the 4 month road to a full fruit dex

started this as a little side goal and it ate my whole year. the plan looked simple on paper: own and max every fruit in the game. in practice that meant farming beli for the ones i could just buy, then camping the fruit dealer and server hopping for the rare spawns i couldnt. dragon and leopard were the walls everyone warns you about, just days of pure waiting.

awakenings added a second lap, because a maxed fruit isnt really done until its awakening is unlocked through raids. i kept a spreadsheet (yes, really) tracking mastery, awakening status, and whether i still needed the physical fruit for the dex. two grinds running in parallel for months.

the day i logged the last one i just sat in third sea for a while. no badge, no fireworks, but the list was finally complete, and for a completion guy thats the whole reward. tip if youre chasing this: do your mastery grinding WHILE you wait on spawns, dont treat them as two separate jobs. youll save literal weeks.
