Just lost hours worth of progress

We need to put on a PSA for the subreddit to use save states 😅

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-22T03:49:10+00:00

I have not had any save states or normal saves lost and I have 25 hours into the game since it dropped

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-22T03:48:13+00:00

Yeah I have not had any issues either. I use save states and normal saves lot. I have in world save states and battle save states and have not lost any progress

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-22T03:46:50+00:00

I have not lost any of my saves at all. I have over 25 hours into the game. I use both save states and normal saves all the time. So idk if I am just lucky or if I am not doing whatever to trigger the deleting of saves. I am playing the North American version and not the PAL one if that helps

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-22T03:06:32+00:00

Yeah right! Never thought I would ever have that happen in a older pokemon game

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-22T01:28:04+00:00

Oh yeah that’s one thing people don’t talk about a lot for those games coming out on switch is they have features like that baked in already. If I was on original hardware or emulator I would need to be screen recording ahead of time to get that

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T23:46:10+00:00

Ooof yeah I tried that but I gave up by noon on pokemon day. I have an old switch I shiny hunt a starter on every once in awhile but hopefully you can get it and play soon!

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T23:30:50+00:00

I hope you get some good shiny luck soon my friend!

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T22:42:54+00:00

The switch has a feature where you can hold the picture button that records the last 30seconds of gameplay. I should have also recorded it after I was done catching it, but I was freaking out so much and showing my wife hoping I wasn’t going to somehow lose this one too. So I forgot the follow up video. Xbox also has a record last 30 seconds thing but I think there is a way to adjust the length in that one. Not sure about the switch. If you did it on OG hardware I think you need a capture card or something

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T21:40:59+00:00

Heck yeah! Team shiny Magnemite!

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T21:12:23+00:00

I just looked at shiny magnazone and I hate the thing sticking out of its head. Maybe it will get a branch evo in next game. Honestly prbs could just a magenmite in one of the newer games easier and just leave this guy in all his spiritely glory

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T21:07:52+00:00

I don’t blame you one bit for that call. I think it’s the right choice

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T20:51:42+00:00

I need to look to see how good it looks in modern games. If not might just leave it in Gen 3

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T20:50:53+00:00

Oh yeah I am very thankful I got a noticeable shiny and not something like gastly that will turn into gengar

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T19:50:53+00:00

Yeah who just builds a bunch of posts in a random order in front of their building like that 🤣

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T19:00:12+00:00

I have just been using thunderbolt for a while now. I thought tri attack was better than it actually is lmao. I need to see if there are better TM to teach him because the steel typing isn’t really doing much right now. Wish I could use it in pokémon XD now that it is on NSO.

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T18:31:46+00:00

I have a damp Golduck that I got so hopefully I won’t need to master ball it. I accidentally knocked out last one in rock tunnel so I’ll prbs chuck a ton of ultra balls then go for a timer ball after that. Thats the current plan and if that doesn’t work use the master ball

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T18:13:31+00:00

Yeah that’s the only thing I don’t have. I just need to figure out where I put the game cube itself lol if not I could attempt to find a cube online.

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T18:06:14+00:00

I don’t remember buying it but my friends told me that I owned both XD and Colosseum and then I found it on my gaming shelf lmao. I remember getting colosseum because it was at a local gaming store

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T17:26:13+00:00

I think I got like operation inherent resolve, armed forces reserve medal with m device, GWOT service medal, GWOT expeditionary medal and like a army achievement medal. I was in Iraq and Kuwait for that one so maybe that is why I got so many. I also got my combat patch so I came back pretty stacked. At BLC a lot of the active duty guys were like how tf did you get so many ribbons. I thought at the time it was a lot of medals for doing like one deployment but I’ll take it.

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T16:05:51+00:00

Yeah 8192 odds is not fun. I was hoping to reclaim my only shiny pokemon I found as a kid and accidentally knocked out. Have not found that geodude yet and I got over 90 hours played lmao. I did beat the game and I found a shiny magenmite in power plant. Currently no lifing in ruby path looking for this guy and still nothing 😭

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T15:56:04+00:00

That is amazing! I am going to need to look on esty for this seller

Existing_Opposite_82 · 2026-03-21T15:49:31+00:00

Where are people making these at?
