Professor Oak's Challenge: Gens 3-5

Turns out i made yet another mistake. Turns out that by grinding a pokemon with Pickup to level 41, you can find a Shiny Stone, which evolves Roselia to Roserade. Aipom has Pickup, so i'll be at this for a while.
 
Kricketot has just evolved into Kricketune.

guys, i did something stupid. When creating a new save for my "which pokemon can beat Platinum's bosses by themselves" challenge, i accidentally saved over this Platinum file. Rather than do it all over though, i've opted to use hacking to give myself an approximation of what i had. Unfortunately though i do not know how high Budew's friendship was, but i think it was probably high enough that if i gave it the 3 Rare Candies Aipom found, it would evolve to Roselia. I wasn't planning on doing that, but fate has forced my hand; we now have a Roselia.

Machop has become Machoke. Next time we go to the pokemon center to heal, we'll contact our friend Britney in Soul Silver and do some trade evos.

We're now at the pokemon center to heal, so while we're there, we contact our friend Britney in Soul Silver to evolve Machoke into Machamp

and Kadabra into Alakazam.

Staravia has become Staraptor, and most of our remaining level evolutions aren't far off either.

Aipom just learned Double Hit and evolved to Ambipom. Course, his grind isn't done; he needs to reach level 41 to find me a shiny stone.

Psyduck has also evolved; it's now Golduck.

Ambipom has just been candied up to level 41; now the search starts for a Shiny Stone. It's only 4% with Pickup, so it's still gonna be a while.
 
We've found a Shiny Stone way earlier than i expected, and with it, we evolve Roselia into Roserade.
Roserade

116/637 obtained, nothing more in this section.

So let's look at what section we're playing next.

Ruby pre-Roxanne: 7 pokemon available
Sapphire pre-Roxanne: 7
Emerald pre-Wattson (Sara): 18
FR pre-Brock: 9
LG pre-Brock: 9
Diamond pre-Roark: 3
Pearl pre-Roark: 3
Platinum pre-Gardenia (Kelli): 32
HG pre-Falkner: 8
SS pre-Bugsy (Britney): 15
Black pre-Striaton: 11
White pre-Striaton: 11
Black 2 pre-Cheren: 21
White 2 pre-Cheren: 21

Looks like Kelli's adventures through Sinnoh will continue. I trample Roark with my level 40 Rapidash, then i head back to Jubilife, beat the Galactic grunts harassing the professor, and avoid all the trainers on the way to Floaroma. Once there, i head to the Valley Windworks to catch Shellos

And Pachirisu

And Buizel.

119/637 obtained, 29 more in this section.

We then beat up the grunt in front of the windworks and the two in Floaroma, so that we can get honey which we slather on both the trees available to us.
 
Literally the first honey tree i check turned out to be a female Combee.

The other tree unfortunately contained a combee of the inferior gender. I slather both trees with honey again, go beat up all the trainers i skipped earlier, then i head back to the windworks to catch another Buizel for later. I drive Team Galactic out of the windworks and gain access to a third honey tree, then i head up north and beat up some trainers.
 
We fight our way north to Eterna Forest, where we team up with Cheryl and find a Buneary.

I head on into Eterna, get the Explorer Kit and trade my spare Buizel for Charap the Chatot.
