Yeah this is definitely gonna take longer than emerald lmao. Spent about 50 hours in this section and what feels like most of that was spent just looking for heracross. Emerald already had badge 5 at this point. Anyways done with section 4, onto section 5!

Forgot to post this the other day but badge 3 is done! Another pretty quick section thanks to wild audino. Seems like this will move pretty quickly compared to emerald (until the post game...)

Badge 2 is finally done! This section was super short, I probably could've finished it in a few days but I took a pretty big break.

Shiny audino on the shinkansen!! Found this while grinding on my white 2 professor oak challenge after only 5485 encounters! Super happy I found a shiny while I'm in Japan

PlayerAAAA @playeraaaa.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

First badge done in my White 2 professor oak challenge! Took about as long as the first badge did in emerald but with significantly less pokemon thanks to gen 5's exp mechanics.

Finally after like 10 days trapped in the sewers (new mega shiny spoilers)

I did it! All Gold Symbols in Pokemon Emerald! 3rd Trainer Card star and Starf Berry received too. Emerald's Battle Frontier was super fun (aside from the Battle Palace) and building my own teams from scratch was really rewarding. Definitely recommend it to any gen 3 fans who haven't tried it.

The Battle Pike is already done! I didn't have to make a whole new team for this one plus the first few rounds were especially easy. Super nervous about the Battle Factory though, I'm expecting it to be rough

It's been a while but I'm back to clearing the emerald battle frontier

After like a month and a half of pretty consistent grinding I finally completed the national dex in gen 3! This was honestly a really fun challenge. People often criticize the fact that you need so many games to complete the national dex in this gen but that's kinda what I like about it. (1/5)
