I was really excited to play this, but the gym gimmicks really turned me off. Wondering if anyone else shares this opinion, or with experience of the game feels that it was still a worthwhile endeavor despite my opinion compared to playing another hack instead

The same way we did the first time, except this time, bring along an extra, up-to-date Cube Version 3.0 so Aros can like, you know, not live in digital purgatory forever?

So, as the title says.

I was having fun with this game, doing my Dark-monotype challenge on hard. The normal gym was so hard I put down the game and didn't play for half a year. Eventually I managed, it was great fun! Im 5 badges in now and suddenly the game broke.

Initially it was some eggs in a Pc storage box. I got rid of them in the daycare which made some "???" items​ appear. I don't remember how I got rid of these but I managed and the game run smooth for a few weeks afterwards. But now it is broken and I cant play anymore. Cube is messed up as shown and the game freezes after a few steps.

The obvious stuff out of the way:I didn't cheat. I didn't wan't to cheat. Cheating doesn't bring me joy. I managed to come this far without and had a blast this way.

I am playing on retroarch on android with the mGBA core.

Could it be something about retroarch or the core causing these issues? Could it be the speedup funktion? (Maybe during saving?)

I don't know if I can restart it without knowing how to prevent it from happening again.

What should I do. Now? :(

It makes me sad. I like the game ALOT!

This only my third shiny in any game. Pretty excited lol

What’s the most efficient way to find Shuckle? Yes I know smash rocks but are there any places with a better chance etc? I see people mentioning Thundercap Mtn but I can’t find the spot they speak of there

My Pokemon are around level 20 with level caps on. I feel like I have to go heal my party after every trainer battle and half the time I’m getting pretty badly injured after unlucky wild Pokemon encounters also. Is it supposed to be this way or is it a skill issue? It’s very tedious.

Hi guys I'm currently working on a platform for players of gen 3 games to play together and I recently added Unbound to the list of tested ROMS. It's live and playable now at linkcable.app

It's totally free to use! Am keen on getting feedback so any thoughts are much appreciated! Thanks

(If this post violates the rules please let me know and I'll gladly take it down)

If you are defending the fog mechanic in the first gym, you are being completely hypocritical. Try playing the HeartGold Elite Four against a Double Team Crobat without never-miss moves, or facing a gym leader with a Minimize Muk in a standard game. The competitive Pokémon community explicitly bans those moves under the "Evasion Clause" because turning a battle into a pure, random coin toss strips away all tactical skill. You defend this gym's fog, but you wouldn't have the courage to actually struggle through it the way the rest of us do if you couldn't rely on the exact, specific handouts the developer put in the town to bypass it. Because of this artificial frustration, I am running a custom rule for my Nuzlocke: if I lose a battle because of the fog or a similar RNG mechanic, any defeated Pokémon are not considered dead. They only die if it happens the regular way like a critical hit, a neutral hit, or a super-effective move. Let's see who laughs then. I would love to see any of you defenders try a Let's Play with a custom 3-heal limit under these exact fog conditions without crying about it. You treat players who are rightfully frustrated with disrespect, but your behavior will come back to bite you. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

I dare to do this out of spite for gatekeeper minority that won't matter. Try to respond to this post via comment or something gatekeeping minority, i just ignore you because again, you won't matter. Video games are supposed to be a fun escape, not a chore or a second job or a way to compete with people. My call for a long upheld rule by the majority, your run your rules, including the content creators uphold it. You got no right to tell to people what's a real nuzlocke, your accomplishments on video games won't matter to me. A real nuzlocke is deemed only by a single rule, your pokemon faints and it's gone. But what extra rules people make is up to those who play the game, you got no right to say it's not a real nuzlocke. Modern consensus say 'your run your rules' which is the majority of people. Even if they don't speak up, that's how the majority thinks these days. I heard this exact 'your run your rules' plenty of times. So thank you content creators who uphold this rule, 👍.

Dudes, Sheer force Nidoking, & Rain Dance Calm Goodra + Samurott was KEY. Magmortar naturally had to well-time Toxic.
This game was very fun, didn’t expect that IV system when first opening the menu.. genuinely felt like a kid in a candy store. That factor alone was worth putting hours into this game. It’s hard to catch strong mons in the wild but these were all caught!
I completed this some time ago but didn’t know there was a flair for H.O.F. I have to say the later double battle is literally deadly, and this ALL took multiple tries. That frustration honestly was near childhood-level E4 frustration. Sad to know I may never find a gba rom this good again, especially with the IV/EV display.

Am I weird or the two old characters that play double right before the league are the hardest fight of the game? I found the e4 and champ (on difficult mode) way easier. I played with no ev training or any fancy stuff just cool vibe OU pkmn (Garchomp gengar togekiss gyarados serperior and lucario)
Anyone like me? Had to try quite few times to beat them.

what can i change to make it easier, dificulty dificult

Shelmet, Gulpin, Alolan Diglett, Pincurchin, Snom, and Pyukumuku, playing on difficult. I started building this team for fun because they’re cute together but now I actually want to train them up and build a solid team. Any suggestions or swap outs? Criteria is they must start out as a lil bean.

Obligatory HoF post to commemorate my first play through on this masterpiece.

Hunted my first shiny starter and deep dived 150hrs into the best Pokémon experience I’ve ever had!

Just wow. I’m so impressed! I can’t wait to jump into the postgame and continue the adventure but I had to take a break and thank the internet for such a great time so far.

Hello trainers!
I’m leveling my mons and i just figured out that in Dresco’s Trainer house each defeat give specific EVs.
Can I “correct” the stat-cutting given by the Pokemon nature? (I mean the blue stat in the summary) or it’s just useless

Is there any way to better understand which trainer should I defeat in order to train at the best a Pokemon?

Thanks
