>>58372238>remember the slowYou know there’s a speed up option on Desmume right anon?
I don't have a DS or 3DS and I like playing on actual hardware.
>>58372238Based, HGSS fucking suck. Johto is an extremely boring region and half the “gameplay” is shit minigames for rewards handled better in better games or waiting for arbitrary time games to open.
>HGSSengine comes out>Wow now you can do anything with DS rom hacks!>Years later>DS rom hacking status: ...
>>58372238>remember the tedium of transferring Pokémon -> Gen V -> Poké Transporter -> Pokémon Bank -> Pokémon HomeInstantly have no desire to replay older Pokémon games.
>>58372238yeah but>remember it has no ranked onlineywnbaw
>>58372219I played it on my Switch with a Flip Grip a few years ago and after all the badges and legendaries it didn't feel worth it. I haven't done anything else since.
>>58372238Most of these are good things but sure
>>58372219>not playing the better versionfag
>>58372238GEM
Shiny new toy
Because I'm not a little brown who can't afford new vidya. Full disclosure here's all what I currently own (as well as the game units to PLAY all those carts on) but I've not actually gone back more than three Generations to play a pokémon game, because even going back two highlights all the flaws inherent in playing games made for older, shittier handhelds. And when I find this shiny Nidoran I'm after (one way or another, horde hunting in X while trying to spawn one in LGE's route 9 with a 31 catch combo and max lure), I'll only need to hunt in friend safaris, assuming my targets aren't just included in L: Z-A or Gen 10.Why do I need to fixate on 16 year old games still?
>Remember the wonky level curve and no exp all HGSS are some of my favorite games, but man, that tires me.
>>58372309Wow look at mr big shot here he can afford a switch so you know he’s loaded
>>58372309heartgold costs about as much as a switch 2 though
>>58372219Why play the standalone games at all? Isnt there literally some Pokemon MMO that has all regions in it and you can go around battling in itMy pic PokeMMO i think it was called.
>>58372352>Forgot pic
>>58372352>Isnt there literally some Pokemon MMO that has all regions in itnot all of them, only the first five, it also has increased difficulty for most fights, the only downside is that the economy is extra jewish but if you don't care about the MMO bit yeah it's basically just a remaster of the first 5 gensin other words you should play it right now
>>58372236play hack roms and fangames instead of nu gen shit
>>58372219I'm playing it right now in original with Cute Charm exploit and it's pure fun.
>>58372219I'm playing it
>>58372339Not when I got my copies they didn't. Mind, I bought one with roobucks and one with sterling, so it was all funny-money to me anyway.

>>58372238What’s up with the picture? Is the guy ai generated? It’s so uncanny
>>58372504he's fat
>>58372238>feel like playing HGSS>boot it up>remember it has random encounters>remember it has HMsYep, it's kino, don't need to read the rest
>>58372219because it's NEW!
>>58372360Pokemmo is good, I just made a thread asking about it and yeah honestly the less you treat it like an mmo and the more you treat it like a difficulty mod the more enjoyable it is. I can’t speak for the high level economy because I’m still pretty new but buying pokemon and items I need hasn’t been a problem.
>>58372438Based. Fuck niggers who don't still have their hard copies of the game. They aren't/weren't real fans that treasured their time.That, and buying replacement copies to fill a hole isn't the same as the actual carts you played with.
>>58372438Have you had issues with omega ruby cartridge? mine stopped working a few years ago and I guess it's a common problem
>>58372535NTA, but Alpha Sapphire still works a dream. Ruby niggers BTFO
I like everything about Legends Z-A, EXCEPT for the most important thing: the battles. I hate that this game is not turn-based. So I'm not going to buy it day 1, but I will still probably try it later on.But yeah, I'm currently playing USUM and LGPE (two of my favorite Pokemon games ever) and I'm having a great time.
>>58372219Because sovlsilver doesn’t have Delphox.
>>58372870it has ninetales
>>58372219i played it recently and got kinda stuck at vermillion city because my two most leveled mons are a level 51 thyplosion and a level 50 noctowl
>>58372238TRUTH
>>58372242emulator features are not an excuse
>>58372238spbpFuck HGSS dickriders
>>58372238>grinding for hoursI cant believe people dont just hack infinite rare candies and level scale
>>58372238The post that killed johtoddlers
so HGSSchads how does it feel to know that /ourgame/ is the prime redditor filter?
>>58372238>feel like playing HGSS>fly to Ecruteak>OOOOOOHHHHH ORANGE LEAVES IM GONNA COOOOOOOM>turn off DS
>>58372219how can you get an epic adventure game and finding a legendary pokemon out of nowhere in a game like ZA where you're stuck in one city?
>>58373480>epic adventure game>johto, the smallest and emptiest regionpick one
>>58373490you know what I mean, it doesn't have to be only HGSS
>>58373501fair.
>>58372219>Not playing HeartGold insteadDon't listen to the anti-Johto people mocking you, listen to me mocking you for playing the inferior version instead
>>58372238How much is gamefreak paying you to post this?
