Should I be impressed at myself or mad at the game? I feel like it's taunting me by saying: "teehee you could've beaten "The Impossible Challenge" a bajillion times by now had I let you :3" Anyway for those considering attempting Battle Factory gold print runs I'd say it's more of a challenge of persistence compared to a challenge of skill, regardless if you look at guides. For me I didn't look at any guides and made my own notes so I guess I should be proud of that. Also speaking from experience a gold run will need to have a clutch moment or two, like hitting Focus Blasts when you need to, or the opponent missing a Thunder, or not getting paralyzed when you have one turn of HP left.

You could argue that, after all the bad luck got out of the way, the string of good luck has finally arrived, but it reinforces the idea that luck is a defining component in Battle Factory. I don't care much for the other facilities, but the impression I'm getting is that it's the same for them, particularly for Battle Tower.
