I have two questions. The first is for any of those familiar with what this entire world is "based" on, so to speak: a game series.
Taking the time to travel through Kanto has brought me to the realization that many things are different from what I remember in actually playing what amounted to a children's RPG. Maybe it has something to do with there being different interpretations of it across different universes. It's strange to think how normal discussing something like that is, anymore.
My question is, if you are familiar with the games I'm referring to, what exactly do you recall as being different in comparison to the world we're all now forced to live in? And I mean beyond there being new Pokemon; that much has already been established. In my experience, the cities in Kanto for example- as well as their gym leaders- are the same, but the routes taken to get to them seem different here. It's entirely possible that I just chose a different path unintentionally, given the fact that traveling in real life is different from moving in a video game.
Having the opportunity to face Elite teams formed by these gym leaders is also something new, it seems.
[This translates into the fact that Nagi had intended to do the gyms in order (in painstaking, 6 100-level Pokemon to the face, order), but the way traveling went sortof threw a wrench into those plans.]
And my second question.
Assuming you do not have any ground types on hand, what Pokemon would you use as alternatives to battle Lieutenant Surge?

I'm sorry I didn't realize it was something you had personal experience with the thought of it just frightened me and I asked without thinking, I'm very sorry.
No one mentioned anything so cataclysmic. Neither the attempted takeover or the
mutations.
[Why does everything lead back to humans turning into monsters...]

[Just another day in Johto, tbh.]
Like I said, it isn't as if those things happen constantly. Other than those incidences, things are peaceful.
[Boring, but peaceful nonetheless.]

They still seem at least noteworthy.
But peace otherwise is beyond reassuring, of course. Would you recommend then hiding out once October shows up?

Thank you for letting me know either way. I'd rather be able to prepare than not.
