This round will end at 11:59:59 PM (GMT -5) on 9/21.
Lauded by many as the best Pokémon games to date, HGSS sent Pokémon trainers packing back to Johto where they faced familiar foes with new tricks up their sleeves. Remember Scyther? Now it has STAB U-turn to knock you around. Miltank? Scrappy says hello to Gastly. Most notably, HGSS brought us updated graphics and remixed music. It also introduced a few gameplay features like companion Pokémon and auto-run that many trainers hope will one day make a return. This week's challenge centers around the other gameplay aspect HGSS introduced: the Pokéathlon.

Due to emulation restrictions and the nature of this challenge, I cannot provide a save file. I advise the use of a physical cartridge due to the challenge's heavy reliance on the touch screen.
