is it just me, or all the normal gyms really hard?
Most trouble I had was with the 5th gym. Other than that, they weren't too bad for me.
I need to go backwards through Victory Road and train some more though since I've realized I'm going to need higher levels to get through the League and N.
I love the fact that in all the Pokemon games, my name is one letter too long to use, so I just use "Vee" instead and now in this game the "bad guy" is named "N". Would have been even more perfect if I had just used "V" but I had no clue that the person's name was just going to be one letter.
