Post about your DPPT / HGSS playthroughs, teams, battle frontier streaks, contests, trainer card star completion, etc
I’ll startStill working on a 100 streak in Battle Castle….Garchomp, Suicune, Blissey just not cutting it
>>58961816cool thread. my capture card died on me in the middle of my rng colosseum playthrough so i haven't played pokemon in a while, but i was slowly making progress on random shit in platinum last year. here's some eggs i rng manipped
>>58961908gible i might use in the battle frontier....eventually
>>58961908>>58961911it seems you like shiny blue guys
>>58961911here's my wack secret base and underground stats.digging up 100 fucking fossils probably took like 25-30 hours i think, but it was fine. i'm trying to get all base decorations too and mr. goods gives you a red crystal for grinding this nonsense https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mr._Goods#Crystals
>>58961816this may be a good place to repost my little sprites i made in a previous thread, they make me wonder about Black & White in gen 4...
>>58961923Damn I also really liked the underground, so fun collecting fossils and stones there, really only did it for the trainer card star though
>>58961928yeah it's so much more grindy past the trainer card if you care about the decorations. gifting 100 items, 'meeting' 100 other players (pretty much what you do for spiritomb), digging up all the fossils etcthere's also a second set of type-plates you can get down there after the credits on top of the ones you can find in the overworld
>>58961923i never interacted with the underground much, is it still usable without nintendo wfc? maybe restoring fossils would be a fun shiny hunt.
Anyone got an up to date guide on how to get mystery gifts in HGSS?
>>58961816Peak Pokemon. Going to start my annual Platinum run tomorrow or Friday. Might for as much of a complete save file as I can since I haven’t done it since release
>>58962364>is it still usable without nintendo wfc? maybe restoring fossils would be a fun shiny huntyeah you can dig up fossils entirely solo lol. the underground has no connection to wfc anyway, it's either solo or local wireless only. you'll need a second ds and game if you want the trainer star/platinum flag/trainer star/full-sized secret base/etc, but digging up and restoring fossils is all solo>>58962365afaik the easiest way is to set up an unencrypted hotspot with your phone. or if you have a modded 3ds, i'd just inject it to your save with pksm
>>58962391whatcha plannin for a team anon
>>58962400yeah I'm asking more specifically if anyone knows the up to date DNS I should connect to also if it's perfectly safe, but I imagine it is
>>58962404Not sure. Porygon Z is my favorite Pokèmon so I’m definitely using it and I like pretty much all of the Sinnoh Pokemon so I might just go in without a team planned which is a rarity for me. Will look over the Plat Dex later to see. Any recommendations?
>>58962400i have 1 copy of every gen 4 game (minus heartgold but i have a japanese soulsilver) so i imagine i'd be able to do it.I hate how expensive these games have become, but emulation for me produces this kind of netflix feeling where everything feels kind of vapid and sterile.If some chink factory figured out how to produce unofficial cards that used Parallel NOR Flash instead of shitty SPI flash with microcontrollers I'd buy another 5 cards.
>>58962516yeah you can do all the underground crap with just 2 sinnoh games. but like i said, you can access the underground and dig shit up with just a single game.i know what you mean about the prices, luckily i guess i got hit by the nostalgia wave a bit earlier than everyone else and bought a bunch of pokemon-related crap in 2017 before the prices became exorbitant. even then, i felt dumb paying like 40+ dollars for an extra copy of emerald, but it was def worth it lol
holy shit a gen 4 thread
>>58962563just to let you know, GBA repros have come a long way, and if you look in the right areas you can absolutely find repros that use flash memory instead of SRAM saving, the latter being famous for dropping saves and corruption.The DS is much harder to do this with bc thats when Nintendo started getting annoying about encryption and codes that the card needs to translate from the system
>>58962638thats good. the only gen3 game i really need is a pal copy of pokemon channel, but i'd just be buying it to get a good iv'd "legit" jirachi which is so dumb
2 4 and 8 are all the worst gens and theyre all the 2 divisibles
What's the best emulator for Gen IV on my phone?
>>58962694Delta.
>>58962741android onegai
Just beat 21 Palmer Then almost got my shit pushed in the very next match. I had to spam Latias' Recover until the enemy TrickScarfed Pokemon went into Struggle... twice the jump in difficulty is brutal lol
Keep it going anons
>>58963964Are you using Latias Drapion Garchomp or something similar like Registeel? Either way good luck with the gold symbol
>>58964087Latias Gengar Garchomp. The Garchomp is actually pretty good, Gengar and Latias aren't even EV trained and iirc Latias has a -speed nature lol The team isn't even set in stone between these 3. Sometimes I go with Garchomp lead, other times Gengar lead, other times Latias goes first... currently thinking of setting Latias as lead but I'm wondering what items to go with. Feels kinda crappy to have Focus Sash on a non-lead, and I prefer Gengar with Life OrbI need to make some posts with more details later
>>58964172I got 105 with Gengar Scizor Garchomp so if you need help thatFocus sash destiny bond GengarSd bullet punch ScizorScarf chomp
Gen 4 remakes when?
Dead at 46, alongside my hopes for a 100 streak for the card.Past 21 the tower is pretty rough but manageable, but as I approached 50 it was really noticeable how the bad stats on my pokemon were hindering me as mentioned, I have a pretty good Garchomp I bred but I was making do with a 16 year old Walmart Gengar and Temu Latias. I could improve both of them slightly with EVs but it's obvious the subpar natures would be hard to deal with in the long run.
