I am so bad at this, doesn't the steel cancel out the electric resistance from Rock?

Rock does not resist Electric, and Steel doesn't take SE damage from Electric. so you get hit for neutral damage.

You can catch Sandshrew in route 113. Just north of Mauville.

People just think Rock resists Electric because almost all the Rock types were also Ground types.

^^^Oh, okay.

^^Yay!

^Yeah, that's probably why I thought it.

Wasn't Nosepass the very first pure Rock type?

EDIT: Nevermind that was Sudowoodo.

edited 10th May '11 9:52:30 AM by Neo_Crimson

And because the anime insisted that rock resists electric.

Sudowoodo.

-Pats his Gigalith, Audilith, carefully-

@Marioguy: Vanillite learns Sheer Cold at level 43. The rules for my playthrough are no evolution until all level-up moves reached.

gonna have a hell of a time with larvesta.

He'll have a super easy time with Tynamo, though.

Good thing I have no plans on using Larvesta, then.

(Eh, I'll probably not hold myself to that postgame. And in Platinum/Heart Gold, I cheated with Magikarp anyways.)

@Tangent: No, Vanillite learns Sheer Cold at level 53.

EDIT: Or 52. Huh?

Oh, my bad. Mixed up Vanillite and Oshawott.

So, what's the word on the story? :3

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

Sinnoh is so annoying! There is no possible place to start and end in one straight path, because there are 3 places with dead ends!

EDIT: If anyone else thinks of something, make sure Canalave is last, since it has a port.

Now let's divide it up so we can handle em a few at a time.

A few things to know is that:

• Between Pallet and Cinnabar, he has to take a ship. As well as the trip from Cinnabar to Fuschia the second time.
• 2nd and 3rd times in Fuschia are for passing-by.
• We'll assume he gets a bike in the bike store in Cerulean that's going out of business, so as to allow him to use Cycling Road.
• From Saffron to Vermillion, he goes off the path and into Diglett's Cave somewhere. (optional)
• From Vermillion to Cianwood, the Aqua is intending to go to Olivine but is thrown off course by Lugia and the Whirl Islands.
• After a brief stop at Cianwood, a ship is needed again to get to Olivine.
• At Ecruteak, he picks up Surf, for convenience (Nidoking can learn Surf).
• Sightseeing at the Ruins of Alph. (optional)
• Cherrygrove is in between Violet and Route 45 (optional since he can use Dark Cave.)
• He can go off course to Mt. Silver for whatever reason. (optional)
• Lake of Rage leads off to Sinjoh Ruins where he gets lost in between Lo R, SJR, and Pastoria City.
• Lost in Turnback Cave. (optional)
• The two trips through Mt. Coronet may be taken differently. (i.e. above and through)
• Gets on ship at Snowpoint to go to Hoenn.
• Briney's ship to get to Dewford.
• Briney again to get to Petalburg Forest.
• Meteor Falls in between Rustboro and Fallabor.
• May or may not cut through Mt. Chimney to get to Lavaridge.
• Visit Mt. Pyre in between Fortree and Lilycove. (Optional)
• Surfing to Mossdeep.
• Surfing to Sootopolis. (may or may not climb the exterior or get dive sometime earlier.)

• Surf between Slateport and Oldale.
• Backtrack from Petalburg to Slateport to get on ship to Unova.
• Follows regular Unova story path up to Route 10.
• Visit Ancient Castle (optional)
• For sake of simplicity, Barry can climb ledges.
