Okay, I thought I'd posted an update the other day, but apparently I did not. I bypassed most of Hearthome, though I did demolish Brennus, who was being a jerk by showing up to mess with me out of nowhere. The only thing I struggled with was his Roselia, since my team had nothing that could do any reasonable damage...but he also couldn't do much to me, since it was still a Roselia. From there, I got through to route 209 and caught a level 16 Bonsly (named Woody), which quickly evolved into Sudowoodo. Soon after that, Stephen and Sylvester evolved into Haunter and Graveler, respectively, and since I already needed to trade a spare Bonsly over to my Diamond game, I wound up trading those two to evolve into Alakazam and Golem.
Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier.
