For example, one commenter revealed that not only do they still need to catch another Omanyte or Kabuto, but they also still need to catch two Lileep or Anorith. Other players said that they were still stuck on Page 3 of the quest, which requires them to catch a Ditto.

Others still expressed their frustration at their inability to catch Pokemon like Aerodactyl or Cubone, which are difficult
