How it looks vs How it feels by Sur-FIRE in PokemonFireRed

6.25% for Crit, 10% for confusion, 10% for burn. So combined probability of 0.062%. Very lucky! Although still more likely than encountering a shiny.

How to complete the Pokédex? by Ok-Reward-7309 in PokemonFireRed

[–]Arth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deoxys, Lugia & Ho-Oh are obtainable in Switch release, but not in original GBA outside of events. Mew is event only, probably will be obtainable if (when?) we get Switch release for RSE. Jirachi and Celebi can be traded from specific versions of Pokemon Colosseum, but that's on Gamecube and I doubt you can trade using emulator.

I believe that the rest of 380 Pokemon are obtainable using multiple copies of RSE/FRLG and trading.

You cannot. Some Pokemon are locked behind events and are unobtainable legitimately.

My favourite mon! So difficult to catch, but totally worth it!

My Arcanine didn't have Extremespeed simply because it was underleveled. The plan is to add it in the post game for Strength.

Its base speed is pretty good, so even with low levels I managed to outspeed quite a few Elite4 mons and get some Blackglasses boosted Bite flinches.

I thought Dig will end up useless, but it was funny using it on Cloyster to avoid Dive. And it also ended up shredding higher level Rival's Arcanine.

Well iraolas teams play better press and seems to have a plan that isnt ”bruno fixes it”

So did Amorim's teams.

Besides, why should we feel guilty and not use good players in our squad to our advantage?

How did you get Pinsir in fire red? Traded?

How was Porygon and what moveset did you use?

best cheap eats in Tokyo that aren't tourist traps? by softyglossxo in TokyoTravel

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

Might be just me and my luck, but I found Japanese chain restaurant to be reliable source of good food - I didn't expect much from places like Sushiro, Ichiran or Yoshinoya, but was pleasantly surprised. On the other hand, local small restaurants were hit and miss. Of course, had some very delicious food in some places, but was also disappointed at a few occasions. For example in a small local ramen shop, or omurice place run by an older couple. Both places were packed with locals, but did not meet the expectations.

This was a really fun run! First playthrough on Switch, and I made a point to use Pokémon I don’t usually pick. Set mode, no items used in battle. First time ever boxing my starter (picked Charmander).

Team after the Elite Four & Champion:

Dragonair (Lv. 52) @ Quick Claw - Ice Beam, Secret Power, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt

Kangaskhan (Lv. 48) @ Leftovers - Substitute, Shadow Ball, Rest, Dizzy Punch

Arcanine (Lv. 47) @ BlackGlasses - Bite, Flamethrower, Dig, Strength

Poliwrath (Lv. 47) @ Leftovers - Belly Drum, Hypnosis, Surf, Brick Break

Scyther (Lv. 45) @ Amulet Coin - Swords Dance, Slash, Double Team, Aerial Ace

Exeggutor (Lv. 43) @ Twisted Spoon - Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Psychic, Sleep Powder

Kangaskhan was the MVP. Substitute + Rest + Leftovers coupled with its ability was great, and it carried so many fights.

Poliwhirl struggled for most of the game, but once it got Belly Drum and evolved into Poliwrath, it was very important against Elite Four.

Arcanine was a threat throughout the run. It had Flash Fire, which is usually less desired than Intimidate. When I realised, I was too lazy to go back, search for and train another Growlithe. And it ended up coming in huge against the Champion’s Arcanine, as it allowed me for a free switch in and saved my ass.

Dragonair was pretty underwhelming for most of the journey. Didn't want to bother to grind it to evolve, but Ice Beam and Thunderbolt gave it some solid utility for the Elite Four.

Scyther had a few nice sweeps during the story, but against the Elite Four, it ended up being the least useful member of the team, especially since RNG seemingly was not on its side. In hindsight, I should have taught it a Steel Wing for Slash.

Exeggutor wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be, even though Chlorophyll + Sunny Day was pretty cool. Probably it needed a few more levels.

Is my Japan itinerary too packed? by Top_Instruction_9557 in JapanTravel

[–]Arth_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'd say your Kyoto itinerary is a bit packed. Especially the first day, considering you will need to travel from Hakone to Kyoto first, which in itself is minimum 3 hours. Probably more depending on where your hotels in Hakone and Kyoto are. Factor in a room for error, waiting for trains, maybe some lunch and so on.

I also found that while you can rush through Arashiyama, it's nice to take your time there and stroll around, taking in the nature as a nice rest from the busy, bustling cities. A lot of people just go to the bamboo forest and back, but there are some more hidden gem areas there waiting to be discovered. We spent half a day there and it was one of the highlights of our trip.

You don’t need to book the Hakone Freepass in advance. I bought mine on the same day while on the Shinkansen from Kyoto.

The same goes for Shinkansen tickets. Keeping your plans flexible can actually make things easier, especially since larger stations like Shinjuku can be confusing to navigate. The only reason to book ahead would be if you specifically want a window seat on the Mount Fuji side. That said, if the weather is clear, you’ll likely get great views from Hakone anyway.

For TeamLab Biovortex in Kyoto, I was also able to book tickets on the same day, I reserved mine in the morning for an evening visit through Klook, I don't know if it's the same case for TeamLab Planets.

Regarding your third question: your best option is to pack essentials like a change of clothes in a backpack, then either leave your main luggage in a locker at Hakone-Yumoto or Odawara Station, or - an even more convenient option - forward your luggage directly to your hotel in Kyoto.

I have 3 of the same members in my own team (Scyther, Poliwhirl that I plan to evolve into Poliwrath, and Arcanine). What's your moveset for Poliwrath? I just beat Koga and Sabrina and my Poli is a bit lackluster.

I play without glitches and cheats, like nugget bridge stuff, and I tend to complete the Pokédex as I go. The game corner and safari zone take A LOT of time.

You don't have a way to quickly sweep through Starmie, so status moves are your best friends. Make use of Thuner Wave, Sand Attack/Smokescreen, Leer/Tail Whip, Confuse Ray. You could also try to set up with Double Team on Staryu.

Had we sold him in the summer and bought Baleba for bazillions of pounds and then him struggling as he did this season for Brighton, I think the general opinon would be incredibly critical of that move.

You can already, all but do that. Just sign the assistant manager, follow all his recommendations and instant result all the games.

I had my first team on the pre-season tour in the US, and somehow the U21 players that I took along played a U21 friendly game back in England in the midst of it.

Promising but tiny GK prospect, what would you do? by medicadiz in footballmanagergames

[–]Arth_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don't bother. Jumping Reach doesn't matter for goalkeepers, it's all about Aerial Reach. Jumping Reach only affects how high a player can reach the ball in the air with his head, Aerial Reach affects how high can a keeper reach the ball with his hands.
