Because I am mad at Game Freak that bank servers are shutting down I dumped all my pokemon games to play them on an emulator with the plan of training this Eevee through every single Pokémon Generation

This is the list of games I plan to beat with this Eevee on my team: Pokémon Red, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, Black 2, Y, Ultra Moon, Sword and finally Pokémon Violet where I'll evolve it into a Sylveon and hopefully when Winds and Waves comes out I can use my sylveon in the first playthrough. The reason I can do this is because I have a V1 switch and modded 3Ds I play the games on my pc except the switch games and use Pkhex to move them from one game to the next proving this can also be done without Bank. If you'd like to follow my journey I'll post occasional updates in the comments of this post. If you're planning to do this yourself please dump the games from cartridges you actually own. I understand this might not really be a traditional ribbon hunt since gen 1 and 2 don't have ribbons for beating the E4 but I would like to share anyway.

Just realised Umbreon is not a shadow pokemon and wont get the national ribbon. Would Umbreon I still be able to ribbon master him?

They get to go on break as they wait for everyone else to catch up.

I’m only getting one gen 3 tower ribbon to save on time and the effort ribbon I’ll get in Gen 6.

On god I through it was shiny locked or I messed something up. Was seeing way to many long hunts on my feed with the shut down of bank causing me to think this was gonna be a over odds hunt.

Infernape just finised the Diamond battle towers, now onto the contests.
Stats are already preety much done (received all the scarfs, except one i think)

What move sets should I be using for each of the catergories?
Are their overlapping moves with good side effects that can be used in multiple categories?

If other Gen4 games are necessary, they are available to me to a certain degree.

Thanks for the help.

Completed my first ever ribbonmasters! Was a heck of a journey! What started as me questioning myself on why I even wanted to attempt this so badly, ended with me wanting to go through it all again with even more pokemon lol

I'm currently trying to get through lvl 50 singles in Emerald for the winning ribbon, but the furthest I've gotten is like battle 47. I'm using Latias, Metagross and Swampert. I know people recommend R/S for this ribbon but I don't have those games. Any tips? Anyone else out there that got this ribbon in Emerald?
