Today was a holiday so I'm glad I just got to rest and relax for today. I didn't really do anything big aside from just playing Pokémon Alpha Sapphire and continuing it. I really wanted to get the main story done today and beat the Hoenn Elite Four. I also learned that I could just cheat my playthrough and spent the early evening just cheating the stats of my Pokémon and catching Pokémon I wouldn't normally have anyway. I was able to make it to the Elite Four and absolutely destroyed most of them, but I had a bit of a hard time at Steven's part but I was able to finish the story.

At the end, though, I felt guilty that I had just cheated and, even though I didn't use massively-overpowered team of legendaries, I didn't feel like my win was earned. So I restored my save file to before I had cheated and then continued the playthrough normally.
