Gaming Pokémon Strumfest

Thinking in X turning the exp share off should probably done or it'll be too easy.
 
It could be kinda easy, as you won't be changing mons often.

On the other side, it could be a tool to make the game much more fun too, as when one of your team dies, it can be used to speed up bringing a new guy up to standards.
 
Me and my mates are absolutely desperate to play one of these newer games on the PC with an emulator, but only if there is a way we can battle or trade.

Anyone have any ideas? Can send you a copy of Civ 4 if someone can sort me.
 
It's begun, White 2. Just boxed my Tepig after catching a level 4 Patrat called Clive. Let's see how this goes.

How'd you get it working Snowjoe? It was really slow on my iPad. What emulator did you use?

My emulator runs real sluggish on my iPad as well, I've gone back to just using the legit game on my DS.

I found setting the frame skip higher helped but it's still not great to play.
 
Doing a Nuzlocke on Fire Red Omega. Mt. Moon has claimed 3 of my team so far. I've got the three Hoenn starters boxed as my emergency team, but I'm trying to avoid using anything I'm given. Currently got an Elekid, a Swablu and Lunatone making up my team, with a couple of shitty extras as reserves. The Lunatone in my team claimed the Gloom that dragged me through the first gym, as well as a Nosepass I'd been trying to level up. I caught a Slugma but a Clefairy landed two critical hits with a doubleslap and killed him. Need to keep Elekid alive for Misty's gym or it could be game over.
 
Those crits are a nightmare! That double slap sounds like such a bastard, I'd have been raging.

Ive just started one on X. Started with Fennekin and caught a pidgey, now to see what the forest gives me, there's a lot of variety in here.

A level 2 Weedle was not what I was hoping for :lol:

I'm naming them all united player names to make it worse when they have to be boxed!
 
I forgot i had Heart Gold on my DS. It's sat for ages without me playing it but i should probably get around to doing so, 16 badge game right?

OpenEmu runs great on my Mac so maybe that will do the job on Ipad.
 
Not sure I've mainly been following the live updates feed.

Edit: "7d 4h 28m: Twitchplayspokemon: the new system takes 20 inputs and chooses one at random Apparently thats how it works now, but he just shortened it to 10 inputs."
 
The excitement and hype seems to have faded.

I know they wanted to capitalise on the success of the first one, but starting the second just 24 hours later was a mistake, I think. The first few days were spent with people arguing about references to the first run, and whether they were funny or not. That sort of thing is still going on, but people are now arguing over whether they should release Feraligatr, and whether the new Democracy/Anarchy system works.

They should have left it a month of two and then started it up again. I imagine it would have still managed to draw a large number of people to it, but people wouldn't have been quite as desperate to recreate the first run.
 
Even if they gave a few weeks cool down.

Trying to recreate the first is stupid too, should be it's own deal.

You can probably loosely group the people involved into 3 categories:

  1. Those who desperately want to recreate the first run, and will force events to ensure that happens, i.e. releasing Feraligatr as they did with Charmeleon.
  2. Those who don't give a feck and just play.
  3. Those who desperately want it to be different from the first run, and will do everything in their power to ensure that nothing similar happens, i.e. not having Eevee as the 'false prophet', shutting down anyone who talks about Helix, not allowing anyone to refer to the Pidgey line as Bird Jesus.
 
Ok so in the first 5 minutes of leaving the home town in Blaze Black 2 I've already caught a Pidgey, Wurmple, Purrlion, Patrat and Kricketot :lol:

I can see this taking a while!
 
Yeah, it's a bit crazy. It's why I don't much like the all pokemon mods for Nuzlockes, as you get too wide a variety of stuff too early and easily.

I mean, with some care and decent tactics, all you're short there is a HM slave, and you could probably clear the game.

You're right. I'm not even sure what my plan is at the moment - I'm just catching everything I come across! Would quite like to catch a Ralts, Mankey or Bagon but they're all about 4% likelihood to appear apparently.

Mankeys! :drool: Used to love them in gen 1, haven't trained one since though!
 
I've been playing Emerald. I have a Grovyle named Lizarazu, a Wingull called Steve, a Kadabra named Keanu, an Aron called A-A-Ron and a Sableye named Ozil.
 
Mankeys! :drool: Used to love them in gen 1, haven't trained one since though!

They're one of my favourites - so powerful! If you get in a tight spot then you can guarantee Mankey will hurt them enough for you to scrape through.

Just found out that Flocessy ranch can get you a Tyrogue, Mareep and Houndour though... tough choices.
 
Mankeys are beasts. In my FireRed game on my phone I just one punched everything in the face.
 
Just about to have a little play with the BlazeBlack to see what pokemon crop up. Then I need to play some final fantasy or @Tomalonge will get mad.

It's really interesting, so many decisions to make! Use this link that tells you on what routes you can find which Pokemon
 
In the past, everytime I tried to play the NDS emulators I got annoyed because:

1) They didn't run very well on my old computer (new computer is fine)
2) The game looks tiny because you cant expand the emulator (found a way to fix that)
3) - The game is locked to 100% speed.
4) - No Trading

I cant play pokemon at 100% speed anymore, it's too slow. I played GBA Roms for years and got that working with trading and battling and it was brilliant. Has anyone got some emulators with trading, and faster than 100% speed?
 
I'm not even at the first gym yet and I've already changed nearly entire team! It's now Oshawott, Mareep, Lillipup, Riolu, Sewaddle and Pidgey.

I'm going to get spanked at this gym.
