Yeah i restarted last night on blue server with Pika and got myself a nidoran and doing good old fashioned speedrun strats xD
Getting the Horsea from viridian forest side quest / cave thing was how i beat brock. Now im leveling Pika and Nidoran side by side until after Misty, then i might just go all in on Nidoking.

Not sure how well speed run strats will work without any X-Accuracies to ensure 100% hit rate on fissure

Why do people use nidoran to speedrun?

I'm obviously just stupid but it doesn't seem that interesting to me.

Cause he's really easy to get. You can do it with Squirtle but you need really good stats on Squirtle while pretty much any Nidoran will do. Horn attack carries you early, thrash is an insanely good move and he gets Fissure later on, which one shots anything after you use an X-accuracy.

Right, but I thought X-acc didn't exist in PRO?

It doesn't, I was talking about why they use Nidoran in R/B/Y. I doubt anyone speed runs PRO and I can't imagine the same strat would work

I get Nidoran as he is strong in Kanto region. Nidoking can pretty much learn every useful move in the game. At the moment i am 4 badges in about to take on Rocket in Sliph Co part of story and i have just relied on Nidoking and Pikachu the whole time.

I was a bit sad when I realized that my entire team of level 80+ pokemon was pretty much useless because Gengar 1-shot everything.

The AI still needs some work but it's pretty funny when it spams Haze against Pidgey or Earthquake against Gengar.

Your Pika can learn surf too. South of Fuchsia City there is the Surfmaster at the beach!

Lol he all killed my team with that Pikachu. And he has like 4 other Pokemon for the fight, and I have no idea who they are. They were mean to make you fight him right after a gym

They seem to be updating it a lot, another update came out today, is there no auto updater in the program? It is kind of annoying to have to re download constantly lol

Yeah that was a bit funny, there wasn't as far as i could see either a patch notes to said update either? All i know is that i instantly logged into blue server at 18:00cest which has been unheard of the whole time i have been playing. So if they were expanding servers :D

You can do a "/who" to see how many spots are on the server. I did that on the Yellow server last night and the capacity was still the same (1800). My guess is that having the manually upgrade the client probably lowers the amount of players for a bit after each update.

I am really enjoying the game now, killed the 5 dudes on bridge and now trying to figure out how to get my Bike after killing everything in the S S Ann and giving the captain that berry lol, I am using Gyrados, Pikachu, Arbok, and a few others, really enjoying it and realizing how difficult this game can be especially in PvP, it has really made me fall in love with Pokemon again! =)
