In Veilstone City, or somewhere. Just tried the gym, but although everyone on the way was incredibly easy to defeat, the gym leader had a lucario I couldn’t touch. Very frustrating. I’ll have to do quite a lot of levelling, I think.

Having some trouble with the third gym. Don’t have anything very good against ghost types.

I’ve put in ten hours now. I’ve liberated the windworks from the evil Team Galactic and have fought my way through Eterna Forest. I guess I’ve got a gym to do next. I hope I’m strong enough – I’ve been doing a lot of quite tedious levelling up. At least, though, my Abra finally evolved into something useful.

I know, I know. I’ve played through Diamond and this is pretty much the same game again, with some different gyms and a few wifi additions and other bits and bobs, so why play it again? Well, I was wondering the same thing, but I think the answer is quite simple: it’s Pokemon.

I wasn’t quite feeling it until last night when I caught an Abra. He’s utterly useless in a battle, but his Teleport move seems like it’ll be very useful outside of battle, so I think I’ll treat him like a Magikarp and hope he gets some decent moves before too long.

…I’m sure there are odder game concepts than “roguelike Pokemon bounty hunter”, but few spring readily to mind.
