It's VGM Wednesday, so let's get into some Pokémon music.

Islands 4 and 5 of the Sevii Islands in Pokémon FireRed / LeafGreen has a new remix of the Azalea Town music from Go Ichinose. It's very fun. https://musiccloud.io/KYqto

In version of Pokémon: LeafGreen and FireRed, Deoxys was obtainable if you went to a special, NIntendo sponsored event and get an AuroraTicket. But, that game came out 20 years ago...so, folks playing it now, have no access to this on a GBA.

However, when you play the Nintendo Switch version, the game gives you an AuroraTicket when you enter the Hall of Fame post-Elite Four by default.

Meaning? I got myself a Deoxys over the weekend!

Woo hoo! Good show, Pinsir.

I just checked. I have put 80 hours so far into Pokémon LeafGreen on my Switch. For comparison, I also put 85 hours into Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Interesting.

I did it. I beat Horus and the Elite Four, finally! I was able to defeat the Elite Four on my second attempt, after doing a little more grinding to level up my team. The average 'Mon was around Level 52 with my Pidgeot at level 62. What a heroic effort.

Now, I'm chilling on the Sevii Islands. I'm looking for some kind of gemstone to help some machines get up and running. But that Team Rocket just doesn't know how to let it quit!

This plot wasn't in the original game, so this is will be fun. Also, I got my National Dex and some non-Gen 1 Pokémon have been showing up as I've been traveling.

I also need to find Mewtwo at some point...but that will come after I finish my Sevii Island journey.

I'm sorry, Erik. She's not coming...

The worst part of any Pokémon game, for me, has been grinding to level up.

And since I am terrible at spreading that experience out as I type match pretty closely, I'm now heading into the Elite Four underleveled.

Oof.

Got to go back to Victory Road and level up my team so I can actually get a few Ws under my belt as I head into the Elite Four. All my 'Mons are around Level 46-47 at the moment.

Finished all the gyms and caught Zapdos. I now have all three of the Legendary Birds of Kanto.

Now time to head to the Elite Four. Except, I definitely need to beef up my team. My team is comprised of mostly level 45-47 Pokémon. They need to be stronger or they are going to get decimated against the Elite Four.

So, maybe I'll find some folks who want rematches and fly around Kanto doing that to beef up my team.

Giovanni after I one shot every single member of his party without taking any damage.

Is he being sarcastic?
