Oh yeah, it was fine! I mean, well...as fine as it could be. Just a whole ton of walking. The only problem I really had was, uh...

Well, I got a Buizel egg that hatched right before I left Cherrygrove, and he doesn't really listen to me all that well. He kept trying to attack the Pokemon we ran into on the Routes.

[Which is exactly why he's not coming back out for the time being.]
