>>58902904No Colo/XD? Cool thread idea though
>>58902912Yeah this is the 2nd thread since the previous one got archived. >No Colo/XDI was thinking of including those since they are tightly connected to those 3rd gen games. I will keep that in mind for the next one.
Which emulator is better if I want to link 4 accounts together to make black Pokéblocks with minimum feel? mGBA or VBA-M?Also how do I RNG manip for max IVs for all stats? Don't really care about shinies.
>>58902944Fuck I meant to ask which emulator is better for RNG manip. Not how to RNG manip.
>>58902946mgba should be the best
are game loactions allowed? if yes, post your comfy gen 3 gifs
>>58902951thread is mainly for gameplays but you are welcome to post locations gifs as long as it's not too spammy
>>58903057no, i dont want to bloat it then
What are the best ways to inject the events into your RSE FRLG cartridges that's not action replay? I want to replicate the legit mistery gifts.
>>58903160A youtuber managed to modify the Aurora Ticket distribution rom to distribute other items (and other things such as the Wish Eggs). You do need a GBA emulator that supports the Wireless Adapter, though. No clue how many good ones support it. I couldn't get it to work, so I basically said fuck it and injected the events with PKHeX.The same person also did a similar distribution hack with the Mew distribution cart, replacing it with other event Pokemon, including the 10th Anniversary Celebi.
>>58903322I know there's some tools you can use using the NDs R4 or something? I think you clone the sav from the gba cartdrige, add the events in and then update the cartdrige sav I don't remember exactly the procedure
It's not unusual for Kantomons have kinda scuffed sprites in RS that then get improved upon in FRLG (before their RS sprites get reused in Emerald for some reason anyways) but in Gengar it feels like the reverse happened, which is weird because you can't even acquire a Gengar in RSE.
>>58903458Forgot to attach picYou see see what I'm talking about?
>>58903463yeah FRLG sprite looks amazing but I don't really mind the RSE one. I appreciate how the shiny looks though in both version. It's very distinct.
>>58903469I don't like grouping the Ruby/Sapphire and Emerald sprites together because even if you don't count the animations, there's a few different ones.The ones I know about are Wartortle, Caterpie, Lickitung, Mr. Mime, Jynx and Snorlax. There's probably a few more but I couldn't find any comprehensive lists of differences or even just dumps of every Pokémon's GBA sprites side-by-side.
Managed to catch Shiny Absol via RNG Manip in ruby today. Gotta say my SID is cursed by having only one early shiny frame below 5 minutes but at the same time the mons on the various routes I can get on that frame are really cool. I got shiny Numel, Tropius, Zangoose, Gardevoir in my party with of course pink Marshtomp. In my box I got the fresh red Absol and shiny skarmory. I can get shiny Slakoth too in petalburg woods.>>58903549Very interesting I never noticed that. Would love to see a complete list of the one that changed from RS to emerald.
Just found out the mail glitch in FRLG was a thing wtf
>>58903549Shiny Butterfree looks very different in FRLG compared to RSE, for some reason it doesn’t have pink wings in FRLG.Interestingly they made its backsprite even more pink in Emerald than it was in RS.
>>58904389Lots of glitches and neat stuff regarding RNG manip has been discovered in these games just in the last few years. It's the main reason I started playing them again, RNG manipulation seemed like black magic at first to me and I was attracted to it. I really want to have a cool and complete emerald save where I can test the limits of battle frontier too since I never collected the 7 golden symbols when I was a kid. Also to master all the Contests too.
>>58902946I use MGBA for everything like that honestly. Damn fine and even has support for connecting to Dolphin if you want to.>>58903160For this as well.https://github.com/Goppier/Gen3DistributionRoms/tree/main/JPAJ%20-%20PatchesLuckily tons of preserving and maintaining of the event ROMs are available and can be done through MGBA. Helped the guy with the Shiny Sing Spinda get that through the distribution.
>>58904537To add to this, one of my favorite things to do is give a real JAP bonus disc celebi to my engliss saves. No PKHEX involved this was given to this save by the bonus disc.
>>58905101
>>58903458For me it's Sandslash, though, you can get it in RSE
I'm training a team to attempt all the gold symbols in the Battle Frontier.Team: Tyranitar, Sceptile and BlastoiseI'm willing to swap any of them except for Tyranitar, but I want at least one pokemon of each gen. I'm playing on an emulator but I caught, bred and trained all of them legitimately.
>>58905188>but I want at least one pokemon of each genWouldn't Metagross and Zapdos be better?Dragonite if you don't want legendaries
>>58905201>MetagrossI wanted to avoid the typical META (heh) pokemon like Swampet, Metagross, Latios, etc.>Zapdos>DragoniteDragonite seems like a good choice to deal with dragons.
Is it more important to have a shiny starter with 2 or 3 perfect IVs, or a non-shiny starter with 5+ perfect IVs?
>>58905350Shiny starter always. You don't need perfect IVs to beat pokemon, always go for style.
>>58905391Alright then. Is it worth making the extra effort to go for the 12.5% chance of getting a female starter, or does it not matter?
Anyone here whose trainer ID and secret ID are the exact same?
I'm going fucking mad with my Magikarp hunt for my SBQ/DTQ18600 fish bought from the Magikarp merchant and it STILL hasn't shined...the funny part is this isn't even meant to be my final water type mon in the playthrough. I was thinking of replacing it with Lapras later on>>58905350IVs basically only matter for like optimum Frontier performance for gold symbols in terms of in-game stuff. Just go for the shinyAre you RNG manipulating or something if you're worried about that?
>>58905409I mean it depends entirely on you. In my Ruby playthrough I just want a full team of shinies via RNG Manipulation (this is my first time so I'm using this as a practice run). I know that in Emerald I will have to rebreed everything and since I'm autistic I may have to breed more sets of different mons for the battle frontier. I already decided that do differentiate them I will make some of them shiny and some normals. >>58905489Not me but I was always tempted to do a reverse engineer program that gives you the best seeds and PID for every game using your filters. Maybe there are seeds where there are multiple shiny frames close to each other with good IVs and Nature.>>58905566Good luck anon don't give up
>>58903549>>58904382A lot of sprite changes from Ruby and Sapphire to Emerald appear to be due to finger number. Snorlax has 3 fingers in RS but 5 in Emerald. I already remarked on Mr. Mime, but Poliwhirl and Poliwrath each had 4 fingers in RS but 2 and 3 respectively in FRLG and Emerald.Haunter and Raticate still have 4 fingers though, their de-fingered would have to wait until DP.>>58904425I think they were still deliberating on whether to retcon Ash's Butterfree's girlfriend as shiny or not. They settled on "no" I imagine because they didn't want to risk kids believing it was just a gender difference and accidentally K-O'ing it.
Is it worth soft resetting for a shiny in Emerald considering it has broken RNG seed?
>>58906056It's risky in the sense that you might have a seed and SID combination where your earliest shiny is in a 30 seconds or more frame so by instantly softresetting everytime and rushing you will never hit it.
>>58903463Yeah, absolutely. Man, the FRLG sprites for Gengar were a big downgrade.
