Caught a Zubat in Granite Cave, encountered one at the same level as mine, wanted to prove mine was the superior Zubat. Used bite, brought it down to low health. Enemy Zubat used supersonic and it kept hitting the mark even after multiple turns of "broke out of its confusion!", mine kept missing every time so I was adamant that I had to out-supersonic it to death and refused to finish it off with any other move.
All team members have to be at the same level and are levelled at intervals or 2 or 5 levels each, then they are switched out/rotated. (Possibly pretty common, I think.)
I can't leave Route 110 until I have my shiny Modest Electrike.
Even though I already have a Jolly Magikarp for my team, It's in a great ball and I'm not sure about how I feel about two Pokémon in my team being in a great ball, so I'm thinking of chaining for a shiny one when I get access to new ones.
Can't use any other Water Pokémon than Gyarados, I've been trying to break this cycle for 18 years now but it always has to be on my team for at least some time during a playthrough. (With the exception of my first BW playthrough)
Like to imagine the whole playthrough as if I'm actually there, imagining and RPing out full sequences of events, and when I'm not playing I'm thinking about what I would be doing or how I'd be interacting with the characters/my Pokémon. It's fun.
Can't save where you can see NPCs on the screen, the exception is the Pokémon centre but I always have to save in the very corner where there would be less people. It's like my anxiety extends to Pokémon, too.
