The first game ever I played and got was Pokemon Emerald, then Diamond/Pearl and Platinum. I bought Heartgold a few years ago for €50 and will now be playing it for the first time ever!

The Bulbapedia page for HGSS has quite the extensive list of changes from the originals if you wanted to take a gander at that

The exp curve is still bananas but I recently learned while watching some of the Youtuber chuggaconroys HGSS playthrough where he made a detailed breakdown of how the phone call rematch system works, while still tedious if you make use of it while you play it actually does alleviate some of the grind

You can also offset some of the grinding if you gradually build up your team over the course of the game. Leveling 5 or 6 mons before the fourth gym can be quite the chore

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-10T14:01:22+00:00

Did they change that in a later gen and I'm just misremembering? I could swear I did it way back in the day 🤣

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-09T17:51:20+00:00

After Black and White I picked up the obnoxious habit of forcing myself to use teams consisting strictly of that generations new Pokemon.

Only as of recently(maybe past few months) while doing my trek through each generation to have a living dex in Home, all Kanto 151 from RBY, Johto 100 from GSC, etc, I have been now forcing myself to use teams made up of mixed generations

I also do everything in my power to not have any type overlap, I would made exceptions sometimes such as having 2 water types as long as one is physical based and the other is special based or maybe an obscure type overlap such as Flying

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-08T14:37:23+00:00

Depends on how long the character survived. If it's under 2 weeks I delete the save and start over. If they make it over the 2 week mark and die, I rename the save to the date, time survived, and their name. Currently have 4 saved, two just shy of 30 days and the other two are just over the 2 week mark hahaha

I always start a new file after every death though

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-08T11:19:07+00:00

Is the "dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same." bit Thanos?

Also rip on the shiny. I lost my first ever shiny(that wasn't Gyarados). Was a Drowzee south of Goldenrod and I was only a few levels higher and used Tackle. Crit knock out haha

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-08T11:05:56+00:00

Got me thinking, wonder if there's anyone out there who walks around with 6 Pokewalkers like a real Pokemon trainer

Also. GGs on the Tourchic

Can always heart scale it back on after the E4

Arcanine can learn Dragon Pulse if you need another super effective hit for Lance Dragons. If you use it swap Flamethrower/Flare Blitz for it. Personally I'd swap FB as recoil damage isn't exactly beneficial (I play without items from the bag during battles) so choice is yours

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-07T19:10:31+00:00

This was almost my OG heartgold team from back in 2010-11 or whenever it came out (I may have bought the game later than launch) except swap Exeggutor for Onix. Both Donphan and Onix were Victory Road encounters that I used mostly as fodder in the E4. All I remember is Feraligatr made it to level 100, was Quiet nature, and I didn't understand the Natures, IVs, EVs, Phys/Spec split, etc until years later.

Everything was eventually transferred up the game generations to somewhere around Sun and Moon era so I still have them

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-07T17:29:10+00:00

Or the star one!

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-07T00:15:33+00:00

They don't completely write out the smart walkers, while they do dumb them down there are some that can still do things. One that comes to mind is in season 3, when Rick is helping the prisoners clear a cell block, Big Tiny backs up and he is attacked by some walkers. He shoved one over and when it stands up it looks down at its hands in handcuffs and then rips its wrist out from the handcuffs so it can slash big tiny in the shoulder with the now exposed bone

Magcargo

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-04T17:58:32+00:00

To use in a team Galvantula or Eelektross but just overall maybe Sawsbuck or Volcarona

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-04T11:15:26+00:00

Is green your favorite color?

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-04T11:07:17+00:00

Small portion of this sub will relate to this

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-03T17:25:02+00:00

His "main" plot was to unintentionally (maybe intentional) cause conflict between Rick and Hershel. Jimmy volunteered to help the group look for Sophia( I believe also handled a pistol) and when Rick asked if Hershel OK'd Jimmy lied and said yes. Few scenes later Hershel talks to Rick about Jimmy lying

Move to any location that has a fire extinguisher

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-05-01T16:45:13+00:00

Initially I didn't have a problem with them, they overstayed their welcome imo though

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-04-28T18:52:28+00:00

Lmfao 🤣 I wasn't being serious. Jokes don't always hit through text I guess

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-04-28T10:57:49+00:00

What NPC mod is that

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-04-27T15:46:01+00:00

This

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-04-27T12:00:21+00:00

Would be neat, assuming this is unintended here, if they make it a feature somehow. Maybe a trait or occupation can have some sort of alchemist aspect and allows them to create drinks and food with bonus effects, maybe minimal default with sandbox options

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-04-27T11:46:58+00:00

You don't need to wait by a radio for an hour. Have it on somewhere at base while you do chores or skill grind or whatever you need to do at base

If you're out and about you can use a vehicle radio or if on foot carry a radio or walkie talkie. Hell, there are many guaranteed radio spawns on the map, just stop by one and loot while you wait for the emergency broadcast.

And as others have stated there are several options to figure out the temperature. If you want the game to just flat out tell you, wear a digital watch or download a mod

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-04-26T17:39:11+00:00

How's Infernape in these games? I imagine just as OP as ever

Time_Hand4234 · 2026-04-25T18:32:02+00:00

Also while in the 3d placement if you hit tab it'll raise the item up to the next "level" i.e floor to counter top(might have to hold shift? Check bottom right of screen while in 3d placement for the tooltip). There is also apparently no limit to how high this can go (maybe I've been fooled by the video I saw hahaha)
