So with Platinum done yesterday and having today off, I got decently through the early part of Heart Gold. Very difficult since there are few available Pokemon for me in the early game by now. But the main issue was I don't use pokemon stronger than the gym leader's so I had to actually skip trainers constantly to keep my starter and bellsprout under the level limits. Bellsprout is gone now though and I got an eevee. Since I'm playing this on an emulator, time only passes when I am playing. So I have a small window of time to make an Umbreon. What this means is, I am pedaling my ass off trying to spike my friendship before the sun rises. If I had time, it wouldn't evolve till much later so it can use bite. Pursuit will have to be enough for now. I also am going to go back to defeat those other trainers and level up the rest of this team, except for the ditto probably. but I haven't used headbutt and there are tons of encounters I haven't had yet so this team is really loose in composition at the moment.
