Pokemon Blue, Day Twenty-eight

Last time, Fuchsia!

Today, running around after loose ends, actually.

Checking movesets, tauros' is even more lamentable than dratini's, and without any hope of pokedex data. I may bring one with me for Seafoam Islands, though. Until then, I guess I'll raise a dratini.

Pokemon Blue, Day Twenty-seven

Well. I don't have time to spend several months chasing tauros, so it's time to do what I never did back in the first gen, and use a code.

01005AD0 lets you have regular battles within the Safari Zone. The list I found it on is quite nice. A problem with looking up pokemon codes that's been there since the beginning is that most codes are varients of the same stuff you'd get for any game - have any X, have infinite X, have all X, and different sorts of unbeatable/unkillable cheats. It can take a while to find a set by someone who has the slightest idea what's actually important.

Let's fill the pokedex.

So now I can climb up the ghost tower and actually get attacked!

Pokemon Blue, Day Twenty-two

Less "broke into" and more "walked into". Seriously, a switch? You can't have like a number pad or something? Or even a guard that doesn't pick a fight, then walk off after losing?

Pokemon Blue, Day Twenty-one

Last time, the department store and evolution.

Just beyond there...

Pokemon Blue, Day Twenty

Last time, Celadon!



I have to admit, there is something surprisingly pleasant about the place despite all reason. You've got Team Rocket grunts in the streets, guys going on about how this is all just a game, gambling and gambling addicts... But it's a big open place with lots of nice things too. Like the department store.

Now, Celadon! City of cool stuff and fourth-wall-breaking.

Pokemon Blue, Day Eighteen

Before we leave Lavender, let's stop off at one other house.
