road to 100% fruit dex (and why i did it twice)

people ask why i keep grinding a game i've already 'beaten' and the answer is simple — the dex isn't done till it's DONE. on my main i hit level 2550, awakened everything i main, cleared every raid, and STILL had gaps in the fruit index because a few of the rare physicals never rolled in stock. so i camped the fruit dealer, ran mirage islands, traded for the last three, and finally pushed that index to 100%. then, because apparently i've got zero respect for my own free time, i started a second file to do it all again blind — self-found only, no trading. took the better part of a season. was it efficient? absolutely not. but that's the whole point. completion isn't about efficiency, it's about the checklist reading empty. three seas, every fruit, every fighting style logged, twice over. next big update adds more and yeah, i'll be there day one recounting the list.
