I decided to restart my Pearl version and play through this game again. But before I could reset my Pearl save file I had to trade a lot of Pokemon and Items over to my Heart Gold since Pearl has been my "main" Gen 4 game and I kept most of my Pokemon and Items on this Pearl save. I traded everything that I wanted to keep to my Heart Gold over the last couple of days so today I was finally able to delete the old save and start my new Pearl playthrough.
I chose Turtwig as my starter and made my way towards Oreburgh City. Before reaching Oreburgh, I had to stop in Jubilife City and do a few thing there first like obtaining a Poketch for example. I also battled my rival Barry right outside of Jubilife and I won despite only having a Turtwig on my team. I skipped a few Trainers on my way to Oreburgh because I wanted to save that experience for the second member of my team that I ended up catching on Route 207 above Oreburgh City. That Pokemon was a Machop. I also decided to add the third Pokemon to my team right after catching Machop so I went to the Pokemon Center and traded myself (a Diamond exclusive) Murkrow Egg (with some Egg Moves) from my Heart Gold. With three members on my team I went back and battled all of the Trainers that I skipped so far. And now I'm about to go to the Oreburgh Mine and find Roark so I can challenge him to a battle and hopefully win my first Gym badge.
The Team:
Galapagos Lv. 12 (M)
Nature: Quirky
Moves: Tackle, Absorb and Withdraw
Khabib Lv. 9 (M)
Nature: Adamant
Moves: Low Kick, Leer and Focus Energy
Bonnie Lv. 8 (F)
Nature: Jolly
Moves: Drill Peck, Pursuit, Peck and Astonish
