Why are the gym leaders in this generation so determined to not do their jobs? I swear, add in those construction workers from a few updates ago and it’s looking like Kanto is just full of layabouts. Notably, we don’t seem to need Cut to enter Erika’s gym. We of course need the Coin Case before playing. The Pokémon prizes aren’t too spectacular, but I really want those TMs. The casino looks hella grand in this game. They’re obviously quite the presence in this city. Just to the south of the Pokémon Centre we find this Rocket member. So let’s have a look around this big city! Celadon reminds me of London, with the tall town houses and general built-upness of it all.
This should really help round out our kind of bad coverage. Citizen Snips gets Ice Punch and Thunder Punch, and April May replaces Rock Smash with Fire Punch. He teaches the three elemental punch moves, and we want one of each. First of all, we need to talk to a very useful man in the Pokémon Centre. We’re back and today it’s Celadon time! There is a lot to get through here so let’s just get on with it.
