Hey there, I've been looking for an NA Mew code! I can offer up some of the Gen VI events - most are cloned, but they are legit event Pokemon, largely UT. Would that be something you'd be interested in? If so, I can provide you with a list of what I've got. I haven't been active outside of...

Well, that's why I said all of those criticisms were valid, haha. For me personally, I enjoyed playing FR/LG because they fixed some truly obnoxious issues that make the originals pretty much unplayable for me now. Honestly, a lot of the stuff you mentioned from previous games wasn't a big...

They did not age well, no. There were lots of glitches and errors in the games, and as many other have said, graphically they were behind even when they first came out. I am pretty old (27 now) and I was 11 when the games first were released. I can tell you that in some regards they were...

I loved the diversity of Pokémon in the region. It was fun to have older species with new twists (like the Kanto starters & their mega stones) but there were enough new Pokémon that you can play through with only new ones - that's what I always do my first playthrough. It's definitely nice...

I haven't finished it yet, but it takes me a long time to play through games. I no longer have the time to focus on one game and finish it quickly. When I do get time to play games, I don't always feel like opening Pokémon, especially since some parts of the game require grinding - not how I...

I'd prefer that in the future too, and if they include the updates that Emerald brought to Ruby/Sapphire I see no need for a third version even in remakes. However, since Emerald's storyline was a bit different (I thought it was cool to fight both Aqua and Magma in the same game!) I wouldn't be...

I usually end up getting two copies of each group of games - one to use as a main save file and the other to easily restart for challenges, etc. So I'd probably get Sapphire and then instead of getting Ruby, buy Emerald later on.

I could see those two Mega Stones being version-exclusive...

I'm starting off with Alpha Sapphire (I had Sapphire originally) and though I usually pick the fire-type as a starter, this time around I'll go with Mudkip because I have already used Blaziken and its mega in XY. Then when I pick up Ruby eventually I'll choose Treecko.

Honestly to me they're totally different types of games? Platinum was a fantastic game (and I think the best "third" game compared to other generations). HGSS I loved as well but I know partially because of how fun it was to revisit a game I had played a decade earlier. It's easier for me to...

Currently playing through FireRed right now - I should be working on some others but I always go back to Kanto :) I played Emerald fairly recently though, within the last year for sure. I'm in the Safari Zone at the moment, Kangaskhan hunting for my Pokedex and getting quite frustrated.

I agree that Gen VI was perfect for RSE remakes. The improvement from III to V, like others have said, really isn't enough. There's not much of a difference between IV and V in terms of graphics quality, so it would have been a lot like having XY remade immediately for the next gen. Am I...

I hope they at least allow for changes to hair and skin color. Clothes are one thing, but I think it should pretty much be a given from now on that players can customize their avatar to physically resemble them. I'd be very disappointed if they didn't include that.

If I'm online, I'm usually there for trading or to register people as being online for Safari purposes. I'm not a battler, I don't raise competitive Pokemon, so for me, online battling's not really fun - I decline most people. I've thought about turning off requests for Passerbys and...

My main playthroughs since Crystal have always been as the female character. Usually my main playthrough I name her the actual character name, and then for any challenges I use my own name. I do pick the male character occasionally for additional playthroughs, but I love being able to play as...
