I'm hoping to find solidarity here but I'm not sure I will. Is anyone else still super early in the game? I'm trying to keep up but my autism is getting in the way.

I need to catch every pokemon in an area before moving on and all the pokemon I own have to be at the same level as the gym leader before i face them. As well, now I feel like I have to max out EVs before I begin training a pokemon.

General personal issues getting in the way of play thread too I guess.
