Hello,
I am in desperate need of advice and don't know where to turn
As a child I played Pokemon Emerald, Fire Red, and Diamond. As a teenager I began to nuzlocke: Crystal, Blue, and Fire Red.
As a young adult I no longer had any video games and could never play them on my apple iPhone either
Recently Delta emulator came out and I can play pokemon games again
I began to nuzlocke again and I kept wiping, first Emerald, then Yellow, then Silver
I began a Platinum run this week and it was going well until
>My autosave corrupted and I lost about 1 hour of progress
I didn't lose any gym badges it was only about 5 total levels grinding my zoobat and Sphynx but I am concerned for two reasons
>1
I am concerned that I will lose my autosave / save state again. I do use the in game save as well but since I'm playing on my phone (yknow in normal phone places so while I shit, while I take my ten minute break at work, sitting in traffic etc) I need to be able to quickly close and re-open the emulator. If I continue to lose my auto-save because of this I will not be able to actually play this game on my phone
and
>2
I feel like it's against the spirit of the challenge to revert to a previous point in time. Even though none of my mons died and literally all I lost was grinding Bidoof and Starly for an hour and levelling up about 5 times I feel like it would be unethical and desu cheating to re-do it.
What I am wondering from all of you is
>Would it be cheating to re-do the progress I lost
>Should I continue trying to play on my phone knowing this sort of problem can happen (It was the first time it had happened normally the auto-save state works well. This was however the first DS game I tried so maybe DS emulation isn't as good as GBA in that case maybe I should just do GBA games for now)
Is there maybe a better phone I should buy to play these games on? I'm not afraid to drop some cash if it means the auto-save states will work. I currently use iPhone SE3 because I hate big phones
