Been forever since I updated this. For anyone who doesn't know the rules: I'm taking my autism to the next level and playing all 3 Hoenn games at the same time, and dupes clause applies across all 3 games. If I get a Zigzagoon in Ruby, nobody else can get a Zigzagoon.
This makes it easier to get rarer encounters (like my Skarmory in Emerald), but it also SEVERELY limits how many encounters you get. The encounter pool dries up in some areas, sometimes meaning only one game gets a new catch, and I have to make the call based on which team is struggling most.
Sapphire continues to take a pounding. Just as I started to rebuild, Archie's Sharpedo decided that I was now doing a Kanto-only Nuzlocke and ripped half my team from my party. Flannery didn't kill anyone, but only because I specifically grinded to get Machoke. Numel was also lucky, landing a Magnitude 10 while Torkoal set up Sunny Day and then getting an 8. Would have died for sure if it landed an Overheat, resist or not.
