>>59034950Yes that's my experience too, however I did own Gold as a kid as too, but still seeing their sprites in the gen 3 style felt so mystical to me. It is definitely worth the work playing each game and collecting them all! I've done it both the incredibly tedious was by playing thru LeafGreen 3 times to get each of the Beasts as well as playing Emerald an extra 2 times (I even bought a second copy back in the day to do it) so I can get the other 2 Johto Starters, as well as just recently playing and beating Colosseum to get the Johto Pokemon there!
>>59035124Here's my Secret Base! I collect plushies irl so I might as well display them here too :]
This is my first time really engaging with it, I did this playthrough of Ruby with a friend online for the past year. We can't play together directly, so I have her send me her save file so I can stream and do trading and Record Mixing together emulated. I have over 200 hours on this file now!
>>59035994>>59036009Yeah on my physical Emerald file, the only Pokemon I'm missing are the Mythicals + Ho-Oh & Lugia as well as all the FireRed exclusives. However right now, I am playing each game chronologically, so I'm moving on to FRLG soon. BUT, I did also play through Emerald in Japanese so I have a game to connect to Japanese Colosseum, and I do plan to catch Faraway Island Mew in it soon >:]
