doing my first ever multiworld randomizer (it is, of course, archipelago august)
and severely fucked up on the generator side which might make it difficult to finish, but we’ll see
additional info/context under jump:
after making a big list with strategies, the answer to problem 1 turned out to be nidorina... which since i sorted most of the evolutions by level, was a nice surprise
(annoyingly, the trainer immediately after where you're meant to get cut had one, so i could have saved a lot of hassle in trying to find this information).
this leads us back to problem 2, i got the badge needed for surf after doing the cut checks, meaning the lack of ability to get charmander is a blocker
so hopefully someone can teach me how to fish
(and also it's the right way of doing so)
have made a list of all outstanding checks and what's locking them
...i wonder if the final playtime will be higher in pokemon or in the sudoku i'm doing for hints while waiting
from hints, confirmation that the only thing blocking me from beating the game at this point is finding a charmander
either i need the super rod (a long way into dark souls 3)
or potentially, i need fly - cinnabar might have been given as the free fly point in the randomizer options, and if it was then i can try reviving the fossils.
the HM for Fly is somewhere within Inscryption, but i haven't found the mon that can use it anyway
so this morning was another evolution spree grind trying to find what that mon is so not stuck when the inscryption player finds the HM
(the only things left to see at this point are gloom, arcanine, onix, weezing, rhydon, chansey, scyther, tauros, aerodactyl, dragonite, and the legendaries. however, oddish is in seafoam and growlithe is in victory road, so those are out)
