    7:52. I don't doubt you remember this happening since memory is dumb sometimes and doesn't work the way you want it, but Pokémon you caught yourself can't disobey you. A Pokémon will disobey only if they're traded. The games don't make this distinction when describing how the badges function, though, so they make it seem like "Hey this Pokémon will never listen 'cause you suck! Get more badges!" Again, I don't doubt you remember this happening, memories tend to be weird. I swear I remember seeing an IV checker in Leaf Green despite several websites (and my own searching) saying otherwise. I just want to make a note of this as it's a common misconception, and misinformation is something I don't want spread, especially with one of my favorite franchises.

Yeah, you could go under the bike path and I didn't even try pushing against it. That was such a time sink

For some reason I read "here" as "somewhere around here" and started looking _all over the Hoenn seas._ Eventually I gave up and looked up a walkthrough.

    I had a very similar thing happen in Pearl version actually- it was one of my first video games and I ended up basically taking the save file from my dad. He had gotten to Veilstone City and I don’t really know how I got ahold of the file, but I did not understand that I was supposed to LEAVE Veilstone City. I spent many hours simply exploring the two routes connected to Veilstone and hanging out in the game corner because the music was cool. The Prinplup I had eventually evolved into Empoleon before I ever got to Pastoria City. I ended up dropping the save once I realized how confused I was as I had no clue what to do after that discovery and one later saves I had a similar problem- except this time it was finding Oreburgh City 😭. I only just beat the game for the first time two years ago and I’m very happy I finally did because it was fun to use some of my old childhood favorites on that team :D (For those interested it was Empoleon, Luxray, Crobat, Rapidash, Girafarig, and Palkia)
