This picture is essentially how it went down.
Bascially, I was hanging out in Jimera0's stream last friday, and other people were talking about or attempting the battle factory. If any of you know me, you know that I am in a deep, abusive, on-and-off relationship with the battle factory. I love it and will play it for days, or I hate it and wish it would stop grinding my soul to dust, or both at the same time. So, when all the rest were doing factory runs, I really had no choice but to join in.
The factory must have missed my absence and been happy for my return, because it was surprisingly merciful. No hax, no awfulness, it almost was fun. In the fifth set, I was even blessed with the set4 heatran in my opening options, and that and a salamence carried me through that entire round.
Of course, this
is the factory we are talking about, so naturally in the set after that I had to say farewell to salamentran, and the next group of opening pokes was awful and my first opponent started with a latios. Swift and painful death followed.
Still, the fact that I got to 35 battles was incredible, far beyond any expectations I could have had.
I'd be interested to know roughly how many attempts people made at this challenge.
Yeah... I made one single attempt on this challenge. After getting to 35, I knew there was no way I could ever beat that fluke of luck.
This is the best thing. This changed my life forever when I first discovered it. It's less useful for doubles (and lvl 50 if you are feeling particularly insane) but still, so good. I've sunk so many hours into the factory. So many. 0_0
