>>58344073gardevoir is my favorite pokemon and shiny gardevoir is my favorite shiny design. I want to get a ralts in gen 3 (the earliest game with backwards compatibility and the ralts line's original location) and use them to go through all of the games, doing as much content as possible, getting all the ribbons (like for beating battle towers, contests, champions etc.), and then transferring them up through each generation. I want to have a super long big epic pokemon adventure through all the games with my favorite pokemon basically.
I could breed one but I think it will be more special from a roleplay autism point of view to find a ralts in the wild, and that also means I can catch them in a premier ball (my favorite ball) since parents passing on pokeballs wasn't added until later. I also am just grinding it out now as hard as I can because I know pokemon bank will be removed at some point and then I won't be able to transfer them from gen 3 all the way to the latest gen.
