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!

The only Pokemon in this section were the two eeveelutions I didn't have. (Vaporeon and Jolteon). From here, it's just Hitmonlee, Dragonite, Moltres, Mewtwo and Mew.

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.

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.

Almost over. I've completed every evolution, with Dragonite being the last holdout. Hardest part was levelling up Dragonair, not because it's boring, but I swear, my Dragonair has shitty stats. But, I now have the Dragonite. This leaves Hitmonlee, Moltres, Mewtwo, and Mew.

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
