Just watched the video of the Giovanni fight. That's some intense shit. I wish I was able to watch it live. Must have been a real nail biter live.
I like the idea of spending some time grinding in Cinnabar Island. Much better then spending forever to get into Victory Road and promptly blacking out.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I really hate to say this but getting Ghastly would probably be a good idea

Was out for 2 days, but damn that Giovanni fight! 
AWESOME!
AWESOME!
I saw Cloyster earlier and thought we had somehow miraculously made it to the E4. Not sure how necessary this grinding is, though. I mean, I guess it gives us more durability for Victory Road at least, but I'm not sure how much difference that's going to make in terms of making it through. As for the E4, I have to figure that problem would kind of solve itself since we'd be getting EXP for every try...

I would also like this.

Zapdos and Pidgeot would be getting EXP. I don't think the weaker Pokemon like ATV and Air would get much out of it though.
You're a wonderful human being.

Do we even have enough money to get him back?

He's not in the PC, he's at the daycare center.
Oh yeah. Didn't think of that (still, I only want to know his current level)

Not worth the risk at this point.
We've come too far to accidentally release half the team.

The longer we can last on(in?) Victory Road the better the chance we'll have of doing all the strength puzzles. A lot of Pokemon in it are going to be good/strong against Bird Jesus and Anarchy Jesus, but weak to water. AIR, the Fonz, and Helix all have surf which will take them out easier. But they are all too weak to do anything right now. If we train them up, they'll be able to take large amounts of damage (like both birds do now) and not have much of a problem. The other scenario is we don't train them, and they all get wiped out near the start and we only have the birds carrying us through the whole thing (which will be difficult with all the rock/ground types).

I'm pretty sure our parties full so well have to make room in the PC. As someone else mentioned day cares in gen 1 only take 1 Pokemon at a time.

Just watched that Giovanni battle for the first time and DAMN.
That final Bird Jesus vs Rhydon battle was HYPE.

How much has gastly leveled up?
Someone before has made an estimation, saying he's around level 45. We can afford to let him stay there until he's 100.
Estimates put him comfortably in the 40s.

What are the wild pokemon like at Seafoam? If you're going to grind you might as well have some fun and try to get something.
It could potentially be in the 50s due to all the steps, problem is that space would need to be made in the party as well as (I think) $51,000 to pay for it back

Could he even learn any worthwhile moves? He would know Lick, Night Shade, Hypnosis, and Dream Eater if I'm not mistaken. And I think it's asking a bit too much from chat to be able to set up a Hypnosis/DE combo.
We have the money for that? I can't remember how expensive day care was in gen 1 but aren't we always broke in tpp?
OMG so damn good!
You pay $100 + $100x where x is the number of levels gained.

We should probably get him out before he hits lvl 100. We want that Haunter.
Same guy said that it would take 7300 more or less to take him back. We can get as much if we don't have enough already.

The max amount we would owe for a lvl 100 is $7800. Since we deposited him at 23 and every level gained is 100 + the initial 100 base cost. We currently have $13,000

I swear to god if we go back to the daycare only to find out we can't afford him.
Also, I missed the Gio fight but caught it on YouTube. So proud. Our lord with the OHKO and based bird jesus forever clutch

Ah my mistake, I thought it was 1000x. I remembered having a pokemon trapped in the daycare once because I couldn't afford to get it back so I assumed it was the larger amount haha.

At this point Ghastly is a better option, since he's most likely 55+. Keeper is still 30. Personally, I think getting Ghastly is a good idea (1. Think of the Never Gonna Give You Up memes. 2. He will be high level.) BUT I can't stress enough how awful it would be to botch the PC and lose all the hard work we've made with Bird Jesus and Zapdos. Can you imagine losing both of them? I don't want to.

cinnabar island?
When it'll be time to seriously try the elite four we could try approaching the PC with democracy and do what we must.
Reading up on the manga on bulbapedia and I came across a particularly dark entry on Haunter.

dat Nidoking sprite. So good.
Guys, getting out Ghastly is an awful idea. Ignoring the obvious needing to go to the PC, you have to look at its moveset. Confuse Ray, Dream Eater, Hypnosis, and Night Shade. He's unlikely to be getting dream eater/hypnosis combos that often, and night shade does a fixed damage equal to the user's level. Even if he was level 100, he'd only do 100 damage per turn, which will be a 3-4 hit ko on most e4 pokemon.
Now factor in that he's still only level 4x, getting night shade off is only a 1/4th chance, we have to revisit a ledge to enter the daycare, the fucking PC, and needing to either backtrack through Mt Moon both ways AGAIN or do seafoam islands to even get there, and IMO it's pretty obviously not worth it. Besides, ATV, who we'd likely swap out for him, learns good psychic moves pretty soon, which if we can actually learn, will make him already better than ghastly.
