People wanted to deposit Charizard because he was stealing EXP
We deposit Charizard and Magikarp, get a Venonat and some other pokemon I forgot
We go to grind
After blacking out once, people are already tired of grinding and want to get Charizard back
We go to the PC, shuffle around the party, release a handful of digletts, a paras, a fearow, and a krabby I think. Plus we get Charizard back, but lose Onix and Poliswag
We withdrew a Poliwhirl, so we go back to Cerulean City to trade it for a Jynx.
People want to get Onix and Poliswag back.

There is a slight problem. No MAJOR problem. Here is the level up table for Jynx:
Code: 
Start 	Pound 	Normal 	40 	100% 	 35 
Start 	Lovely Kiss 	Normal 	— 	75% 	 10 
18 	Lick 	Ghost 	20 	100% 	 30 
23 	DoubleSlap 	Normal 	15 	85% 	 10 
31 	Ice Punch 	Ice 	75 	100% 	 15 
39 	Body Slam 	Normal 	85 	100% 	 15 
47 	Thrash 	Normal 	90 	100% 	 20 
58 	Blizzard 	Ice 	120 	90% 	 5

Notice something missing? This is Rick Gastly all over again*.

As you can see the moves until level 31 are fairly shit and there are no psychic type moves. Who thought oh I'll make an Ice/Phychic Pokemon who doesn't get any Psychic moves by level up. And you know what? It took until Generation V for them to fix this. Heart Stamp being a Physical Phychic move on a special offensive Pokemon is a *trollface* That little rant missed an important point. In Gen II Smoochum was introduced as the baby form of Jynx. This in fact does get Psychic as a level up move (you'll have to cancel evolutions a bit to get it though).

But having such a problem in place is almost as clever as making Bug super effective vs. Psychic and the extremely weak Pin Missile being the best option and hardly any bug types worth using at the end of the game.

*-Everyone was like "Gengar so OP we'll be fine" forgetting that we'll be Haunter at best and the level up table is equally bad outside of TMs and TTP using TMs? :lol:

I don't understand why we're so obsessed with getting Onix back, we don't need to beat Lt. Surge for ages. Our goal is to complete the dex, so long as we're catching Pokemon we're making progress, we can beat Lt. Surge later. Besides Onix doesn't evolve, we should grind Pokemon that do evolve.
Beedrill Hype :p

You all know...nothing will beat our 1st run. I followed it since day1 and I still get chills when I remember:

-The day we named Carmander "abby"
-When we wanted to give Eevee the waterstone but we gave him the fire one
-When we abandoned Abby (lol)
-When we hated Flareon
-When we got the Helix fossil
-When we resurrected GOD
-Fucking Digrat using DIG in front of the fucking scope sylph
-Putting flareon on the PC with "The Keeper" (Drowzee)
-Beating the last Lance's Dragonite with All Terrain Venomoth
-Beating Blue's Blastoise with Batery Jesus

Also, if we get Charizard high enough level, we might be able to just muscle through with Flamethrower since no electric type in gen 1 resists it, unlike our deal with Brock and Misty.

Of course the chat is now panicking and wants to change back to Box 1, which is very difficult to do uncoordinated, and may result in some more Pokémon being deposited or released.

If Charizard is released, our strongest Pokémon is a level 20 Jynx!

We have Krabby, Jynx and Charizard.

This is a GREAT time to get the hell out of there. We got rid of the dead weight (Magikarp, Kakuna), and our only real loss was Onix. With 3 empty spots, we can actually catch useful Pokémon.

If only the chat was smart enough to GTFO :p

I remember training a Krabby and it wasn't bad at all, I hope they keep it.

Edit: At least they aren't in the pokemon center anymore.

Need to heal, but that implies going back into the Center. Twitch chat could never JUST go into the Center.

Edit: LOL "Donation Received from 'PC' -- Message: Baby, it's cold outside. Come to me..."

Okay, we caught a level 21 Diglett, which is very nice considering their levels in Diglett's Cave.

Wow, this new Diglett is a beast! That Dig is powerful.


I swear if these idiots decide to go to the PC anytime soon (._.)

I wish we can stop playing in the PC and get on with it. Honestly this is the best team make up we've had so far. We have Charizard as our heavy, Jynx as our Gen 1 physic type, Diglett for Serge and Krabby for Surf. We shed our dead weight and have open slots for whatever we catch next. We should just roll with it.

Well, let's say our goodbyes to Charizard, because trolls are not going to stop playing in the PC until they release him.

I'm sorry girl, you're too beautiful for this chat.

People need to get the fuck away from the PC.

It doesn't matter if our current team is shit, messing in the PC only makes it worse. People seem to have the memory of a goldfish when it comes to the PC. Remember Emerald? We basically had to start over because we fucked up so badly with it.

Ironically, we had the opposite problem with Drowzee; that was a Pokemon with tons of potential that suffered from horrendous luck and the fact that nobody actually tried to level it up for most of the game.

Yep, I don't think this PC nonsense will stop until Charizard is released. Honestly I don't even care, I just want them to move the fuck on already.

Edit: Well, released or deposited followed by a box change. That seemed to kill the "get onix back" crowd.

TPP still hasn't grown a brain despite a whole year passing by. Grinding ahoy once the trolls (there must be a handful since most of the inputs lead them right into the PC easily) release Charizard because tradition and stuff.

Some of the arguements to go into the PC were reasonably valid, and it's not like anything interesting was happening anyway.

No, not really. We were actually golden with Charizard/Jynx/Diglett/Krabby, but they keep going to the PC. And it's not like they actually care about Kakuna. And the PC is why nothing is happening right now.

Glad this is back, it's almost as much fun as it was the first time. Hope it gets more viewers.

That said, I think at the moment release trolls by far outnumber people who are trying to progress right now.

No, there aren't any valid reasons. We had decent teams several times, and our current team isn't really better than what we had before.

And the PC is boring. Spending hours in front of the PC instead of battling is not interesting to watch. Battling is where all the best moments of TPP come from.
