I was only going to get 1, that being a Bagon since I would need cut by the time I reach the second badge. And once I get it working, I can screenshot it as a form of proof that everything else will be legit, and SS parts of my progress as I go just cause I feel like it. XD

If I had a second DS and an extra copy of SS that I was willing to restart, I would not resort to this. Since I could trade over a newly hatched bagon as soon as it was possible.

Still, thanks anyways. ^^

And for the sake of it because I'm bored.

Why do you like dragons?
I always did, even before pokemon, because they are cool and I love mythical things as well. And it's interesting on how people portray these sort of creatures as well, whether it be in the different varities they are in Pokemon to in other media and games as well. Mainly the fact that there was a dragon in Pokemon was the icing n the cake for me way back in the day when i first got into it.

Anyways, I may try to challenge, but I'll have to find a working rom of SS in order to do so since I don't have an actual copy of HG that I can use for restarting purposes, I can't take screenshots from my DS, and I don't want to restart my copy of SS.

Although is it alright if I attempt (key word being attempt) to hack in a Bagon, Trapinch, or Gible (at least one of the non-legendary dragons that you can't get outside of the Safari Zone) to use throughout because of being unable to trade when using an EMU. Although it would be more or less along the lines of altering the wild pokemon encounter to be a specific pokemon then catching it as to keep the moveset and stats as natural and normal as possable.

Welcome to the den, Time Guardian. Please enjoy your stay, and good luck in the challenge if you do end up doing it.

I would like to take place in that challenge but sadly I'm busy with other games (to be exact WoW, Guitar Hero/Rock Band and Pokémon Black), hacking Pokémon and school. Talk about being busy. Maybe I'll stop playing Pokémon Black to do this challenge.

PS: How do I post pictures?

tkallab October 18th, 2010 9:48 PM

Why Guitar Hero? Learn to play a real instrument!

I'll probably be starting next week, because I've got vacation then. I'll be trading over a Charmander and a Horsea to my Heart Gold. They'll have some nice egg moves!

I'm kind of having trouble with thinking of my favorite dragon-type Pokémon... I'm thinking Dragonair, but I'm not sure. I really need it for something...

Simply take a screenshot(you can find this option on your Emulator), and if you use DS use your phone camera... upload those pictures on imageshack or photobucket and post them here... Hope I helped! :)

Time Guardian October 19th, 2010 5:04 AM

I usually use an image hosting site like Photobucket, make an account, upload the images, then use the links on there to put them up.

Or are you talking about taking screenshots off of the DS? Because that I don't know how to do, nor do I have a capture device to be able to do it. Hence another reason as to why I'm having to use an EMU with this, despite actually owning the game I'm using as well.

Anyways, 3 images of the Bagon to show that the only thing hacked is where I caught him (and the level to some extent, since if I hatched him from an egg he would be level 5 and not level 2.), I even used the traditional method to get him as well and he's the only one that I'm going to be hacking in for this for the sake of replacing not being able to trade over an egg.

The Cyndaquil will be released soon as he was just my starter. And yes, I did name my character Joachim. XD I also went and named the rival, Walter, as well. (Did cyndaquil to force him getting the Totodile, which if I'm not mistaken, gets taught an Ice move eventually over the course of the game.)

Amore October 19th, 2010 9:51 AM

Yes, Cyndaquil gave him Totodile! Haha, well, at least he'll be able to stand up with your dragons (that was my problem with my dragon-type runthrough, it was too easy until it came to Red's Lapras. Literally, that was my first KO in the game).

Btw, you don't have to upload them to Photobucket/Imageshack, guys!

If you have the file on your pc, you can use the "Go Advanced" option when writing your post, then add them as an attachment. That way, they save space by appearing small in your post, but when we click them, we get to see them full-size!

dragoniteuser October 19th, 2010 10:04 AM

CCC
Amore, I was expecting more from you! ;)
The images saved by useing an emulator's option: take a screenshot, are .BMP files which you can't add as attachments!

tkallab October 19th, 2010 10:18 AM

You can open them in paint and save them as .png.
But I don't think that it's ever a good idea to use an emulator for DS games... Aren't they slow?

dragoniteuser October 19th, 2010 10:22 AM

THEY ARE SOOOOO SLOW! One of the reasons I've never played Sinnoh much...

tkallab October 19th, 2010 10:25 AM

You don't have a DS? That's a shame... But didn't you say you do competitive battling?

Amore October 19th, 2010 10:44 AM

People do competitive battling over Shoddy, Tkallab......saves raising the damn pokemon every time you need to make a change.

DragoniteUser, I don't use ROMs, I just play the games legit, so I wouldn't know. Anyway, as Tkallab said, just open it in Paint!

tkallab October 19th, 2010 10:57 AM

ShoddyBattle, how could I forget! I played a few games there, too.
Anyway, is it okay to trade Pokémon from different generations over? Like, Gible in Heart Gold?

Time Guardian October 19th, 2010 11:03 AM

Amore - XD What i was assuming what that the crononaw/feraligatr does learn an Ice move eventually, right? Because that was part of the intent there. *rarely ever remembers enemy trainer movesets*

And I forgot about the upload option on here, especially since that option doesn't exist on most places I frequent.

DragoniteUser - It would be bitmap if you kept it on the default setting. I'm using DeSmuMe and have it so screens would save as PNG, I think other emulators have that option to change what to save the filetype as, but 90% of the time I find it much much faster to also use the print screen button on my computer when I'm playing non-RPGs.

tkallab - Shoddy or Pokemon Online, both of which people use for competitive battling when they don't have DS/Wi-Fi or to team test sometimes before spending the time to make it in-game.

I will admit, SS does run slow, but it's easily bearable for me to play since I'm used to things running a lot slower for me. And at least it isn't as bad as the lag I always get in Brawl Wi-Fi.

Amore October 19th, 2010 11:28 AM

Yeah, it learns Ice Fang through level-up....and I remember in the double battle with your rival against Lance and Clair, it either knew Ice Fang or Ice Punch....probably Fang, as it never OHKO'd, whereas my own Feraligatr's Ice Punch OHKO'd (yes, I swapped for an identical starter to my rival)

I'm actually playing it to gain agility so I can play a real guitar (and drums, the only thing I doubt I could do in real life is singing). It works.

On Topic:

Okay I'll start tomorrow and get a Photobucket account. Thanks for the advices.

Hey I play drums(the real ones) :)
Anyway back on topic, I should start soon too, but I can't seem to push myself too do it! I just don't feel like it! :(
Nevermind, I'll start sooner or later I guess...

tkallab October 20th, 2010 1:27 AM

Piano, guitar and singing over here!

Anyway, I've decided that I'm gonna start today. But, draggy, you of all people should have the motivation to do this, you suggested the race challenge!

Time Guardian October 20th, 2010 6:59 AM

I would actually like to learn to play a guitar, but I have to be able to afford to get one first. Although since I was in band, I do know how to play an instrument in real life.

And weird coincidence, I enter Falkner's Gym, and the next song in my music player ends up being the Gym theme from Red/Blue. O_o Would of been even creepier if it was Gold's gym theme instead, though. (Still, I got some decent progress for the time being considering I did most of it while I couldn't sleep last night, I should get back to my other project and finish that off before I work more on the game)

And not always does the person that suggest things have the drive to do it on that day. I've done things where I've suggesting projects and such elsewhere, and then on that day I feel like not doing it until later. It happens a bit honestly.

Amore October 20th, 2010 7:48 AM

Off-topic, I play Guitar and Saxophone! (I can also drum to a song, but I'm not a drummer, [modesty]I'm just talented[/modesty]).

That is a creepy coincidence.....today, whilst playing squash, I squashed a massive spider! (we were aiming for the spider, kept missing, then I forgot and stood on it).

Time Guardian October 20th, 2010 8:03 AM

What kind of Saxophone is it that you play? The one instrument I play is a Baritone, (Not the Bari Sax like many people think right away, but the actual Baritone itself.)

Well, at least you got him in some way or another.:cer_laugh:

dragoniteuser October 20th, 2010 10:34 AM

Don't worry tkallab, I will participate, but I gotta get myself to the mood to do it...
Once I do, the challenge will be over before you know it! ;)

tkallab October 20th, 2010 10:54 AM

Yeah, you go, girl! Haha!
I said I was gonna start today, but I'm trying to teach myself css at the moment, so it'll be tomorrow. Because learning comes before fun!

dragoniteuser October 20th, 2010 11:00 AM

Girl I'm glad you're feeling me on this! Whos the biatch now?!?! :D
And:
FUN>COMPLETLY USELESS THINGS>MATH>LEARNING

tkallab October 20th, 2010 11:06 AM

I was totally imagining you being Shanaynay when you wrote that...
And I'm afraid you made a miscalculation. Useless things always go before fun.

We're having severe off-topic problems here right now.
