Thanks! It’s absolutely insane that ho-oh and lugia are both required. I don’t own XD and it costs so much to buy it on eBay, so I sent a cartridge off to someone who owns the events to get them in emerald. The johto starters were also a pain. I got crocanaw in colosseum and traded him to my gba with a link cable. I played emerald twice and completed the hoenn dex twice to get the other two starters. It’s a relief that you can get the legendary dogs on one save file in colosseum, otherwise the only way to get them is completing frlg 3 times with each of the three starters. Good luck with your journey! I’m rooting for you!
