I'm doing it right now.
127 hours in current game time. Still haven't gotten a single gold symbol. I'm trying the Factory first because I thought it'd be easier but it's absolutely insane how many times I've lost to paralyzis, freeze, sleep, criticals and the opponent just having that one pokemon that hard counters my current team. I've made it to the gold symbol battle against Noland once and his last pokemon quick claw ice beamed my Latios when I could have won. I just lost at set 4 a few minutes ago against a Blastoise that froze my Slowking for 6 turns and hit a critical Earthquake on my Swampert before going down.
