EMULATOR PASTEBIN INFO OUTDATED
IMPROVED EMULATOR PASTEBIN HERE:
https://pastebin.com/HmVC99sZ
STICKY IS OUTDATED!
BAKER PLEASE UPDATE STICKY
Times have changed DeSmuMe has not seen a realease since 2015 and in that time melonDS has overtaken it as the PREFFERED /nuzgen/ emulator.
>DeSmuMe vs melonDS comparison
In vidrel I have tested DeSmuMe on the left and melonDS on the right. You can clearly see the fps is printed to the blue bar at the top of the screen. I am running both emulators concurrently and unfortunately do not have a fast enought computer to render both at 60fps at the same time HOWEVER if you do then you may repeat the same test with the frame rate uncapped and you will find similar results that way
>FPS
DeSmuME:
Idle: 30-52 avg: ~45
Walking1: 35-45 avg ~40
Walking2: 30-40 avg ~35
vs
melonDS:
Idle: 45 -50 avg: ~48
Walking: 30-50 avg ~40
Walking2: 45-50 avg ~45
>Texture glitches
The video clearly shows the random black lines which plague emulation on DeSmuMe while you can see melonDS does NOT have this problem.
Note the 'blurry' ness of the video is a result of the compression to the webm format. These videos were recorded at 1200x800 resolution and if I uploaded the raw footage to youtube they would not be blurry
>Solutions?
I propose that we AT LEAST recommend melonDS to newfags in the sticky if not remove DeSmuMe all together.
The fact is that development of DeSmuMe has ended (their last release was in 2015!) while melonDS will only continue to get better over time.
It's time to stop living in the past and embrace the improved emulators of the future
Oh yeah, PS
>melonDS supports local wifi connections so you can trade your pokemon between games :)

I'll probably grind up coins in the Game Corner for Ice Beam and put it on Howie. Short of that, Petra can fuck a lot of his day up, and Lil Debbie is a fucking freakbeast of a tank. Not super concerned about Gen 3 Lance, honestly. Dragon being a Special type neuters him pretty hard.

It's a nice start, but seriously we don't need to treat the 4 year old pastebin as a fucking gospel. Also I think we should link the level caps for the gyms for each game in the sticky too. Seems to me like three years ago someon wrote some words down and now you're all worshipping it like it's God's gift to man. I felt my changes to the pastebin were VERY minimal and I tried as well as I could to preserve the old while introducing the new emultaor (I also emphasize THE WIKI more than just random recommendations which is what the pastebin should do in the first place)
Regardless, yes I agree with your sentiment

What do you mean by 'save over your savestate?'
I honestly find myself just using regular saves on ds emulators after how much I crashed on DeSpooPe lol but isn't the whole POINT of playing NugLock to NOT savescum so saving over your old saves shouldn't be a problem. Also don't both Des and melon both have 10 savestate slots? You can just save an old save to like slot 5 and do your quick saving on slot 1...but also melonDS never crashes so you can also just save when you're done playing. IDK can you explain your issue a bit more?
>>46082059
>I don't use key bindings.
Why not? Keyboard driven input is faster and more accurate than using a mouse. Do you not have functionkeys or are you just unfamiliar using the keyboard? lol my whole workflow is primarily keyboard driven. Ever since I got used to using a terminal the mouse just feels 'so uncivilized'

Oh! yeah I have done that a few times before as well. Like I said above I've actually just started regular saving. Unfortunately they don't have auto-save / auto-load like mGBA does (which is very comfy) maybe I'll go make a feature request for an auto save / auto load over on the melonds github that does seem like a pretty useful feature.
Otherwise I can't really give you any advice other than just watch what you click lol (or use the normal in game saves)

Never forget, Quid. I would catch another one but I want to save water routes for when I get Surf and Dive. In the end training him would've been pointless since Chrys just walked all over the gym. Had my young self known type matchups correctly this gym wouldn't have been such a pain in the ass back then.
The gyms might be easier than I remember, but some trainers have caught me off guard. Still, the game seems relatively easy so far. If I had to choose an MVP right now it would probably be Arky. Pickup has given me three Nuggets, a few Ultraballs and even a Rare Candy.

I'm pretty sure Shedinja can't be damaged by most of his team. One thing I do recall is his Voltorb having Rollout so I'll have to switch out there, but otherwise the gym shouldn't be too hard. I'm more worried about the upcoming rival battle and Flannery's gym.

that defog route is a real pain when your fliers are dead already.
probably going to reintroduce Bibarel, Lopunny baton passes might be pretty useful if he survives late-game, and I'll take Bronzor to fill some typing requirements. I should really just take the Scyther and evolve it but the last time I did a plat run it basically swept the game.

Shit, I fucked up the video recording (I'm going back to obs after that desu) but DAMN what a battle with Lt. Surger
So I led with Samson Mankey who I had taught dig. I had meant to use Thorin DugUno but unfortunately he ded so I was depending on Samson to handle the Jim with Smaug and Scarlet on backup duty.
However
I once again failed to predict his lineup correctly. Voltorb I expected and dealt with quickly, pikachu gave me barely any more trouble, BUT when I expected a magneton...it was a Raichu.
My first mistake was using Dig, my second mistake was not switching out fast enough.
Raichu got off like 5 double teams in a row and just started ass raping everyone I sent out, somehow fucking Mclovin Beedrill was the one who could take the Thunder Waves and deal back some damage. Thank GOD twinneedle hit (also I think maybe thunder is bad against bug or something oh wait! Fucking Beedrill is Bug/Poison not fucking Poison/Flying I'm such a retard...)
Anyways 3 badges down I've still got Route 6 and Route 11 Open as well as Route 9 and dark cave or whatever it's called. Hopefully I grab a machoke but honestly fighting isn't a super essential component of the team. Plus heading into Lavendar and ultimately Cerulean will open up a LOT of choices as far as party composition. Just the fact I've got Garydos, Crowbat and Beedrill alone make this team not only viable but powerful, then add in Charmealeon and it's looking pretty stellar. Gloom / Vileplume has literally never been a favorite of mine but for some fucking reason she's ALWAYS on my fucking GBA game runs. She usually either get's cucked or does fucking nothing except petal dance like half a dozen times all the way to the league. Like I know she's half useless by now so MAYBE I'll have the brains / skill to try and replace her with SnorHax or Gengar or somthing but...well I'm getting ahead of myself. Gotta go test the routes and see what I can get. Loosing Dig for Dark Cave sucks cuz I'll have to pay to escape now..

I assume you're suggesting suicide.
People like you are too low iq to understand that being deppressed is basically the OPPOSITE of how you need to feel to kill yourself. Suicide is active, not passive. You have to decide, make a plan, and follow through. It takes effort, motivation, and determination. I don't even get up for 10 hours at a time even if I need to take a piss. It's not worth the effort. Taking ACTION to kill myself wouldn't be worth it, I can just stew in the bullshit (plus I still have money weed and pop tarts why the fuck would I kill myself Again I think people like you aren't fully intelligent enough to actually thik through what you're implying and ironically enough you're exactly the kind of braindead retard who does something retarded like swallow a bunch of pain killers or jump off a bridge because you were 'deppressed'
Depression isn't even a fucking thing it's just boredom or a small brained cope. If you had your eyes open and your brain firing on all cylanders you'd realize there's nothing to be happy or sad about and that life IS the same as death in the sense that it passes both infinetely fast in the blink of an eye but also takes SSSSSSUUUUUCCCCCHHHH A LONG TTIIIIIMMMMEEEE
You dig that? Yin and Yang man, life is the the part that feels fast but is really instantaneous while death feals instantaneous yet is actually eternal.

Jolteon or Vaporeon in both depending on your team comp. The happiness evos are good if you can stomach grinding them, Umbreon is pretty tough to kill once you've leveled it

Suicide can be passive when you let yourself waste away the way you seem to be doing it. Even a smallminded person like me knows that you can't scape reality no matter how hard you try, and it doesn't matter how tall you speak at the end of the day you are only some dude that can only get permahigh to avoid turning the passive into active, as you like to put it and parroting those who really came to accept their own mortallity and enjoyed their stay on earth, as short as it might have been.

I'm fairly certain not showering for months at a time, smoking weed, eating junk food, jerking off, playing vidya and shitposting literally 24/7 for months at a time is the most hedonist life that you could possibly imagine so if you're implying that I'm NOT 'acceptin[ing] [muh] own mortallity and enjoy[ing] [muh] stay on earth' then I think you have a warped definition of earthly pleasure. I have literally and unironically told everyone, EVERYTHING, every debt call, old friend, family member whatever to FUCK OFF so that I can stay comfy and do whatever the FUCK I want. I have literally 0 problems in life, no responsibilities, everything I do is for my own pleasure and it's been this way for months.
I have a feeling you're trying to argue with a strawman or that you misunderstand my philosophy. I'm not 'oh woe is me women dont like me' cring black pill that most /r9k/ people are I'm ASCENDED blackpill to the point where I just literally don't care and I'm comfortable with starving to death in this trash filled room (pretty sure the buddah was at this point to to be completely honest, my reading of his life story is he was a very wealthy young man who 'had it all' and never had to work or put any effort into just having his /comfy/ life of sex and games and drinking until he went out and saw people starving and dying and he realized that in the end we'll all writhe in pain and whither away as the flame of time surely burns away our lives. So, he was a better person than me in that he ACTIVELY gave up all his possessions to go walk around and try to convince the retards to stop giving such a fuck about themselves and to chill out BEFORE starving himself to death. IDK I'm stoned that prolly didn't make much sense but I think caring about life, especially in a world like the one we're in, is pretty insane. Better to be comfy and make peace with the reaper but I also think people should do as they will. How well must try hard life be going if you're here now?

gold should be espeon or umbreon because the evo stones arent available until kanto. in crystal they are obtainable as gifts from trainer calls, tho. umbreon also hard walls morty fwiw. just gotta teach it mud-slap or breed for pursuit.
red they're all good. it's also probably where flareon is most useful because of its high atk AND high spec (even though it's still not super useful until late game)

It's entirely up to you how you want to handle gifts, but I personally think the best way is to treat them like any other encounter. First captured mon in the area, that's it. If there's more than one, roll a die.

Ok, well the whole Abra fiasco was disappointing to say the least. Wasted my Cerulean City pick desu AND now i really don't have a solution to the looming Rocket Fortresses (but if I member correctly Giovonii uses more like Rock / Normal types with maybe like a Crowbat thrown in) still I don't really have a great team against rocket in particular. However, the team IS overall pretty OP still (minus Scarlet Gloom who is just meh and continuing the Vileplume tradition of doing not much the entire game but somehow staying in my party )
However like i said my mons still ARE op for this gym especially. Pluto the Crowbat in general is my MVP and I'm gonna need him especially during the rocket bullshit.
Not sure if I want to fill the 6th spot on my team yet desu, I have Ceres Fearow just chillin in the box but with Crowbat and a prospective charizard I feel like another flying type would be more of a liability so I may just hold off until after the rocket hideout to go down to Fuscia and try my luck in the Safari Zone (ideally some kind of rock type like Rhydon would be dope) Otherwise...IDK I was really kinda hoping for Abra to fill my poison weakness...I could try for Snorlax but it seems like every time I try to catch him I end up getting fucked in the process (speaking of I need to teach Brik Break to someone or else he'll probably single handedly fuck my whole team up lol)
Good chance I'll get a ghastly encounter, if I could pull THAT capture off Gengar is a solid Abra replacement. Hypno too but idk if / where he shows up in this game. Down by Fuscia maybe idk. That's gonna be most of my options in the mid game before I can get surf (then I'll be able to at least go get a good lectric type from the Power Plant in theory with surf)
I'm in need of some shut eye I think, still can't get over my retarded abra death earlier...really dropped the ball there.

>you can get the Silph Scope from the Game Corner Rockets
Thought it was from Silph Co, meh my memory is fuzzy but yeah that's the plan. I purposefully left Pokemon Tower alone so I could come back with the scope and not get spooked by the ghosts (and to avoid the Blue fight up there until I'm higher level because why not) Ghastly is hard to catch ESPECIALLY if he starts his fucking mean look curse bullshit (or if he just curses himself and commits sudoku) but I've been having decent luck so we'll see if it holds. even without a sp. attack sweeper the team is still pretty decent. Charizard, Garydos, Beedrill land Crowbat are all pretty S team Mons (but yeah they don't really have an answer to poison...or electric types)
>>46083929
Oh, lol, yeah I clearly don't know this game as well as you but you're right. Either way his bullshit came out of left field and I was paying just barely not enough attention for it to register as a threat. Sigh, repeat three times

Jesus, this was a bad split. Aaron actually went pretty okay all things considered, with Akihiko overleveling mid battle and the only real casualty being just an unlucky crit. But I realized that without really stupid cheese (which I could do, I just didn't want to) there was no easy way to tackle Fantina and her dreaded Ghost/Fairy Mismagius. At least it didn't Calm Mind spam, and she didn't end up burning half my physically oriented team that I didn't have Rawst Berry for, but at the end of it I had to basically decide who I felt had more worth going forward and who had to die. I do try to minimize deaths for these and it is a bit of a shame I'm so sloppy this playthrough. Haven't done it in a while I guess

F. what's with your team levels, though? marshtomp eats roark for breakfast
>>46083824
sudowoodo is lowkey an extremely based mon. it's capable of eating a surprising amount of hits and is capable of doing quite a lot of damage (at least in later gens with shit like head smash, but you can still get a lot of mileage out of it in gsc i'd imagine)
>>46083981
honestly chadlocke anon gastly isn't bad to catch at all. i think it's something like a 50% chance to get if you just chuck an ultra ball at it from full. people make the mistake of hitting it below half so it kills itself with curse

My level cap is that of the gym leader's ace, thus my max level for Roark was 15. That's why I couldn't evolve Mudkip.

think it's dumb to criticize, because that's realistically the only way you'd be able to get a static pokemon you'd want. the idea you could walk through the entire power plant to get zapdos or the entire seafoam islands to get articuno without getting an encounter beforehand is extremely silly.

Murmur died while training. Worst part was switching her out and instantly remembering that Doduo has Pursuit. I'm pretty sure Pursuit is the one move that has killed most of my mons throughout all my nuzlockes.
Wattson was interesting I guess. I lead with Coal to take care of Magnemite and Voltorb, swapped to Nino for Magneton and got hit with a Supersonic. Thankfully my first attack went through and I decided to just cheese it with Leech Seed rather than trying to brute force it. Defensive tactics really are best in nuzlockes. Also Aria joined the team. I'm not sure how relevant Huge Power is for Marill pre phys/spec split, but it's still nice for her to have that ability.

>>46084445
I'm against using repels to force certain encounters, but to each their own. In the end no one can judge you for how you decide to play your nuzlocke.

Not doing Gen 1, nope. "Genlocke" isn't really the right term, it's more of a "Regionlocke," I guess. I'm doing two runs apiece of every region on the GBA and DS era, since those were my favorites, and having the second run of each region be semi-randomized so it's not too boring. So I've finished Ruby and FireRed, with one more Hoenn and Kanto run to finish, and two runs each of Johto, Sinnoh, and Unova.

It was very close, but I've completed my first Wedlocke! Loreli was no match for Azalea+Aceedecee, and I decided to use them against Bruno as well. Agatha sadly claimed Cici+Larry, specifcally her Arbok paralyzing and screeching the pair.
I decided to use Azalea+Aceedecee again for Lance, mainly because I didn't want to solely rely on Siren and have Coomer be dead weight/fodder. Sadly Aceedecee fell against his dragonite the same turn it died to leech seed. I used Siren+Coomer against my rival, and Siren fell to his Alakazam.
Only two team members left, both unpaired, but I'm glad I was able to make it to the end. I still have kanto to finish on my HeartGold run, but I kind of want to do another Wedlocke, probably of either Black/White

Blew thru the Rocket Game Corner with Annie and Pluto sweeping up then hit Blue. His team is pretty good desu and I don't really have an answer to his Pidgeot or Abra Kadabra but luckily I was over enough to just tank them with Annie but going forward I'll need to think out my leader better. No electric and no rock types are a pretty big hole in my coverage. I guess I could go grind for thunderboldt tm at the game corner but I can afford to put that off for a while as the next Blue fight isn't till silph co i believe.
Anyways I grabbed Charon Ghastly on my second or third great ball (no ultras still) but unfortunately he does NOT have Hypnosis so Dream Eater Gengar got denied and that's pretty dissapointing desu. Still Gengar even without Dream Eater will prove a powerful member of my team. I might teach him Psychic in order to smash thru Koga early so that I can tackle Sabrina with a fully levelled team (without Abra both of those Jims are going to be harder than they needed to be...oh well)
Now that I've got everyone levelled we're climbing Pokemon Tower then I'll have to go fuck SnorHax up (Probably NOT going to try and catch him...I know it's pussy but he seriously fucks me up and Charon ony knows ghost type moves so he can't really harm him. My only choice would be to either lead with Charon and just confuse ray + pray and spam balls...or Scarlet could try to idk poison him (but doesn't rest heal that bastard anywasy?) or I did teach Smaug Brick Break but IDK if he could really go toe to toe with SnorHax still desu. We'll see.

Well, he does have shadow punch. My worry is that using Gengar to fight Kadabra becomes a race to One Shot. Either I hit Shadow punch first and it kills him or Kadabra hits with Psychic and I go down fast. It's a big risk move and it comes down to whether my Gengar either
A) wins the race and has the SP Attack to OHKO
or
B) has the SP Defense to stand up to at least one psychic without dying
It's risky, IDK I'm also in general pretty bad and team building and typically just use the ones I think are most badass plus a small amount of planning / trying to cover weaknesses
Just got a Nidorino in the Safari zone which was not what I wanted, but could be useful

I think the games overall are improved by these changes though maybe they are made easier by having access to Crowbat. IDK that's the way I felt like playing. In general turning off trade evolutions should be a no brainer it just saves time even if you can trade with yourself

>Snorlax is the best Pokemon in the game
Seriously? I've never used him desu..lol here's my team. It feels like Scarlet isn't pulling her weight but I'm afraid that if I take her out I won't have a good answer to lectric or water mons (especially cuz Smaug is my current Digger and he's going to evolve into a fucking flying type soon lol)
You think Snorlax could comfortably replace Gloom here? Or someone else? I'm currently just grinding up Mclovin Beedrill and Pluto to go sweep Sabrina with, then either give Charon Psychic for Koga or train up the GodDuck I cought (I've got a caterpie as well... decisions decisions) I WOULD like to keep the grinding to a minimum if possible but I also know that if I don't grind I risk wiping and then all was for naught.
I trust Beedrill and Crowbat to deal with Sabrina so i'm already starting to think Koga will be the bigger problem.

No, I always do Sabrina first, so we beat her with just Wambach. Alakazam was a dumbass and only used Calm Mind and Future Sight.
>>46087135
Yeah no, Snorlax is fucking insane. Insane bulk, monster attack, god-tier move pool; everything's fantastic. And because it can learn Shadow Ball, and since Shadow Ball runs off Attack in Gen III, and since he's a specially bulky Normal-type, he's probably the best Sabrina and Agatha counter in the game. Absolutely insane Pokemon.
I'd probably replace Beedrill honestly, you're hitting the point where that Pokemon is going to not be pulling his weight, and if you're planning on using it as a Sabrina counter, just using the Vs. Seeker to farm money to buy Shadow Ball will turn Snorlax into a much better Sabrina counter.
Charon will be a great Koga counter, since it's immune to his self-destruct, resists poison, can't be poisoned, and Psychic will waste him.

Gonna step in here on the Gengar discussion.

Do NOT run Gengar with Ghost moves in Gen 3. Don't even fucking think of it as a Ghost type. Gengar exists ONLY for you to throw Special TMs on. Its Attack is abysmal, and ALL Ghost moves are Physical. Delete Shadow Punch, give it Psychic and Giga Drain, and let it run roughshod over Poison and Ground types. They can't do shit to it.

>Do NOT run Gengar with Ghost moves
Hmmm good point honestly. So psychic, Giga Drain and... I'd love thunder or thunderbolt but they're hard to get in this game (especially if I'm gonna be grinding out a shadow ball tm lol thunderbolt on top of that would be crazy)
Pretty sure thunder tm is in the power plant though. Thanks for the advice I'm probably gonna teach him Psychic (especially since I now have Godduck AND Venonat in the b0x as backups psychic types in case shit hits the fan)

I ran Psychic, Giga Drain, Thunderbolt, and Confuse Ray personally on my Gengar, and she was an absolutely unstoppable fuckbeast. Thunder would work well too. With Gengar as a special sweeper and Snorlax as a free switch-in to LITERALLY ANYTHING, you're set to win the game.

Man Brawly is pretty scary in this hack. Intimidate Hitmontop, Poliwrath, Breloom and Heracross. Lucky I have tons of great encounters (and a few turns of Para/Confuse luck on Poliwrath) so he wasn't much issue.
I still lost the Taillow though because I'm a tard, there was literally no reason to send it in.

Caught an Aipom/Hitmonlee fusion, and he is a BEAST. Managed to win the gym match with Whitney handily, (with a little Hypnosis lead-in).

Archie's Golbat wiped me thanks to supersonic and wing attack. Sapphire is very interesting to nuzlocke from what I can tell. Gyms were fairly easier than Emerald but I feel like the trainers were a bit tougher, although there are definitely fewer than in Emerald.
I'm not sure if I should go back to Platinum or to Soul Silver. I wiped to the Ghost gym leaders in both last time, so either or would be a quest to get my revenge against them. Which game should I tackle now?

Soldiering on from losing the run MVP, we added two new additions to the team: Jordan the Raichu and Rudy the Tangela (also subbed out Nidoking because its two types (poison and ground) are already covered on our team. Taking on Blaine, he actually was a bit more of a problem than I thought he'd be because Fire Blast do be hitting hard, but we still took him down pretty easily.
Going to the Sevii Islands, hoping for a good encounter to sub out Hitmonlee for, since I'm planning on giving Marowak Brick Break and Raichu Substitute/Focus Punch.

It's also how you get Rock Smash (though I'm not sure if you actually need it for FR/LG), and you get some pretty good items. It's also how you get Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon. Worth doing just for some extra XP before Giovanni.

Does MelonDS also use in-game saves? or Do i need to use savestates? I remember Desusme basically requiring it for mon games.

You can use both. Either method works fine, though as some other anons have reported I have accidently wiped my savestates by hitting the save hotkey instead of the load hotkey so it's safer to use in game saves. I personally would just use in game saves then leave the emulator running for fucking 16 hours while playing but that's just me. As long as you're careful about your keystrokes / menu selection then savestates ARE faster than traditional saving but it's pretty miniscule and the stability of melonDS means you don't have to be worried about constantly saving in case your emulator crashes (though it is still a smart habit to get into)

There are Nintendon't shills here who are trying to suppress melonDS because they want you to have a shitty subpar experience while emulating the DS so that you'll go buy the re-releases on the Virtual Console for $40
Anyone who actually uses DeSpooPe realizes that it crashes every 30 mins and thats assuming you don't have to reset already to fix some stupid broken textures or to get your controller recognized again.
That's why I've been reccomending melon it's superior to DeSpooPe by such a wide margin that I really think I'm doing a public service by trying to speed it's adoption and I do feel bad for people who are still using DeSpooPe when there are better alternatives available.

Do y'all have a specific Pokemon or type that always seems to die in your runs?
Despite there always being an overabundance of Water types in most games, I can't seem to keep mine alive, always dying to unexpected Electric moves from non-Electric types, or just from an average attack like Bulldoze, etc.

Well Mudda died to Mars' Purugly which really surprised me. She got a critical fake out at half health. Luckily Tsar finished her off. I always catch a Geodude in these runs but they never live long. Obly evolved one once haha. I was worried I over leveled, but it seems I didn't.
Thinking of waiting for Driftbloon to come around that one's cool and probably useful always a pain to fight. I'm not sure about Rose I like the evolution line a lot, but I do have Tort will have to see what I catch I suppose.

>No in battle items

Also GBA games in general I rarely burn-out on, having 1000% speed turbo and the games being much more involved makes them a lot easier to play for long stretches at a time imo. At least compared to the DS games onward where you have to stop every 5 minutes for a several minute long text-dump, and I can only turbo at like 150-200%

I tend to avoid having a full team at least before the first gym especially if I'm playing a game without an EXP share before that point because having 6 pokemon before then is just a lot for me. should i box some dudes for now and come back to use them later or should i grind them all to be generally around the same level?

You're certianly allowed to but I wouldn't. Platinum is a difficult Lock and I'd suggest you level any of them you decide to keep or think you MAY need. In my most recent Platinum Lock I was down to using Cleffa and Bibarell. I'd consider boxing Crescendo but that's just me I don't like Krikitune very much but the rest ofy oru team is solid so I'd grind them all up

It's pretty much always worth having a full team levelled up. You never know when you need a backup member. Even things you just keep around that you're not gonna use, or are just gonna use for deathfodder to get a clean switch, if it's levelled up enough to take an extra hit and get a move in first it can be huge.

But it does take a while. I honestly don't see anything wrong with cheating in Lucky Eggs or using an EXP multiplier cheat to skip the grind. As long as you're not overlevelling with it.
If anything it makes you weaker overall since you'll battle less wild Pokemon and have less EVs in total. But it's much less tedious and suicide-inducing

I can't believe I cleared Roark without a single death this time. Going from last time I knew that Onix would be a great help for the gym so I used the one I got. Only hiccup so far was missing out on the Route 207 catch because of a crit, but that is better than losing more than half of my team like last time.

>>46089548
>should i box some dudes for now and come back to use them later or should i grind them all to be generally around the same level?
I do the latter in the early game for Pokemon that don't have particularly high stats. For the ones that do have a high stat that is somewhat relevant to what I'm about to face (i.e. Onix's Defense vs Roark's gym) I tend to leave them a bit behind because grinding in the older gens is a bit of a pain in the ass. Most of the time I do try to keep everyone I'm using at around the same level though.

I have to say, I think the level cap at the Ace is too generous at least for this game. I only levelled two or three of my Mons up to 50 but I only needed one to sweep the whole Jim and the whole game has been this way. I think I'll keep trying the other games with this level cap to evaluate their individual difficulties and ideally find a comfortable level cap that either

pretty sure you gotta box her and it spreads when other pokemon are in the same box, if you leaver her in your party she gets cured (but keeps the effect!)

figured it out, boxing it keeps the strain but it wont spread, they have to be adjacent to an uninfected mon in the party to spread.

Olympus has fallen (I forgot he's super weak to fighting types and a random machoke used somethin I think where he takes a hit then returs the damage cuz I left hims at like 1 hp then he dropped Olympus from like full health)
So that suck, first actual bump in the run since I lost abra...Probably gonna bring Beedrill back desu (also fuck I have to grind a whole nother Mon up...and Olympus was kinda key to my whole run FUCK another example of 'should have switched out retard')

If possible, I always try to use some combination of hone claws/zoom lens/sure hit moves to overcome the accuracy penalty. It doesn't fix it but it helps
It's definitely useless on some mons though, I don't think I've ever used a togekiss in any of my runs because the togepi I get always has hustle

Yeah I know it... but what would the fun be if I didn't make stupid retard mistakes constantly while fighting low level enemies?
It's fucking funny in retrospect the ONE fucking random Mon that could even touch SnorHax fucked him up completely. If I was on my A-Game I would have recognized 'oh shit thats the ONE type of pokemon that can actually hurt me'
Oh well, it's over and I'm trying to make the best of it. Decided to pull Jen Lapras off the bench. She's similar to SnorHax in a lot of ways (obviously less Hax and worse overall but still) she can also bring Ice Beam to the team without me having to buy the TM (which means I can give Gengar Thunderboldt as well!)
She should help with Lance if nothing else, also in theory she should be able to go toe to toe with alakazam. Only needs to hit a Body Slam I should imagine.
Regardless I'm probably gonna pass out so that I don't loose Lapras to another stupid mistake. (These also become more common the later it gets)

Does everyone consider a wipe a game over? I actually like to continue until I'm out of mons, since it's even more challenging to play after a wipe (in which I assume your best mons died), since now you gotta use the shitmons instead.

No I think that as long as you have Mons in the box you SHOULD be able to continue
However
I'm often so frusterated after a wipe (not to mention now being at a sever disadvantage as most if not all of my strong Mons have just been lost) That I'll often start a new run anyways. I'm not sure I've ever won a game where I pulled a full team together after a wipe could be a hard challenge

I think it adds better stakes, and in harder games (which I exclusively play) you are bringing your best 6 mons for a fight you're wiping against anyway, so you'll just continue wiping until you completely die if you keep going

I wiped against Roark, and had to raise an entire new team to try again. I lost half of the new team (and encountered a shiny whilst grinding).

I don't know if I'll be able to continue effectively, as this first gym essentially left me with no backups, so I'll have to thread extra carefully for a while.

Do y'all always try to have six Pokemon on your team at all times? I've found it easier to run the early parts of most games with only the starter + 2/3 mons at most, only getting a full team around the 4/5th badges, when it's easier to keep the levels balanced without much grinding.

At least with Togekiss, it's a special attacker so the accuracy drop doesn't affect it. It's like not having an ability at all as opposed to one that hinders you, which is fine cause Togekiss is good enough to be useful even without one. But when I get it on something like Rattata, I have to be sacked with that shit. And cause I'm on a Stay hack, it feels like every single fucking time I get a Rattata, it has it. Why can't it just give me one with Guts?

I'll actually argue that while there isn't a TON there (and the exploding Weezings are awful RIP my Butterfree), it also has the single best grinding spot in the game, which is on One Island by the spa. Everything there gives amazing EXP and there's free healing right there.

Should I just impose a less strict level cap? Like ~10% of the gym leader's ace?
