>playing emerald >breeding and training for BF, always wanted to play it but wanted to try it legit and on cart>put macho brace on lv 70 starter >put exp share on vaporeon>think I have the stats right >find out that the doubled EV's don't carry over to the exp share holder
>>57210767>feel like playing Platinum>boot it up>remember it has random encounters>remember it has HMs>remember it has TMs that only work once and can’t be repeatedly obtained>remember the maps have no gameplay except walking and clicking A in front pf rocks>remember the slow bag UI>remember the slow saving>remember the slow battle UI>remember the game incessantly spams Golbat Graveler/Machoke random encounters>remember the game forces you to wait hours for honey trees>remember the game forced you to wait hours for the Great Marsh>remember it has no trainer customization>remember it has no ranked online>remember the breeding is shit>remember the EV training is shit>remember there's no ability capsules, patches, mints, or bottle caps>remember it uses lazy static sprites instead of pokemon that are actually animated>remember it has no party exp share>remember it has no box PC>remember all the railroading>remember the difficulty is even shittier than the newer games>go back to playing SV
>>57210778kill yourself
>>57210778>the game forced meBravest anon
>playing HGSS>early game>want to use a Pokemon>their only source of damage is from an utter dogshit move like Poison Sting or Tackle>never gonna be able to kill anything so I'm forced to drop them or switch trainSigh
>>57210778based
>>57210833>tackle isn't good enough for early gameI used to wonder why gamefreak kept removing features and dumbing down every game.
>decide to try out Emerald Battle Frontier>start with the Battle Tower>complete 7 battles in a row>*congratulatory fanfare starts playing*>"Congratulations! You've been awarded 1BP!">the only thing you can buy for 1BP is a single stat boosting vitamin>mfw in Pokemon Crystal you were awarded 5 vitamins for winning 7 battles in a row
>>5721086035 base power is still pretty shit, should be 40 at least
>>57210833>so I'm forcedYou actually aren't.
>>57210767why would you a pokemon without the brace get double EVs?what kind of logic is that?
>single use TMs>NOT A SINGLE FUCKING WAY to obtain moreWow gee thanks for 1 (one) Stealth Rock TM! Sure hope I don't need more though!
>>57211341Well I'm not FORCED to but it's either that or wait till EXP share or get Rare Candies
>>57210945It caps at 15 BP and 25 BP for beating Anabel if you aren't a campaignshitter
>>57210945lil bro couldn't beat set 1 doubles or multi
>>57211731>>57211760Kek I played for one streak, saw the 1BP, and just assumed the payout would always be at 1BP
>>57210767My question would be why would you think a Pokémon not holding the Macho Brace would get extra EVs?
>>57211519Just breed.
>>57210767>play gen 5>forced to suck cockokay...i mean, i'm not forced to...but it's either that or wait until I get exp share or rare candies
>>57212592Audino is available after gym 1
>>57212592Think that's just you buddy
>>57210767XP before gen 5 was extremely poorly implemented and made catching or hatching a new monster as miserable experience. Changing how XP is earned to be a scaling system was possibly the best quality of life change in the series.
