I love the wishing well! That might've been how I got my Torchick.
I did the scuba safari thing once and didn't catch a single pokemon so I gave up on it. Don't think I caught anything worthwhile in the safari zone either. Oh well.
The well is pretty early too, isn't it? I think one of the cheats was 99 wishing stars, so maybe I'll do, queue up a random number generator and use that number of catches to be my starter...or whole team.
