Do a Twitch Plays Pokemon style thing. People can watch what happens while telling you exactly what to do. I'd bloody pay to do that.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Imagine the trolls "get naked" "stick your dick in the door" "slam the door"
Ah, good point, I don't think I'd be able to resist.
You say that like it wasn't plan a to begin with.

Thanks Damo.
I haven't played any hacked roms so far, do we need to have a patcher or something?

Has anyone played the Light Platinum hack?
Lunar IPS is the usual one, but there should be a readme with the hack that will tell yo everything you need.
I have it downloaded(alongside many more), but yet to be tackled.
Might want to clear your diary when you do start. It takes ages.
Is it worth playing through then?
I played through some, Snakewood was one I really liked, but it got a bit fecking loopy towards the end dungeons designed just to get lost for ages and pointlessly overleved crap so you had to grind to hell to get anywhere.
I don't know really. They hand you a load of Pokemon on a plate so you can build a really good team without even having to do anything, and I didn't really find any of it particularly challenging. It's got a fairly decent story, I guess. Part of the fun for me in Pokemon is building a team from what I can find, but you get given a starter from every gen, as well as more than a few fairly decent Pokemon.
A quick google search reveals the following freebies, with the first lot being your starter:
Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle
Elekid
Chikorita/Totodile/Charmander
Feebas (you have to catch it but it's piss easy to do so)
Growlithe
Pichu (same as Feebas)
Treecko/Torchic/Mudkip
Snorlax (same as Feebas)
Miltank
Eevee
Zorua
Larvitar
Dratini
Lapras
Drifloon
Spiritomb
Turtwig/Piplup/Chimchar
Snivy/Oshawott/Tepig
Magby
Riolu
Axew
There are also quite few easy trades to get good pokemon too, like Sandshrew for Graveler, Torkoal for Onix w/Steel Coat etc.
Christ, where is the fun in that?! You could walk the game without actually having to catch a single wild pokemon...
Half the fun if the game is early on when you most of your team is a weedle, spearow, ratatta and an ekans, or whatever mediocre "only pokemon available".

I didn't finish it. There's two regions and a World Championship, but I got fed up of it holding my hand through the whole thing. To make it interesting I tried to Nuzlocke it, but the first route is ridiculous for a Nuzlocke because you can't go back and heal anywhere, and it's got trainer battles and Venipedes.
I wouldn't bother really. I'm still only partway through, but Pokemon Brown has been alright so far.
Ah feck I actually wanted the rom of the hacked version. I've already finished up Pokemon Black 2.
Ah feck, I thought it was the rom of the hacked version too (not had chance to play it yet). So guess it's just the original Black 2?
It's not a hacked version? O.o
I've heard Brown is good. Might have it downloaded somewhere too.
Yep, it's the original.
You're looking for Black with the Blaze patch already installed is it?
yep, sort of like that.
Well, I could upload it somewhere, but the story isn't any different, just the mons you can find.
Ah sod it then.
Any other hacked roms you like then man?
Preferably completed and not half baked.
Tbh, I haven't played a great deal of them, all the most interesting ones tend to drop off, as their makers end up too ambitious.
The Ruby Destiny Trilogy look quite good, but the guy added some of his own pokemon, some people don't like that kind of thing.
Flora Sky looks to be the best, most complete, though.
I remember running around in that first forest area with the caterpies and weedles for ages to get Pikachu. I knew you could find them there because I had a Nintendo game magazine with a lot of tips and tricks. Was so happy when I got him! Must have been around 10 years old.
Think I'm gonna do a Platinum play through but only use pokemon I wouldn't use usually. Starter is getting boxed straight away.
When I do this I'll stream it and the caf decides how to proceed. Won't be for a few weeks though, and I need to figure out how to make it democratic.
Actually screw it, I'm doing a Nuzlocke run, not sure which game yet though.
What's a nuzlocke run?
Basically you have to catch the first pokemon you encounter in each zone, and if a pokemon faints you consider it dead and release it.
That sounds quality in all fairness. Like a hardcore mode then.
Yeah I've never done one before but I'm keen.
Some people also so a shiny quest where they attempt to catch a shiny before each gym. But that's long as feck.
I only use a starter on my first playthrough, after that, they get boxed once I have another pokemon up to level.
Nuzlockes are brilliant, but you can end up making a maistake in battle, and loosing your shitty bidoof that's been with you for ages and be heartbroken.
Also, not a hard rule, but highly recommended to give every mon you catch a nickname.
You don't have to release the KO'd pokemon either, a lot make special "graveyard boxes" for the fainted mons.
I still miss my Bibarel "Doink", last big battle too and I forgot the mechanics of a move, leaving him in too long. After that I would have caught some stuff in the next two routes for battling and he could have been exclusively my HM
Balls to that, I've honestly only ever seen 3 legit shiny pokemon(excluding Gyarados), since the GS gen. A Grimer, a Nidoran(female) and an Electrode(on a rom
. I still have the Muk and an *excellent* Nidoqueen. Just a shame the Nidoqueen was pre B/W, so no Sheer Force. It has Poison Point though, which can be handy.A mate had a shiny Ratatta, in Gold, though.
feck it, I feel like playing a Pokemon Game today. Been sick since morning. Any suggestions, since I've completed all of them and don't know what to play.
I just acquired a copy of sapphire totally legit like for my iPad. Think I'm gonna do that as it's the generation I've played the least.

I've only come across two. One was a shiny Clauncher I chain fished for and the other was a shiny Druddigon I bread with the Mesuda method.
That's it then. I'm also gonna acquire Sapphire and start playing it soon.
I am going to be looking out for an Advance soon though, much prefer playing who buttons than iPad but hey.
