Platinum w/o Pokémarts

So this is a thing I'm doing, thought I'd post a little about it here even though nobody comes here

Started with Piplup, conserving my Pokéballs so I've only caught a Machop and Starly so far.

Right now I'm saved at the end of Eterna Forest with everyone at level 20. The first gym leader was a pretty rough time but so far everything else has been very easy, aside from Mars, who fucking has a Pokémon with Toxic? Holy shit?

May update eventually or never.

Oh my god what, I don't even remember doing this, I thought my Platinum version had no data on it and now I have to go check.

Edit after I checked: LMAO I STILL HAVE THE FILE. I have a Houndoom, Jolteon, Staravia, Cranidos, Prinplup, and Machamp. I guess I continued this challenge but forgot to post more updates? My bag definitely looks like I haven't been shopping the entire game, lmao. 6 balls, a single potion & some random status healers, random x items...

I DON'T REMEMBER DOING THIS THOUGH LMFAO
