Mons that learn it by level up in Gen III: Mudkip line, Dustox, Pelipper, Aron line, Volbeat, Torkoal, Corphish line, Anorith line, Snorunt line, Shelgon
Of those, it's unbelievably easy to have Dustox or Pelipper by the fifth Gym. Dustox in particular learns Protect at level 17.
Bewitching EyesIf you know what Norman's packing, it's far from dumb to keep a Protector hanging around in your party.
Bewitching EyesListen, if my father is dumb enough to be packing a 'mon with Truant in Singles then I'm going to ram his ass into the ground without regrets.
Wake up, old man, ya dipshit.

I already had Gardevoir and Manectic by the time I faced Norman and I imagine it made the fight go a bit easier.
After successfully paralyzing Slaking, it was a lot easier. My pokemons did keep getting knocked out before paralyzing it and I had to use revive three times though.
Revives are THE one item that I feel is kind of cheap.
Personally I feel they(and the like) should only be usable outside battle. Not within. Or maybe have them unusable in trainer battles, like pokeballs. Even within the context of the game's world they feel kind of unfair.
Hey are you using swellow at all? I remember it being surprisingly decent much of the game.

MIND = BLOWN
Disable is actually supposed to be the pokemon inducing sleep paralysis, as the Japanese name is the term used to refer to as such(kuro mind fact checking this?). Seems like a lot of pokemon who learn it level up are either able to use natural sleep inducing moves(jigglypuff, drowzee) or occult like since sleep paralysis was believed to be caused by supernatural creatures sitting on your chest or holding you down.
It also makes the sleep talk workaround it a nice case of Fridge Brilliance.
Bulbapedia tells me the JP name for Disable is "Temporary Binding".
Goddammit, Schezo... || *insert incredibly thirsty copypasta about Dr. Ratio*So this comic
made me ponder.
You know what would be a mundane but absolutely frightening motivation for a Pokémon villain? Changing the Pokémon Center system so that the centers would charge the trainers for healing pokemons.
Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.Pfft. That's so unrealistic. Only a cartoon villain does that. No real person would even think about it.
Continue writing our story of peace.I honestly wouldn't mind. You pay for inns in basically every other RPG in existence and there's yet to be a Pokemon game where you're not rolling in money at basically any given point (barring certain circumstances).

Playing through Emerald. Defeated Norman. Yayz. It was tough, but not a battle I couldn't win in first try. Dat Slaking, tho.
