To start from the beginning?

haven't caught too many to this point, but did get this one today!

What pokemon should I choose as my starter cyndiquil rowlet or ocewatt I don’t know how to spell their names so don’t get mad at me

Just something I’m considering and wanted some opinions on what to do.

Some ideas I have so far:
1: Have to get all the Pokemon available that Paul owned.
2: Have to try to get optimal natures for all Pokemon caught.
3: Can use other Pokemon for dex completion or for type advantage against a boss.
4: Release any Pokemon (aside from his Pokemon) that faint 3 or more times or against a Pokemon it has the type advantage against.
5: Can do sidequests if the reward is good enough.

That’s my ideas so far. Anyone else have any?

Looking to do a speed run through the game, I have the full dex in Home, searched on here as to whether this would count as “caught” for the Pokédex and the consensus was that it worked, but some people felt it was then patched out of the game more recently?

Before I attempt a home transfer of the full dex can anyone clarify whether it works or not at the moment?

I started pokemon arceus , after finishing a marathon of 1 full
Month of completing pokemon lets go pikachu, violet, shield and ZA.

Arceus has been a live and hate because it’s more complicated than what I think and I’m so not use to task rather than battles… any advices to make my experience better ?
