Pokemon Emerald Won't Load Passed Initial Gba Screen

is there a way to fix this from it not loading? it isnt one of those fake gba games.

and am i on the wrong forum? if the mods want to move me thats ok with me thanks for helping-nick

 

[Sydian]

Take it out and blow into the cartridge maybe? It's hard to determine a problem since there's not much info here. Are you absolutely sure the game isn't fake? There was an instance in another thread where the user said their games weren't fake, and upon further research, they turned out to be. There's a post in the FAQ in Advance Generation Gaming where you can read about identifying fake GBA cartridges.

 

[Nick-p]

i am 100% sure it is not fake because it has the shiny sticker on it

 

[Sydian]

If you say so. Anyway, like I said, blow into the cartridge NES style, put it in your system securely and snug, and boot it up again. I can't think of why it's not working.

You didn't happen to leave it in a pocket that recently went through the washing machine, did you? I know that tends to damage games.

edit: Before I leave for class, I also want to add in that you might should clean it. Take a q-tip and put a little all-purpose cleaner on it. Not too much, though. And then gently swab the inside of the cartridge and see if that helps. I know that works for NES games (gee, that keeps getting brought up a lot, doesn't it?) so I assume it will work for a handheld Nintendo game.

Gonna move this into Advance Gen so Syd can merge it into the proper thread. :3

Training tips?

My current team is:

Kabutops: Lv43
Graveler: Lv44
Raichu: Lv44
Charizard:Lv43
Vaporeon:Lv49
Haunter: Lv43

Where would you recommend that I train for the Elite 4? It's my first time round and the reason my Graveler and Haunter aren't evolved is because I'm on an emulator.

stars

Hey, I'm Luke. I'm new on this site and I wonder if you can help me with obtaining all stars on pkmn trainer card in pokemon fire red and leaf green versions?
I know about requirements but I can't get through this one: Jump 200 times in Pokémon Jump and get 200 Berries in Dodrio Berry Picking
you need 3 players to get through and gba wireless adapter only allows 2 at the same time on one computer.
Can someone help me?

 

[Sydian]

Those adapters require someone being local. It's not like the wifi we have now.

I always found the trainers in the water above the hots springs on one island with the Seeking to be good exp. Also the route between Lavender Town and Saffron City has lots of trainers.

I've caught like 5 krabbys now and none of them have a good nature, is it because of the old rod? and what should I do to get a good nature krabby?
OR would you recommend me a better water type?

Nah, the rod has nothing to do with nature, you're just unlucky.

I would, Kingler aren't very good in that game. Better water types include Starmie (if LG), Lapras, Vaporeon and Tentacruel.

Hi, I'm contemplating doing a Dragon run through of my Leaf Green and I need help with my team:

Can anyone suggest a sixth member and give me some ideas for potential movesets?

I would really appreciate it. Thank you. :)

 

[Sydian]

Try asking in in-game team help, a subforum in Battle Center. However, you need to at least try to make some potential movesets. It's kind of rude to make others do the work. And then once you've done that, people can help you revise them if they need it.

Okay, I can do that. Just one question though. Do I repost it there altogether with the additions or do you move it there and I edit it?

Nevermind my last couple of comments. I'll just repost it there with everything. Thank You. :)

SR (Soft Reset) Shiny Starter?

So Ive recently stumbled upon Soft Resetting and the whole Shiny Mudkips topic. And I went head first into this thinking it would be easy... ;~;​

506540864068 SR's later... here I am.​

So I just wanted to get your guy's five cents on how to do this properly or anything you might know about it. What I do know is that you start a new save and get to the part of the story where the Birch is being attacked by a Zigzagoon. Save in front of the bag and continuely SR until you opne the bag and choose a starter, then battling and seeing if its a shiny.​

What I dont know or would like to ask you guys is...​

Whats this buisness with the number "3" in the Pokemon ID?
Can you tell if its shiny by looking at the sprite or do you have to go into battle?
Average amount of resets before starting a new save?
Doe timing matter?​

And by the way, I am using a EMERALD game, and as far as I'm aware, nothing is wrong with it.​

Thanks before hand for any advice. :D
Is it spelled shiney?... ;~;​

 

[Sydian]

1. I know nothing about the numbers.
2. You have to go into battle.
3. idk
4. I've heard it doesn't.
5. Shiny without an e.
6. I'm merging this with the Q&A. :)

Tyrogue training....

I am training my tyrogue in order to get a hitmontop.
But is there a certain method to get ATK=DEF?

 

[Bounsweet]

It's tricky but not impossible, what I do is level Tyrogue up to 19 and save. Then give it enough Protein/Iron to balance the stats, level it up, and hope for the best :p If it doesn't evolve into Hitmontop, reset and give it either more Protein or Iron (whichever it needs more of).

It also helps if you have a nature that is either neutral or doesn't affect either of those stats if it's not going to be a competitive Hitmontop.​
