  • It's finally here folks, the HGSS Professor Oak's Challenge! It's been over a year in the making, but the run and video are finally done, and I hope you enjoy. It's definitely the hardest POC I've done so far, but that doesn't mean there's harder ones ahead, believe me, we still have quite a few.

      Idea I think you make professor Oak challenge how to booklet
      You'd make money n people choose to watch your attempts on your TH-cam
      Your advice better than those pokemon guides you use to be able to buy.
      Might not have time to do professor booklet guidebook
      But if want start new project when you not doing TH-cam all the time

      Hah, I started on this challenge with the Storm Silver romhack. It involves evolving a tyranitar and a dragonite before the first gym. I stopped after the tyranitar (and had already encountered my first shiny by then). Imagine grinding a larvitar to 55 on level 11-13 mareeps and ekans'...

      @@shuckle9529 doesn't take away the fact that you encounter some pretty ridiculous pokemon before the first badge in storm silver. Like I said, you can find larvitar and dratini (among a ton of other shit you need to evolve) before the first gym. That means you have to evolve a tyranitar and dragonite and a lot more before you can even beat falkner. I think just getting past the first gym in storm silver is going to take longer than finishing the entire challenge in HGSS. For the record that savegame with my tyranitar before falkner is at 38 hours and 19 minutes ingame time. Double that to get the dragonite as well. Then you're stuck with all of the other pokemon you still need to evolve before even hitting the first gym. Yeah.

    To give you an idea of how insane that dex total is I’m gonna bring out percentages.
    In Generation IV there’s a total of 493 Pokémon. 373/493 equals roughly 75.66%
    In other words with just a single cartridge of Heartgold you can obtain a little more than three quarters of the Pokémon that existed at the time.
    If you had used the Poké walker the total would’ve been 394 or 79.92% of the Pokémon that existed at the time

    Here’s a tip (even though it will only save a few seconds at the start), pick the female character. When playing as the male character, the female shows you how to catch Pokémon, she goes into the grass once and “fights” a Pokémon before showing you again how to fight one. When playing as the female character, the male goes strait into how to catch a Pokémon instead of screwing around.
