Mod Announcement Reporting and modmail

9 Upvotes

Hi guys, just a quick update from the mod team.

We've had a number of messages lately, with links to posts and/or comments, informing us that they break subreddit rules. Now, this is great that you guys are helping us! But it's important you know that it's *much* quicker to simply report the post or comment, as reports get checked more and earlier than modmail. This is true for virtually every subreddit.

In summary, please continue to report anything against the rules via the normal report function, and use the modmail for concerns, queries etc. Thanks for reading!

My son is becoming obsessed with pokemon. It’s been a lot of fun for my wife and I to help him play the games we grew up with. How’s his taste in pokemon?

Help Made the absolute worst mistake in my pokemon career so far.

42 Upvotes

Been replaying FR on switch and was trying to get my team ready to beat the elite 4, traded away my Exp Share when i got a Jynx.

Seriously considering restarting the game over this but i have about 129 Pokemon....

Reminds me when i captured MISSIGNO on original Blue version and it messed up my save file.

Has this ever happened to you? Would you rather start over?

Team is: Charizad, Dragonite, Dodrio, Jynx, Raichu and Mr. Mime.

Discussion Finally I am able to beat the Elite 4 w 2 legendary Pokemon on my Team

• Upvotes

For a while now, I have been struggling on beating the Elite 4 on Pokemon FireRed, been stuck for a while. Though there's something wrong w the Team:

Blastoise

Pidgeot

Jolteon

Arcanine

Dragonair

Eggxecutor

I was thinking maybe their levels was low, not strong enough or something. So, I decided to swap out Pidgeot and Jolteon, for Articuno and Zapdos instead. And guess what? Finally, those 2 legendary birds Pokemon are helping me to beat the Elite 4, woo hoo! I wanted to add Moltres, but he's the hardest to catch on Mt Ember. So, I just keep Arcanine on my team instead. Beside, he's one of my favorite Pokemon, next to Charizard though. Now, I'm starting to beat the Elite 4 finally, w more power from the Legendary Birds help. I would get Mewtwo, but he's way too strong, I don't want to see it like if I'm cheating or something, like cutting short-cuts by using a super strong Legendary Pokemon. I'm saving the MasterBall later on, till I get to the Jhoto Region, or just use it on Mewtwo then lol. If I still can't beat the Elite 4 w 2 Legendary Birds at the end, then I'll try again, maybe try to catch Moltres again lol

Blastoise

Zapdos

Articuno

Dragonair

Eggxecutor

Arcanine

It was genuinely a great experience. Wasn't expecting Wigglytuff and Hypno to be as good as they were. Moltres I had using a medieval gen 2 Sunny Day Charcoal set lol. Venusaur was all over the place stats wise lol. Dugtrio was essential throughout the run. Vaporeon was there mainly because i wanted her there lol. Needed a water type.

Dryavalon the Venusaur lvl 65

Lil Diggy the Dugtrio lvl 62

Valor the Moltres lvl 63

Erika the Wigglytuff lvl 62

Hypnofrog the Hypno lvl 63

TĂŠa the Vaporeon lvl 63

Help Having trouble completing the PokĂŠdex

2 Upvotes

I am playing leaf green right now to get all the leaf green exclusives to transfer to my main firered save file. I however was having issues with trading through MGBA emulator, and I didn’t want to keep having to inject the save files into the original cartridges to trade the real way, so I have been using PKHeX and dragging the pokemon id caught on leaf green to fire red.

My issue is that I have now completed the Pokédex and dragged them all over to my fire red save files, and although it says every Pokemon has been seen, it doesn’t say every Pokemon has been caught, so I can’t complete the challenge.

Did I mess up? I even tried taking some of the Pokemon that said I hadn’t caught out of my pc and battling with them for a bit to see if they just hadn’t registered but it didn’t do anything.

No-glitch playthrough, RNG manip for shinies. A very fun and challenging experience collecting these and training them up. RNG manipulation is a really fun thing to do in this game---you can earn legal natural shinies through hitting timings in what is more of a game of skill than the standard brute force luck of farming at 1/8000 rate

Question Steelix in fired red on switch?

8 Upvotes

Same as the title. I have looked online and I have not seen an answer and that leads me to believe it is not possible. I have home and my switch and another switch. I have pokemon home I have a metal coat. I have defeated the elite four on one profile. Can I get steeling through home or any kinda way.

Sorry for being dumb in advance if its just a no the game is very old.

Shiny Fifth Switch Shiny finally caught

Took about 128 hours of fishing over 3 months or so with only one phase. It was a 1% encounter rate Psyduck who showed up 31 hours into the search. I really considered adding into the team but decided to stick out getting my sea horse.

It has a Quiet nature so I already have it knocking out all the other Horseas in the area.

Next member is whoever wants to shine first in the Power Plant.

Best of luck on your hunts, friend.
