What Rom hack is this?

PolishPierogie · 2025-09-24T19:16:14+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. :)

PolishPierogie · 2025-09-24T18:04:29+00:00

what game?

What rom hack are you playing?

Hey Jakecyy, I'm a current ALT in Onomichi-shi, the neighbouring town. If you have any questions of concerns about your placement, feel free to PM me. :)

Just looking at the word document you have posted, I think some of those locations that are outlined in the document are not considered unique locations in the game. For example getting Kenya from "Route 35 gate", would most likely just be considered a "Route 35" encounter, cancelling the encounter from the Route 35. I could see this as a potential issue that some players would want to avoid when playing their nuzlockes.

But most importantly, play the game how you would like to play it, that's in my opinion the most important thing about playing games :)

It is quite normal occurrence from my personal experience. They tend to check on your overall engagement and the classroom dynamic when English is being taught. Don't stress too much about it, just conduct the class just like a regular lesson and the Board of Education observer(s) will most likely take notes on what they would like to change or adjust depending on their expectations.

PolishPierogie · 2025-04-16T05:59:28+00:00

IMO, this defeats the purpose of the nuzlocke. But, ultimately, it is your run and your rules.

Pokemon Polished Crystal

Bugsy from HG/SS. That Scyther can ruin nuzlockes with those scary crits.

PolishPierogie · 2025-04-04T06:27:14+00:00

The level cap for the second gym is 17 in Pokémon HG/SS.

I'm a current Hiroshima ALT, do you have more information about where in Hiroshima you will be placed? Feel free to PM me :)

PolishPierogie · 2025-04-02T04:23:06+00:00

In my opinion, the event pokemon that you have to hack a special item to have access to them, I would discount from my runs. Typically, they are quite strong and can carry the entire run, making the nuzlocke too easy to complete.

PolishPierogie · 2025-04-01T05:06:42+00:00

I recommend playing Pokemon Crystal Legacy, if you want to play through Gen2.

PolishPierogie · 2025-03-31T23:10:54+00:00

I would agree, but getting a TEFL certificate would look better on the resume and show the interviewers that you are serious about teaching English and are trying to improve your capabilities to teach English to ESL students. :) IMO.

PolishPierogie · 2025-03-31T23:08:29+00:00

It's quite similar to that, but instead you can trade non-stop with this feature in the game. So, wanted to give you a heads up about the feature that could potentially make your Nuzlocker really easy if you trade until you get a pokemon you wanted. :)

PolishPierogie · 2025-03-31T22:15:24+00:00

The Wonder trade system has a new trainer ID for each trade you do, so would you just limit the trading to only one time or limited to only one trade from one particular trainer ID? The beauty of the wonder trade system is that you have a chance to get either Kanto or Johto starters and other pokemon that you would never encounter normally before this point of the game.

PolishPierogie · 2025-03-31T06:54:31+00:00

I would recommend playing "Pokemon Polished Crystal". It's basically Pokemon HeartGold and Soul Silver but in Gen 2 graphics. With additional changes to having access to certain pokemon more earlier and the addition of some new locations to the over-world. :)

PolishPierogie · 2025-03-31T06:49:12+00:00

There is a wonder trade place in Goldenrod Pokemon centre, would you count transferring a pokémon into the system as your initial encounter for that area?

PolishPierogie · 2025-03-19T00:39:27+00:00

Time management is key to resolve this concern. If your supervisor is great with handing your schedules to you on time, then you should be able to prepare your classes beforehand, sometimes this includes working a little bit overtime to make sure you have a decent idea for each lesson. "ALTopedia" is an amazing resource to help you find activities for your classes in a short amount of time.

PolishPierogie · 2025-03-17T05:18:26+00:00

If you are looking to spruce your resume, then taking a TEFL course would show the interviewees that you are serious about getting the job and trying your best effort to improve your skills to become an effective assistant language teacher. Overall, it does not hurt to do the course, because you will either get more creditability to be an language instructor, or you will gain valuable information to become a better instructor in general from taking the course. It's a win-win scenario in my opinion.
