r/PokemonHGSS

As I wait and grind for a fire stone, im trying to decide what natures and movesets would be good for Flareon. I have seen suggestions from other sites like smogon. I just want to know what anyone else has had success with.

Good morning dear Pokemon lovers ! I am a 31 years old Pokemon Heartgol enjoyer who played HGSS since the release of the game, recently decided to erase a 380+ hours save file that I mostly dedicated to the Battle Frontier, in order to prepare a forever save file.

So my plan is to make preparative playthroughs before the definitive one. That way I can gather all the starters from generations 1 to 3 (4G will be possible too, with my Pearl version).

1) The first preparative run is basically over since I just beat Red and already had my additional starters. This first was dedicated to Feraligatr, Squirtle and Mudkip.

2) Another preparative run which I'll dedicate to Meganium, Bulbasaur and Treecko.

3) The definitive, forever save file. I'll take the remaining starters (Typhlosion, Charmander and Torchic) and, of course, I'll be perfecting all the post-game content. I'll also grind the Pokewalker if I happen to find it.

But that's not only a matter of starters. There are some good items to gather through the game and I would like to transfer those in the definitive save file too.

For now I set aside :

- Starters from each run (so for this one : Feraligatr, Squirtle and Mudkip) ;

- All Pokemon from my playthourgh party ;

- All Pokemon that I learn utility moves (for example a Butterfree with Compound Eyes and Thief) ;

- Master Ball (not that needed but we never know, and since I didn't use it in the first run...) ;

- PP Up / PP Max (iirc the first one can be grinded but PP Max aren't available anywhere except the ones you find on the map) - still have to find all the PP Max in the game. They'll be useful for good Battle Frontier Pokemon in the definitive save file ;

- Exp Share

- 6 Lucky Egg

- Some HM that I can't re-buy and that I could need for a Battle Frontier Pokemon or fore another utility. Focus Punch, Water Pulse, Roar, Hail, Bullet Seed, Sunny Day*, Rain Dance, Giga Drain*, Iron Tail, Shock Wave, Sandstorm, Secret Power, Thief*, Steel Wing, Skill Swap, Overheat, Roost, Explosion, Pay Back, Rock Polish, Rock Slide, Sleep Talk, Poison Jab, Dream Eater, Grass Knot**, Trick Room.

* HMs that I had to use on this first preparative run, I'll save them on the second one

** HM that I could find with a Pick up Pokemon, without having to buy it, but it could save me some grinding

Regarding Pokedex completion, as I said I have Pearl version that I'll use to transfer all generation 4 starters into HGSS, and a Platine version in which I have some legendaries and that I'll use to transfer unavailable generation 4 Pokemon. If I'm right I'll only miss a few Soulsilver exclusives but that's fine.

So... that was a long read. Thank you if you made it to the end. Do you have any tip, any item to add to / remove from my list ? Anything to do before erasing the first preparative run ?
