Mar. 18th, 2025 10:08 pm* The game won't let me into Route 212 southbound from Hearthome City yet, so I have to travel east on Route 209.
* I will take the free pokemon egg from the NPC at the beginning of the route, because I feel like that shouldn't count as a route catch. I think it gives a Happiny or some such thing?
* The available pokemon on Route 209 that I haven't caught yet are Bibarel, Mime Jr, and Chansey. Based on the odds, I'll likely be getting a Bibarel. I honestly don't know how I haven't caught one yet, they're on practically every route.
* Yup, Bibarel. I feel like this is an appropriate pokemon to name Fred Colon.
* For some reason I didn't remember that a fisherman here gives me a Good Rod, which can catch things besides Magikarp. Specifically, it has a 35% chance of a Goldeen (and a 65% chance of a Magikarp). I figure I may as well treat the different rods like honey trees since each one only has a single catch pool in most locations, so I'll go ahead and fish up a Goldeen. I almost feel like I'm still getting an unmanageable number of pokemon even at one per route, but it's certainly an interesting experience?
* The Goldeen was holding a Mystic Water, which is useful to boost water-type moves. I named her Sacharissa.
* On the same route, I pass by the Lost Tower, a mausoleum for dead Pokemon. I already have Gastly and Zubat, but at night there's a 20% chance of encountering Murkrow, which I haven't caught yet. (Murkrow is the Brilliant Diamond exclusive here, with Misdreavus being in Shining Pearl instead. Which is a shame, I could really use a pure Ghost type.)
* I named my Murkrow Maladict. It's a male, but really for Monstrous Regiment names it's all kind of up in the air anyway.
* The only thing you can catch in Solaceon Ruins is Unown, which is pretty deeply useless, but I picked one up anyway. It happened to be a letter K, and I couldn't think of a Discworld character beginning with K (I'm sure there's a perfectly obvious one I'm spacing on), so I just named it K.
* I don't really feel like tackling Route 210 and Route 215 north and east of Solaceon Town tonight, they're both really long and full of trainer battles, so I think I'll pack up for tonight.
