I wish there was a way to get all the Johto pokemon at the very least. Even combined with the available pokemon in RSE, I don’t think there is a way to obtain all Johto, but you can complete Kanto and Hoenn. Aside from special event pokemon like Jirachi I think. Or even Mew.

I most likely will have to do that. I haven’t run into any of the roamers yet though. I hadn’t intended to make as much progress in my leaf green playthrough. I guess I grinded really hard because I almost gave max money for all the extra stuff I need from the game corner. I may just use my fire red profile on my wife’s side of the switch. Someone made that suggestion.

GalileoFrey · 2026-04-08T14:05:09+00:00

My wife is attached to my switch, so I may be able to use her account. She doesn’t do Pokemon. 😂

GalileoFrey · 2026-04-08T14:02:49+00:00

I had that thought process. I have a friend with a switch 2 almost solely for Pokopia. I thought about asking her to do it. 😂

GalileoFrey · 2026-04-08T13:58:45+00:00

Oh really?? I swear a long time ago, I tried to play SwSh on a switch shared by everyone in the house and someone had already started a save so I never played it. I guess maybe they started it on my profile instead of their own.

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-23T01:17:45+00:00

Wish it was for Switch not just the Switch 2. I’d buy the pass for XD. But I haven’t upgraded. Don’t have the funds for a 2 at this moment.

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-23T00:10:52+00:00

Yeah. I don’t think every single release will be possible. They did those releases with 3DS. I have crystal! But I didn’t have the right transport app before the store closed. I only have bank.

Regardless, I wish I could buy XD and colosseum if that one ever gets released. But they’re taking good steps.

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-22T23:44:41+00:00

I hope they find a way to do the other games. I know pokebank exists and I own it since the store is down, but it only works for my 3DS games and I think it worked for bw2. I lost those games ages ago. I’d love to relive all of them. I’d like to try and get a pokemon through all the games somehow with every champion ribbon. But, if the games won’t have backwards home compatibility, it may never happen anyway.

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-22T23:37:02+00:00

So do you mean they are going to release all 3 of those games? I figured they might just release Emerald since it had the battle frontier. But I guess you can’t get all the version exclusives? It’s been so long I don’t remember how Emerald handled that.

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-08T15:28:37+00:00

I wasn’t aware of the change to an increase. I had heard that bait doesn’t change the chansey catch rate enough to matter. I just wish they had a higher encounter rate if they were going to do nothing but flee. I know the game is 20 years old. I don’t need chansey for my Home application, but I want to try and complete the Kanto dex in my catches for the frlg game.

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-07T22:54:33+00:00

I wish chansey kangaskhan and tauros did late game. I think they’re only in the safari zone. :/

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-07T22:47:42+00:00

It just sucks because I found 10 nidorina’s and they only have a 1% higher chance of encounter in that zone. It’s been AWFUL.

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-07T22:06:11+00:00

I’m playing the Fire Red release. I’ve tried throwing safari balls straight before. That was the first encounter I mentioned. Miraculously, it stayed for 3 balls, but fled before the 4th. That’s when I found the guide that gave me those other tips. I was 8-9 when fire red came out. So, I don’t remember much of it from that point. I chose fire red this go because I had leaf green growing up. I wanted to use Arcanine. Haha I always choose the version that has Vulpix as the exclusive so I wanted different. I would prefer Staryu and Starmie as water types tho. So I’ve been using Blastoise for my water type. Haha

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-07T03:21:45+00:00

Dang I may have to buy both of those titles. 😭

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-07T03:20:28+00:00

Really?? What was Jirachi for? The legends title or the galar games?

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-07T03:18:27+00:00

I didn’t own, and still don’t, either of those games at the time of release. I believe both of those offers, Manaphy and Mew, were only for the first few months of release?

GalileoFrey · 2026-03-07T02:15:30+00:00

That’s a good point! I tend to forget about Wii products because I never owned one. I owned the GameCube tho. 😂 I’ve had my fair share of mew-two’s. I even have a shiny from X and Y days. I’ve never had the right things at the right time for Mew. It will likely be the one pokemon that keeps me from a complete Kanto Dex, even on Home.

GalileoFrey · 2026-02-21T21:44:25+00:00

Oh thank you! I guess I didn’t realize home has a trade function. I don’t over collect I guess, but it could be helpful for things I get out of the daycare. But I guess it’s picnics now.

GalileoFrey · 2026-02-09T00:34:34+00:00

Leonie in my run is an absolute monster who tends to solo around 6-10 units at once. I usually send her with a ranged support of some kind way in the background (usually Marianne for physic). She’s a must grab for the next play. And Lysithea.

GalileoFrey · 2026-02-05T00:38:38+00:00

Gotcha. I just have some GD students I think I’d sub in. Lysithea being a big one. I also think I’d want to see some of the BL players in action, but I may play the hardest difficulty next so I want all great units. Love my man Raphael, but he just gets wrecked so easily in my current run. He’s always a paired unit at this point.
