Great minds think alike! I restarted Red this week; with the upcoming closure of the eShop I figured why not go back to basics and complete a save file in Gen 1 :) Also, I saw that there was a glitch to get a Mew and make it transferable to the latest generation so I'll attempt that, too. How...

Part 4 Not only do the “direction gods” want me to criss-cross back to the west, they also tell me I need to go up a mountain! But I’m not dressed for hiking outdo-… Oh wait, I’ve got an autumn uniform in this bag somewhere… And we’re off! Despite the obvious moments of glitchiness, the...

Part 3 So, making the backtrack across Mesagoza wasn’t exactly what I was expecting from a recommended route. Sure, some toing and froing but so soon after making a start on the journey? The open grasslands and olive orchards soon became a network of cliffs and ladders which, with the rotating...

Part 2 Mesagoza turned out to be a pretty confusing city as I made myself familiar with some of the twists and turns across the map. Most of the buildings couldn’t be entered which seemed odd but, hey, I didn’t feel like I was missing out on much with the exclusion. The thing that actually...

It’s time for generation nine! With a new game out, it’s time to generate a brand new Livingdex and explore every inch of a diverse new region. The whole open world thing is a bit daunting and to be honest I don’t want to run to the end of the game and get stomped on by crazy opponents right...

Part 6 It has been a while since putting some real time into progressing the storyline so I’ve thrown myself into that a bit. It’s really stark how short the content is in the Coronet Highlands compared to the other regions but I can’t say I’m mad about it because Sneasler-style rock climbing...

Part 5 It’s been a long time since I posted an update but the casual play has continued with the completion of a number of Pokedex entries to 100% and a few more random captures. It still baffles me when a level 10 wild Pokemon does 1/3 damage to a level 40+ but that really doesn’t seem to...

Session 7 [11th June] I’ve hardly played in the last months as my arm is suffering an impinged nerve which made games and typing really difficult. With some mini-sessions I have been chipping away at the Johto games and have ended up with the completion of the Gen 2 installments and a bit more...

Ugh, Teleport 😩 I've missed an Abra in Diamond many years ago thanks to that. Your Poochyena/Mightyena learn Taunt eventually but not sure if you have them at a high level for that. Fingers crossed you get the next one quickly!

Session 6 [30th April] Most of this section was complete by 23rd April but Silver and Crystal ended up causing some delays through captures, along with some effort being put into my Legends Arceus playthrough. Gold really has not been giving me any serious difficulty so far; just look at the...

Seeing these updates really makes me want to shiny hunt. I got a shiny Mudkip through soft-resetting some time ago... I'll have to check if I still have the save file or traded him out for a clean playthrough...

Totally understandable; I manage to get about 40 mins in each morning with my coffee before work 😉 For Johto I am pretty certain I will stop after Lance as the grind up to Red can be very time-consuming! 😅

Awesome! The Latios and Latias in ORAS are NOT shiny locked, so good luck hunting them when you get there :)

Session 5 [9th April] After the major slog of triple Kanto, Johto got some love these past few weeks with focus being put into all five games, bringing each of them up to (but not including) the encounter with Sudowoodo on the road to Ecruteak City. This most recent week I took a full break to...

Session 4 [27th March] Three games, one Generation completed. On this day I sat down with a coffee and started the battle for the crown… Starting with Red and Blue I jumped into the Pokemon Center and completed trades to evolve Haunter and Graveler. With my teams fully-evolved I made sure to...
