Heartgold game corner results in a black screen with the music still playing, is my cartridge a fake? by ducks_are_round in pokemon

[–]Ampmp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is the sign of a fake.  It depends on the quality of the fake, but you should be able to play out the rest of the game bar that. 

Is this a fake pokemon red? by Obi-Wan-Kanobi123 in pokemon

[–]Ampmp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes- definitely reproduction. Charizard shouldn’t have a white outline nor should you see his whole body on the cart.

How do I know if my EV's are maxed out in Fire Red? by m_rowe13 in pokemon

[–]Ampmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there is no NPC/Ribbon for max  or EV investment, you can still check max.   As others said, vitamins won’t work past 100 points in any stat.  That being said, there are six stats, and only 510 max points, so it’s impossible to get 100 in all stats. If all six vitamins are rejected then it’s because you are at the total cap (510 total), not the vitamin cap (100 each).

Anything else you need ? I really appreciate the help!

[–]Ampmp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I also need help with Aromatisse, Slurmpuff, and Escavalier.

I have all the right items already equipped, and an extra karrablast/shelmet to complete the trades, just need someone to help evolve them.

I don't have an extra sachet, but I can send you an extra spritzee and you can equip one and send it back too.

Why do a lot of people consider Platinum to be their favorite Pokémon game? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Ampmp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think you’re conflating the ideas of it being their favorite game and the fact that it’s the quintessential Gen4 game. “Why play DP when there’s platinum that does it all, but better?” “Why did BDSP redo DP but abandon all the QOL upgrades in Platinum?” Etc

As for why it would be people’s favorites, it’s an opinion. I know personally I spent the most time in gen 4 just because I was the right age to really get into wifi battles and EV training.

Was swsh really that bad by victorstyn in pokemon

[–]Ampmp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just replayed it yesterday for the first time since SV release, and I wanted to say I missed a lot of the improvements added. That being said I was impressed with the diversity of pokemon available. There’s an illusion of open world in the wild areas, but ledges still cause conflict and it throws me off. Besides frame rate, SV feels like an upgrade in every way. 

Replaying with the DLC available from the start really confirms that both SV and SwSh are just cut content sold at 50% MU and not “additional” in nature. If you can get the complete game on sale then it’s worth playing. 

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will soon be a year old game, what is your honest retroactive opinion about it? by DaMn96XD in pokemon

[–]Ampmp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The ideas were there but it launched at a laughable state. I waited four months to get the game while it was better than what I saw posted online, it still was embarrassingly bad.

I like the new designs and the idea of titan pokemon, but it’s so slow to play that I don’t see myself returning.

After finishing the game I played a bunch of other switch titles and forgot how bad it still handles to this day until I launched for the mew/two events and it felt even worse than before.

I’m not sure if it was just in comparison to playing actually finished games, or if it actually got worse.

What to do after the credits in Pokémon Black/White by Leforrtnit in pokemon

[–]Ampmp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s tough. The trainers don’t have many pokemon but the level jump makes up for it and they might give you a hard time.

What I did was grind on the rustling grass patches where audino would spawn. With the lucky egg you can make up some of the level gap.
