Sacked off Rhyhorn for Charmeleon.
Hypno (he has barrier) and Onix just can't die so I wanted someone who could bring a bit more offensive power.
I'm now carving my way through the game despite being so much lower on power than they recommend.

Hypno is actually insane.
No matter the fight I've never seen him lose more than a quarter of his health.
Never had a Hypno but he's probably a good one to have for the Psychic level later.
I'm gonna be here for days just slowly grinding up levels unless I sacrifice all my other Pokemon except the big 3.... so I'm getting tempted to do that.
Just got a 66 caterpie from my new pot.
With stones he's now at 1356 HP and 1409 attack.
Managed to get a Golem who became my 2nd best Pokemon and then fed most of my others to him trying to get Harden but failing. He did get Earthquake though... so that'll have to do for now.
I'm doing the physic levels and Hypno is still donning it.
Team strength is 6,338 and we just took down 9-4 which has a recommended strength of 11,600.
He still hasn't lost more than 25% HP in a match.
Edit: He died on 9-5. Recommended strength of 13,500 was just too much.

I think I've got to about 80% of Mewtwo's health but he seems able to one shot me at will the moment I stop dodging, which makes it almost impossible. I'm also seriously struggling to improve the team. Grinding by doing missions takes forever and if you lose to Mewtwo you get no EXP and no items which is a killer.
I got a Geodude with 3 slots and Harden and was tempted to put my Golem into it for EXP... the only thing stopping me was that even with that I was still losing about 20 levels. In the end I used Geodude to move train and now my Golem has Harden with 3 slots
With that I booted Wigglytuff (don't want 2 defenders) for Gyarados (just about the only good Pokemon I have left after farming all my others for EXP) and I'm even closer to beating Mewtwo, but still not quite there. I feel a few more levels on Gyarados will get us over the top as he'll earn another stone and his bingo bonus is +500 HP (I think... it may have been Attack) so he'll be gaining about 1000 stat points which will almost certainly make up the difference.
Just a case of cooking up enough meals to attract the Pokemon needed to give him the EXP....
Managed to beat Mewtwo easily on a random attempt. Machamp was almost dead but didn’t die once, Golem lost about 20% of his health and Gyarados didn’t have a scratch on him. Harden the difference maker.
Just got a Level 97 Shiny Shellder from my first Gold pot. Statistically he's already my best Pokemon even before he evolves and he's fucking shiny... so in he comes for Machamp. Gyarados is only 5th on stats (behind Shellder, Machamp, Golem and Wigglytuff) but he's been so immense that he stays in the team. Hit healing really is the key to the whole game.
Current team is:
Shellder (Level 97, HP 3234, Attack 3042)
Golem (Level 78, HP 4362, Attack 1007)
Gyarados (Level 66, HP 3232, Attack 1827)
Would love to be able to upgrade Tackle on Gyarados and Bubble on Shellder though.
I also got a level 88 Rhyhorn who may come in when he evolves, but evolving him will be a mission. I also would have no idea who to put him in for because Gyarados despite being the lowest really carries us.

So Pokemon Quest is out on mobile.
Currently rocking Machop, Rhyhorn and starter Bulbasaur.
It looks cute.
Is it any good?
I'm a twit
It is a good pick up and play. Handy for train journeys.
I'm now rocking a Level 62 Onix, 33 Magmar and 33 Aerodactyl. Still faffing about on 7-5 and 8-5 though. Too much of a wuss to waste a battery charge.
Completed Pokemon Quest with the below team:
Nidoking Lv67 - HP 1802, Attack 3878 - Megahorn (3 Whack-Whack)
Alakazam Lv75 - HP 1580, Attack 3773 - Psybeam, Psychic (Whack-Whack, Scattershot)
Magneton Lv71 - HP 2737, Attack 2262 - Charge, Flash Cannon (Whack-Whack, Broadburst)
Looking forward to the sequels at some point.
Just seen the news in Pokemon Go saying soon the game won’t need to be open to track steps for buddy candy and egg hatching. That’s fantastic news.

I thought I was the only one here who still played!
Me, you and @Queenslander

Me too. Nearly level 40.
Never got into Pokemon Go, but I've recently been 'teaching' my 7-year old how to play Pokemon Moon on the 3DS.

Anyone trying the new Switch version? I was looking forward to it until I read about it. Seems gimmicky as fuck.
I keep changing my mind.
It's just a slightly revamped Pokemon Yellow effectively.
It looks and sounds amazing. Not played a lot yet, hardly any infact, but yeah, it’s how the first games looked and sounded in your head. Gorgeous!
It’s way too easy and the catching is boring, but looks wise it’s incredible and gives me high hopes for the proper game next year.
If anyone has Eevee and wants to trade some exclusives let me know.
That's what I feared the most. Still unsure whether I should bother with it. Haven't played a Pokemon game since Blue, which I quite enjoyed.
10% of Switch owners bought the game in the first 3 days which seems low to me.
The more I play it, the more I like it. I’m using it to introduce my daughter to the series and she is loving it, and to be fair they do seem to have put the odd challenge in here and there in the form of ‘coach trainers’ while the gyms usually pack at least one surprise. It’s better than Ultra Sun, that’s for sure.
My daughter loves Oddish so much we weren’t allowed to use Bulbasaur though, despite him being 1 of 5 Pokemon she could name going in.
Loving this so far. So pretty.
Team is ever changing, leaving Mt Moon I've got: Magikarp, Pikachu, Nidoran M, Nidoran F, Bulbasaur and Charmander. Picked up a random Chansey in Mt Moon too.
I caved and bought this, I still don't understand the Pokemon Go thing. Am I supposed to press A when the circle is big or small?
Any other tips I should know?
You're supposed to chuck the thing through the circle, and the smaller the circle is the better.
You get basically fuck all EXP for battles, so it's worth catching shit even if you don't need it. Catching evolved Pokemon seems the best way to get decent EXP, especially if you catch the same Pokemon a few times in a row. Any duplicates you will never use can be sent to the Professor in exchange for "candies" which will improve stats of the Pokemon you are using.
You say chuck the thing through the circle, am I supposed to be aiming for something? I'm playing undocked so I'm just pressing A (to 'Get Ready' but sometimes I don't need to press Get Ready and I don't know why) then a green circle goes around and occasionally the pokemon stops the green circle but I don't know why then I press A again.
I've only played docked, but I press A to get ready and then throw the ball through the circle, with the smaller circle scoring more EXP points (assuming the catch is successful). The Pokemon do stop it occasionally and if you throw at that point they'll knock the ball away, which is just an annoyance.
I'm guessing undocked works the same way, and you should be aiming to throw the PokeBall through the green circle when it is as small as possible, even if the actual throwing mechanic is replaced by pressing A or whatever you have to do.
Edit- Yea, I just tried one undocked, and it's the same process. A to get ready and then click A when the circle is as small as possible. It'll come up "Excellent" if you get it spot on, or various other things depending how close you are.

Oh I thought Nice! was the best one. Turns out I've been doing it wrong the whole time because I did a really small circle and the Pokemon bopped it away.
Fought my rival, 'Garbage Boy' who had a level 7 Eevee and a level 3 Pidgey to my full party of Level 6-9 Pokemon though so I can't be fucking up too badly. Does seem very easy though.
I love that they've turned the Team Rocket guards into Jesse and James though. Broke my brain as a kid who watched the cartoon for a year before his parents would get him a GameBoy that they weren't in it outside of one or two battles.
The difficulty does pick up somewhat around the half way point. It's still not hard, but it's not as mind numbingly easy as the early parts. Giving Pikachu Double Kick to essentially hand you the first badge was ridiculous.
Look out for guys in red (I think? Maybe orange) outfits that hang around in Pokemon Centres starting with Cerulean City's one too. They'll teach Pikachu some pretty amazing moves.

If/When I get this I'll be going for Eevee.
Given that you can't evolve Eevee and you can get Eevee in the wild in both games, there's not as much of an advantage as you would think, but the starter Eevee does sound even more broken than Pikachu.
I need to find someone with Eevee so I can trade though because fuck using Pokemon Go.
Yeah but Pikachu is a twat.
I got Let's Go today. No battles to catch a Pokemon? What the fuck?
Yeah it sucks. Don’t forget to use the save function. I lost 6 hours progress after a switch patch restarted the console.
After a dodgy start, Let's Go has really grown on me. I'm still at a bit of a loss as to how I level up my Pokemon with no wild Pokemon battles, but it is what it is. I've just Merked the Rockets secret base, now to fuck up some ghosts.
Missingno glitch.
Wait.
They included that?
Fuck me.
Sure they did, go try it and don't stop until he pops up.
