[quote=@Feisty-Pants] Together at once, neat! Will all Gym Battles commencement that way? And is there any chance of procuring TMs and Evo stones earlier than usual? [/quote] I don't know what your hurry is to reach end game when the game just started. You do know that Ninetales won't learn the same skills that Vulpix does at her endgame level, right (especially if she evolves early)? Because Vulpix at end game has the best skills that carry over to Ninetales. In the game, Celadon is the first place for buying evo stones and most of the TMs. There is a move tutor in Viridian City but a Pokemon has to have cut to get him down. And then he only teaches Dream Eater which would benefit the ghost pokemon. As for the gym battles, more than likely.
