Hey , y'all. Pulled a muscle in my arm the other day, and it's not quite better yet. Updates delayed until I can use both hands to type again.

Is there some kind of anti-curse? Like, if I make an oath to not start a LP, will I win the lottery or something?

In all seriousness, get well soon!

I got so lost in them as a kid even with a strategy guide map I gave up, dug out, flew to Palette Town, and surfed south from there to Cinnibar.

Wait, is that not the intended way?

The purple "illegal" seem to be for the cups which are level-restricted. In other words, PMush can't use the Rapidash line in the level 25 category because the lowest level Ponyta you can legitimately catch is like ~30 or something (and obviously Rapidash itself is out since it evolves at 40).

The black "illegal" appear to be version-exclusives which PMush can't get because Electabuzz doesn't exist in Blue.

This doesn't apply to Rapidash (or all Pokemon for that matter), but with Gen 2's Time capsule, would it be possible to have, say, a level 10 Ponyta and compete that way, or would the game detect it in any way? No Gen 2 moves or items or anything, just a baseline level 5 Ponyta

...there are a lot of species I haven't shown off yet.

Edit: Show of hands, if I was to make part 2 of the LP about styling on Round 2, should I have access to:

A) Just the Blue version stuff, but with infinite TMs
B) All RBY resources, with infinite TMs
C) Full access to everything possibly legal in Gen 1, including event Pokemon and tradebacks from Gen 2

That's going to be a C from me. Sure original RBY had some stuff, but I want to see what nonsense one can get into when including Gen 2 in the list, just for shenanigans

Oh God, six years ago. I’m old.

Right. The people who made the simulators didn’t know that, so the effect could still be applied. It was only once dataminers found proof that no, actually, it doesn’t work that way, that simulators were changed to reflect the truth.

I'm kind of surprised it took looking at the code (if I understood data mining correctly) to figure it out, considering that, with how many people like Pokemon so intensely, someone would've thought to try to brute force it earlier

Edit: VV wasn't one of those combinations determined to legitimately work?
