[you know what the network needs more of?

if you said anything other than 'smug douchebags' then you're wrong. as a bonus, this particular smug douchebag seems to have gotten himself a badge, which he seems to be examining skeptically.]

I must say, that was far less difficult than I expected it to be. Are all of the Gym Leaders so easily defeated? I will be sorely disappointed if I'm not forced to actually employ strategic thinking at least once.

[it was a bit rougher than it could have been, but that was only because Hypnosis kept failing to effect Falkner's Pokemon. his luck...]

Of course, I wouldn't bother posting to the network just to discuss my victory. [yes you would.] I would rather discuss the badges themselves-has anyone analyzed them to any extent? I've heard that they have several odd properties, which lead me to wonder if there was anything about their design that would warrant that.

Challenge all the gyms, of course. Even if they're not particularly difficult, it's apparently the thing that's done here.

The gym leader challenge?
That does seem to be what a majority of the individuals here spend their time on.
So you will be traveling throughout Johto, correct?

[ Not that she wants to know for PURPOSES. ]

Most certainly. Admittedly, it's been somewhat difficult, given that none of the Pokemon I've been capturing seem to evolve into anything you can actually ride...

[ex_cashcow493]

There are plenty of Pokemon that you can ride however.
Have you considered a Rapidash?
In fact, I know that I end up with Ponyta eggs often enough that I could pass one to you.

[ ... Even when speaking with an enemy, Saber can be polite and kind. ]

I have, actually. My traveling partner's Ponyta evolved quite recently, and it's proved quite useful. However, the fact that they take so long to evolve is somewhat... impractical.

They do not take that long in all honesty.
You just need to fight things that are more of a challenge.

[enjoymyatelier]

I suppose so. Of course, I will need something like that to get to areas where there are plenty of challenging Pokemon to fight in the first place.

[ex_cashcow493]

Why not openly challenge people in a city?
There are plenty of other trainers here.

That is also under consideration.

[If he can find someone who's been around around the same amount of time he has, anyway. He doesn't want to suffer a humiliating defeat by someone who has a full team of Level 100s.]
