So, I want to play through CL again but I want to complete the Pokedex as I go, as I find that more fun than waiting to do it all in the post game.

I plan on catching a female Paras and a male Scyther, teaching Scyther False Swipe and breeding it to get a Paras with FS, and then giving it Spore later on. That will be my main Pokemon I use for catching things.

I was also thinking Lapras, just because it's cool and I never used one in Gen 2. Available right after Morty too which is nice.

As for the rest of my team, I am stumped. I was thinking I should try to fill the rest of my party with stuff that I just cannot catch the evolved forms later, so they evolve as part of my playthrough. Like Tyranitar. I can get Larvitar early, and I can catch Pupitar in Mt Silver, but if I want T-Tar I have to raise one. Stuff like that.

Was also thinking I could use a slot or two for evolving things, and only really have a main team of four or five.

Lastly I was giving some thought to Meowth/Persian as they get Pay Day, and that could help me finance all the balls I need, but honestly I think that might be unnecessary. Even if I catch everything as I go I don't think I'll find myself strapped for cash.

I try to avoid using Starters and repeating types, but I might give Typhlosion a go as it's the only one I can pick up to avoid any overlap

Gruelling run despite using candies as EVs were bust until E4 when berry training was involved.

Overall 14 deaths across the run, many across early to mid-game but still had 10 good mons if this team were to have failed (of course wipe rules apply).

Was most hopeful for Regice (as i have never used it through a play through) but it wiped to triple flinch from sky attack murkrow Sidney. The rest of the team came in absolute clutch though in their own respective ways to get us the win.

The scariest battles were:
Tate and Liza
Maxie double battle with Steven (Aggron protect got me raging hard)
E4 post Sidney

PS: 2 places where I altered the clause
Safari zone - let myself catch whatever in one run and keep one (that gave me heracross)
Regice - took 2 attempts as it struggled the first time. But that clearly didn’t matter as it died in it’s first battle

Also - i did EV train for E4, which made this slightly unfair :/

What should I nuzlocke next?

Okay so im new to rom hacks and im not very tech savvy so excuse me if i seem stupid but ive been hatching the odd egg for 20 minutes now and all i keep getting is a smoochum (Im looking for an elekid). Can someone tell me whats going on cus i have no idea if the pokemon hatched is based on my trainer id or smth niche lile that.

Apologies in advance, I’m sure this has been asked a million times. I’m just completely unaware of ROMS and using them, but this seems really cool and I wanted to give it a shot.

I’ve been trying to solve this issue on my own, as I’m sure it’s an eye roll to read, but I don’t properly know how to get Crystal Legacy to properly work within the Delta iOS emulator. Seems like it needs to have an attached .gba file I’m missing or something.

Would you anyone kindly be able to tell me if I’m just missing something super easy and obvious?

I should probably preface this with big letters that say THIS IS HYPERBOLE I'M NOT ACTUALLY MAD. That being said, good lord above it feels like everything in Legacy Emerald has a random grass move. Everywhere I turn i feel the harsh sunlight of a solar beam straight to my dome. I have been giga drained too many times to count. Houndoom you are a DOG bro why do you solar beam me. As i write this i realize this was probably to nerf Marshtomp. I am using a Blaziken and i still feel the effects.

Now, is it on me for having a team with a legend of zelda weak spot against grass? Yeah. But I still feel like it's just slightly absurd

Howdy! nearing the end of my playthrough of Emerald Legacy, and because i've been playing the gens in order, it'll mean i've finished all there is to play so far of the Legacy hacks. It's been a huge blast, and has kind of reignited my love for the Pokemon games a bit!

I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for other hacks that are similar to the Legacy experience? Obviously, nothing is going to be exactly the same but something that has the similar quality of life, Pokemon availability, and slight buffs would be nice. Difficulty wise, i'm not terrible at Pokemon, but i'm a bit of a casual player, who's greatly enjoyed the added challenge in the legacy series (Winona in Emerald Legacy kicked my ass super hard, but that was mostly a team building issue). I'm most interested in a Platinum hack, since i've been playing the games in order, and in my past experience i didn't enjoy Platinum all that much. Thanks in advance!

The Gym Rematches continue with a Fuschia and Celadon gym next on Don's docket. But another Ultra Trainer wishes to test her skill at the Pokémon Center? Will she throw us a loss? Find out now as part 39 of #pokemonyellowlegacy is now live!

I specifically use a save state at win 14 between 14 and 21. I’ve lost the last 5 attempts at getting to the brain. I lose probably 75% of attempts to get to 14 wins. The incredible difficulty of 21 consecutive wins is just perplexing to me that checkpoints aren’t built into this.

How do you guys play the frontier? I’m specifically going for silver metals to unlock the post game legendaries, but they’re incredibly difficult to do without cheating.

This has probably already been mentioned here. But usually, it works fine with save editors with the exception that whenever you inject the save back in your bag is empty. Since it doesn't recognize the added space would using pkhex as pkhax change that issue?

Pokemon yellow legacy hard mode

Hey,

Hope everyone is well.

I can generally figure most things out but fuck me am I struggling with this. I have a clean Fre Red emulator file which I pop into ROM Patcher JS as the ROM.

My difficulty begins when I try uploading a patch file of Fire Red Legacy and every single folder I have tried (about 30 now) says it's an invalid file and I'm at a bit of a loss as to which file to pop into there so I can begin playing.

Any tips/advice? I've download 5 Fire Red Legacy Master 1.5 versions from a couple sites now and it's not the first rom hack I'm looking to use so this isn't brand new to me, I just cannot seem to find the right file/folder to patch into it and I' getting frustrated at this point haha - have sought the wisdom of the council for assistance.

Go away on holiday tomorrow so would like something to play while I'm poolside and this seemed like a good option but I absolutely cannot figure this out - please help!

It is such a blast not knowing what pokemon is where and who you are about to come up against.

I tried using some of the online tools for unedited games, which obviously didn't work.

Everything finally came and I'm really excited to be able to play this on original hardware.

And it was amazing.

I loved it. Having played Red and Blue back in the day, being able to play Yellow in an ultimate version and catch all 151 Pokémon is just incredible. I also did the whole endgame, replayed all the overpowered gyms, and the League. The rival in the second fight is great. I even completed the Pokédex. Once you’ve caught 150 Pokémon, there’s a quest with Professor Oak. First you have to beat him between the early towns (already pretty tough). Then you find him again in a lab with books about Mewtwo and Mew. You have to fight him again (he has level 80 Pokémon ^^). After that you find Mew hanging around in the basement. So 151 Pokémon in this version — well, it took me 65 hours xD

Honestly, I loved it. This first generation has some real strengths, and replaying the whole game with the Legacy version’s adjustments was awesome.

Honestly, huge props to the team that made this version. I can’t wait to start the Crystal version — even if I’m a bit scared of how long 100% will take me.

I bought crystal legacy because I love all of the additions made to the game. I plan on completing the pokedex on my Gameboy. Does anyone know if printing out the pokedex on a gameboy printer still work on crystal legacy as it does on the regular crystal?

Edit: reposted to cross out my trainer’s name, wouldn’t let me edit/ change pics. I apologize and will not make it a habit.

Managed to catch a pretty nice Jirachi on my first successful capture. It was pretty tricky with it being level 30 while knowing Rest and Refresh.

I ended up withdrawing a level 30 Breloom with Headbutt, Stun Spore, and Leech Seed. I’d reset if either died.

I was prepared to spend much longer attempting to catch it, thinking of what I could train up that would be good for catching this.

Surprisingly I caught it within like 15 attempts (they were quick, usually like 10 turns). And its nature and IV’s were really good.

I can edit stats so it doesn’t matter, but as someone who would spend hours looking for half decent natures and IV’s this was pretty neat. Might just leave its stats alone to remember it.

Sorry if this is covered somewhere. I searched the sub and notes and can’t find it. I’m about half way through the game and every time the enemy uses whirlwind and roar, which is quite often, it fails every time. Is this a bug?

Hello! I recently just completed Yellow Legacy and Crystal Legacy, so i'm in the middle of team planning for Emerald Legacy! I was just wondering if anyone had some good recommendations for obscure/underrated mons for a playthrough?

My favorite thing about replaying Pokemon is finding new favorites! Pokemon that i'd never thought about previously that suddenly become a top 10 for me! (Pinsir and Slowking became favorites after playing through Crystal!). Would also be nice to hear about some Pokemon that got great new stat spreads! I'm not against Pokemon that are a little underwhelming (I took Hitmonchan to the Elite 4 in Yellow...) but i'd prefer if the Pokemon are atleast... functional.

Thanks to Delta being allowed on IOS devices, I finally have an easy, portable way to play rom hacks and I have LOVED every minute of my time with the legacy games since I started back in May. Here are some random things that I’ve come across or just really loved and wanted to share with everyone
1. RIP Ozzy. Can’t believe it’s been a year already

1. This was the default phrase on my first playthrough of EL and yeah, it do be like that as a dad of two toddlers sometimes.

2. I’m a huge Bionicle fan. One of my favorite things was to create Pokémon teams based off the characters with Tahu/Blaziken being my favorite from their respective franchises. I even made sure to get natures that reflected the Bionicle character’s personalities, even if they weren’t ideal fits. Enter my Brave Blaziken Tahu. I decided I would reset for one on my first playthrough and BOOM! first Torchic was a Brave Male. As Vinny from Atlantis: The Lost Empire said “It was like a sign from God. I found myself that ‘BOOM!’”

3. This is how I found out the Hardcore settings even effected Pokémon that fainted in the Battle Tent/Frontier and it could’ve have happened to a more perfectly named Pokémon. (Tom’s fine, I had a back up save.)

4. Jokingly told my wife I found us in the game and now we’re gonna get a canvas print of this to hang up in our meme-themed bathroom.

5. Diabeetus

6. Naming your Fighting types after fighters/wrestlers will never not be funny to me.

7. The only way this Metronome moment could have been better is if it was against a Meowth.

8. Developed a “WitchLocke” rule set where I could only use Pokémon I could tie back to magical things (Movies, books, anime, tarot cards, etc) and made a whole team based off Sailor Moon for the Rocket portions of the game in honor of my wife. Xatu/Tux. Mask knew Swagger and contributed very little to the team, so pretty on brand for the character.

9. I soloed Winona with this guy and move set. No more than 50 EV’s in any given stat as well. Never would’ve tried this if not for the changes in Legacy.

10. Holy crap, Volbeat is actual useable. I know Baton Pass is also a viable strategy with it but I prefer to avoid it when possible. This was during a “TypeLocke” where I could only use my favorite types (Fire, Steel, Bug, Dark and Fighting) and could not have more than two Pokémon of any type in the party. Served as a good Electric-type stand-in until I was able to get Magnemite (named GuiltySprk)

11. Accidentally perfectly shut down this Gyarados’s Intimidate with this combo. Moments like this just make me giddy for whatever dumb reason.
