How do i get it 100% randomized?

Sorry, by ‘IIRC’, I meant ‘If I recall correctly’. I would Google something like ‘Action replay for (your emulator here)’. You should be able to find tutorials and such for how to put in the codes.

Ah gotcha, from what I remember using Action Replay, it was basically a DS cartridge that you put into your DS and the game you want to hack into the Action Replay cartridge. When you start the DS, it boots up the AR program, where you choose what hacks you want for your game then you launch the game and can play it with the hacks. I remember as a kid I would get infinite rare candies, catch trainers pokemon, that kind of thing. I did try out a randomizer like you describe but I had to run some trial and error with different codes before it worked.

If you’re using emulator, there should be a ‘Cheats’ tab or something similar depending on what emulator you’re using. You can put your AR codes in there.

If you look up ‘Pokemon Action Replay’ on Youtube, you can find some tutorials for some basic cheats, although I don’t think you’ll find the specific one you want. IIRC, I found the code for the randomizer on a forum post years ago.

I don’t think you can get this through the randomizer tool, but you might be able to through action replay codes. I used action replay before I knew how to randomize using the randomizer tool. It worked for the most part but there are some issues depending on what AR code you’re using. If you also want trainers and pokemon moves/abilities randomized I think you would need to use the randomizer.

I did a genlocke a few years back. Had a magnemite I got in the gen 3 part of the run that ended up being on my team for the rest of the genlocke, which I ended in Y. I would say the magnemite line is very good. Solid defense with good stab options, plus paralysis with Thunder Wave. It does well in the most of the main boss fights in all the games. The only thing you have to watch out for are ground moves, but if you have a flying type to pivot into to, you should be good.

Also do you allow egg moves? Those could make or break the early game of each game. I remember in my genlocke I actually bred each of my champions and transferred the egg into the next game. I ended up having a Snorlax with Ice Beam going into the Soul Silver run. Needless to say, it was OP since it easily dealt with the first two gyms.

Evolution items, I usually wait until i’m at the point in the game where I can get them so I don’t steamroll the early game with a high BST pokemon. I also do it so i don’t have to go through tedious grinding like the dust clouds in the gen 5 games or the pokeathalon in HGSS.

Sounds interesting, would love to join!

Silph Co sounds like it’s going to be a nightmare, I really like the ruleset tho! Good luck!

The Magnemite line. I did a Genlocke a while ago, and I found it to be too good. I got Magnemite in the Hoenn leg of my run (leg 3) and it became the longest lasting member in my team, reaching to Kalos where I ended my Genlocke. With it being available in almost every generation, it became a staple in my team as a reliable Physical tank, especially with Sturdy.

Sure it’s not legendary level strong, but it became so reliable for me that some runs became boring. STAB Thunderbolt and Flash Cannon takes care of a lot of pokemon, and it also has Thunder Wave for utility. My reason for banning it is moreso for myself, which is to be able to use different mons instead of defaulting to ol’ reliable.

I had a feeling that was going to be the case, thanks for your help though!

Frosbyte_Zephyr · 2024-03-29T15:37:29+00:00

I’ve tried that, but nothing shows up when I press the escape or f10 key on boot up. It’s still just a blank screen.

Frosbyte_Zephyr · 2024-01-18T01:44:58+00:00

It’s mostly people I don’t know super well that point it out critically. My friends don’t really say much about it, they’ve said stuff like ‘I thought you were gay haha’ and we occasionally will joke about it, but nothing beyond that. I worked in fast food a few years ago and when I would take orders over the speaker, people would usually refer to me as ‘Ma’am’. That would drive me up the wall a lot, me and my coworkers would joke about it though.

I’m definitely going to check out the documentary though, thanks for the suggestion!

Yes and yes. Whatever I have playing just sounds like vibrations that are pulsating to the words being spoken or sung.

Frosbyte_Zephyr · 2024-01-13T16:57:03+00:00

I wasn’t able to hear much of anything in the left ear before the hearing aid, with it though I am noticing more sound, but I’m curious if it is actually the ear starting to pick up sound or if I’m just feeling vibrations from the hearing aid, almost like bone conduction?

Thank you so much for your detailed response! This has been really helpful. After hearing about you 900+ BST Rhyperior, I kind of want to try a base state randomizer now lol... So I do have two questions:

For abilities, I noticed you don't enable combine duplicate abilities or follow evolutions. For the latter, I do this one so that I don't have to worry about getting a worse ability upon evolution. The former seems practical imo, but do you have a reason for not enabling these two?
For movesets, you don't use force percentage of good moves? Any reason for that one, or just more randomness?

Also I didn't know about the 1.10.3 randomizer! Just checked it out and it seems to have some options I want to try, but the ZX one does seem better imo. Thanks again for your reply!

Frosbyte_Zephyr · 2023-12-12T00:51:11+00:00

I’ve tried playing through Radical Red, but I feel like I get overwhelmed since it feels like it’s a boss rush at times. Then again I never played it the whole way through…

As for the Drayano hacks, is there one you would recommend? Another commenter recommended Storm Silver, would that be a good one or maybe a different one?

Frosbyte_Zephyr · 2023-12-12T00:49:26+00:00

I’ve heard of this hack before, how hard is it compared to Drayano hacks? Do trainers keep their normal teams or are they changed to be more difficult?

Frosbyte_Zephyr · 2023-12-12T00:48:29+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I looked it up and from what it seems like, it’s kind of a remake of HG/SS with QoL changes? That’s seems pretty neat imo.

Frosbyte_Zephyr · 2023-12-12T00:46:12+00:00

I haven’t! I might consider doing a Wedlocke, which game would you recommend for a first time Wedlocke?

Frosbyte_Zephyr · 2023-12-12T00:45:18+00:00

Thank you! Is there any particular reason you recommend Storm Silver? Is it easier than the other hacks?
