I figured I’d update on what my final decisions were. I added a lot of different eggs to balance out the team, as you suggested, ezlaturbo. Sure, it was mostly because I wanted to add Experience Shares to emulate the modern day experience system, but that quickly backfired. Surprisingly, some of my new eggs did make the cut. I ended up adding Larvitar, Cyndaquil, Lapras, and a bunch of other variety. Although it can be noted that as a Dragon tamer, I have a particular bias against Fairy that drags me down. I guess it’s a form of challenge run in itself to be able to overcome one of those with a Dragon.
Funnily enough, one of the lines in game says, “I wonder how a little Jigglypuff survives a big old Salamence.” It doesn’t. Slash, Flamethrower, Fly, and other moves ensure that said Jigglypuff is a terrible example to make. I could say Clefairy is a better example as it’s tankier, but that’s besides the point I suppose.
Final main team ended up being this:
Funnily enough, two team members weren’t originally there, being my Croconaw and Delta Dratini.
I ended up with an issue that should be patched out for the sake of others. Here’s a link: In the egglocke mode I got a glitched gender swap
Anyway, I’ll lay it out right here: if in the far future a necroposter finds this thread relevant, please let them post. I think I might be able to help them out at that time. I suspect I will be involved in this game for quite some time to come, as it has brought back countless memories of generations 3-5, and of Alpha Sapphire. Insurgence is one heck of a fangame
