Over the past view weeks I've been working on my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, and I'm almost done with Gen 1, probably my second favorite generation. I'm almost finished with FireRed, having beaten the Elite Four and most of the Sevii Islands postgame. The fast-forward feature has been a great help. The only Generation 1-specific Pokemon officially available in FireRed left for me to catch is Mewtwo. Here's a visual view of my progress so far:

I've captured every Pokemon available in the wild in FireRed, save Mewtwo. Through breeding, I was able to get multiple Eevees and another Kabuto for the Eeveelutions and Kabutops. I very briefly started up a few playthroughs of Leafgreen to get the other starter Pokemon, and was able to trade and subsequently breed them with Ditto to get each evolution.

The only Pokemon I'm missing are those exclusive to Leafgreen and the choose-one-of-two-options Pokemon. This leaves me needing:

• Sandrew and Sandslash
• Vulpix and Ninetales
• Bellsprout, Weepinbell, Victreebell
• Slowpoke and Slowbro
• Hitmanlee (I chose Hitmonchan in the Dojo)
• Staryu and Starmie
• Magmar
• Pinsir
• Omanyte and Omastar (I chose Kabuto)

I really don't want to play the same generation again just to mop up the scraps. Luckily, all of these Pokemon are pretty readily available in future games, and while I want to catch them in the game they originally appeared, I don't have infinite time or patience to play the whole game multiple times, especially so close together.

Pokemon Caught: 133/1084 (including region alternate forms)

Total time played: 22 hours
