Ok let me see if I have this straight
This is confusing me
Spoiler:
My birthday is 12/03/98
1. Take the day you were born, and add it to the month and the last two digits of the year.
12+3=15
98+3=101
2. Take the day you were born and multiply it by the Generation* of game you are playing.
3*3=9
3. Take the month you were born in and multiply it by the Generation* of the game you are playing, squared.
98*3=264
2642=86436 <--- what the hell? I have to divide this in half 9 times before I get something that is in Emerald. [86436/2=43218 43218/2=21609 21609/2=10804.5 10804.5/2=5402.25 5402.25/2=2701.125 2701.125/2=1350.5625 1350.5625/2=675.28125 675.28125/2=337.640625 337.640625/2=168.8203125 168.8203125≈169] I feel like I'm not supposed to have to do that.
OR
98*32=98*9=882 882/2=441 441/2=220.5 220.5≈221 <---- Still feels like I shouldn't have to divide it that many times
Am I doing something wrong on this step? I read it two different ways and got two different choices.

6. The first Pokemon found on the route that corresponds to the month you were born in.
12 <--- Route 12 isn't in Emerald, what do I do?
I'm just a huge dunce when it comes to reading rules, so all of this is confusing me too much. I'd love to do the challenge, so please help me understand
