Yeah, but that's because beating the league was the end of the plot. There's a whole other plotline going on in the Sevii Islands with Team Rocket's warehouse and Lorelei and whatnot. If you guys don't want to include it, though, I can live with that. Less work for me anyway.Originally Posted by MeLoVeGhOsTs
Incidentally, I've decided I'm going to go ahead and restart, and this time I'll just use a code that lets me encounter wild Koffing in Route 1. No glitchiness that way.

Okay, I've restarted, I repeated everything except that I didn't catch Koffing until after I had the Pokédex. I raised Koffing in Viridian Forest for a while; I was expecting to battle Metapod, who could be poisoned and couldn't attack me, but I never met one. I did meet Weedle and Kakuna, which were easy battles anyway because Weedle's only attack was Poison Sting and Kakuna couldn't attack. I even met a Pikachu and had an exciting battle with it.
While doing this, I also searched online for some good nicknames for my team, and I found a set I like. Too late for Koffing...but only as Weezing is it truly suited to its name, so I can wait until Lavender Town for that one.
When Koffing reached level 10 I tried my luck against the rival. His Pidgey went down but put up a rather decent showing, including a Sand-Attack. Then the Bulbasaur came out...and used nothing but straight Tackles. Andy never called for the Leech Seed I'd feared, and the one Sand-Attack from Pidgey didn't cause me trouble. All in all it was quite anticlimactic.
