1998. Toys R Us.

Blue.

Gold/Silver. The amount of content is insane compared to later games and it's almost all centered around exploring the game world, rather than grinding.

Old.

>When did you first discover pokemon?

When it first came out, kids at my afterschool started bringing cards in

>What were your first games?

First one was Red version, but I convinced my parents to get me yellow too even though it wasn't too long after R/B came out

>What is your favorite game?

Platinum came out just as I was getting my friends back into it. I have the fondest memories associated with all of getting together to trade and cook poffins

>What kind of trainer are you?

I'd consider myself something like a pokemon ranger. I enjoy doing playthroughs, and I like the differences between each game, even between older versions and remakes. I guess I enjoy the overall journey too much to focus on particular aspects.

>What's your favorite battle format?

I don't really have one, when I battle friends I usually ask if it's ok to start with a double and then finish with a single

>When did you first discover pokemon?

As a 6 year old, right when i got to the US from cuba my cousin gifted me yellow with a gameboy color, it was awesome as fuck. It really helped me learn english at a young age, pokemon will always have a soft spot for me because of it.

>What were your first games?

Yellow, then I played red

>What is your favorite game?

leaf green hands down. I think it's the best pokemon game objectively. great main game, great post, decent variety in pokemon after post game.

>What kind of trainer are you?

normally go for rain dance/sunny dance teams

>What's your favorite battle format?

singles

>What's your favorite type?

>When did you first discover pokemon?

When I was young, about 6 or 7, with my cousin letting me play the first Stadium.

>What were your first games?

Stadium technically. Emerald was the first game I bought and played for the main series.

>What is your favorite game?

Black. Emerald is a close second. For a ROMhack game it's definitely Pokemon Gaia.

>What kind of trainer are you?

A collector definitely.

I am ready to break the cycle. If Danky Dank is still here, I will consider selling you a copy. I have never bought or sold anything online. But you're an old buddy from Vietnam so I can pull some strings with the sergeant.

Do you have Kik, danky? I could post my Kik if that's OK and Loskene can delete it after you get it.

Your hording is a symptom of your misery. You have to make your life feel less hollow so you're not attempting and it doesn't work does it? to fill the holes within with possessions. Though also the holes within can't be entirely filled, welcome to humanity make the most of your stay. I imagine that you're stuck in the past because the present/future seems bleak. But lets be honest you're not really happy. Life is pretty finite in the grand scheme of things so why not give the present and future a chance. Worst case scenario it doesn't work out and in 70 years you're dead and DGAF.

You're going to have to metaphorically eat shit to get through this but it'll be worth it. Get therapy, branch out.

>>229071
I may purchase one of your copies dude, for sure.
I dunno how we go about setting this up.

Also Loskene hasn't worked for this place in years. I have no idea who monitors this board anymore.

>>229072
I have autism.

There's no point in min/maxing. Though for .5 of a generation I might have some bred iv/eved monsters and level them while I'm at it.

Sometime in the 90's.

I didn't play gen 3 though. I stopped and never looked back, right up until I was coming off of heroin a few years ago, at which point I started white, then white 2, then fire red, then emerald, then platinum. Now I'm only really interested in romhacks that increase the difficulty a little bit. I'm playing fire red omega right now, which has harder battles, gengar/machamp/alakazam etc can evolve without trades, and the starters are smoochum, magby, and elekid (and they got +10 stat boosts to all forms).

I have to be honest at the current rate we won't see the end until after 2020 (probably more like 2030, it's been over 18 months so far and we're still in what would be episode 1 of a conventional comic) and my country will not exist by then so I won't see it. As such I just take each comic as an unexpected bonus.

Reels if you're listening that still means I hope you update more.

>>227781
That's true. I fucking love the comic so far and it started to create a really cool addition of the Pokemon world, I really fucking dig that. Don't expect it to be something that it is not, and instead appreciate it for what it is. Reels is a champ when it comes down to the page, but the book is not so much there. That doesn't make the page any less awesome, it just means you shouldn't be so invested in it in the long run. It's a short story and it's being updated very slowly.


Reels, I remember when you dropped this on here for the first time. If you are reading this, I think you should keep going, just to at your own pace and do it your way man. Yadon was the perfect mascot bro. Don't forget that.

I failed everyone. so so hard. I started doing comic art professionally and it took up so much time. Im sad because I had SO many ideas for SF... I might just pick up where I left off...

>>229085

I hope to see more. While I understand if it's no longer possible, I just finished it and had a smile on my face all throughout.

>>229085
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, man.

>>229075

Google

emuparadise is the best one. if you wanna play gen 2 go for the emulator edition of crystal. it gives pokemon who evolve via trading simple stone and level up evolutions, and pokemon you couldn't get in crystal are there now, but are rare encounters. idk if there's such a hack for emerald or frlg though.

>>229087

There are for all the Pokémon games. Some of them are really good.

>>229087
Seconding this.

Use Troll and Toad. I've been getting occasional single copies on it, and the cost isn't THAT bad if you figure in the idea that you would have to buy a LOT of booster packs to get any one specific card.

>>229067

How easy are they to sell to? Wouldn't mind getting rid of some cards.

>>229076

I recently had the idea of a full shroom psychedelic team


I have amoongus, shinnotic, parasect, breloom, then I'm out. I'm gonna add an alolan muk named LSD-25, and a cacturne called mescaline

any ideas?

>>229077
I seem to recall a psychic type Pokemon that manipulates peoples feelings and emotions, and could pt them in a trance-like state and force ecstasy on them. Can't remember who it was though.

DICKS EVERYWHERE

DICKS EVERYWHERE

DICKS EVERYWHERE

Didn't like this when I gave it a go. Is there still a semi active community of people playing it now? I haven't seen nearly as much coverage about it in a considerable amount of time. The whole thing seemed like a bit of a fad that ran its course to me.

>>228940
yeah semi-active is the word, it's not dead or anything, I still see people playing it on the streets, but it's nowhere near as big as it was during the initial wave of popularity. not even close. during that time there just wasn't enough to do and you could tell it was going to fall off the radar after the majority of the playerbase reached a leveling plateau and ran out of things to do. And then they did. This new update could have extended the fad period were it released then, but only for a few more months at best.

Yeah, they really did release a game that was half done at best. Before Gen 3 comes out they'll be working on rolling out trading and battling, so that's a plus. Honestly, I still find it fun and at the very least, a good reason to get out of the house. I'm lucky to live in a state that has a really good community for it, documenting and updating nests.

I have played on and off roughly since launch. At this point the only ones from gen 1 that I don't have that are not region locked/legendary are Hitmonchan and Kabutops (only just got a Kabuto recently after hatching a ton of eggs.) Gen 2 the only ones left that I have are Mareep's evolves, Sunflora, Unown, Wobbufett, Girafarig, Shuckle, Sneasal, Donphan, Hitmontop, Miltank, and Tyranitar (minus Delibird and Smeagle who are not in the game at all I believe at the moment.)

The evolve items are few and far between. I have lucked out and gotten 3 dragon scales, 3 metal coats, and 3 king's stones but have only gotten the 1 sunstone which I used to get a Bellossom.

Anyone else still playing? Going pretty well so far, the gym rework is a saviour for me since all of my local gyms were walls of Blissey/Dragonite/Snorlax before

>>228968
Doubles is fun actually it does take a little getting used to but it makes the number of broken monsters smaller because there's always 2 things on field to counter it.

My heatran was max special attack with max hp and it just shrugs off even neutral attacks and hits back hard. The typing and ability are good but it's stats are fantastic too. Mine's 100 with perfect IVs now. During the doubles ladder at one point it ate soemone else's heatwave... shit got real very quickly.

Also I got my shiny modest venusaur to 100 so now it's a shiny modest 6iv giga drain venusaur for mega forme funtimes. I am quite happy with this.

>Looking forward to starting R/B to trade and finally fill the Kanto-Dex

I'm playing my 7th copy of Pokemon Emerald and I've only just beaten the third gym. I am going to switch off animations and trade my starter to another game and beef him up with rare candies and TMs so I can sweep through all the games quicker.

Currently switching between X and Sun, X because I restarted it, (already beat the e4 and started the looker quests) and Sun because I wanna get my secondary team up to 100 before I have to update and lose the poke pelago glitch. All I have left is Salazzle and Mudsdale, both level 89 atm.

Pokemon HG/SS, although I just restarted them. I like to shiny hunt, so I have 2 going at the same time. Still trying to get Shiny Totodile. I've gotten 3 damn Chikoritas and 1 Cyndaquil. All I want is the starter trio so I can completely play through and not have to worry about it.

Yeah I could AR in a JPN ditto to masuda method with in Gen 4, but honestly with only Flame Body helping you, it's not that much longer to just do Soft Resets in those games. Once I get the Totodile I'll play both up to the Lugia/Ho-oh part and then Soft Reset for those as well.
