UPDATE 12: SPAMIGO GETS GHOSTED

capture-001

Hearthome Gym! It’s supposed to be pitch black and you can only see what’s illuminated by your flashlight but… that didn’t want to work in DeSmuME.

So I get to just run straight through.

capture-002

Kinda claustrophobic for a Gym Leader room, isn’t it? Comparatively speaking, I mean.

capture-003 capture-004

Fantina does a twirl before she laughs at double text size volume.

capture-005 capture-006
capture-007 capture-008

Her dress is based on Drifblim and I think Drifblim is cool so I think the dress c’est une good.

capture-009 capture-010
capture-011 capture-012

Non?

capture-013 capture-014

See it’s got the little plus and everything.

capture-041 capture-042

Reina uses Focus Energy to boost her crit chance, while Duskull sets up Future Sight.

capture-043 capture-044

…Okay? She wasn’t using her Attack anyway!

capture-048 capture-049
capture-050

Reina’s taking a lot of punishment but she just pushed the Duskull below the Potion Threshold, and…

capture-051 capture-052

A timely crit basically undoes that Super Potion! But she is at 10 HP.

capture-053

Which isn’t a lot of HP if you’re a Horsea.

capture-054 capture-055

Anomalo tags in and takes out the Duskull.

Which saddens me a bit because as a mecha nerd I’ve always been tickled by Duskull’s Zeon monoeye thing it has going on. If I ever trained a Duskull I’d name it Zaku I. Then Zaku II when it evolves. Dusknoir can be Psycho Zaku.

capture-057 capture-058

I love it when free status effects hit my opponent.

capture-059 capture-060
capture-061 capture-062

I believe some Paralysis rolls helped, but Mina’s also just trading blows pretty well here.

capture-065 capture-066

Even through the Super Potion she comes out on top.

capture-067 capture-068

And now I’m VERY glad that I got Fantina to burn her Super Potions on not this Mismagius. It’s going to be a challenge to-

capture-069 capture-070

Oh look Quick Claw activated. Getting the speed advantage on this witch will make things easier.

capture-072 capture-073

That was still predictable though. You did a good job, Mina.

capture-076 capture-079

ANOMALO! GRIND THAT SPEED STAT INTO THE DUST! THE DUST!

capture-084

you’d think that since i look up gym leader teams before the battle (but not during) i’d remember which mons have berries and have Castellia use Bug Bite

you’d be wrong but you could think that all the same

capture-086 capture-087

You hit more than enough, Anomalo. I’m sure that in a different RPG system, we’d be taking two turns to each of the Mismagius’ one.

capture-088 capture-089
capture-090

Anyway, since this thing likes its Psybeam so much, we’ll give it a taste of the ol’ Poison/D-

capture-091 capture-092

wat

IS THE EMULATOR BUGGING OUT NOW?!

capture-093 capture-094

hurry hurry move past it before it realize it broke the type chart

capture-095 capture-096

I’m glad I don’t have to clean up the piles of rubble.

capture-097 capture-098
capture-099 capture-100

Badges

capture-102 capture-103
capture-105 capture-106

Sadly Anomalo’s claws are not shadowy enough to make use of this move. You might call that a flaw but I’ve always thought his tangibility was a beautiful thing.
