So, I had recently started my emerald before this challenge, and had a seedot and zigzagoon, and no badges. Even though I was going to restart, I remembered seedot only has like 1% chance of appearing in emerald, so instead I just deposited zigzagoon in the pc and trained up seedot, using my treecko for the time being. Treecko will be my hm slave, by the way, with strength, rocksmash, cut, and flash.
Taught seedot bullet seed the moment I got it, and stopped using treecko in battles since seedot is strong enough now. Easily beat Roxanne what with the type advantage and all, and my seedot evolved into nuzleaf, which is nice. I'm goin' off to the route north of Rustboro to catch my whismur. Since nuzleaf is part dark now, and whismur is normal, I can see some problems with the second gym... hopefully the game'll let me skip it and go straight to Slateport and catch electrike :S
