Description[]
"We explore Snowpoint City and challenge the Gym Leader!"
Summary[]
Chuggaaconroy explores Snowpoint City, and eventually meets with Maylene. He then takes on the Snowpoint City Gym and battles it's leader, Candice. He then rants about the Medicham for Haunter in-game trade, as he stated the NPC as "evil" due to Haunter holding an Everstone, as first time players thought they would get a Gengar.
