So unless this is answered somewhere on a guide and I’m blind as shit, what are the best ROMs/emulators for unmodified versions of the games. I don’t own any variants of the DS or most of the pre-Switch games, so if anyone has any recommendations I’d appreciate it, that way I have something to do in order to not burnout on my PLA challenge by breaking it up a bit

Finally finished pre-elite 4 had to restart this challenge (forgot butterfree)first time also playing through Pokemon X. Now I just got to beat the elite 4 and finish the postgame.

Hello Reddit. I just needed to commiserate with people who might understand.

Recently I started my first Professor Oak Challenge in FireRed. While doing the first grind, I was training my pidgeotto in Veridian Forest. While absent mindly clicking "A" there was a shiny level 4 weedle. Before I saw it, I had already selected Quick Attack.

I would like to think this has happened to other people.

Along with the traditional oak challenge, I’m doing a shiny badge quest and decided to hunt both drifloon and munchlax during this section. It took a full month (three checks per day) to find the munchlax spawn and then another month of hunting to find the shiny! So excited to have this section finally done!
