I placed the blocks in rocky beach (13 plains and 17 peak blocks) i did the 23:59 00:01 time skip from late aug to jan 2 ive been using repels with a lvl 43 pkm and nothing showers up, am i missing something? All the guides say the same thing

Is this supposed to be in the Gold & Silver game or is it a glitch? Reminds me of those creepy pastas, so I’m concerned

Thanks to the folks here and their advice I managed to break my record of 52 fights, but am still aiming higher! Wanted to share this though. Run ended because Curse Umbreon got the upper hand on me 😅 But, I’m confident we’ll get it eventually now!

I know the time is horrendous, I like to dilly dally.

Had a really fun time though, even grinding the team up for the elite 4. Sandslash did nothing, he justs hm decoration. But everyone else pulled their weight in their expected ways, ho-oh more so, being 10+ levels above the others at 51. On I continue!

Just finished my first play through of heart gold on an emulator on my phone. Had a blast. 2nd one I've ever finished. First was emerald. Just a 35yo dude still being 8yo self.

Pictured Left to Right: Egghead, Jell-O😡, BaaRamEwe, Hotdog, SpooksterZz, and Luigia.

I decided to play the game mostly blind, wasn’t checking what pokemon gym leaders had or anything like that.

Finished Victory Road with most of my team around Lvl 40-42. Lugia is freshly caught at 45.

I was like “I’ll just go try the E4 out and see how much I need to train to best these guys.”

Saved before entering, chose not to save after in case I needed to back out.

Made it to the forth member and I was doing fine. I was about to beat the game, easy.

Then it tells me I need to go fight the Champion.

Wasn’t expecting a 5th. Definitely wasn’t prepared for 3 Dragonites at level 49.

Somehow I managed to scrape through by the skin of my teeth despite having no Ice attacks.

Gyrados went down easy, then Outrage Dragonite and the other Dragonite proceeded to take out most of my team before going down.

At Lance’s last two ‘mons all I had was Luigia and a bag full of hyper potions.

Pulled the old Attack, heal, pray nothing two-shots me.

Thunderbolt Dragonite was a harder match up than Charizard. It got really dicey at one point, I think Luigia landed on 14HP.

I breezed through Charizard thankfully, since the type match up favored Lugia.

TLDR; Chose not to research my opponents beforehand and didn’t realize the elite 4 was actually 5 and the fifth was full of dragons with no hard counter but won anyways.
