^ It's after Blackthorn. It's required to be before you can go to Kanto. Speaking of whiich:
Currently at the E4 with a severely underleved team. My three strongest Pokemon are at levels 54, 45, and 30 respectively with the others being level 25 and under. It sucks that I can't fly back to Johto from my current location. I should've trained earlier.
Is the dude with the Abra still in the E4? If so, he can teleport you back to New Bark Town, I believe.
Anyways, went from Olivine to Cianwood, beat Chuck, healed Amphy, got to the Safari Zone, captured a Misdreavus, and now I am doing all sorts of odds and ends with Surf before I head off to kick Jasmine's butt.
Misdreavus Lv. 20 (F) (Training time with Misdreavus :D)
Quilava Lv. 28 (F) (She's going to get her ass kicked at Jasmine, I just know it ^^;;;)
Slowpoke Lv. 31 (F) (Taking so long to get to level 37 for it to evolve ><)
Weepinbell Lv. 31 (F) (Once she learns Razor Leaf, I'm evolving her to VICTREEBEL WOOHOO!!)
Kenya (Fearow) Lv. 33 (F) (Just...awesome :) )
To do List:
-Finish the Surfable areas (The three sisters that give you soft sand, head to Slowpoke's well, get any other items where Surf is needed)
-Defeat Jasmine (I'm going to neglect Misdreavus and focus on Quilava for a while. I'm scared that I'm going to lose to her. Badly.
-Head off to Mahogany to start (and hopefully finish) training Misdreavus.
-(Maybe?) Catch the Red Gyarados
Future Team Changes
-Found an Old Amber at Ruins of Alph and decided that, as soon as I can, I'm going to get an Aerodactyl to replace Kenya with.
-Evolve Misdreavus (duhhh)
-Might switch out Quilava for another fire type much much later. Probably not, but bad defenses are getting on my nerves. Right now I'm thinking Camerupt would be a good option, but I'm not certain yet.
Since I have gotten pretty far in the game, I'd like to take a moment and say what I like so far about it.
1. Pokemon Following You - This is cool because it just is. I wasn't too excited for it before the game was released, but now that I have it I think it is pretty kick ass. Plus Misdreavus looks adorable following me. :D
2. Pokewalker - I was skeptical at first, but now I take it back. It's actually fun to use and abuse, but I personally like walking to charge it up more than abusing it. Plus it's easier to catch some Pokemon with it. The only problem is that I don't know where to get the batteries for it, for when the battery dies.
3. Touch Screen Controls - It's just cool to see that there's finally more use of the touch screen that the Poketch
4. Graphics - Just awesome and make Johto look fantastic.
5. Music - Anyone who's listened to any of the songs in the game knows what I'm talking about.
