Ok, so i didn't post in the weekend because, in fact, i didn't have any gaming plans at all, but things went awry and i found a neat refuge in my games. I focused in two of them exactly:
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Last time i played, i had just left the tower where Alloy discovered who her mom was, and i was ready to get to the next stop of the min plot, but on my way i stopped by Meridian, and completed both Erend and Orin's plots - wich i had left uncomplete - before going forward. I was dissapointed with both not because of the conclusion, but because of the final battles: An idiot with a sonic weapon that didn't affect me because i always attack from afar followed by a flock of robot birds that fall with a couple of fire arrows, and on Orin's side just another Eclipse settlement, wich i solved fairly easily.
Now, i'm torn between keep following the main plot or go for the long legs and cauldrons.
And, as for my second choice, it was
Pokémon SoulSilver
Ok, first things first: That's a DraStiC screenshot. Honestly, the more i play DS games on my 3DS, the more i hate how they look, and since i don't have a DS i decided to pay for DraStiC, and man, that was such a great choice. It took me a little while to figure out some stuff, but in the end, the final result was worth the effort.
...Where was i? Oh, yes, last time i played i had just reached Goldenrod, so after doing the usual - check out the Radio Tower, get the Pokégear card, speak with the TRash over there and fight in the subway - i rearrange my team, grinded a little, and went to the Goldenrod gym with a simple but effective plan: GrassKlown, my Bellsprout, would go out first turn agaisnt the most PS heavy 'mons (and Withney's Miltank) and use Poison Power on then so, worst case scenario, the fight would evolve into a battle of attrition that my non poisoned Pokémon would win.
Well, that plan failed because
the little fucker fell asleep to a Jigglypuff's Sing in the very first battle, and then
let himself be doubleslapped to death not waking up in five turns! So i had to resort to Plan B: Put Miltank to sleep with Hypnosis, debuff her to hell and back and beat her.
And even with that, i ended up with two critters on the red (the rest were defeated) because the goddamn cow wouldn't stop using Milk Drink! I won because of a lucky chain of crits!
Oh well, last thing i did was catching Sudowoodo and head back to the Pokémon Center to heal my team because jesus fuck was that derpy tree hard to catch!
This is my team as of now:
- PyroMouse the Quilava (lv. 18) - Surprisingly unused to the point that i don't even know how she reached that level! After Azalea, everything wants and can kill her! To her credit, she did a number on Withney's goons at the gym, and held her own agaisnt Miltank until a crit 3xRollout took her out, even with max debuffed attack
- WiseOwl the Hoothoot (lv. 17) - Co-star at the Goldenrod gym and unsung MVP agaisnt Withney thanks to his hypnosis. Learned Uproar, wich has made him a bit of a powerhouse, but that attack negates sleep, so...
- Asimova the Flaaffy (lv. 18) - Asimova evolved! She was one of the survivors of the Miltank calamity wich she paralyzed mid battle to make her fail her rollouts more often. Didn't really do much aside of that, but her evolution saved the day.
- Emeth the Geodude (lv. 18) - The last stand agaisnt Miltank AND Sudowoodo, he tanked everything and returned hits twofold. This one's a keeper, at least for now.
- Dooper the Wooper (lv. 18) - The little critter that could! Bad attacker and defender, but got in a couple of crits agaisnt Miltank that put us reaaaally close to victory... Before the effin' cow used Milk Drink and beat up the poor thing with rollout (managed to go 5x before paralysis stopped it!)
- GrassKlown the Bellsprout (lv. 17) - He's going out as soon as i find something decent to rotate him for. Where are the hoppips? Why haven't i found a fucking Hoppip yet? You literally had ONE job, GrassKlown!
And that would be it. Having it in my phone means that i'm going to play this more than i expected. Next objective? I guess looking up the burnt tower and taking care of the next gym, wich will probably happen through the week.
