Last night I did Victory Road and then beat the Elite Four with my starter, the legendary birds, Snorlax and my Spearow that’s there just to use Fly. Agatha was the hardest because I had bad coverage for her. Oddly, Champion Blue was very straightforward, as was Lance since I used Thunder and Ice Beam. I’ll probably be done with the post-game by next week. Then it will be a case of completing my living both genders dex, remembering to get both starters from the other version.
I’ve finally started Pokémon LeafGreen this week. My goal is to have a complete living form dex with both genders where possible. I probably only have about 50 or so at present. I’ve been battling every trainer so far and have been using a level 60 male Venusaur (my starter) and a level 34 female Snorlax recently (the one I caught at Celadon). I’m trying to obtain everything in a Poké Ball too, so I will breed my Safari Ball catches.
After 200%ing Super Bomberman 5 with continues, I decided to use save points for both NES games, saving at the start of each level and reloading if I died. I didn’t want the tedium of having to be more cautious with the preciser controls by and/or keep starting over.
So that probably completes my journey for this collection 🙂
This game had very awkward bosses. The other levels were very straightforward. I just used continues and didn’t need help from save points. The challenge was finding every route to clear the levels 100%. I resorted to looking up the last two routes when I was at 95% completion. But it’s not over… in this game, you do it all over again (with different item placements I think) for 200%! So there’s now that and the two NES games to try to finish for next week. I’ll probably use a guide to speed things up.
The fourth game was much more straightforward with continues as you could replay levels to stack up on power ups and buddies. The fifth game just seems a big grind because of a lot of alternate exits, and the first boss was pretty frustrating too.
Although it started off easy, it was difficult from World 4 onwards and too difficult for me to beat World 6 with just continues. I resorted to making a save state after I got the brown line bomb Louie and then saving at the start of each level with the Louie intact. And it still took quite a number of tries to beat the boss! Apparently 4 & 5 are like this too!
Super Bomberman 2 took me much longer to beat with continues than the first game. I was learning how to beat the final boss by playing it repeatedly for about five hours!
The third game luckily seems fairly straightforward, so far at least.
I got Super Bomberman Collection for the Switch 2 yesterday. So far I’ve just beaten Super Bomberman (with continues).
There are 6 more games to beat: Super Bomberman 2, 3, 4, 5 and Bomberman and Bomberman 2 (NES).
I reached Level 73 on Pokémon GO a couple of days ago.
I now have 41 hundo level 50 best buddies and working on buddying up two more.
I’ve also got more than 100 candy for every Pokémon I have except the recent Glimmet. I also want to get 11 more candy in Toedscool so I have 150 candy, ready to evolve to Toedscruel and reduce back to 100 and 75 more candy for Applin for its gen 9 evolutions.
Additionally, I have 921 3 star Pokémon in my living (species) dex now, just 104 less than the national dex as of gen 9 and 18 missing from those in the game:
Missing Rotom, Keldeo, Hawlucha, Zygarde, Mudbray, Mudsdale, Comfey, Clobbopus, Grapploct, Morgrem, Zarude, 1 of Kubfu/Urshifu, Toedscool, Toedscruel, Glimmet, Gholdengo, Dipplin and Hydrapple.
This week I finished off improving my Pre-DLC times.
First was vs Rogue Mega Banette, where I reused Sharpedo with no new moves. I did reorder things and anticipate which way they would move in order to optimise my run though.
Second was vs Rogue Mega Altaria, where I realized a critical hit with Steel Beam could finish it off faster than with Gengar. Luckily when the critical hit finally came, I was on a pretty good run.
I had previously done a sub 80 second recorded run with Simulated Zygarde, one of the eleven new simulations. I improved that to sub 70s.
And I also recorded a sub 35 second run for Mega Absol Z, using Magearna’s Fleur Cannon.
I’m working on a few others of the remaining 9, so hopefully I can add most of them in the next upcoming week.
Also, I found out there was a discovered glitch that uses forfeit to cancel move cooldowns. I used it with Rayquaza vs Rogue Mega Victreebel to lower that time by about 2 seconds. I will record the runs where a time save is possible with this glitch probably after I’ve finished uploading good times for the remaining 9 new simulations.
