Yep, in heart gold i ditched chickorita for.... Geodude, or rattata. (Which i later ditched lolz and started my actual team.), i ditched it at the start at the game, the lvl six Chikorita is still in my pc as we speak. And, the cool thing is that i could never cheat in my games, and the gts never worked for me. As well as, i never had someone trade me some else. I trained all my pokemon all by wildssss lol :)
