More Emerald, as you might expect. It turns out I'm a dingus and the program I'm using to play Emerald stores saves in a seperate folder. So I have no idea what the fucking save file in the roms folder is, but I at least have access to save editing now, which basically just means infinite rare candies and early name rater access (not that it takes long to get to the name rater). Removing the grind has taken me all the way to Brawley, who I'm ready to fight right now. Just need to get my Taillow poisoned. Still not sure how I'll handle Wattson but I'm feeling more confident. Idealy I get a Roselia or Oddish to help. I might be lenient with myself because this is my first serious nuzlocke attempt but idk what I'm gonna do. Probably just allow one or two healing items, nothing huge.

Edit: Ok, for some fucking reason you can't get Roselia in Emerald, so I guess Oddish (or rather Gloom because it can evolve before Wattson) and Breloom are my (potential) options. Roselia gets Leech Seed while Oddish doesn't which is why I would have preferred that.
