A lot more Emerald today. I've gotten all the pokemon I can up to this point, now it's just prepping for the first gym. Not super worried thanks to the power of Shroomish but it's still a good idea to grind up as much as I can. I don't know how to unencrypt my save file so I can't put rare candies onto it, but I'm very used to grinding and unlike that Professor's Oak challenge this is not a very long grind. Really only need to prep Shroomish too, though having someone else neutral to rock ready as backup is a good idea too.
