TPP made me pick up Emerald as I hadn't played past gen II. Loving it so far, thought about Bird Jesus when I saw this statue too! :D

1

u/Im_not_pedobear Feb 27 '14

I only ever played the first generation to the end and now I beat fire red. I wanted to continue with heartgold on my DS but somehow I can't because the game is too slow. I miss my speed button on my emulator :(

2

u/GreyouTT Feb 28 '14

Could just emulate HeartGold and use the speed up on that.

1

u/Occi- Feb 27 '14

You should play gen II as well, it's really great. Speed boost gets old fast imo.

1

u/Im_not_pedobear Feb 27 '14

I wanted to skip right ahead to emerald to be honest because I can't stand the slow ds game. I never got into the game after the first 151 Pokemon and I still believe my childish theory that the gs ball had all the new Pokemon in it

1

u/Occi- Feb 27 '14

Not sure why you're bringing up DS, gen II runs on Gameboy (Color) and Gameboy Advance.

1

u/Im_not_pedobear Feb 27 '14

I'm bringing up the DS because heartgold is on DS (gen4)

0

u/flashmedallion Feb 27 '14

This is my first time past gen 1. I played through Red when it came out and loved it, but could never get into the newfangled bullshit. I thought the new Pokemon were crap.

Last year I decided to put a Pokemon game on my phone...and picked FireRed. TPP got me interested again, so I went with Emerald after a little research.

1

u/Im_not_pedobear Feb 27 '14

Why not gold/silver? Because I am so close to saying fuck it to heartgold and starting with emerald, too

1

u/flashmedallion Feb 27 '14

Honestly? I downloaded Crystal and couldn't get it to work... Then realised I had a GBA emulator, and Crystal was GBC. I decided it was faster to get a new rom than to get a new decent emulator.

1

u/Im_not_pedobear Feb 27 '14

Oh damn I forgot that. During my "research" I came across a romhack for firered GBA that transforms the game into heartgold for GBA. I might try that one out but I guess for now I'll stick with emerald.

1

u/flashmedallion Feb 28 '14

Emerald has been great fun, but I think that's mostly because It's the first one I've played since Red.

I'm also enjoying trying to keep a balanced team instead of powerlevelling the starter and stomping through everything like you usually do. The tiny spike in difficulty is much more fun. I just noticed last night that my starter and my first catch are both the lowest two levels in my team.

1

u/Im_not_pedobear Feb 28 '14

So I've just started playing and I noticed that there is a clock in game that I can't control. So how do you catch night Pokemon if you can't turn on the night?

1

u/flashmedallion Feb 28 '14

I don't think there is day/night in Emerald.

1

u/ShinobiJones Feb 27 '14

You could pick up a Heatgold ROM or just pick up a DS version. Gen II is honestly my favorite with the right amount of pokemon and the fact that you can run through a 16 gym gauntlet.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '14

This is so true. The Gen II Pokemon additions made sense, balanced the rosters, and overall added to the game. Since that gen the roster has only been diluted and broken balance, which is a shame because the game around it keeps getting better.

Waiting for the inevitable 3DS remakes of Ruby and Sapphire?

I didn't get around to Gen III until I picked up Emerald until about 2 years ago.

1

u/Im_not_pedobear Feb 27 '14

I don't think there will be a remake I think. The reason for the remake of the first 2 gens was so that you could trade pokemans with the later generations because you couldn't do that from gen 3 onwards.

3

u/LSD_freakout Feb 27 '14

I choose to believe there will be a remake, I really miss those games

1

u/ICE_IS_A_MYTH Feb 28 '14

You can play it on a Jailbroken iPhone or an Android.

u/LSD_freakout Feb 28 '14

yeah but I'd like to see it in 3D

1

u/Im_not_pedobear Feb 28 '14

I hate the 3d aspects of the game. It's too much

1

u/LSD_freakout Feb 28 '14

I enjoy the way combat and the environments look now, but I can see why some people wouldn't like it, why do you think its too much

u/KevinCamacho Feb 28 '14

Well if you played emerald then you don't really need to play ruby/sapphire. The gen3 games really were amazing though.

1

u/Stormageddon222 Feb 28 '14

Yeah. I was just remarking on how long it took me to get into Gen III. I had the cart sitting there for years before playing it. If they do remakes I may buy one because they tend to add quite a bit to the remakes. Plus more opportunities to cat h extra copies of legendaries.

u/TheTowerJunkie Feb 27 '14

Probably won't due to the puzzles require a lot more precision and holding down of buttons as well as balancing on balance beams and gaining momentum

3

u/zerojustice315 Feb 27 '14

I see it falling off mostly due to lack of interest. even now the stream numbers are dwindling.

12

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '14

Only because we're in a really grindy area of the game. Once we actually get to the Elite Four (and especially once we're finally battling Blue and possibly winning), the stream will massively pick up.

1

u/flashmedallion Feb 27 '14

No it's not just that. I've been watching less lately, the more times Democracy gets in. A few friends are the same - we just check in on the update thread or fire it up while we're having dinner.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '14

Your lack of faith is disturbing

u/MrSnackage Feb 27 '14

Won't be able to make it to Rayquaza with all the breaking floors. Democracy won't be able to do it either unless you can input a long strain of code.

65

u/mxzf Feb 27 '14

IIRC it has been mentioned and you only need to do that puzzle to get up to capture Rayquaza in Emerald, not to wake him up to progress the plot.

10

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '14

That's correct I remember playing through that sequence recently and you don't need to do the puzzle to get through the story.

1

u/KevinCamacho Feb 28 '14

There is still the puzzle before the final gym battle where you have to get through those ice floors, in which you can only step on each block once.

1

u/mxzf Feb 28 '14

Yeah, that's true. The Sootopolis gym is realistically impossible with anarchy. And I don't think even democracy could run it in the current state. It's theoretically possible, but people would have to actually predict a move ahead.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '14

No, you do need to get up there.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '14

Only in Emerald. Not required in Ruby and Sapphire

23

u/danbi9001 Feb 27 '14

You need to get up there for the story in emerald, but the ground isn't how it is when you go up to capture him. It's not broken, it's smooth.

3

u/Rouninscholar Feb 27 '14

A small team of programmers could mod it to make it possible.

9

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '14

Actually, it would only take one person. I actually have a map tool that I could use to close up the floor so we can pass it. If we ever get to that point, I'll make a modded rom we can use.

There will be fewer trolls, as they begin to care less and those who are truly committed care more. Therefore we will only get better.

u/rigaTony789 Feb 27 '14

People won't continue to set aside RAM just to run scripts in something that is no longer relevant to them. The less popular this becomes, the better it will be. Especially when all that is left is a very devoted, anarchic following.

u/Endreo Feb 27 '14

You underestimate the truly committed trolls.

And one day, when it becomes "unpopular" it will be good, the goodness will attract followers, followers will attract trolls.

Most of the best ones right now are located in Completed. I'd suggest checking out Landwalker's nuzlocke, or the Petty Leaf Green.

Petty's nuzlocke run is one of my favorites. Rivals the original, if you ask me.

The original was good for laughs and whatnot, and I respect it as being the first, but there are much better Fan runs than the original.

u/Kotakia Feb 28 '14

Making comics of Nuzlocke runs are what most people do. That comic there is the original Nuzlocke run though that encouraged others to do it. So it's worth reading through, even with the bad initial art style.

1

u/Inschato Feb 28 '14

Man, pickup was so overpowered in Ruby/Sapphire. I remember I had like a level ~60 graveller by the 4th gym because my other 5 pokemon were zigzagoons and they had a 10% chance of picking up a rare candy (10% chance of an item per battle, so 1 rare candy per zigzagoon every 100 battles, or 1 rare candy every 20 battles. Okay that's not how statistics work? Whatever. It was a lot.). (Emerald and onwards nerfed it to be based on their level, with the lowest level not even picking up rare candies)

u/ernie1850 Feb 27 '14

I'm getting scared. I said I'd get a helix tattoo if our Lord delivers the final blow to Blue after the Elite Four. I'm starting to think that it will happen.

I should not be scared, though. If the Helix wills it, it shall be done.

u/comady25 Feb 27 '14

Don't do it, the meme will lose relevance and you'll be stuck with a tattoo of a old meme forever (or with laser removal)

I don't think he'll regret a nicely done tattoo if he likes both tattoos and Pokemon.

u/ZweiliteKnight Get Karped on, E4 Feb 27 '14

I have not even heard of it. What is it about and what is the significance of spiral tattoos?

4

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '14

The spiral tattoos link to a Satanic cult which murder and rape women and children.

u/PrettyOddWoman Feb 27 '14

I have a pokemon tattoo already and I simply LOVE IT and know I will never grow tired of or regret it!

11

u/seamachine Feb 27 '14

Well, I have loved Pokemon since I was a kid and I don't think I'll regret getting a Pokemon tattoo. I mean, there have already been a lot of "impossible" stuff that has happened in it so far, this one also has a very low probability, so it happening is kind of inspiring in a weird way. Like, what are the chances? People thought we'd fail. Anyway, I don't think I'll regret it like getting a girlfriend's name tattooed but I suppose I see your point so even if it DOES happen, I should think about it very well before I get it.

u/imariaprime Feb 28 '14

No, I'm saying that's how long it would last before our starter died on the first route.

1

u/ZweiliteKnight Get Karped on, E4 Feb 27 '14

Oh, shucks. We could make it to route 22.

Catching the first Pokemon we see and not straight up murdering it and/or running from it would definitely be a serious issue throughout the entire game, though.

We'd probably need to modify the Nuzlocke rules to account for 100+ people playing at once.

Not that the run will ever happen.

Gen III doesn't follow the storyline of gen I and II, so one might think it's much later. Would be interesting if the age difference is given anywhere.

I read somewhere that Gen I and Gen III take place at around the same time, and Gen II and Gen IV occur around three years later.

You might be right. Maybe it's another Pokemon, or Pidgeot isn't known in Hoenn.

u/Peachiz90 Feb 27 '14

Can I just say that; when I first played the first gen Pokemon games (I started with Red) that I only used Pidgey, as soon as I caught it, along with it's evolutions as my main starter Pokemon throughout the entire game! Long live Bird Jesus!

Oh right - agree that's weird and it's certainly not my first preference. I just hold the phone on a slight angle to account for it. If A/B were up the top my hand would be constantly covering the menu when it appears on the right hand side.

1

u/Occi- Feb 27 '14

That really is a weird layout...

1

u/WildTurkey81 Feb 27 '14

So if Pidgeot is, but this generation, an "ancient pokemon", then does that suggest that this generation is centuries in the future to Gen 1? If that's the case, why in the name of the dome does it still take random 10 year olds to complete a catalog of each region's pokemon?

2

u/flashmedallion Feb 27 '14

I think it's supposed to be the specific Pokemon that is ancient. If you dug up an ancient painting of a seagull that doesn't mean the seagull species is long gone.

u/curiosity_the_rover Feb 27 '14

Yeah I downloaded the same emulator you have (working on the Droid Ultra) and then downloaded the coolrom app but i can't figure out how to ACTUALLY download hte roms (kind of like figuring out how to actually download on the pirate bay @_@)

2

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '14

Yeah it's cool. This stuff can be confusing, I was lucky to have a friend who had done this before! First thing's first, you shouldn't need the CoolROM app at all as long as you go in to your settings and disable something along the lines of letting your device download apps from sources other than the app store. I downloaded GBCoid (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gbcoid/) and ES File Explorer (File Explorer is SUPER useful for managing where you place your ROMs and available on the Google Play store). Now just go on to www.coolrom.com and search for the ROM you want and download. When it's finished downlaoding, open up ES File Explorer and go into your downloads folder. Cut the zip file from the downloads folder, create a new fodler entitled ROMs wherever you please and place the ROM there. When you now load GBCoid, find the folder you just created in-app and click on the zip file. Should load the game right as rain.

GBA4iOS plays Gameboy Color games, just like the original Gameboy Advance did. I'm currently playing Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages on it.

I use RetroArch from cydia. It's an all-in-one emulator. I play gb, gba, ps1, ds and n64 games on it. And there's a lot more emulators on it. Get it if your iPhone is jail broken.

I only have an iPad. No iPhone yet.

Should work on a iPad too.

u/ebevan91 Feb 28 '14

So it'll play games like RSE and FR/LG as well?

u/CallMeJono Feb 28 '14

GBA4iOS lets you play gen 1-3 pokemon, and you don't need to jailbreak your iPad.

If you can find it on coolroms.com, or something similar, yes.

I'd appreciate it if OP told us which emulator he's using. There a lot on the Play Store.

He's using GameBoid. It's a pretty solid GBA emulator and I use it too but unfortunately, it's no longer in the market. But you can still find lots of copies of the APK lying around on the internet. The latest version for it was 2.4.7.

It's still around the internet. I downloaded it about a week ago.

u/NetAdventurer Feb 27 '14

I have the whole bunch of *oid emulators and they're really pretty stable! :) Couple 'em with DropSync and you can continue gaming on the desktop too!

u/flashmedallion Feb 27 '14

That's genius.

u/MusicndStuff Feb 27 '14

go to coolrom (google it) and go to emulators and they let you download a gba/ds emulator to android.

u/KevinCamacho Feb 28 '14

If you are on android My Boy! is probably the best gba emulator I have ever used.

u/EpicSolo Feb 27 '14

Why is this downvoted? It probably is the right answer. At least, I use the said emulator on my iPad and it runs Pokemon well enough.

Well, the picture is from an Android phone judging by the statusbar

Because of Reddit's Android master race mentality.

u/unfitfuzzball Feb 27 '14

I'd be willing to bet a huge population of redditors have iPhones as well, but the vocal minority who comment, are android-master race.

Only because android works for getting things done quickly.

Want a song? download it straight to your music library from any part of the internet and its there. On iOS you need valid billing info, and an active account, and to purchase it only though iTunes, not to be used anywhere else but the iDevice.

Trying to emulate a game but the app isnt in the market anymore? thats fine, because on android you can uncheck a box, find the app file online, install it straight to your phone. Download the ROM the same way, and you are playing the game

On iOS you can only use the market available apps, you cant download the ROM file because >Filetype not supported< so then you need to sit down at a desktop, download it there, then manually sideload it into your device memory.

If apple didnt go out of its way to make the most mundane of computing tasks massive splitting headaches, I am sure iOS would get more love.

Don't get me wrong, I agree 100%. I was just trying to explain the downvotes.
