In my heart, you're a champion at the end of that last run. I hope some day to see a redux of this and see you succeed like you deserve! Great video~ As a note regarding Captivate, it also requires Cow to be male. This strat is completely pointless if Cow were female this run instead. So I agree Captivate is very useful in a sense, but also too dependent on a factor you can't control either, that being the gender of the Pokemon you first encounter. and at 50/50 gender ratio, it's a literal coin flip, also barring in mind everything else prior to Cynthia goes the exact same way without a hitch. Overall, it's probably the toughest run out there to pull off.
