unfiltered version

beware of ramblings below lol

this is my heartgold team from my most recent playthrough! it’s intended to be a “forever” save that won’t be reset over. years ago my original hg cart was stolen, so when i bought a new copy off ebay (before the prices jumped lol), i figured instead of playing through with my old team again, i’d do a slightly different team that reflected my current pokemon preferences as opposed to what 10 y/o me picked.

they were really fun to play with! this is their hall of fame debut from back in 2021 (and their condition before challenging the indigo league + names) :]

kaleidos (ho-oh) wasn’t added to my team until postgame. only then did i realize that having a legendary on your main team is actually pretty fun. plus their access to fly is handy

every so often i pick up the game again to go for another completion goal, and most recently i got the shiny leaf crowns on all of them <33

also i didn’t realize until recently that the shiny leaf mechanic wasn’t common knowledge. then again the game barely alludes to it (if at all), but here’s a serebii link about it: https://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/shinyleaf.shtml
