>>58908190>>58908171You should buy sm/usum before the 3ds pokemon prices go up in a few years. I got NOS copies of xy/oras/sm/usum back in September. You might think I'm schizo but I said this same shit back in 2017 when copies of dpp/hgss/bw/bw2 were only $30 and then 3 years later they went up to $80
>>589082423ds is way more hacked to shit where I can’t see the prices going up much more than they are. People will just DL it off hshop rather than pay $300 for a cart like HGSS and B2W2. That said, they’re already much higher than when I got my old copy of Y (<$20, now >$40)
>>58908252The ds was pirated to shit since 2006 when the first flashcart hit the market but people still spend hundreds on ds era pokemon games when they could just buy a $20 flash cart off amazon
>>58908242wtf is nos
>>58908276New old stock. Ironically was cheaper to buy new old stock copies than to buy used cib
>>58908284You have actually played your copies though, right? 3DS cartridges are the lowest quality game carts that Nintendo ever made and ORAS in particular is vulvnerable to failing. Even NOS copies are likely even more vulnerable to not working right out of the box because Nintendo's solution to failing flash memory was refreshing it when inserting your game into the 3DS and playing it.
>>58908339>You have actually played your copies though, rightYeah I played them. The original reason i bought them was because i needed the hoenn dex pokemon for my home living natdex and I bought XY and sm because I'll need them for when I get to those portions of the living dex and I played them until I got my starter. I originally wasn't going to buy usum but them I realized it was 2025 and the games would probably be getting more expensive
hunting in dynamax after finishing the CT plot be like
>>58908271Flash carts don’t have the same functionality with moving up/to bank. Downloaded games do.Also as someone who has had a fake pokemon cart, those are going to have weird glitches and crashes when compared to real ones/downloads
>>58908350>moving up/to bankUntil gamefreak decides to stop paying to keep the pokemon bank servers up
>>58908359iirc you can’t even move pokemon from a fake gen 4 cart to gen 5. They’re never going to be directly comparable, sister
>>58908360Again, call me schizo but the prices will rise when pokemon Twitter realizes they can just buy the old games instead of spending their entire life begging for a switch remaster of alola. 3ds prices have already skyrocketed
>>58908392I get what you’re saying, but look at what’s driving the price increase; it’s people going ‘oh, I can download EVERYTHING???’ DS flashcarts didn’t have that same normie pull on top of the other issues. Every kid I knew in school with a 3DS had cfw on it, and even now, every guy with a 3ds tells you to put homebrew on it. Back then, if you had a ds flashcart, you were poor and it was viewed like if your family had one of those “20-in-1” game consoles
>>58908190>Using my pic of best girl as the general picNot sure how to feel about this one, but it is making me tempted to do hunt a Shiny Latias in Emerald, deck it out in all the Ribbons possible from Gen3 to Gen 6 and then bite the bullet and start doing Home transfers. On an unrelated note, Ho-Oh killing himself a few times in a row when re-playing HG nearly 6 years ago paid off when pic happened. I fucking love gold shinies anons.
>>58908190>Jerked off to shiny LatiASS so hard their pube hairs were left on the bottom screenDisgusting
>want to play a new gen >autism tells me i should shiny hunt a starter firstEhhhh
>>58908454The only time I hunted a shiny was Cyndaquil in VC Crystal and it took me so long it put me off the thought forever.
>>58908410>if you had a ds flashcart, you were poor and it was viewed like if your family had one of those “20-in-1” game consolesYour school must have been lame because when I was in 5th grade there was a kid with an r4 and he was the cool kid because he got to play pokemon black and white early with one of those shitty fan translations and then when the real games came out the generous king traded all his pokemon away and restarted from scratch on the real version
Didn't know you could use home on multiple switch users. It will be annoying but I'm glad I'll be able to get both Regidrago and Regieleki
>>58908190Anyone is still shiny hunting using bench method in ZA?
>>58908802Nah nigga we use portals now
>>58908802Yeah
>>58908190Closing in on my base game Shiny Dex completion. Have 10 mons left which is good since I wanted this done by Pokemon Day.
>use the Trappinch/Flygon i caught on the Terrarium for the Drayton challenge>wipeFeels good
>>58908897I feel like i'm close to completing the normal shinydex too, but knowing what a pain it was to get the trade mons, i kinda don't want to
>Get the Poison special scan (Galarian Slowpoke line and Hisuian Qwilfish line)>Already have both in SwSh & PLA respectively but decided to do it anyway since I might not see it anytime soon >Immediately get it a second time after going to the syndicate >>58909080I’m usually someone who doesn’t shiny hunt at all but getting so many ZA Shinies without trying too hard made me want to do it. There have definitely been times where I want to move on but I’m glad I didn’t. My best suggestion is to break it up into pieces so you can enjoy other stuff in between sessions.
Golissopod is a fucking beast in ZA, man, Ranked to U in a single match
>>58909381Forgot to mention he carried that single match, since my dumb ass forgot to give good moves to Delphox and Tyranitar
It hurts alot being forced to release extra shiny.
>>58909407I stopped playing za so I wouldn't have to release stuffAnd cause special scan rng was being rude but mostly cause my boxes were full
Dude, why the fuck are Legendwries allowed in Ranked ZA? A fucking Kyogre and Zygarde jumpscared me, and ofln top of that, that fucking faggot cheater got 9 kills. I'm bringing fucking Rayquaza in, fuck these faggots
>>58909678Raykwanza sucks. When they adding my GOAT
>>58909407I wish za had wonder trade.
>>58909823>send a shiny Fletchling >get a shiny Fletchling You don't want it anon
>>58909833Can't speak for him, but releasing someone else's shiny is totally fine by me. Releasing mine feels bad.
>>58909858but you don't feel bad releasing normal pokemon? sounds racist to me
>>58909864yes?
>hunting for Treasure in Hyperspace>steel hole>finish my hunt>suddenly hear a cœl fmailiar sound>BeldumThis makes three now. Gonna get it in a Heavy Ball
>>58909891I caught it in a fucking Timer Ball. Shit fucking sucks, fucking this retqrded faggy jap system of pokeballs that fucking alips all the damn time, fucking faggot japs. And i got another Patrat
>>58909891>Gonna get it in a Heavy BallI'm glad catch power exists...
If I was playing PLA today I'd hunt rowlet then name it superb owl
>>58909807lol horses
>>58908897>Down to the final monBros it’s almost over…
>>58910204deserved for using tera ghost
>>58910227I am free at last
got another bronzor while going to tinkatink...
>>58910229Poor Miraidon didn't make it that next turn either.
420 eggNo shiny
>3 sparkling sandwiches to hunt a Salaneit/Salazzle>1 single result in that hour and a half of chase>maleThat gender change item is starting to sound more of an acfual necessity other than autism vanity, now...
>>58910455No one even pretends to like Miraidon. You're doing God's work
>>58910653Umm sister your save scumming??
>>58910690>No one even pretends to like Miraidon>second most used pokemon in vgc 2025
>>58910690I actually do like Moraidon, but I think it needs quite a nerf to it's ability. I also think the Calyrexs need to lose their items.
>>58910653I don't bother with sandwiches in sv. I just picnic reset until something is a different color.
>>58910703Wanting to win =/= liking something
>>58910694Did i say i used a new sando every reset, fœl?>>58910720I'm not even gonna bother with SV no more, at least not until i get a Switch 2. The shitty lighting, lag and other crap makes hunting in that one pure AIDS
>>58910709>I also think the Calyrexs need to lose their items.probably true
>>58910752>at least not until i get a Switch 2as someone who recently got a switch 2, the difference is massiveyou get like 50+ pokemon at the same time on screen compared to the switch 1
>>58910756And i imagine forests are walkable
>>58910762the graphics are totally different too and the 60fps also helpsbut some areas are still ugly as sin tho
>>58910765What about shadows and textures?
>>58910766about shadows, they don't flicker as much as the switch 1textures, hmm I don't know. I think you need to see for yourself but as some anons put it, SV on the switch 2 is a total different game
>>58910709Haven’t legendary duos always been lopsided between one or the other? E.g. Kyogre reigns supreme over Groudon in non-Mega formats, Zacian and Zamazenta in Gen 8 and Gen 9 respectively. It’s also arguably justified for it being so good when almost all the Future Paradoxes are complete shit.
>>58910769Well, that's something to look towards. Last thing, how's the draw distance?
>>58910774>how's the draw distance?you mean if the objects/pokemon disappear when you're too far away?You get a lot more draw distance on the switch 2 for sure. Pokemon can spawn even far from you. But you can also notice some objects disappearing too. Not really a thing that bothers me tho
>>58910772Miraidon/Koraidon relation is actually not as lopsided as one might believe. They have both now won worlds titles. Reg G favored Miraidon because it's a powerful mon in a vacuum that doesn't really support others, while Koraidon's sun is infinitely more useful to support a team.Zamazenta wound up way outperforming Zacian in Gen 9.
>>58910781The pokemon is what matters. Main reason for me quitting on S is because 9f that
>>58910785well, on the switch 2 you can see pokemon spawning very far from you. And sometimes it scares me that a shiny could spawn very far and not see it or it despawns
Naming this shiny Female Fennekin Toujours because she's racist
>>58910794nice shiny, bro
>>58910799Thanks bud. She's Bashful
>>58910794That just means "Always". What's racist about that?
>>58910829lol
