Oh it is alive again.
I stopped playing gen4 and just started gen5. And god do I fucking love that gen. It's a little bit difficult to keep playing for a long time, because I felt burned out, but I love the game too much.

Probably my 5th playthrough and only now I realized that they actually gave an explanation why cheren wants to be the champ instead of the usual "eh yeah he is your rival". Thinking of dropping victini once I get the lamp, but not quite sure.

I decided to do a Black/Black 2 playthrough in honor of the 10th anniversary. Decided to drop 3 bucks on the Dream Radar too, I'm kinda tempted to grind it and just steamroll the game with Genies and Dialga and shit.

Is there any way to reliably trigger gym leader rematches in Emerald? I've just been wandering around Hoenn rematching all the regular trainers and I've had each leader offer a rematch, but only once for each of them. I was sort of hoping I'd be able to challenge their 4th and final rematch teams before I end up so overlevelled that I steamroll them regardless.

what was the "roundabout" way? I'm about to play through it for the first time to get a timid Raikou and bold Suicune for the Battle Frontier in my Emerald and Platinum. I'm trying to not do any glitzer popping but Celebi and Mew will be the only Pokemon I'm missing if I don't.

if you're planning to aim at good natures for Suicune and Raikou, they're set the first time you encounter them. You get a second chance through the game for pretty much every pokemon but the natures are set from the first encounter onward. Lots of shitmon to fill the Johto dex but it's still fun.

Gonna post my Radical Red team, then. Really good romhack, but to reduce the EV/IV grind (which is required in this game since bosses will have optimized EVs, IVs and natures so good luck outspeeding anything if not) I recommend you just cheat for money to buy vitamins and hyper training. Dedicated EV spots also come several gyms too late in my opinion.

Guess which of these was the team MVP. They managed to carry the team against all sorts of bullshit, including but not limited to
>double psychic terrain Expanding Force from Mega Mewtwo Y and Tapu Pele at the same time
>a rain team featuring both Mega Swampert and Primal Kyogre
>Primal Groudon, Darkrai, Imposter Ditto, and several other legendaries in one team
>Megamence

yeah i'm playing through it rn and my number one complaint is on EV training and the lack of type-boosting items. The lack of early game items is a vanilla FRLG thing because that game added like no good items early game aside from random crappy berries. Just beat Surge and only have one loss when I lost to Bugsy's SD scizor. My other loss was to a Bide Seedot on Route 1 when I was using fastforward and had no pokeballs.

I'd predict Cleffable was the best because Cleff is amazing. From what I've seen, the E4 are certainly some shit.

Yeah, it's Clefable. Max defense/HP with Cosmic Power, Moonblast and Stored Power and it can take on most of the game on its own. I ran it with Magic Guard/Wish because I initially wanted it to be a wishpasser to support the rest of my team, but it quickly became the hard carry of the squad instead, if I had known that I would run Unaware + Softboiled instead. Clefable is a fucking god.

It's an ultra hardmode hack so logic goes out the window, and you can catch your own. Besides, the Frontier brains used legends

Not that anon, but for some reason I'm okay with Frontier Brains using Legendaries. Maybe because they aren't a part of the official league, they're their own thing, so they've always felt like they were another level to me, one where anything goes and it's just about being the strongest. Like if there was a bit where you battle a Gym Leader/E4/Champion outside of the realm of the official competition, for story reasons or for a post game challenge or whatever I'd be fine with them using a legendary, since it's just their own personal thing rather than an officially sanctioned match.

I don't know that's all just really headcanon in the end, but I still think the Frontier Brains using Legendaries is cool for some reason.
