Alright, I should be on Showdown for the next 7 hours or so, with a break for lunch. Hopefully I can catch Orb and Broken. I'll try and be on tonight as well, just in case.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

I'm double-posting to let everyone know I'm done with the route rework. Every Pokemon can be found on at least 2 routes, the majority of them can be found on 3 or 4. I just realized that none of the Pokemon I had in my preliminary party of 6 are found on the first set of routes though, so I'll be right along with you all in figuring out how to use the available Pokemon to fill out your teams. Anyway, the full spreadsheet of route lists is HERE, and I'll post lists for the individual routes as we get to them. If you want to start looking at the first three, here they are in spoiler form. Lists include National Dex numbers and names, and are sorted by dex number.
Spoiler: Route 1 - Farms and the ferry (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Route 2 - Safari zone on the coast (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Route 3 - Ancient ruins on the plains (click to show/hide)

I already knew what I'd pick, and I'm glad to see it's still there.

Hum I realized in my second battle that i was using a level 25 vulpix ( I had built my team days ago, and i thought combat started at round 2. Sorry Bluerobin)

Anyway, me vs Urist. Urist wins thanks to recover, despite the sun.

So we need to redo our battle, right?

I was expecting to have to stall out the sun.

If I catch a pokemon that evolves at/before level 25, am I allowed to evolve it before round 2?

Yes. You could have a Butterfree, Ivysaur, or Escavalier. You can have moves that earier evolutions could learn, but only if it could have actually been done by leveling up (you could have a Butterfree with Bug Bite since Caterpie learns it at level 15, but that Butterfree wouldn't know Sleep Powder because it wasn't a Butterfree at level 12). You can assume if you take an evolved Pokemon that it would have moves it would only learn at level 1 once it evolved, like Double Edge on Escavalier. I'm going to say that if a Pokemon has a move it learns at Start or Level 1 AND later on (like Fell Stinger on Escavalier), then you can't start with it, you have to learn it later when it's naturally learned, just to keep a sort of consistency with the Egg Move rule.

Edit: Rematch with Broken ended the same way: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ou-188676510

Edit2: Huh. Apparently Conversion 2 doesn't work in Showdown. It appears to be the only move that's broken, so it shouldn't really affect anyone other than me, and I'm getting rid of it next turn so that's ok.

Me vs Rory. I win despite infavorable matching type.

With the routes, can we catch Pokemon that shouldn't exist at level 25?

No and I don't think Showdown will allow it either. I just haven't taken the couple hours that it would take to filter through all of the Pokemon and do that. It wouldn't be completely accurate either, because later on you can go back and get a Pokemon from a route you didn't travel down, and the higher level would mean you could get more evolved mons.

It does. Just tested with a level 10 Azumarill.

Oh ok, I think that's new in the past year because we ran into that issue in the first or second tournament. But yeah, it's supposed to mimic a playthrough of the game, so you're typically going to find things that have moves and evolution states appropriate to their level. The new mechanic in ORAS where you can end up catching wild Pokemon with a single egg move works out well, since that's about the best you can hope for here as well.
