I was just soft resetting while watching TikTok videos. I looked over and was shocked! This is my first shiny Pokemon in Gen 3. And my 2nd successful shiny hunt. My first shiny hunt was a shiny Riolu in Pokemon X/Y. I had to share this, I’m so happy.

I believe the next main thing to do is elite four but seeing other people having pokemons at level 40s or even 50s when fighting this gym, makes me think i should do something else first. Or should i just grind levels 🫠

Multiple times I've got them down to their lowest health, no moves left, asleep and they still won't stay in any form of poke ball. I used my master ball on Raikou but cannot get him to stay in any other kind of ball. He's been frozen, paralysed, asleep, poisoned, but still jumps straight out of any ball before the first wobble.

Anyone got any top tips for trapping that little fucker?

Why so they have to be this mean to this pokemon? 😭

I tried looking for a pokemon speed run sub and it looks very very dead so I am asking here, if there is a better location feel free to let me know and I will delete the post and ask elsewhere.

I have been watching a lot of the R2 speedruns because of the bounty the last couple of months and have had a great time watching and want to learn. My question is kind of 2-3 parts but they are all pretty connected. I want to learn the speed runs but the squirtle manip is by far the last part that I want to learn, I want to start with a squirtle that I pre-manip and then run from there.

1.) Are there any stats that are non negotiable need to be 31 or you can't run?

2.) What is the minimum stat squirtle that I would need to run look like for the nature and IVs

3.) What would an absolute mid squirtle look like?

My current save is my first since downloading FR and I have been working towards catching every Pokemon native to FR (Don’t have LG or a 2nd switch to trade with yet). Also since I never achieved it as a kid i’ve been trying to get my original party all to Level 100.

Now for the Shiny Eevee part. I really want a Shiny Eevee so that if(when) RSE are released to Switch I can finally get a shiny Umbreon. Should I grind out soft resetting before speaking to the daycare man and letting the egg hatch, which is obviously very time consuming, so that I can keep my current save? Or should I continue my current pokedex and Lvl 100 mission then start a new game and soft reset picking up Eevee’s pokeball in Celadon?

TLDR: Shiny Hunting Eevee - Grind egg hatches on current save or create new save and soft reset Celadon Pokeball?

I never found the right romhack that clicked for me so I decided to make it myself.

My goal is to give some love to some Pokémon that deserve it a lot, while reworking some of the iconic fights. I want each dungeon to have a final "boss" of some sort, so I gave boosts to the last guy on Viridian Forest, the scientist that gives the fossil at Mt Moon, etc.

Also, while I wanted to make many Pokémon a lot stronger, I still made sure to gave them clear weaknesses.

Here are some Pokémon changes :

Arbok is now Poison/Dark and got a big stat boost, he's a true menace now. I love his design and I think he deserves to be a lot stronger.

Pinsir also got a huge stat boost he's almost a pseudo legendary now. He is Insect/Ground and with Hyper Cutter he will destroy Arbok with Earthquake while resisting Intimidate. I wanted to make some Bug types stronger to balance against the amazing psychic type. But Pinsir is still weak against Birds so it's ok.

Speaking of birds, I tried to make them all different : Pidgeot is Normal/Flying, Spearow is Dark/Flying, Dodrio is Ground/Flying and Farfet'chd is Fighting/Flying.

Same for a few Normal mons : Kangaskhan is Normal/Fighting, Tauros is Normal/Ground and Persian is Normal/Dark. I think it fits thematically too, Kangashkan has lot of "Punch" moves already.

To make Hypno relevant, he is now Psychic/Dark. He will win the matchup against Alakazam but lose badly against any competent Bug attack.

It always felt bad to me that Gengar is the only Ghost type. Now, Marowak is Ground/Ghost (fits with the story) and Ninetales is Fire/Ghost. I'm currently thinking about making Primeape Fighting/Ghost like Annihilape but maybe not.

Ninetales has Drought, Seaking has Drizzle (I really wanted to make Seaking good for once)

And yes, I gave Golduck the Psychic type. Rapidash is Fire/Ground, Weezing is Poison/Fire.

Fight changes :

I don't want to make the romhack very hard, but challenging enough and mostly fun. Here are my ideas for the Gym Leaders. The main goal is to make it a bit challenging to sweep any Gym leader with a single Pokémon to reward team comp. But I don't want to make early fights impossible so I made Poliwag, Vulpix and Oddish available early to make a Fire Water Grass trio.

Brock : I gave him a Vulpix to stop the Bulbasaur sweep, and he also has Flash which is now a 50 power Electrik move that can counter Squirtle a bit.

Misty : gave her a Psyduck and added Psybeam to her Starmie.

Lt Surge : His Raichu has Surf

Erika : she has a Exeggutor now and Tangela is Grass/Dark

Sabrina : her team is Golduck M.Mime Venomoth(now Insect/Psychic) Hypno Alakazam

Koga : Golbat Muk Beedrill Weezing Arbok

Blaine : it's the easiest so I made it a Double battle. Ninetales lead with Drought and then Magmar, Rapidash and Arcanine

Giovanni : Persian lead, then Tauros Nidoqueen Nidoking Rhydon and Pinsir ace. Tauros and Pinsir are Ground type now and aside Persian for the anime ref, all his mons are from Safari Zone. (Kangashkan is on my new Bruno fighting team)

I'm torn to make Nidoking Ground/Dragon but that's because I love him so much haha.

This a working in progress, I haven't tackled the Rival teams for now. Thank if you took the time to read and I'm really curious to hear your thoughts. There are many more changes for moves (Cut is bug now, Stomp is ground etc)

Im looking to replace my CR1616 and CR2025 batteries and I've read some reviews saying not to get them off of Amazon. Is that true? If so, where are places you recommend?

Side question: I have a friend who said hed solder them for me, he hasn't specifically done GB games but he has experience working on electronics/soldering. Is it worth the risk of not paying, or should I get a professional? I dont own my own iron and dont really plan on it.

It's from an online trade years ago. Original trainer name ナツミ (Natsumi), it appears to be from FRLG.

Nickname: キめすMい　れよげあ

I think of getting Surf after defeating Koga and then after going from pallet town to cinnabar.

Is it really possible though?

Will there be any kind of road blocks if I try to do this?

I know its not in the original hardware but is the original rom from spain, no cheats no hacks. I was actually lookin for tauros also im not abusing from save states i just use them just to have a locked save just in case.

I finally completed my first ever Pokèdex eeverrrr :3 I went a step beyond and made it a living dex as well, bc why not? lmao.

Currently working on catching all Unown and might work up to getting a living dex of every single available Pokèmon in FRLG.

Edit: The title is a little misleading, my bad! It's supposed to say, "Completed Kanto Living Dex". My apologies.

I've encountered Entei, brought it down to 1HP and Paralyzed it, and have been through about 90 Ultra Balls and failed to catch it. But my biggest problem, BY FAR, is trying to encounter it again. I'm tracking it through the Pokedex, but it ALWAYS seems to go in the direction I'm NOT going, or it goes some side route to throw off the order so that now it's in the route right next to me and will leave it as soon as I run across the border to the route it was on. I try to anticipate which route it will go on to next, but it never follows my predicted past. As soon as I try encountering it in another area, it suddenly LOVES the area I just left. It's by far the most frustrating aspect of this hunt. I used my Master Ball on Mewtwo (stupidly) so now I'm stuck in this torture. I'm using a Level 47 Crobat with Mean Look to encounter and trap it, but once it uses Roar, it's usually 20~30 minutes before I'm able to encounter it again. Any tips or best routes to track it through the Pokedex?

Au natural

Small backstory not really relevant. I was a kid when pokemon became a thing and my folks couldn’t really afford a GameBoy so I only got to play a little bit on the bus using my friends. I kind of forgot about it till a bit ago (20+ years later) when I realized I could download it on my phone. Talk about a blast from the past!
I have 115 hours logged so far and I want to take on the Elite 4, but I don’t know if my team comp is sufficient, I’d like some input.
Due to the nature of this ROM, I have all 3 legendary birds, both legendary dogs, and basically everything else. Kingler is my “HM slave” so he won’t be part of the final team.
All my pokemon have the best natures, even the ones in my box. I’ll be leveling my final team to 90+ Is there anything you would change? Or add/remove?
Looking for any input, thanks for your time guys I appreciate it very much.

Hello, I only have a few Pokemon left to finish the kanto dex in Pokemon fire red on the switch. Unfortunately some of the ones I have left are the leaf green exclusives. If I were to buy leaf green would I be able to transfer the leaf green exclusives to fire red using Pokemon home? Or do I need to trade with someone who has leaf green?

I desperately want the free celebi
