Section 4 of FireRed Oak Challenge complete! 15 new pokemon for 117 total before badge 4 from Blaine. Short-ish section, most catches were from Cinnabar and the Power Plant Omanyte was the only level up that required some grinding, but wasn’t bad at all.

Section 3 of FireRed Professor Oak Challenge complete! 52 new Pokemon and 103 total before badge 3 from Koga! Very big section but surprisingly few Pokemon that need to evolve, the last 2 were Dragonite and Rhydon, since their evolution levels are so high.

Hard at work on FR Professor Oak this weekend. Only 10 Pokemon left of the 50 or so in section 3. Got the difficult safari catches done, current biggest obstacles are evolving Dratini and catching the 1% Grimer in Celadon

Hey guys I just want to apologize to Dodrio completely of my own accord. No one is forcing me to do this and no one needs to call for help :) Dodrio is cool and awesome and it makes perfect sense to know tri attack, Dodrio would never break into my house and threaten me for posting this :)

Tri Attack is such a bizarre move, dude. Like, it’s 3 energy beams, and it can cause one of 3 statuses, that’s fine. But then they gave it to any Pokemon that have a 3 in 1 design. It makes sense for Magneton but what about Dodrio says “yeah this guy can use elemental magic to burn or paralyze you

Section 2 of the FireRed Oak Challenge complete! 51 total Pokemon before Misty! Overall not a bad section. Stealing the extra moon stones was the only grindy bit, but all the new tools like running shoes, bike, and vs seeker make leveling way easier.

Then on my way out of Mt Moon I encountered another clefairy, so I used thief just to check and I got another one

…so guess who now has 5 moon stones before Misty?

Part 2 of the FR oak challenge has an interesting side quest. There’s 4 pokemon this section that evolve via moon stone, but only 2 to pick up. But since wild clefairy can hold moon stones 5% of the time, you need to run around until you’re able to steal the other 2.

"Full odds is better because it makes shiny pokemon more rare"

oh yeah? well shiny charm makes regular pokemon more rare, and I've caught thousands of those, so slow your roll, kid

Progress at end of Day 1 for FR Oak Challenge. Got the bugs and fearow evolved, currently focusing on Pidgeot since that’ll be the hardest one this section

Starting my Oak Challenge! Here’s the 8 catches before Brock, shouldn’t be too hard to get the other 11 in this section, right?
