Online for Gen 4 and 5 is kill.
Gen 6 online is no kill.
We Megas now.
>what are megas?
Temporary evolution for Pokemon that makes them stronk as fuck.
Gen 3 are getting remakes which will be out next month

That's it. You're up to speed. Enjoy playing best generation

sorry man i wouldn't even know the old ones. i know the first 386 or so i think it is.

>rotation battles
according to bulbapedia "predominantly showcased in Black" so does that mean i have less of them?
also i thought there all these weird new numbers, stats and shit people master to play hard?

Sounds like your computer should be able to run it fine. Try a different emulator. Try both desmume and no$gba/no$zoomer. My shitty laptop runs pokemon black2 on no$zoomer sped up to 300% just fine.

Also, don't worry about IVs or EVs. They don't matter in game. Only if you want to play online competitively.

Rotation battles appear like, once the entire game. You could probably skip it without even realizing it, so don't sweat it. And the numbers you're talking about are called IVs and EVs, which were around back in Emerald as well, just less obvious/harder to max out. To put it incredibly simply, IVs are an invisible bonus to each stat that increases the stat by a max of 31, and EVs are invisible "experience points" that go into each stat and can further increase them. In-game, none of this shit matters, so don't sweat it if you have no idea what I just said

if you dont keep it clean, it starts turning yellow

grease from your fingers will collect around the controls which will add grit around the buttons.

Just keep your hands, station and socks jfc clean and you'll be alright. Better to get in the habit now than screw up future handhelds later

Little bit of both. Some are geniunely useful or otherwise give options to a mon that it wouldn't have before (Example Heracross gets skill link, making the otherwise useless Pin Missile a guarenteed 5 hit STAB) or change its typing in a way that can be used.

But yeah some are just there to make it look cool and aren't all that helpful.

You won't be getting your full mileage out of these games without a flashcart or save dongle for that specific reason. Just FYI. You'll need to edit your save to get things like berries, PWT download tournaments, Join Avenue visitors, Dream World Pokemon, C-Gear skins, Pokedex skins, download musicals, and Unity Tower. My main problem with Gen 5 games is that they were way too dependent on Nintendo WFC for their own good.

>My main problem with Gen 5 games is that they were way too dependent on Nintendo WFC for their own good.
The main reason I don't enjoy gen5 as much as I used to. With so much of the content cut off after only a couple years, it really hinders the experience for those who can't cheat in some way and weren't fortunate enough to use the content while it was available.
On the other hand, I was still able to play in the Underground (one of my favorite features in Pokemon that isn't battle-related) in Platinum with a friend over the summer despite having no wifi.

I just cited the lack of save files as the reason I don't feel like replaying it right now. It's not really autistic, especially considering that word has no meaning here I just hate deleting progress I've made, especially when most games support something simple as having a second save file. It probably won't change though, considering GameFreak and Nintendo know they can more easily sell the game twice.

OP I was in the same boat as you. Still living with my parents and my dad is still convinced that Pokemon is satanic and is meant to brainwash kids. I shit you not; I still have to hide my cards in a box in a safe, and I can't display my plushes and figurines on my shelves. I'd say you should have gotten White 2. But it's good you finally advance into more 'Mons.

Anyway, for Gen 4, just know that Diamond and Pearl are the worst main series games and Platinum saved Gen 4. HeartGold/SoulSilver are rare to find and ridiculously overpriced (I saw one used Heart Gold at Gamestop for $50. And that's just the Power Up Pros price). Gen 5 is fun as hell too, and B2W2 expanded on all the good parts and made stuff even better. More legendaries, a more intricate plot, and lots more post game. Hold off until Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire to get introduced to Gen 6 whenever you can, because you'll be kinds disappointed with XY.
