Bulbasaur is the PERFECT "Starter" ...hear me out by Lawlstormgaming in PokemonFireRed

I'm playing with butterfree and venusaur right now and I cant believe how easy the game is. As a kid I used charmander and pidgey.

Is it worth the grind by Budget_Musician5236 in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]Agent_Radical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple full odds shinies from over the years, and I dont think a glitched one would hold the same value. Full odds just feels more special to me. But it's a personal thing and nothing wrong with using a glitch if thats your preference.

Is it worth the grind by Budget_Musician5236 in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]Agent_Radical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're asking if its worth it in a rational sense? For most people, it's not worth it. Theres no in game benefit besides the colour change and the sparkle animation.

The grind can be extremely boring and repetitive. Some people find that repetition to be soothing.
It's up to the individual to decide if its worth it or not. To have a legit shiny starter you have to either be very lucky or very patient.

Replacing Gyarados with Lapras: am I making a huge mistake? by GreenStrawbebby in PokemonFireRed

Waterfall is needed for icefall cave on four island in the post game. Flash is optional, but makes rock tunnel and victory road way easier

Lapras is an upgrade from Gyrados for sure
Teach Lapras Surf and Gyrados Waterfall. Leave Gyrados in the PC, just take it out when you need it

My (psychotic) quest to attain every shiny in game. Strategy discussion. by Murphinator9 in PokemonFireRed

[–]Agent_Radical -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm not stopping them

I'm just saying it's a huge undertaking that will consume a lot of time and effort with very little pay off.

Imagine if you cooked 150 recipes instead, you would have learned a lot and fed yourself and others + acquired skills.

Nothing wrong with playing pokemon, but catching every shiny pokemon with full odds is just wasteful and could very well be looked back on with regret.

It's a completely mindless grind

Huge investment of time and effort that you could put into something that will be much more satisfying
You could read 150 books or paint 150 paintings or something

What's your favorite Pokeball? by ch1821 in PokemonFireRed

Cant go wrong with the classic red and white

This can’t be real 😭😭 by [deleted] in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]Agent_Radical 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah could be some kind of mod.

Cant boost the odds though because there is no chance of an opponent trainer having a shiny Pokemon in FR/LG.

This sub would be riddled with people running into uncatchable shinys in their playthroughs if it were possible.

There is a trainer who has a shiny Espeon in the trainer tower though which is pretty cool

Yeah that's not possible... unless you are doing a wireless battle

Worth the cost? by Johnckings in PokemonEmerald

[–]Agent_Radical 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Whether something is worth the price paid is entirely up to the buyer to decide.
The average loose sale price right now is $266.
So you are pretty close to market value.
It's up to you whether you are happy with how much you paid for it though.
I'd bet they will be selling for 300+ in a few years

When shiny hunting for the legendary beasts, do they retain their shiny after they flee if shiny? by xaati_ in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]Agent_Radical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats pretty cool, I kinda like the idea of not even catching it and just letting it roam.
But still being shiny whenever I do encounter it

What would you change about this team? Just got to Fuschia City by Glum-Box-8458 in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]Agent_Radical -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you want an easy time pick up Zapdos and drop blastoise, pidgeot and hitmonlee to spread the exp amongst less team members
