I wish I was kidding.
I can't remember how but I learned the duplication glitch early on in my game. My solution to being unable to defeat a gym with my starter was to duplicate it. I then moved ahead with the strongest copy and boxed the rest. The cart probably has two or three boxes full of cloned Cyndaquil stages.
The only time I added a new Pokemon was when I caught Ho-Oh. Pic related was the team I beat the E4 with.
I'd like to think my HGSS team would be what I would have trained if I was more sensible back then. From memory it was:
- Typhlosion
- Nidoking
- Fearow
- Ampharos
- Slowbro
- Victreebel
