rules for my Genlocke, Crystal section

1. All Pokémon must be nicknamed.
2. If a Pokémon is defeated in battle it may not be used for the rest of the game.
   1. Losing a battle is game over.
3. Only the first wild Pokémon encountered in an area may be captured and used.
   1. Gift clause: Gift Pokémon do not count as an encounter.
   2. Dupes clause: If an encounter is a Pokémon of a species that was already captured, it does not count.
   3. Intentionally abusing 3.2 to control what mons you get is cheesy and therefore impermissible as a vegan.
   4. Girl’s Club: ♂️ Pokémon don’t count either. (It is permissible to soft reset for a ♀️ gift/static Pokémon.)
   5. Shinies can always be caught and used.
   6. Wild Pokémon encountered before it is possible to catch any Pokémon do not count as your first encounter in an area.
4. The Starter Pokémon must be chosen randomly based on the last digit of the Trainer ID: 1-3 = leftmost, 4-6 = center, 7-9 = rightmost, 0 = free choice.
5. (Generationlocke:) The surviving members of each Hall of Fame team are bred to create eggs. These eggs are transferred to the next game and hatched in that game.
   1. The champion Pokémon may optionally have moves deleted first (to avoid silliness like starting the game with Surf), but may not be taught new moves that will be passed down to the baby Pokémon.
   2. When applicable, Incense may be used or not used at the player's preference.
   3. The legacy Pokémon do not have to be used, but can be.
   4. Level caps:
      1. Pokémon that exceed the level of the next Gym Leader's ace Pokémon as of the start of the battle cannot be used in trainer battles.
      2. The Elite Four may not be entered with Pokémon whose level exceeds that of the final Elite Four member's ace.
      3. It is permissible to use Rare Candies before battling the Champion as long as no Pokémon exceed the level of the Champion's ace.
   5. Set Mode must be used.

While doing a bit of leveling before facing Pryce, Alligator evolved! At that point, I went ahead to take on Pryce. Judoka took out the seals, and Alligator Surfed over Piloswine and landed on victory.

After a trip up the Lighthouse in Olivine, and then to Cianwood and back to bring medicine to Jasmine's Amphy. I do some leveling, and Bat evolves! After a while, I get my team to level 35 and Judoka ends up defeating Jasmine by herself. When I leave the gym, Professor Elm calls about something weird going on on the radio.

I check out the radio tower in Goldenrod. It's full of Team Rocket! I fight my way up, and discover the director has been kidnapped and replaced with a Team Rocket Executive. Apparently the real one is in an underground warehouse. I run into Silver there, where he wants to take down Team Rocket, but first he challenges me, and loses again. After which, he runs off, seemingly to have a serious think about if he should be less of a jerk. I fight a bunch of Team Rocket and rescue the Director, who gives me the Card Key and asks me to stop the remainder of the Team Rocket members in the tower This is pretty straightforward, and the Director ends up giving me the Clear Bell afterwards.
