🍭 Sprite Inspiration Goes to Wisgarus 🍭
► Found on a four-year-old Reddit post, I redrew it, tweaked it, and added custom colors, but credit is due where credit is due.

🍤 Solo Run Rules: 🍤
1️⃣ Only the title Pokémon can be used in battle. No switching; HM Pokémon are required.
2️⃣ No items in battle (Potions, TMs allowed outside battle).
3️⃣ No skips or exploits, including Pokedoll Marowak skip (badge boost glitch is unavoidable).
4️⃣ Double Team and Toxic TMs are banned (naturally learned versions are allowed).
5️⃣ Gameplay is at 3x speed; rankings are based on in-game time and resets.

🎵 What Is the Chansey Rule? 🎵
► The Chansey Rule is the act of choosing the highest Special stat for modern Pokémon from either Special Attack or Special Defense to be their Generation 1 Special stat.
► It is called this because Chansey's Special in Generation 1 is 105 but was split into 35 Special Attack and 105 Special Defense starting in Generation 2. I follow this method and change nothing else in regard to stats.
