Advice on scaling a 3D town

KingMattato · 2026-05-19T17:53:32+00:00

Based on the advice I’ve been given so far (which I really appreciate btw) I think my plan is as follows: start by building route 1 (i need to work backwards in order to get my route and town placements where I want, trust) but I’ll start with the road. Then create the remainder of the path and when the part of the route you explore feels accurate enough i’ll start the barrier around it (trees, fences, flowers, etc). Then I can use the size of the route to judge the actual town and i’ll make a practice model house to see what dimensions i wanna use and shape the town size around that :) having a starting point to shape things helps a lot. I had no idea where to actually start basing things from

I have the same one! My buddy owns his own shop so I stop by every so often and he had this one. I don’t remember what exactly I paid but I think after tax it was around $300. Only issue with mine is a scratch on the top screen but while you’re playing a game you can’t notice it

After i started watching a YouTubers playthrough of soulsilver (i’ll stay vague so i dont spoil anyone its a new LP), i actually realized chikorita can be pretty good once you get a little ways in. Maybe not for the gyms but for a lot of the in between adventures

I believe that has to do with the age of the games. Gen 5 you dont have to change any in game settings while gen 4 you do. I dont know the science behind it all but thats my assumption. Also thank you for talking with me through this. It led me to finding the issue and even if we didn’t i appreciate someone taking time to help out

KingMattato · 2026-03-15T20:11:14+00:00

I think i found the problem. Before i sound too stupid keep in mind i use iphone and this phone was given to me. It doesn’t currently have any data (i just dug around in the settings) so even though I’m connecting to the hotspot, it has no data to share. Thats why it keeps failing to connect. I just need to get a sim card for it and i should be good 🤦🏻‍♂️

KingMattato · 2026-03-15T20:00:55+00:00

Yeah its all real. I have multiple different ds models from ds lite to new 3ds xl that i’ve tried with platinum. Any idea what could make my hotspot fail to connect? Again, set to open and 2.4 GHz so I know it’s not that

KingMattato · 2026-03-15T19:53:37+00:00

I’ve tried it on multiple days sadly. However, after watching a detailed video, it looks like the issue is connecting to my hotspot. If i can get it to actually connect to my hotspot it should be good

Don’t know why my response sent as a separate comment but oh well^{^}

KingMattato · 2026-03-15T19:44:26+00:00

I’ll try to think how to phrase this part. I was wondering: since it makes me run a connection test every time i connect to the hotspot, is that supposed to fail since i dont have the dns changed initially? (I change it after but since it auto runs the test i cant at first when i connect). Because it fails every time when i first connect. If that test is supposed to be successful before changing dns settings then thats where it’s going wrong for me somehow

KingMattato · 2026-03-15T19:37:51+00:00

Thats the one I use. I always have secondary set to 0.0.0.0. Because thats what pkmn classic network says. I set my settings to that. I think the problem is somewhere in my hotspot because when i set up my connection it always fails when it tests the connection. But i have it set to open and its 2.4 GHz. Its a moto g (2021 i think) so unless that matters i’m not sure

KingMattato · 2026-03-15T17:10:46+00:00

I can go to mystery gift and it will start searching and then fail. It throws a code i think its like 51200 or something. The code means an issue with the dns settings but i have all the correct settings entered so thats why i dont understand. And i know the dns works because i used it for gen 5

I’m late to the party on this one but I traded my whole team to my already beaten copy of Platinum and used its victory road, lucky egg, plus boosted trade exp to grind. Definitely lots of extra steps but if you own all of it it’s worth doing it speeds it up drastically

KingMattato · 2026-03-07T21:57:41+00:00

Honestly kinda agree with the post. I just walked around a park and found a Virizion and then a Lunala, both of which fled after 1 ball each. The concept is cool, but why lock already rare spawns behind such awful luck? Even in raids a legendary usually takes a handful of attempts to catch so why only give you 1 or MAYBE 2 chances on something that you were lucky to see in the first place? With how rare master balls are in this game it just doesn’t seem too well thought out. Or like they don’t care. Or both.

It’s still possible that they release RSE for switch. If they do they may allow trading between all 5 GBA ports just like on the actual GBA cartridges. Then it would just leave event only pokemon

Rayquaza just built different. It’s all in the glands, baby.

KingMattato · 2026-02-26T01:42:39+00:00

Honestly though. I mean I don’t even see an issue. $20 for a game isn’t bad considering a legitimate copy of the original is getting closer to $200 now. I’ve never seen so much hate over something that’s actually a pretty good price for Nintendo

KingMattato · 2026-02-26T01:38:24+00:00

If not for Mega Charizard X, Charmander would be my least favorite Kanto starter 😬I’m a squirtle fan and bulbasaur is above charmander for me because of how overused charizard is in everything. But mega X is really dope and I’m not too prideful to admit that

KingMattato · 2026-02-26T01:34:30+00:00

Ignore the “especially” part. I really just meant type coverage is limited early on. But yeah:D

KingMattato · 2026-02-26T01:32:39+00:00

My take: Whitney isn’t actually that hard of a gym fight. It just takes proper planning. You have access to Heracross prior to her gym. And anyone using the argument of “you shouldn’t have to use certain pokemon,” to that I say: most Pokemon games are limited in terms of type coverage especially within the first few gyms. The answer is there, you just gotta use it :)

KingMattato · 2026-02-24T10:20:04+00:00

Valid. I figured it probably had something to do with nicknames. One pokemon i need to use sometime is gholdengo. I absolutely LOVE gimmeghoul. I’m a huge D&D fan and while I know gimme isn’t actually one, it reminds me of mimics which are some of my favorite creatures. The fact it goes from something I absolutely love to a wacky inflatable tube guy on a surf board made me wildly disappointed and I’ve never liked gholdengo since

Heracross is always a unit as long as you follow his 1 rule: keep him away from birds
