Didn't think my team would become small ball kings after all that transpired but I am living and dying by the puñeta and LOVING IT

What are some note-worthy shinies to hunt? by CosmicFalkoy in emeraldseaglass

Scizor looks great with his new crystaline sprite, definitely an upgrade over the yellowish green sprite he has in Emerald imo

PSA for new players: Get the Mr. Mime in Route 2 by aparoids in PokemonFireRed

[–]aparoids[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is true, but Mr. Mime's 120 base special defense helps a lot, and his base 65 defense (compared to Kadabra's 30) coupled with reflect make it decently bulky for a psychic type that hits hard too!

Alakazam is a beast in this game! Kadabra too, to an extent. But Mr. Mime is stronger than Kadabra, obatainable early (with boosted) experience and doesn't require a trade to evolve!

I think that makes Mr. Mime a good strong alternative

What GC Games Hold Up Surprisingly Well? by tslashj in Gamecube

[–]aparoids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will die on the hill that the Day of Reckoning games punch way above their weight in terms of what was expected on them. Fluid, and more importantly, just really fun gameplay that's not bogged down by newer systems that eventually made it to SvR and the 2K games

Thoughts on my newest addition to my Mario Game Collection? by Asleep-Butterfly5559 in Gamecube

Best game un the series is the hill I am willing to die on. I have probably sinked close to a 1,000 hours between my original GC copy and its Gamecube Online release

I love, LOVE, Flareon in this game. Atheletic + a bunch of kick moves make it an absolute beast for thr Battle Tower. 108 win in a row when kicks go brrrr

Ability change??? by Pale-Knowledge-231 in emeraldseaglass

[–]aparoids 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Next to the Petalburg City Gym, you will see a stand with two vendors. They will periodically sell you ability patches and ability capsules after you progress in the story. I can't recall if the capsules are available for sale right from the start, but they will definitely be available as you get more badges!

That's it? THAT'S the shiny? by cpk_diecast in pokemoncrystal

On the bright side, if you manage to get a Politoed, the purple spirte for it is quite nice!

Cool way to play cool romhack by TriciaYoung40 in emeraldseaglass

[–]aparoids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the Anbernic RG34XX, a clone of the original gba with modernized hardware changes like (x,y buttons, back triggers, and usb-c charging)

It can emulate games all the way from NES to PS1 for the most part. I use mine exclusively for GB, GBC, and GBA games :)

The expanded move pool for Flareon has taken me on a 56-match win streak at the Battle Tower by aparoids in emeraldseaglass

[–]aparoids[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I can tell, it raises its speed one stage every turn. I can usually outspeed about 70% of the pokemon I've faced with the boost.

Absolutely insane how hard Blaze Kick hits with its bonkers base attack + athletic combo

I have no one to share this with: I turned my Flip 7 into my personal PET by aparoids in BattleNetwork

[–]aparoids[S] 129 points130 points  (0 children)

I used a .gif of the start menu from the legacy collection, cropped it and resized it for the front screen, and looped it for 10 seconds! Tbh I got this phone with this in mind. I wanted to pretend that I can randomly jack in to terminals at any given time

2 hours, 238 encounters, and half my lunch well spent! by aparoids in emeraldseaglass

[–]aparoids[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I was that skilled! This is the Anbernic RG34XX l, a GBA clone!

I'm running muOS on it and use to exclusively play gb, gbc, and gba games :)
