Description
The Kanto journey accelerates down the tracks in Part 2 of our Pokémon FireRed playthrough! We are kicking off the session by mapping out our strategy, updating our inventory, and stepping directly into the Pewter City Gym to take down Brock. From there, major upgrades await our movement speed and our team synergy as we enter the dangerous depths of Mt. Moon.
🪨 The Boulder Badge Showdown: Going head-to-head with Brock, utilizing our high-leverage Metal Claw sweeps to counter his rock-hard defense.
👟 Major Movement Upgrade: Meeting up with Professor Oak's aide right outside town to claim our new Running Shoes.
🔥 Charmeleon Evolution: Powering our starter up to level 16/17 mid-grind to trigger our very first major starter evolution!
⚡ Misty Prep Protocol: Entering the opening sectors of Mt. Moon to power up Pikachu to level 10 ahead of the Cerulean City Water Gym.
🧬 Retro Feature Highlights: Breaking down the old-school Game Boy Advance save-file "flashback system" with the chat.
Drop a comment below with your favorite Generation 3 evolution memories, let me know if you prefer the old manual XP-sharing method over the modern system!
