This is not a "baby’s first Pokémon" game. The first Gym Leader (Roark) has a Cranidos with , a Geodude with Explosion , and a full team of four. You will need to grind, use X-items, and potentially catch a specific counter (like a Turtwig with Leech Seed or a Machop from Oreburgh Gate).
Weaker Pokémon have updated stats, types, or movepools to make them viable for a challenging run. pokemon mogul platinum gba download
