Now, I was only really catching things I knew I’d use, (and the Legendary ones for the fun/challenge of it) so at the end of the game I only had 55 caught. Oak only gives you the National Pokédex if you have caught 100 or more! I didn’t realise there was a bit more to the adventure after you’d become Pokémon Champion, like that one of the Legendary Beasts from Gold/Silver appears and roams the lands, loads more Pokémon from Gold and Silver become available to catch and that you can go back and re-battle the Elite 4 and they’ll have different and higher level Pokémon.
I really can’t be bothered to go back and catch things and evolve them, so I’ve started on Emerald instead. I’ve never played this version before, so most of the Pokémon will be a mystery to me but I’m going to try to catch everything I see and evolve everything I can. I’ll learn the hard way – only dipping into guides when I’ve got 6 or 7 badges so not to spoil the plot. Wait, there’s a plot in Pokémon? You know what I mean.
