I had more problems with leveling the egg you get from route 18 (larvesta) and way earlier i also didn't like the Vanillite line. Both of those have a pretty bad movepool combined with pretty below average stats while being pretty high level evolutions. Klink line is also a good shoutout for that fact actually.

      I know Gen 3 is tedious as fuck because you need all 5 of the games since they reworked the stat system and don’t connect to Gen 1 or 2, but at least Hooh and Lugia are treated as mythicals because you could only get them from events or from the side games Collisseum and XD.

    I just realized how easy it is in theory to complete the National Dex in D/P
    With a SINGLE copy of pearl, he caught 357 / 493 Pokemon in Gen 4, That's already nearly 3/4 of the way there, All he needs are the Diamond exclusives (20) and using a mix of Gen 3 and the Gen 1 remakes, You could (IN THEORY) complete the National Dex by yourself, All you need is **NOTE: PRICES ARE ROUGH ESTIMATES FROM eBay**
    1 Nintendo 2DS with Pokemon Bank ($60)
    1 Nintendo Gamecube ($55)
    1 Nintendo Gamecube Gameboy Player ($50)
    1 Nintendo GameCube-Gameboy Link Cable ($10)
    1 Copy of Pokemon Diamond ($20)
    1 Copy of Pokemon Pearl ($20)
    1 Copy of Pokemon Ruby ($15)
    1 Copy of Pokemon Sapphire ($15)
    1 Copy of Pokemon Leaf Green ($25)
    1 Copy of Pokemon Colosseum ($30)
    1 Copy of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness ($40)
    AND 1 Copy of the Pokemon Colosseum bonus disk ($40)
    For a grand total of: $380 US (plus shipping+handling, taxes, etc.), you too could own every pokemon from up until Generation 4.

      Two problems, 2DS doesn't have a GBA slot for PalPark or the other features requiring Dual Slot functionality.
      You also listed the GameBoy Player for the Gamecube, which isn't necessary and you instead need a GBA or possibly a DS (depending on the kind of Link Cable you find) to be able to transfer the GC exclusive Pokemon to the core games.

    You should try combining the Professor Oak challenge with a Nuzlock challenge. The rules could be something like this:
    1) Catch the first encountered Pokémon per route.
    2) Must name every caught Pokémon.
    3) Must go to every accessible route to catch a Pokémon before challenging the next gym.
    4)Every caught Pokémon must be evolved before challenging the next gym.
    5)If a Pokémon faints it can no longer be used.
    This is just an idea, and I’m sure the rule set could be refined. It would be an interesting to see if a run like this could be done.
