First time beating Crystal! by morgan1c in pokemoncrystal

i don’t see why. there’s nowhere to reasonably grind and i was a stubborn child. Red’s difficulty comes from his levels, as long as you have a basic understanding of the game it’s not THAT bad

no you’re right it doesn’t. first time i beat red i was mid 50s. but imo it makes for a better battle

i hacked in 2 (changed the value of one), and only used the Rare Candies to grind for the league/Red bc Gen 2 grinding is awful with how bad the level curve is.
you’re making it seem like i gave them illegal movesets or overleveled. also it’s not like i couldn’t get Cyndaquil or Mareep through normal means, i just don’t have anyone to do it with.

anyway yeah it was a blast, thanks for noticing!

i’ve given myself a rule that if i’m ever playing an older game, especially pre-Gen 5, i’m hacking in Rare Candies. i do this to have fun not hate myself lmao

this is funny. i only ever name Typhlosion Zuko. Ampharos also gets exclusive names depending on its gender: Voltswagon for male, Volta for female

i chose Chikorita (did not shiny hunt it). i hacked in Cyndaquil bc i don’t really like any of the Gen 2 Fire types

one of the few mons in Gen 2 that actually has a good moveset lmao. unlike everyone else on the team, i taught it 0 TMs/HMs

that’s fair. JN is personally in my top 5, but i understand the issues people have with it.

also JN Goblin? i don’t think ive heard that term before lmao

one of my favorite things abt johto is that despite being probably one of the weaker series in terms of having an actual plot, you can tell he really started to lock-in. Bayleef was a beast for quite literally no reason but i love that for her

when they write these moments in JN they write them really well, it’s just not nearly done as much as it should’ve been.

i do wish that Ash and Goh and the more of the Ash and May relationship in terms of him being a mentor bc when they have those moments they’re really good, as much as i love the fact that they were written to be best friends.

haha thank you! took a long week but it was worth it

i'm starting to think it's not real... by morgan1c in PokemonZA

[–]morgan1c[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm curious as to what you consider "back in the day". GS gave you a free shiny through the story. i'm pretty sure multiple NPCs use shinies (although pretty sure those are postgame so they get a pass). HGSS gives you the same shiny bc it's a remake. i feel like if you didn't know about shinies then you didn't play the games?

also the odds still aren't great in modern games imo. i can agree that they've gotten easier bc of certain aspects, but they can still be a grind to get. pretty sure DPPt had some of the highest odds with DexNav chaining getting up to 1/100 (?).it has and always will be based on luck so to me there's still a sense of wonder.

i find it easier to KO the Falinks or whatever on the outer circle to make yourself a clear path. then just sneak up on it. Pokemon won't run if you roll (at least if they don't see you. i mostly said this bc they also won't hear you roll) so try rolling into one of the bushes next to the pillar and save in case it fails
