Congratulations. ;D
I cheated a bit with Happiness evolutions (they are a pain in Gen2; did that enough as a kid) and with Evolution Stones, but aside from that had a blast with glitchless gameplay.
Glitched stuff is great as well, but that's for another copy. 8)
Well to complete the Pokedex you have to use glitches anyway - so you might as well go all out, G/S certainly gives you the options to unlike Crystal where it's much harder. I completed Crystal earlier this year with 251 Pokedex on cartridge, which involved lots of trading between my Red and Gold cartridges to get the exclusives and performing the Celebi glitch on my gold cartridge and trading it over. But in G/S, you can simply use the Coin Case to obtain those annoying version exclusive Pokemon and sell unlimited Rare Candies to buy a load of Vitamins to evolve those Happiness evolution Pokemon faster, also use those Rare Candies to level up those Pokemon needed for the Pokedex faster, but I never use Rare Candies on my in-game team because that's boring. So the Coin Case just makes some of the tedious stuff easier and quicker. So when I'm finished this Gold file, it will probably come in at around 30 hours less then my Crystal file, because as mentioned it's much faster to do stuff in G/S, and in Crystal I did end up training my team to level 70 and did several Battle Tower runs. I'm not trying to finish the game really fast, but after countless gen II files over the years, it's interesting to see how fast I can finish everything now. Gen II is my favourite Pokemon gen easily.
Also finished a 151 Yellow run earlier this year on cartridge, so after I've finished VC Gold I might move on to VC Yellow and do the same thing. I juut love the old Pokemon games. I've only owned a 3DS for a month and all I've played is VC Gold. Will have to get into the newer Pokemon games eventually, but I'm seriously out of the loop on things - as the last newest gen Pokemon game I played was Pokemon White and I have no knowledge on the any of the new Pokemon from gen 6 and gen 7.
