I don't; the amount of grinding I need to complete the Battle Tower in Emerald is so high that I'm completely burnt out.

the BF is only playable if you have access to hacks. Training up Pokemon legitimately is boring as fuck between the shitty breeding and EV training mechanics and the fact that some TMs are once per game.

I still self-insert like I'm in one big Quantum Leap universe, where I flip into a new kid's head every couple years and help them to achieve their destiny, all while cracking wise with the experience of the past 21 years of playing the games.

Sorry your attention span is shot, zoomie. My fully trained Heracross, Slaking, Latios, and Metagross have better attention spans than you and they literally don't exist.

I have the training complete but it's literally an issue of me getting cucked somewhere in the last 2 rounds to make it to Anabel. After that happens to you 50+ times you tend to not want to play anymore.

I think BF All Gold Symbols has to be one of the most difficult things you could ever do in an RPG legit. Even the "speedrun" strategy is still very much prone to getting fucked up by the RNG.

Friends. Having friends that are also into playing pokemon makes these shit games better. Without them, I would have just beat the story, finished the dex, and probs wouldve been done with SwSh, but making some fun teams to vs them makes it way better.

I use Zapdos, Starmie, Snorlax. I don't look at my opponents' movesets until I lose to them and my last loss was against a Blastoise that tanked a TBolt from my Zapdos and turned right around and Mirror Coat'd me.

man i came to post something just like this.

i don't speedrun the games the night it comes out, only to complain that i just beat a game that should last 20 hours in like four. like most of you don't like pokemon, that's okay. don't play it man. I don't understand that about our generation, why do we do things we undoubtably hate?

It's pretty simple to replace the battery in the cartridge, and you can find replacement batteries for <$10 along with good tutorials showing you how to replace them. Though that depends on how much you care to do any of that.

This is its replacement. I was able to unlock the power of RNG manipulation via a random shiny, but I don't inject whatsoever. PKRS was obtained through my old XD save that still have it from over a decade ago.

Yikes, 182 Sp.Atk at level 50 with a Quiet nature is close to 0 IVS. Both defense stats are 30-31 though.
>>45579007
I'm guessing it's modest/timid with perfect IVs? If so, solid tower pick.

Always wanted to do the BF in Emerald. Finally did this past summer. Remembered how much I was gonna have to grind to produce a servicable team. Hacked in a bunch of OU mons and completed the Silver symbols. Realized how shitty the grind was for Gold symbols so I stopped at that. Was fun and infuriating to get the Silver doe.

Don't really need to breed. One-time-use tm's make it more interesting imo. EV training sucks, but speedup makes it slightly better.

Have a Pokemon with Lum Berry and go to the Pyramid and hope you get one via Pickup.

Plant one and then just plant or grind from there.

Hacks/fangames and some nuzlockes. Been fond of hacks that add new regional forms (or Delta mons for Insurgence) as they aren't normally autistic fakemon and are still fresh monsters to use. Nuzlockes are only fun streaming with friends though, I can't really do those by myself on my lonesome. Gets too boring.
I do occasionally just do a comfy replay of Emerald/Platinum/BW2 where I try to beat all the postgame shit, that's usually satisfying enough.

I honestly don't anymore. Playing competitively and learning about natures, EVs, IVs, breeding, etc warped my autism to the point where I can't even use Pokemon with non-beneficial natures.

> why do we do things we undoubtably hate?
When it comes to consuming media its a mix of
a)people caring more about taking part in the discourse about the thing
b)people not actually hating the thing and lying about it becuase you can't praise anything too much on discussion
c)also not hating the thing but being unable to deal with the fact they like something bad.
