I gotta vent a bit because my English pen pal made a big deal about how I didn't have Heracross on my Fighting monotype team. Heracross has been dead weight because even when I ran into Psychic-type Pokemon like Alakazam (weak to bug-type attacks), not only do I not have a bug-type attack...

How do you guys normally spend your Rare Candies? I used to use them for difficult gym leaders (like Gen 01 Misty years ago), but now I feel like I gotta save them for the end of the Gen 3 games to avoid burning out on grinding. In other words, I hoard my rare candies for the Elite Four. Today...

Welcome, new member! [Throws confetti]

The internet has a calculator for catch rate in Pokémon? [/Dumbfounded] [/Exaggerated for Comedy] That would be really helpful in the future. Random side note for this thread: Even though catching ineligible Pokemon is allowed for the PokeDex fodder (eg, the HM for Flash in Gen 1 and Gen 3...

I have mixed feelings about a separate thread or Discord server, but I also don't understand why keeping it all in this thread would be a bad idea. Is it just the fear of two people going back and forth for 20 posts?

Congratulations, Explorer of Time! Pokémon Sapphire Type Mastery Challenge (Part 5) Fighting Monotype I don't remember where I was last time I updated you guys, so I'll just continue from where my save file was a few days ago: I had just captured Groudon, and I was ready to defeat Gym Leader...

People used to think this type of technology would come along and perform menial jobs like sanitation, paperwork, etc. Now it's replacing creative jobs, and I find that abhorrent on its own, but now we're in an information dark age. Google keeps showing AI generated results. It's easier than...

I probably could be done with 12+ different monotype playthroughs for the Game Mastery Challenge by now, but I haven't for various reasons. There's a lot of different factors including some where I don't want to overshare on this forum (like my clinical depression). A big part of it is stamina...

Place your bets (in PokéDollars) on whether I completely my Game Master Challenge before Stenir completes all 18 of his Ultimate Run challenges! The odds are 78-1 in Stenir's favor.

I'm assuming you meant the area outside Viridian Forest. I can confirm from experience there are level 5 Pidgey in the early game, but they're very rare to come by. They're on Route 1 (just north of Pallet Town where you get your starter from Professor Oak). I'm not sure about a level 5 Rattata...

Before I reply, I'd like to re-emphasize that I am not proposing anything be done right now. I was thinking about the Citra situation, and I hit "Post reply." I have a copy of the Citra emulator because I archived the files in the "Local" and "LocalLow" folders, but I thought the creators of...

Actually, that's weird to think about, right? In 5 to 10 years, there might still not be any good 3DS emulators, and with people eventually getting nostalgic for XY or (more likely) ORAS and (U)S(U)M, will we see a decline in Gen 6 and Gen 7 playthroughs due to the "one save file" rule and...

FAIRY! TYPE! POKéMON!

I think I mentioned this before on another thread, but I bought a 2DS for if I ever need to trade-evolve a Pokemon (like Mega Alakazam or Trevenant). On that note, I later found out they gave Mega Alakazam "Trace" which is sometimes a detriment (even in single-player). I love Mega Alakazam's...

I don't expect to leave the thread long-term, but (at least, depending on what happens), I won't be doing huge updates. I had been sporadically posting huge updates (depending on what was happening IRL), but now I think it'd be best to limit myself a bit. I've played a lot of Gen 3 lately, and I...
