I recently did the "Professor Oak Challenge" for this one and had lots of fun.

That seems like it could be a pretty fun challenge. How long did it take you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only about a week! There's a few spots where it's a grind but you can use fast-forward, thankfully.

I see. How much is that in hours played? It's a bit difficult to judge without knowing how much spare time you have.

My save file says 72 hours but that's with 6x fast-forward speed so ~12 hrs real time.

Cool! I'm doing the challenge now as well, it's fun so far. Seems like it might be a bit on the grindy side, but that's alright.

EDIT: Not loving the Pidgeot/Primeape combo before Brock, grinding in Viridian isn't super fun. May have to reconsider

Yeah haha, that’s when it first starts to drag. Fast forward and turbo A button grinding are your friend. I did it while listening to podcasts, I find that sort of thing relaxing but it’s definitely not for everyone.

Funnily enough, I did the same thing. Podcasts and grind. Closing in on the last levels of Pidgeotto now, let's see what happens after Brock.

That brings me so many memories... "WOW! HE FOLLOWS YOU! JUST LIKE ASH'S PIKACHU! PIKA PIKA!"

Professor Oak Challenge

This list is missing a lot of mons! Where's Pikablu? MewThree? Yoshi? Or even Mew, there's one under the truck! Just joking.
