Decided over the Thanksgiving holiday that I would complete my dex in my Crystal VC since I had the means (2 DS and the VC's split between the two for trading purposes). It has been an interesting but fun challenge. As it stands today, I'm at 196/250 with most of the missing Pokemon being trade evolutions, stone evolutions, and legendries. I'm trying to do this all without abusing cloning glitches or even using my other VC's for items. It's been a fun process and cathartic to just sit down and relax with an older game. Gen 2 definitely plays differently than other generations but it's slow and methodical play is rewarding when I'm not pressed to do anything. My biggest gripe is how long and tedious Friendship evolutions are. The lack of a Soothe Bell and then not having a large area to bike makes it a bit less mindless. Daisy does give a huge boost but it's also not always easy to hit that hour window so I've mostly been reliant on the Haircutting brothers in the underground.
Currently I just finished breeding my last two Tyrogue's so I can get Hitmonchan and Hitmontop for my dex. Hitmonchan will be easy but I'm not looking forward to Hitmontop. I think my plan is to use the daycare to level 19 and then use vitamins as needed. Won't be difficult but more just annoying. Also have been working on Dragonair into Dragonite, but that's a slow process as well.
While I have a living dex already, and having a full dex (though non-living) in the VC doesn't really do anything for me, it will be fun to say that my main VC games are fully complete and have a set dex.
