Pokemon Black/White Journal

[LocoColt04]

Purrloin is a giant pain in the ass. While you're there outside of Pinwheel though, make sure you catch a Sawk or a Throh, whichever is relevant to your version. If you haven't already done the second gym, having a fighting type is certainly useful.

Sawk is much better than Throh; if you have White, Throh will be your default, so keep an eye out for rustling grass and the chance to get Sawk instead.

I am getting KO'd so much. This is unbelievable. I'm wandering around the outside of Pinwheel Forest trying to grind up a bit more. Finally found a female Audino so Attraction isn't quite as worthless. Seems to have a better ability as well. Switched.

That pokemon with the tree trunk is now my mortal enemy. It can KO half my team if the level is high enough. !@#$ing low kick.

Considering trading Pansage in for something else. I've never had good luck with pure grass types, and this doesn't seem to be an exception. It may just be the crappy repertoire of moves though. Tympole seemed like a nice alt until I saw how all over the place its stats were.

Edit: I'm actually using repels in the earlier parts of the game. Before there wasn't a legitimate reason other than laziness. Now they're needed to avoid other Pokemon so I can get to the shaky grass.

5% in swaying grass. Ugggghhhh. I don't even need a fighting type since I have the pig. This is masochistic.

Purrloin is useless, I was terrified that the game had just gotten so unbearably hard in this next gen. Turns out Purrloin is a shitty pokemon.

I'm not going to hesitate to throw it into a shoebox then.

I also forgot to mention that this time around, you don't need Gym badges to use the HMs.

YES.

Telegraph: BUY IT. I REQUIRE SACRIFICES FOR THE PIT.
