[Update] IT IS DONE (Ni no kuni Professor oak challenge)

[Update] IT IS DONE (Ni no kuni Professor oak challenge)

A while back I posted about me starting a professor oak challenge for ni no kuni 4 months ago (can't believe its been that long). Anyways I finally completed it yestereday. Save file says it took 156 hours and 56 minutes to do (but probably a lot closer to 200 hours because of resets). The twitch clip is me showing all the familars, alchemy recipes being done, the progress report and the save files denoting segments (some of which are bit extra, but should give ball park for each). Maybe if there is enough support on both this and the vods I'll try a POC for the ds version.

Also; here is the original post about me starting the challenge:

Odds on Planet signs (and if it is impossible to use a planet drop pre-ship)

As I am stated in another post, I am doing a professor oak challenge. The current snag I am running into is that I need to try and use up all of the drops that I have to evolve everyone, the issue being that includes the 3 jumbo planetdrops I was gifted in remaster. Now, I did find a post that claimed to have ALL planet sign familiars, but it also noted that it "MAY be a little off". Another problem with it is it was made 13-11 years ago, so I am not 100% sure that it is impossible for the dlc familiars (griffy, draggle, flutterby, gold hurly, gold mite, gold drongo) to not be a planet sign, only testing it like 12 times. In addition, stuff like the initial choice between lagoon naid, shonky honker, and boggly boo may not have been tested in full (I tried it like 20+ times, with only double of sun/star being found), there is some random claiming that turbandit can be planet, and I could have SWORN I saw shrimpaler being a planet one time. If someone can help me find the approximate odds of planet signs to allow me test to see if it is truly impossible to get an evolvable planet sign, or just out right say if it is impossible, that would be much appreciated.

Ni no kuni Professor Oak Challenge

Did somewhat mention this in a response about challenge runs in general, but want to make separate post discussing the particulars of this. I am planning to soon truly start a Ni No Kuni professor oak challenge (say truly as I recorded a prologue section that covers from beginning to unlocking ability to fight first nightmare). For the uninitiated, the professor oak challenge is a challenge from Pokémon where you have to get all Pokémon available before beating a gym leader. Thus in this game I would need to beat and or catch all familiars before beating the next boss (former being stated for areas pre-temple). This also means that will I need to get all tier two evos I can get right after unlocking catching, and use up all 12 jumbo drops that is gifted. Post ship, I will need to get all tier 3s available with just base tokos (and eventually 2 tier 3 sprog cogs without them because of the connected story events), which would continue to be the case for the rest of the game.

I will try and stream all segments of the run as proof post prologue (will include link to my twitch below), and have vods up for preservation. Emotional support for this hellish task would be much appreciated (will note that for the most part this post is not supposed to be a "PLEASE FOLLOW AND WATCH ME", while that would be appreciated. I honestly just want a place to mention updates for this, and having people who could help me through this, even if only by reddit comments, would probably help get me through the hell that awaits).
