Pokemon Emerald - Johto Starters
 
You know how in Emerald, if you fill your HoennDex you can choose one of the three Johto starters? How long did it take you to get to that point in the game, and, how did you do it.

For me, I traded over from other games (via XD), caught Pokemon, and threw an EXP share on Pokemon that needed to evolve and went through the E4 just about a million times. Seriously, through that, TWO of my in game team grew to level one hundred. It took me several months to do.

And I've soft reseting for a shiny Cyndaquil ever since.

My copy of XD is busted, and I play my Emerald on a DS anyway, so it'll take a while. Remember, all mons missing from the Hoenn Dex are in XD.

Sydian November 21st, 2010 10:16 AM

It took me half a year to do the Hoenn Dex on Sapphire, so there is no way I'd ever do it again on Emerald. I could easily do that though, since I have almost everything in some form or fashion. I imagine it'd only take a day or two. I just have that much stuff lying around, haha.

I never did. I eventually grew sick and tired of Emerald and sold it to GameStop, so odds are I won't be completing it and getting the starter ever.

gamefan1 November 21st, 2010 6:30 PM

hahahah it took me a month to finish XD (cause of school works :( but emerald only took me 2 weeks rigth now i have 353 pokemon and 85 hour game play XD

It took me a good 7 months, to finish the Hoenn Dex. I remember grinding experience for all the third stage Pokemon like a mad man. But it was worth it, to see my favorite fire type in my possession.

Kirbychu November 22nd, 2010 9:46 AM

I never completed the Hoenn Dex; I was to busy owning my friends and completing the National Dex.

dragoniteuser November 22nd, 2010 9:53 AM

Never really tried it, but now that you mention it, I might just aswell try! ;)

mal'akh November 22nd, 2010 10:43 AM

Tch. Forget that. I did it in Leafgreen, but nothing else.

Amore November 22nd, 2010 11:42 AM

Never could.......my GBA was all I owned, so no trading....not that I had wired/wireless adapters anyway....and now my GBA is gone (sadly I had to get rid if I wanted a DSi) so I couldn't trade even if I found the adapters.....tbh, between Emerald and LeafGreen I can probably get 300+ in my National Pokédex......

XD looked good....but I can guarantee the graphics'd seem too dated for me now...although I would love to use Munchlax/Bonsly (or are they both in it? xD)...

Mewtwo152 November 22nd, 2010 1:40 PM

Took me a while, but I did it. If the game was out in May 2005, I think I was done with every side-quest by August, so I was done by November. I traded most of my Pokemon from the other third gen games, the only reason it took so long was that I didn't feel like cloning that many Zigzagoon.

Petemon November 30th, 2010 8:40 AM

2 days but i cheated but i got the 3 of them a t once by copy and saving the Sa1 file before i piked the pokemon (Pretty smart)

Mew~ December 2nd, 2010 11:40 AM

I never did get to doing it. I did want to put I didn't know many people with the other version. :(

If I did I would have chosen Totodile.

560cool. December 2nd, 2010 11:44 AM

I had no idea about this award. T_T
Which immediately results I never tried filling the dex in my Emerald ROM on my PSP (my first Pokemon game).

mondays suck December 2nd, 2010 12:45 PM

Even if I would have had the ability to trade, I probably would have never managed this.
Also, when I learned about this fact, I had already moved on from cartridges to roms and when I found out how to trade between roms (which I find not worth it anyways because it always takes eternally to get it to work, stuff keeps crashing) my playing style had already transformed from having one constant file to my characteristic challenge spam.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ December 5th, 2010 12:26 PM

It took me less than a week to do so (like five days) without cheating


:t354:TG

GlitchCity December 7th, 2010 8:06 PM

I have never gotten up to that point :[

NekoNekoChan December 8th, 2010 2:48 AM

Seriously, I don't even know that there was this such kind of reward. xD;

BLK December 11th, 2010 11:03 AM

i had multiple games and gameboys so it took me about 3 weeks after witch i chose totidile
(my spelling is horrible)

WildGamerAppeared December 11th, 2010 8:22 PM

It took me around half a year D:

Awesome Post
 
It took me a full month (in summer vacation) to complete the game and fill my dex. Unfortunately, you only get two random options:
They give you a choice of the three starters-90%
Or give you a ticket to fight Ash and Gary is some random island-10%
Unfortunately, I got to fight Ash and Gary, which took me long. Sorry, but I wasn't able to get the starter for some reason having to do with luck and math, but I hope to myself to start the game over if I can(got so attached to my pokemon) and start over to get the starters.

KingCyndaquil January 5th, 2011 3:15 PM

Morgnarok January 20th, 2011 3:50 PM

Took me a few weeks if my memory servers me right.

mikey January 20th, 2011 3:57 PM

I never got up to that point :(

Maybe I should pick up my Emerald and start playing again and accomplish that...
