who here plays pokemon on their computers?

[Mac]

I played Gens 1 through 3 recently on emulators and they worked out fine and I enjoyed it, but I do enjoy playing on my DS more. I have Desmume for 4 and 5 but I don't really use it too often myself.

How did you get a gba emulator on your PSP? I have one and want to be able to play ROM hacks on a handheld since I can't carry my laptop everywhere.

But what hardware do you use? Also, how do you get your ROM hacks on there to play?

I play on emulators all the gen games except for the ones on DS. I want to know how I can play the Rom Hacks on my DS or on my PSP. I see a lot of people were saying they play the roms on their PSP so I was wondering if yall could tell me how?

I use gpSPhone on my iPod, and RARELY, VBA on my PC.

[HaxingBH]

i do own a gba and a nds but i recently started a nuzlocke challenge and let's plays on youtube. so i do play on an emulator

[YungKnowledge]

I currently playing Fire Red, Pokemon Trading Card, Leaf Green, Yellow and Gold. But since I bought Soul Silver, and borrowed Black from a friend the emulator games have been taking a back sit.

[LightOfTruth]

Best to use a emulator on a laptop for older games, Plus you have lots of hacks of these games and you can enter cheat codes easier. Also speed-up is good for GB pokemon games :D

[FireMonkey]

I want to play NO$GBA but i can't seem to get the save file right i always end up not having any save file after i shutdown my pc. i followed tutorials but i seem to not save any file for pokemon white version. so sad. -.-

[Freako]

Constantly, but every other time I use my PSP but I recently bought some flash carts so I could start playing rom hacks on my actual Game Boy. Nothing beats that!

I play Pokemon on my computer, visual boy advance emulator is best for it.

[Tru Eagle]

I'm holding a controller, but I play on an emulator so it feels about the same as a console for me haha.

[Zoeythedemon]

I play pokemon on my computer and the emulator works just fine with me.i really enjoy it a lot though.

[IPsychoEnigmaI]

I do love playing gen1-3 on an emulator as its a great way to play the older games that you may have never played, the speed up button helps too

The emulators for the GBA games are alot better than any of the DS emulators I have tried and I still think that you cant beat holding the console in your hands and taking it everywhere.

[Olli97]

Whenever I feel the need to playing a Pokémon game, doing it through roms and emulators is pretty much what I've consulted to doing, ever since I made the biggest mistake of my life a few years ago by giving away my oh so once beloved Gameboy Advance SP together with my collection of Gameboy Colour and Gameboy Advance games. That was a decisions I've really dreaded, though if I hadn't done that, I may never even have joined the community.

Anyways, yes, I do play Pokémon on my computer.

I play the Gameboy games (GB, GBC, GBA) emulated on VBA, but I play DS games on a real DS because it lags too much. I also use TGBDual for trading (Alakazam, Gengar)

[PersianTrainer]

When I'm at home I play on emulator (VBA), to conserve battery, when I'm not home I take GBA along with me.

[docowocool]

I play all the different GB and GBA and GBC on VBA. I play HG and Black on DS. I play Mystery Dungeon Ranger and Diamond on Desmume. I play USA conquest on desumume.

[Suthi1]

I haven't got a DS/GBA but I have played on them, it is MUCH more enjoyable imo but I only play on emulators

[ZetaZaku]

I only played the 3rd Gen games on emulators, as I only have Ruby. But yeah, nothing beats the real deal.

[Haseyo]

I only use an emulator for recording purposes. Not that I feel any "shame" in it, I just always buy Pokemon games so might as well not have to worry about frames or crashing.

[PokeMMO]

You could say that I also play Pokemon on my computer but it is a different type of pokemon.

[death_note]

I used to play it online on Playr (website)

[Loonie]

Emulators are some times kind of glitchy but they are helpful in some ways..

[Cerberus87]

Gen I and II I played on my GBC, past that all on emulators because of speed button and ease of using AR codes.

I used a lot the official Dodrio Tower in the Stadium games for Gen I and II, saved a lot of time! Seems even Nintendo acknowledged grinding is boring. :D

[pinta77]

I hate playing on my computer mainly because of the setup. It's in an uncomfortable spot. But i do play on my iphone

[Tetrakeet]

If I used an emulator, it would be too tempting to abuse the save state and turbo modes. I would be able to grind levels extremely fast that way, reload state over and over until a status effect works, never miss a Pokeball catch, etc. (eliminating the chance factor of Pokemon) basically making the game too easy. I know it's a simple "well just don't do it", but I consider it a time saver more than cheating. Still, I like playing on the actual Gameboy/DS to prevent myself from being too tempted to "save time."
