I've been continuing that method I mentioned in my last journal about trading pokemon and then breeding the new ones so I can actually use them on my team. Right now, I've got 25 boxes full of pokemon (that's over 750 individual critters), 11 Level 100 shinies that I got from Twitch streamers (a couple of which, I'd be amazed if they weren't hacked... LVL100, shiny, with pokerus and perfect IV's...) and around a dozen others over LVL40... and 8 Master Balls!

All of this before I've EVER entered the third town (Motostoke)!
