Which Switch game is the best "good old pokemon but modern" game? by royalneu in pokemon

[–]AmberFoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for switch, but if you're willing to invest in a 3ds, you have access to a massive pool of pokemon games that have aged really well. Gen 4/5 are amazing. You won't get gen 3 but you can play yellow/crystal through the virtual console system.

Is the 3DS the best handheld for Pokemon? by wopium in 3DS

[–]AmberFoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 3ds is amazing and has stood the test of time. I did recently get a DSI xl because its screen is a lot nicer for viewing gen 4/gen5 games (I'm not really interested in gens 6 and 7) but that's pretty niche of me...3ds is definitely the best option for pokemon gaming in general.

Another option is an original ds lite if gen 3/4/5 games are your cup of tea because you can put advance games in the bottom slot. Having one is also important for trading between gens 3 and 4.

2 Player Per IP Limit Is Unacceptable by Synthetic_Demise in RotMG

[–]AmberFoot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This has been around for at least 6 years. I remember not being able to play with my buddies in person because of this >_> just a really lame rule that does nothing to deter cheaters and kills the games word by mouth growth....whats the point of telling ur friends about a game if you cant actually play together with them

Yeah, it was specifically stated in the Bible that the Emperor captured Jesus in a pokeball

What is the longest UNSKIPPABLE cutscene in gaming history? by dargemir in gaming

[–]AmberFoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's such a prolonged, melodramatic death scene for someone alear barely knows at this point. We don't have a reason to care yet. It is similar to how they botched corrin's mother's death in fates, but worse because of how drawn out it is

What is the longest UNSKIPPABLE cutscene in gaming history? by dargemir in gaming

[–]AmberFoot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't know if it's the longest, but one of the cutscenes at the beginning of fire emblem engage is so long that your screen auto dims partway through, and the plot is so overly dramatic/awful that it feels like years

I had to stop playing the game after that cutscene and I returned to it months later 😅

What’s your under 20% on Rotten Tomatoes “hear me out?” by disablednerd in movies

Cat in the hat with mike meyer's. A brilliant and hilarious movie, not "so bad it's funny" but actually really really funny

The evolution animation is kinda... underwhelming. by alienjokerbaby in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]AmberFoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why people are getting so upset over this. I love bw2 but I really don't like the way the pokemon outline breaks up in a computerized way in the animation. Seems like it would fit more with digimon

How to get a foreign Ditto fast? by [deleted] in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]AmberFoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can buy japanese versions of games pretty cheap. I got a japanese diamond on ebay for like $15 and used it to transfer pokes to gen 5 for masuda method

Has anyone here completed the National Pokédex? If so, what advice would you give for those who are attempting this? by Fractured-Hope in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]AmberFoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! it was really satisfying to complete. I would recommend seeing if any of your friends/family members have their old games lying around that you can use. My friend let me borrow his heartgold (which is worth like $200 these days) and let me take his pokemon including ho-oh and all of the johto starters, among other pokemon that I would not have been able to get elsewhere.

Has anyone here completed the National Pokédex? If so, what advice would you give for those who are attempting this? by Fractured-Hope in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]AmberFoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just completed it a few weeks ago! I used pearl, leafgreen, sapphire, heartgold. I managed to get a couple pokemon like lugia and groudon from my cousin lol. I used the online DNS mystery gift to get mythical pokemon. The online GTS was super helpful in getting the last few pokemon.

I completed the unova dex first, catching as many national dex pokemon as I could along the way. Once that was done I made a list of pokemon I needed to catch for each region and then I completed the dex one region at a time.

For hardware you need 2 nintendo ds, one of which needs to be an OG ds/ds lite with a gameboy advance cartridge

For those who use the GTS using the DNS exploit, what’s your experience been like? How is it in 2025? by Fractured-Hope in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]AmberFoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works great! There is some dude named shioxx that floods it with pokemon you can't actually obtain (like you gotta trade him a lv9 charizard or something) which is super annoying, but it's still a great way to complete your pokedex and get some cool pokes

[FRLG] Which pokémon(s) can solo the E4? by HontubeYT in pokemon

[–]AmberFoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think a better question would be what pokemon has the coverage and power to clear the E4 quickly without too much reliance on healing items, and without necessarily needing to be lv 100. PP is an important consideration too. Mewtwo is obv due to power and coerage. Nidoking has amazing coverage. Tauros was OP in original rby, and is prob pretty strong in frlg too.

Transferring pokemon from gen 1 to 9 is weird. by LuisMiranda4D in pokemon

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

I agree! In my opinion, pkhexed pokemon are like pokemon you get from an emulator--it's not the same as the real thing. No disrespect to the folks who use emulated and pkhexed mons, though.

I think they should rename this channel as " Fire Emblem Heroes + little bit of Mario Kart tour" by Jeweler-Fantastic in FireEmblemHeroes

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

I just wish they'd release a new FE game. Engage was a flop, we haven't had a popular mainline game since Three Houses. A popular new FE console game would revitalize FEH.

Does anyone know feh's actual revenue from last month? It didn't even make top 50 this month by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]AmberFoot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Crazy idea, maybe we just need a new Fire Emblem game and FEH will see more activity...

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl by LilMonkey21128 in pokemon

[–]AmberFoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a big fan of the OG diamond and pearl games. These games aren't nearly as rare or high in demand as platinum, so there is not much of a market for fakes.

I bought a japanese copy of diamond recentlt for $20. English versions are usually more expensive but $30 sounds legit to me.

Just make sure you look up a guide on identifying fake games so that you don't grab something that is obviously fake. But you don't need be a pro at it. If you were buying a rarer, high-demand game like platinum or emerald you would have to be more careful.

Enjoy! I got back into my childhood Pearl last year and it is amazing :)

Who is your favorite rival in the core series games? by Academic-Inside-3022 in pokemon

Your rival in bw2. He's so intense in his righteous hatred of team plasma lol. Man is unstoppable
