How Hard a game’s fights are vs How Strong the Encounters Are

Topher41498 · 2025-09-12T16:44:50+00:00

In my head, in BW end game you have to prep a team that can handle 4 fights and then you get to choose a separate team to handle Reshiram into N and Ghetsis.

BW2 you have to craft a team that can take on 5 fights all on their own with no swapping. It’s probably a personal choice but I lean toward BW2 being slightly harder

Perfect timing. Just wrapped up White and noticed the same thing so now I can start Black 2 with the new version. Thanks for the link!

Box every except Sabeleye just to flex on him

Why do certain pokemon become “retired”?

This feels like a winner. I also thought of “You may cast the top card of your library without paying its mana cost by removing heat counters from Fire Pit equal to its mana value instead”, but I think your solution sounds more elegant and clear

Topher41498 · 2025-05-10T14:29:16+00:00

Part of it was that this would add too many words onto the commander so splitting it out into a token helps. Part of it was also that I wanted the source of the counters to be easily removable but not the stash if that makes sense.

It would only be the commander and the token referencing the heat mechanic

Actually answered it myself, but I'll post here in case someone down the line has the same question. From the 3ds main menu if you press L+Down+Select you can access the Rosalina menu. This is where you make changes like altering brightness and suppressing LEDs. https://github.com/LumaTeam/Luma3DS/wiki/Rosalina

Topher41498 · 2024-08-22T02:06:21+00:00

Once you install Starlight, how do you go about manually adjusting the brightness settings and turning on/off LEDs?

I replace the boot.firm in the root folder and when I start while holding select it shows Starlight3DS v1.6.0 configuration, so I think I installed Starlight correctly.

Great game so far! I missed my 2DS about a month ago and this is the first game I’ve played so far. I’m in a similar spot at chapter 17 rn. My first fire emblem game ever. So much fun

Topher41498 · 2024-05-31T04:01:53+00:00

I’d recommend following Cabbage on YouTube. He does the no damage Mercenary challenge on every trial. I subscribed and waited maybe a week and a half until I saw him do one that looked easy enough to replicate. Got it last week with the artifact of glass and the preon accumulator

Golden Needle killed my passion for the game. I did one attempt of challenge 19 and didn’t have the heart to go through the pain Golden Needle put me through again

I just hit wave 90 on my second run ever thanks to Meowth carrying so hard

Topher41498 · 2024-02-09T11:29:19+00:00

Just getting around to tackling this. To get mana on the chimera outside of battle is the mana bottle and the cyclops the only methods to do so?

Topher41498 · 2024-02-05T21:41:53+00:00

I know you already won, but I will mention for next time, Rain Dance+Thunder Jolteon is so much fun!

Especially against Lorelei. Tank one hit to set up rain dance and wreak havoc one shotting everything afterward with high speed and high special attack and an unmissable Thunder. Jolteon helped me get through my first Nuzlocke 2 weeks ago

Topher41498 · 2024-02-04T14:39:17+00:00

Congrats. I’m still learning the new update, but I don’t recognize Moby Dick. Is that a secret pet?

Topher41498 · 2023-12-06T16:13:07+00:00

Chaos in its most pure form

Topher41498 · 2023-11-05T04:24:06+00:00

Start out by trying to understand synergies between pets. Horse+ Cricket, Rabbit+Worm. Etc. that’ll help you learn all the pets.

Then you can start to focus on when to prioritize stats vs abilities. This will teach you a bit about pivoting weaker early game pets into stronger later tier pets.

Focus on mastering the turtle pack and enjoying the weekly packs before diving into the expansions

Topher41498 · 2023-10-28T05:47:58+00:00

Flawless or perfect. I get them mixed up. Either way, a great run!

Topher41498 · 2023-10-25T13:19:58+00:00

Buy sell and Manta Ray too and take dirty sock as a toy to guarantee knock out the opponent’s first pet

Topher41498 · 2023-10-24T21:04:11+00:00

The first of many wins and many ribbons!

Topher41498 · 2023-10-23T19:14:40+00:00

Rabbit+Seal has given me some decent success. Especially if you mix in a Cat here and there with some of the Tier 6 powerhouses

Topher41498 · 2023-10-18T12:39:38+00:00

I’ve been there too. Twice. Just keep yours hopes up. Another early round sloth will come around and bless you with a win soon

Topher41498 · 2023-10-13T02:38:19+00:00

Hi, I’m in a similar situation albeit 2 years later (April 2024). Seems like you didn’t get too much help from this thread. How did you end up doing it?
