>>46052167Decided to run Renegade Platinum instead of Sacred Gold seeing as SGSSv2 are coming out soon. I haven't played it yet but I can already tell it's gonna be easier than Volt White given the amount of gift 'mons in the early game.
I got a Riolu from the egg you get in the Trainer's School then ran around for ~30 minutes with speed up to grind friendship for the evolution. Optimistic about the encounter quality early on sans the Weedle. Will report back after the first gym battle.
