>>33785327>>33785966There's actually a legitish way to get stones pre Kanto.
Each stone has a trainer that can find it and said trainer will call you if they do. Simply register the trainer corresponding to the stone you want, and only that trainer (can't stress that enough), in your Pokegear. Then go home and toggle daylight savings on. This one hour shift in time will trigger an NPC phone-call at the next screen transition (for example leaving your house). Normally they'll just tell you about how they almost caught a cold but occasionally they'll trip over a stone instead of their dick and let you have it. It's just a matter of repeatedly toggling DST and leaving home until they do.
On topic I loved these games back in the day but I'm mad that they deliberately delayed Crystal hoping I would buy two games for 10 fucking dollars a piece. So for now I'm waiting for Crystal. Trying to decide if I want to do the starter glitch plus Noctowl or Ursaring, Jumpluff, Odd Egg hatch-ling, and Alakazam. The idea of having all 3 starters sounds neat and I like the idea of having an almost full team for the whole game. On the other hand I could see it getting boring fast.
