Do we need to talk to our mom or anything? We can go?
@Mikie1600 @pokemon @fediplayspokemon i think we forgot to talk to the professor again, we should go back in and do that again just to be sure
@Cahatstrophe @pokemon @fediplayspokemon No, raaaah, don't listen him! XD
@Mikie1600 @Cahatstrophe @pokemon @fediplayspokemon Actually, if we go right from the starting town, is it possible to encounter any mid-level water Pokémon early? I don't know what the speedrun community thinks about that.
@Mikie1600 @hitstun @pokemon @fediplayspokemon i'm pretty sure we need surf or a fishing rod for that. it's just water over there
@Cahatstrophe @Mikie1600 @pokemon @fediplayspokemon Oh yeah, we don't even get a fishing rod until after we beat the first gym. We can pick up the Old Rod in the Pokémon Center outside Union Cave. If we immediately use the Old Rod when we get it, and we might encounter a Poliwag.
@Mikie1600 @Cahatstrophe @pokemon @fediplayspokemon
Ah, you're right. New Bark Town's map has water on its eastern border, so you can't even get into any encounters without the Surf HM. I forget if Gold and Silver have any encounter table shenanigans that let us get into a wild Pokémon encounter here.

A mid-level water pokémon? How? I will check this.
