      One thing that still blows my mind is that the gameboy advance only has one generation of Pokémon made for the system (not including the generation 1 remakes). I never really realized this until recently lol. Every other Nintendo system has multiple generations of Pokémon. I guess the gap between the gameboy advance and the Nintendo DS was shorter than I remembered.

    I did a no catch run in Shield last year and yeah, pretty frustrating that the DLC with most of the best gift Pokémon is walled off especially when you have to catch eternatus anyway but there is a bit of a loophole. If you camp on numbered routes and make high graded curry there’s a chance that wild Pokémon will come join you without having to catch them. It’s a bit like using pokepelego for Pokémon that way.

    So what I wanna do is a sort of a variation of the no catching run, where you can only get Pokémon, that have limited availability in your game, regardless of whether they are caught or gifted to you. So in Kanto e.g. you could catch one or two Snorlaxes and would end up with a Team similar to that of Red when you fight him in Gen 2. Or here in Galar you could catch the Isle of Armor Slowpoke as well as Eternatus, but on the other hand couldn't get infinite fossil pokémon. I'm not sure if this sort of challenge has a name yet though.

    I totally bought Let's Go Pikachu just to get the free Pikachu in this game, since previously I'd just bought Let's Go Eevee since that was preferred one of the pair (since Eevee is my favorite Pokémon). So I can see why you would've done that with Eevee. They do have a demo of Let's Go on the eShop - I don't know if that works for that requirement or not though.
    I didn't know you were actually forced to catch the Galarian Slowpoke to gain access to the Isle of Armor. I just caught it cause it was a new Pokémon, like I usually do.
    Also wasn't aware of the Togepi trade. Alcremie is great, but I'm sure Togekiss would've been a better Fairy type to use in the later game (like against Raihan for example, or against Leon's Dragon types, though his Dragapult had Shadow Ball to cover his Fairy weakness when I fought him). May have to keep that in mind. It might be too late in Sword (as once you're in the final tournament I don't think you can leave the Stadium except for story things like stopping Rose), but it would be helpful for Shield, although in that game I also have access to Galarian Rapidash. Plus I never use my gift Toxel anyway (except for Poké Jobs)
    I caught a Nickit early on and basically just used that (and its evolution Thievul) to fight Bede. Until the tournament, he uses an all-Psychic team, which meant that my pure dark-type Nickit/Thievul could basically OHKO his whole team with moves like Assurance, while taking no damage to him thanks to my immunity to Psychic. Since I found Bede to be a colossal jerk, I found this advantage very satisfying.

      @@Vexal50 Actually, disregard what I said about ORAS. I just realized it is a normal Box. You just get told to free up space if you fill them all up before going to where you get Latias/Latios.

    That is such a cool thing. I’m actually attempting this right now by the way. I love your channel
    Edit: i’m not doing this on RUclips. This is just for my free time so if you go on my channel looking for it, you’re not gonna find anything. just want people to know so they don’t get confused.

    Now do this without Cinderace. Maybe wonder trade every gift Pokemon you got. It would be a fun challenge.

      I'm doing something similar on my streams now, with the highlights going up on my extra channel linked in the description. Instead of wonder trading every encounter, I trade it to someone in chat
