>>32778578Well, the Pearl version I just bought keeps freezing on me. Guess I'll do Platinum instead.
Such a contrast to White. In White, I only got 3 Pokémon before the first badge. I have 6 already in Platinum, and will get 4 more chances before the gym. Anyway, I'm still in Jubilife, and just finished grinding for the rival battle. Should be pretty easy. Starly vs Starly, and Psyduck to douse Chimchar.
Rules:
>Release any fainted Pokémon>Only catch the first Pokémon on each route>I am actually allowing Gift Pokémon for once, but with the exception of my starter, they count as that area's encounter>Level cap (currently 14)>Set Battle Style>No Items in Battle>Shiny Pokémon are trophies and may not be used>No Legendaries
