Back in MY day...
Was browsing thru youtube videos the other day and discovered something called Professor Oak's challenge, which is basically completing as much of the dex as possible before each gym on one version. The youtuber was focusing on 2nd gen (apparently one of the most difficult games for this challenge) so I decided to get VC Gold and start. Gen 2 were my first video games, so I wanted to see what level of challenge this would bring.
I chose Chikorita in order to breed/trade to the other VC versions because I'd like a complete dex once this challenge is done, although the recommended starter is Totodile.
I named my character Oak, and set off from New Bark. Went to Mr. Pokemon's, battled my rival, and then received my first 5 pokeballs. I went to the mart and purchased as many more as I could, and began catching all pokemon available before taking on Falkner. After about an hour and a half and resetting the clock for time exclusives, I was able to catch Sentret, Pidgey, Spearow, Geodude, Jigglypuff, Caterpie, 2 Bellsprout (1 traded for Onix), Rattata, Spinarak, Hoothoot, Dunsparce, Zubat, Gastly, and Unown.
I've been toggling between fighting Gastly and Unown wheras they're the best and most consistent sources of experience, and have been able to fully evolve Caterpie, Sentret, and Spearow. Hoothoot is 4 levels away from evolving as well.
This challenge is EXTREMELY grind heavy, but paid off when I found a shiny Gastly.
Hoping to have all of my pokemon evolved and move onto the next round of captures by the end of this week, but we'll see what happens.
