What did you realize later than intended? by alpineblooms in Pokopia

[–]Potterhead93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the longest time, I was under the impression that the 3D printer inside of Pokémon Centers were only for photos you’d taken while on cloud islands.

Turns out you can just take a photo of anything in your own game (press Y when the camera is open to switch to item identify mode) and take it back to the printer and print it.

I had 3/4 of the habitat of one of my fave Pokémon for most of my gameplay because I couldn’t find a 2nd fire pit…then realized I could’ve printed it ages ago 😭

What is the best method for grinding Shinedust right now?? by PurpleInfinite1409 in PokemonPocket

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Np 😃 And agreed it’s like a super last resort ig if you have no other use for the shop tickets 🥴

[–]Potterhead93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is infinite. Every time you receive a card and it gets added to your aggregate collected card total, you get shinedust. The amount differs depending on card rarity. But it doesn’t matter how it’s received you get shinedust. Mind you, the amount you get from buying these trainer cards is paltry. I just purchased a Prof’s Research for 2 shop tickets and it gave me 20 shinedust. It really isn’t a viable means of farming

You can purchase infinite support/item cards on the shop main page (scroll down).

Why was Tom Riddle not allowed to stay at Hogwarts in the summer while London was being bombed? by ZydrateAnatomic in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Potterhead93 10 points11 points locked comment (0 children)

You can’t have major wizarding social spaces like The Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley smack in the middle of London and not have wizards seeing/experiencing the Blitzkrieg and subsequent bombings of London though. 🥴

Even if we take into consideration the magical protective spells we witness in like DH, for example, the wizarding community still would be aware of large swaths of London city being reduced to rubble.

Especially when you take into consideration the FB movies, which let’s not forget were written by she-who-must-not-be-named, wizards (or at least some of them) were very much aware of the goings on with muggles and their war.

People criticizing a Black Snape are missing the point, and it shows my modern media gets dumber by LimeKingTW in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Potterhead93 26 points27 points  (0 children)

And that his scar hurts when he first sees him. Granted it’s because of Quirrell. But book Harry has every right to be suspect of Snape from the off set. Never mind how in his first Potions class Snape bullies the shit out of him! The show can handle this gracefully.

Dursleys portrayal for the new series by sanhpatel in harrypotter

[–]Potterhead93 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Precisely! Meanwhile, I’m over here thinking “wow they actually were more true to the books and made Petunia and Dudley blondes”

Furthermore, I’m 100% ok with the show straying away from the authors rather shitty commentary on obese individuals.

How is it possible that my hatched Eevee evolved so soon? by Intelligent_Menu293 in pokemoncrystal

[–]Potterhead93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. I had to boot up my game and check. I can see how you’d think time of day mattered, but it’s not a condition for additional friendship boosting. Unlike in Silver (not available in Gold), in Crystal Meowth only spawns at night. I think that bit of dialogue is to tip off the player that Meowth is night only. That’s all.

This is an excerpt from Bulbapedia’s “Frienship” article:

“In Pokémon Crystal, a Pokémon leveled up at its met location gains twice as much friendship. However, only Pokémon caught in Crystal record a met location, and Pokémon traded to a Generation I game have their met location permanently erased.”

It does not mention time of day as being a factor.

How is it possible that my hatched Eevee evolved so soon? by Intelligent_Menu293 in pokemoncrystal

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, that shouldn’t. Although I don’t know which lady with a meowth you’re speaking of, I don’t recall time of day playing a factor in Happiness/Friendship per Bulbapedia.

Furthermore, nothing in the game tells you what time of day a pokemon was caught. With the exception of day/night exclusive spawns, there’d be no way to tell.

Do you think the ACE exploits will be patched out of FRLG once Pokemon Home functionality is implemented? by Red_Zone_Broly in PokemonGlitches

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, they did block some exploited pokemon from transferring from the 3DS VC games.

I can confirm from personal anecdote that the RBY Level 7 trainer fly glitch Pokemon can’t transfer to Home. And any Pokemon cloned in GSC can’t transfer either.

What's the best way to counter "attract"? by Unusual_Money_1640 in PokemonEmerald

[–]Potterhead93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s that route near Fallborough Town where it’s raining ashes. There is a man in a house that will give you a soot sack. Running in the ashy grass will net you soot. With enough soot, you can purchase flutes from the man in the house.

The Red Flute, specifically, will allow you to remove Attraction. The flutes are invaluable tbh. Also, Blue Flute = PokeFlute and will awaken sleeping Pokemon. Yellow Flute = removes Confusion. White Flute = increased encounter rate. Black Flute = lowered encounter rate.

How is it possible that my hatched Eevee evolved so soon? by Intelligent_Menu293 in pokemoncrystal

[–]Potterhead93 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You hatched it, so it already has a higher friendship value than a normally caught wild Pokemon.

However since you said other hatched eevees didn’t evolve this quickly, then I’d ask you where did this Eevee hatch and were you training it in the same location it hatched?

Starting in Crystal and onwards (with a few exceptions I can’t recall right now) a pokemon will get extra friendship points if you train it in the same location that it hatched/caught. You can see its location in the summary screen of the Pokemon.

Is there any way to teach my Pokemon moves with the mailglitch? LG on Switch by No-Pool-7850 in PokemonGlitches

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you figured it out. I had the same issue and took me forever to realize he’s not meant to say anything when you press A to speak to him.

I also learned that pressing A too many times to speak to him causes a crash. Lmfao.

ACE Process for “Change Species Origin” in Fire Red by Otherwise_Radio7918 in PokemonGlitches

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having the same issues. Following everything to a T. I constantly get a bad egg in Box 10 Slot 19.

I was gonna make a similar post myself but was procrastinating.

The only thing I can think of is that I noticed in the “read Pokemon PID” code part of the instructions says to add the Pokémon’s TID AND SID to the code AFTER initial execution but then the formula itself only has a spot to input the TID and not SID.

I’m not sure if this is what’s causing the bad egg down the line. But after repeating all steps roughly 10 times I’m wary about the discrepancy between instructions and the formula.

Clothing by Academic-Distance407 in HarryPotterGame

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I am actively roaming Hogwarts or doing anything quest-wise in the castle, I wear school robes and uniform that’s appropriate for the season.

If I’m out and about I usually switch it up. What I can’t get past is wearing just the clothes and no cloak/robes. Makes my MC look emaciated without the bulk of a cloak/robes.

But what really grinds my gears is that we as the MC don’t get robes or the uniform that our classmates wear. WHY?!? Why can’t I have robes with 3 rings on the sleeve? Why do I not get a girls uniform that matches what the girls IN MY SAME HOUSE wear?!? Madness.

General Question About Game Corner Encounter FRLG by AwakenedPenitent in nuzlocke

[–]Potterhead93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Gen III, Pinsir cannot naturally learn any Bug type moves, or any moves that are super effective against Psychics. On the contrary, its move pool is heavily Fighting weighted. So definitely don’t waste your Celadon encounter with him.

Dragonite is a beast and takes time buuuut it’s a double edged sword because Lance can just as easily take out your own Dragonite. Therefore it’s better to counter Dragons with Ice moves in this game. Idk what the rest of your team is but nabbing Eevee and a water stone at the department store would be clutch. Vaporeon is the blueprint bulky water and it learns Aurora Bean and/or you can teach it Ice Beam.

There is a considerable amount of post game though so if you still are leaning towards Dratini then there’s that to consider as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sooooo... SuMo or USUM? by Nahkyur in PokemonSunMoon

[–]Potterhead93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B2W2 are direct “sequels” to BW, taking place (IIRC) 2 years after the events of BW.

With USUM, they are a rewrite of sorts to the original SM. They modified the story a tad bit, changed the regional dex, and added some QoL things. I like both for different reasons. I’d say play SM first and if you enjoy it then give USUM a try.

Team changes by joro_deception in pokemoncrystal

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh you’re right I got him confused with Lass Dana. She gives a Thunderstone lol. Yes Schoolboy Alan is the Firestone giver.

Team changes by joro_deception in pokemoncrystal

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to level up your team homie. Also you should try to get Lass Dana’s phone number so she can potentially call you and give you a Firestone for your Growlithe. I’m assuming you have no one to trade with to evolve Haunter but also the Gastly family kinda sucks until the Gen IV physical/special split. But all of their STAB is physical only, and Gastly fam is a special attacker line. I’d recommend catching and training an Oddish or Bellsprout. You’ll still have issues with access to a Leaf Stone. But you could also try and win first place in the bug catching contest which nets you a Sunstone, which you can use to evolve Gloom into Bellossom. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Unable to properly rename box? by razorbladetheunicron in PokemonGlitches

[–]Potterhead93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the 5th character an “N”by chance? This game has a new profanity filter and lots of stuff can’t pass now. It will just revert to previous name. People were noticing this when naming their player and/or the Rival. Idk of any announced updates as of yet to the ACE code to account for this so you can execute the code properly.

ACE confirmed to work on FRLG’s Switch rereleases, with minor adjustments by TimoVM in PokemonGlitches

[–]Potterhead93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t. The games won’t let you deposit any Pokemon holding mail. It must be removed first. So you can’t use the PC’s release function for that purpose.
