I'm going to be doing a run for Pokémon: Go Play With Six Critters - Johto is Garbage Edition, a side event for the Four Job Fiesta, supporting Trans Lifeline. In it, I am given a random team that I have to use to go through the game.
I figured it'd be fun if I shared my progress through the game on Mastodon as I play. I haven't done a challenge like this before, so it's really exciting!

This is the team I have to work with:
Starter: Totodile
Water HM Chauffeur: Poliwag
New Bark to Union Cave: Pidgey
Azalea to Goldenrod: [Slowbro/Exeggcute]
Pokemon obtained before getting Surf: [Koffing/Magmar]
Post obtaining Surf: Jynx
Kanto Post-Game 7th Pokemon: Kangaskhan
This team puts me in a bit of a dilemma. The options in brackets exist so I can choose any version, but whatever I choose, I lose something.
If I play GS, I can't get a Leaf Stone for Exeggcute until Kanto, so I'd have 3 water-type.
If I play Crystal, Magmar isn't found in the wild until Mt. Silver, so I either use Koffing or soft reset the Odd Egg until I get a Magby, which will come unevolved and at a much lower level.
If I play HGSS, I lose the elemental punch TMs I need for coverage.
