The whole point of Red’s team is that it’s comprised of Pokemon guaranteed for the player to encounter during the story in Pokemon Yellow. Pikachu: starter Pokémon. Bulbasaur: gift in Cerulean Charmander: gift north of Cerulean Squirtle: gift in Vermilion Snorlax: one of the two in Kanto (the...

In all honesty, I love the B2W2 dancing men. It's so shameless, and even as a younger player I knew exactly what the devs were up to. Gotta give them props. With that said, sometimes I do wonder why roadblocks are in place. I've got a Diamond playthrough on the go, and I remember the route...

I dunno, I think it’s cool that they could’ve been named colours. They ended up doing it with Black and White/Scarlet and Violet anyway (and through the latter’s DLC we’ve technically had Pokemon Teal and Pokemon Indigo now too). More colour titles! All day every day!

Yeah, I’ve always had a soft spot for the original voice cast of Pokemon. I recently watched Berserk and was stunned when we met the Princess: “Oh my god, it’s Misty!”. Very sad.

It's kinda hard to predict. In Legends Arceus we got new regional evolutions for three mix-and-match starters. In Legends Z-A, we know that Mega Evolution is returning. They may well forego the regional-evolution in favour of new Mega forms for whatever starters they choose - in which case, they...

Yep! I have specifically never traded in any of my Pokemon games, and still have all my originals. As a kid I owned: Yellow, Gold, Silver, Ruby, LeafGreen, Emerald, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, White and White 2. In my adulthood I started putting money aside to be able to buy both games upon...

I mostly meant fiddling with the Save Type and whatnot. As far as the hack files not showing up, I really can’t say why that might be the case. Sounds like a silly question but you’re absolutely sure you’re placing the .gba files onto the EverDrive, and not the .zip containing the hack? Some...

Not for nothing, but do you mean “Rubbish”? “Rubbage” isn’t a word, and if it was it’d mean something quite different 🙈😂 At any rate, fun idea - I’ll give it a go!

It’s gotta be Emerald or Platinum, really. GSC/HGSS are my favourite games, for sure. But in terms of a decent regional dex, an engaging story and a worthwhile postgame, Emerald and/or Platinum comes out on top. Story’s fun to play through, and by the end if you want to invest further, the...

In older generations, I'll use a HP-restoring item any time. If I'm trying to level-up a Pokémon and it'd miss out on the EXP by fainting, I'll save it during battle. Same goes for status effects (aside from maybe Poison). (Sidebar - does anyone else feel like Freeze just happened so rarely back...

It's funny; I think the Regis in gen 3 are almost the weakest of the legendary sub-trios (where the Lake Trio are the worst due to all sharing a type). But they hands-down have the coolest quest. Nowadays I'd probably be annoyed because why a Relicanth and a Wailord? A Pokémon that doesn't...

I may have hit my limit on replaying the games in general. From time to time I could crack open a new playthrough and happily play through to the end. But since B2W2/XY, I started getting into competitive battling, which made it counterproductive to erase my save file. Then I became an adult...

I see Johto, I am immediately interested. Looking forward to seeing how you've progressed the region! The graphic style is great and so far the dialogue is good and engaging. One small issue I spotted in my first few minutes; see the gif attached. Seems if I approach this gatehouse's rear...

Had to read back and see if I'd posted here before.. I have, which just shows how often I'm l playing one of the older titles lol. Right now I've got a Professor Oak's Challenge of Sapphire trundling away. Theres something very satisfying about having the likes of Blaziken, Slaking, Aggron and...

Water Rooster… Quaxly line. I mean of the three possibilities (Ducklett, Psyduck, Quaxly) I got the most viable type combo so.. I’ll take it 😂
