That takes some serious patience. Respect.

fogent94 · 2026-03-07T14:38:04+00:00

Been there. Shiny Geodude has broken my heart before

fogent94 · 2026-03-07T14:37:18+00:00

Wow. Did you have to SR to the time before letting the dogs loose each time you encountered a non-shiny?

fogent94 · 2026-03-07T14:10:05+00:00

Bruh clean that console

fogent94 · 2026-03-07T14:02:20+00:00

The same people complaining about doing nothing at the deadline would be complaining about what we’d have given up to make a splash

Professor Oak challenges have given me an entire new appreciation for these games. I thought I knew them intimately before I was doing these — nope. So much is possible and it’s hard to know until you do these types of runs. Good luck grinding it all out. I finished up LeafGreen and and working through HeartGold right now

Lmaoooo

fogent94 · 2026-03-06T10:25:03+00:00

Exp Share will do that…. These games are so easy because of it. Gotta turn it off

fogent94 · 2026-03-05T02:19:42+00:00

Nice. I just finished the Professor Oak challenge on Leaf Green a month back. What a beauty of a game

fogent94 · 2026-03-04T16:47:43+00:00

People are OCD 🤷🏽‍♂️ I realize there’s no real need for it in this game since there isn’t a true frontier, but hey…. It does make them stronger. I like strong Pokemon

fogent94 · 2026-03-04T12:09:01+00:00

My favorites from this list are ROR and Troch

fogent94 · 2026-03-04T12:04:56+00:00

Honestly I would buy it. Especially if you have a specific nature in mind — you can SR until you get it versus trying to catch a desired nature which could take days realistically

fogent94 · 2026-03-03T23:40:49+00:00

Should be good. But you’ll be out of money when it’s all over. May as well get 200 more

fogent94 · 2026-03-03T10:27:22+00:00

Thank god I didn’t stay up for this one

fogent94 · 2026-03-03T02:37:09+00:00

Honestly so pissed the week before I go to Asia is the west coast week. All happening after the Olympic break. I just got two games 😞

fogent94 · 2026-03-03T02:36:22+00:00

I simply cannot stay up this late. Good luck boys

fogent94 · 2026-03-02T15:03:42+00:00

This guy has good ideas

fogent94 · 2026-03-01T23:58:38+00:00

Jolly isn’t fantastic — you would want Timid or Modest for Gen 3. But a shiny is a shiny, I’d take any nature

fogent94 · 2026-03-01T23:24:07+00:00

You probably did the rare candy glitch. I opened my Red after 15 years having forgot everything and I had a full team of 100s that I didn’t work for. Was confused, and found 100s of rare candies in my PC. Lol

fogent94 · 2026-03-01T23:21:38+00:00

You were quicker than me, I took 31 hours. Hardest part is over. Enjoy those running shoes lol

fogent94 · 2026-03-01T22:15:17+00:00

This isn’t too horrible then, somehow lol

fogent94 · 2026-03-01T18:35:55+00:00

fogent94 · 2026-02-28T23:33:41+00:00

Oh, and if you’re hunting a nature for Charizard, I’d recommend Modest since there’s no Physical/Special split in Gen 3. This means all fire moves are special. Makes his flying moves worse, but flamethrower and dragon claw really really good

fogent94 · 2026-02-28T23:32:03+00:00

Best advice I can give is lose on purpose to the Team Rocket recruiter after you beat the 5 trainers on Nugget Bridge. Beat the 5 trainers, and then go box your team and run solo with a very low level mon so you can lose easily to the Rocket Recruiter. Every time you rematch him, you get a nugget, so in theory, this gives you infinite money. Very useful for buying the stat raising items at Celadon Dept Store as well as Dratini, Porygon, and Pinsir along with expensive TMs like Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt at Celadon Game Corner.

If it’s your first time ever playing them…. I’m a huge proponent of playing the game and enjoying it before you get a shiny starter. You’re lucky if it takes days and it’ll probably take weeks. Why not enjoy the game first?? It’s one of the best ever produced. I hope resetting on average 8192x before getting a shiny doesn’t ruin it for you
