G/S Expert's Return to Gold and Silver

Well... where to start. I started Gold Version the other day, and *very very slowly* made progress through the game, stopping just after the fourth Gym for a break.

Why should that be suprising? Well...

Considering how it took me 18 hours to get that far, when I've completely beaten the game in *25*...

Considering how my pokemon are not as high a level as they were my first time...

Considering how I once moderated this forum under the name of G/S Expert and was once the top advice giver here...

...that's horrid!

I must admit, my return to Pokemon was rather humbling, as I no longer WAS the almighty G/S Expert - trouble abounded early on, as I had a new obsession in the game.

No longer was time or the beating of trainers important to me.
Catching them ALL was! That's the real reason why it took so long, I was catching - and training - more than I had ever before!

In 18 hours I have 48 pokemon. What's my line-up of high-levels?
I've got 9 to choose from, some thought I'd never use!

Dratini Level 24
- Swift, Thunder Wave, Surf, Dragon Rage

Alakazam Level 24
- Confusion, Teleport, Disable, Psybeam

Gastly Level 23
- Hypnosis, Night Shade, Curse, Mean Look

Flaaffy Level 23
- Headbutt, Growl, Thundershock, Thunder Wave

Bayleaf Level 22
- Cut, Poisonpowder, Razor Leaf, Reflect
- Miracle Seed held.

Zubat Level 20
- Leech Life, Supersonic, Bite, Confuse Ray

Pidgeotto Level 19
- Tackle, Sand Attack, Gust, Quick Attack

Geodude Level 18
- Tackle, Defence Curl, Rock Throw, Magnitude
- Hard Stone held.

'Iaijutsu' Scyther Level 18
- Quick Attack, Rock Smash, False Swipe, Pursuit

I've also got Sudowoodo, but I haven't used him. I'm more interested in Geodude's evolutions.
And yes, Zubat is one of my mains, I've used him for a long time. Why? That Crobat will be mine!

I just started over Gold and, though I have only played for 3 hours now, I have a level 18 Quilava and a level 15 Rattata (sp?) and since I have not played in...what, a year?...anyway, I think I am playing pretty good, but 18 hours :wigout: thats just scary man

Hey. You try training a level 2 Zubat with only Leech life up to combat level in an less than an hour. It ain't easy!

Same with the Gastly, you've gotta find non-normals to attack, ones weak enough to beat.

And do you have any idea how hard it was to get the money for the Dratini?!
