I bet he was trying to beat Brock's gym with like a level 4 Rattata and and level 5 Metapod or something.

Do you enjoy any role playing games?
"Fuks sake why does my pokemon only have defensive abilities!?!? Shit game!"
He may in fact be the only person on earth with that distinction. Even Twitch fecking beat it.
Such a cool Pokemon, my Shiny one is my pride and joy (sad).
The ones where I get to put on my robe and wizard hat are the bestest.
I'm awesome at it, it's just the game is poorly designed/coded... obviously.
My point about X is this. I just got to the bit where you fight the Mega-Gyarados (I don't want to ruin the story too much). Gyarados is a pretty scary Pokemon at the best of times, so you can imagine what I thought when it turned mega. But nope, it just outraged on my level 57 Delphox a few times, got itself confused and then that was it. I was expecting a much sterner test, if I'm honest.
Or maybe I expect Pokemon to be harder after playing lots of that Blaze Black 2 ROM.

Just noticed my tagline 
Lucky, back in the good 'ol days it would have been, "shit at Pokemon", which seems far more apt.
Never really found any difficulty in Pokemon games apart from the level 81 Pikachu (and other Pokemon in the 70 range) that I faced the first time with bunch of level 50s.
Red/Blue/yellow doesn't scale that well really. There are bugs (not the Pokémon) and things that don't make sense (ghost/physic if I recall)
Fire Red and Leaf Green are much more polished. Play those and Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald with the VBA Emulater (has trading).
Also you want to play it on superspeed because you have better things to do

Thing is when they split the special stat, they nerfed a bunch of pokemon, Gyarados being a notable looser. Red/Blue are different enough in Pokemon choices you might make. I still like to play the oldies every now and then, would love them on the 3DS's store.
True, Mewtwo with Amnesia in Gen I was nearly unbeatable.
Slowbro was a beast too.
So am I right in saying...
Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed and LeafGreen -> Black, White, Black2, White 2, HeartGold and SolidSilver -> X and Y?
Where "->" is transfers too.
To get every Pokemon on X and Y, do you "need" the previous generation? What about the one before?
Also, I heard there is frame rate issues with X and Y. Is that solved with a 3DSXL?
Any other info would also be good!

The original Gold is my favourite version. So many great memories.
Heartgold/Soulsilver might actually be the pinnacle of pokemon games.
100% they're easily my favourite. I've lost my heart gold though which is devastating.
On the new Pokemon, can you have multiple games going?
On White/Black on DS you could only have one going at any time right?

Still the same, just the one game.
Always one game. Multiple saves would be exploited to gain extra starters and junk.
Which would stop probably a large amount of people buying multiple copies of the game. "Encourage trading, la".

feck, just found out internal battery dried up on my Emerald version.
RIP.
Had that happen to all my GB and GBC games, yet a friends still worked fine. Didn't understand that as he had 1 and my family had about 10.. Yet all ours died.
Usage? Temperature?
GBA4iOS has suddenly stopped working. Was doing so well on FireRed too.
Did you phone or iPad run out of battery?
Nah it's something to do with the date and the last iOS update. Annoying.
The batteries are replaceable, if you don't mind opening the cart.
It's worse for GB/GBC ones, as your save gets wiped, GBA ones the time events just stop working.
My copy of Blue still works, but Silver and Gold stopped, odd.
In first and second generation games (Red/Blue upto Crystal), if your battery dies, then you're truly fecked. In Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald if your internal battery dies, you can still play, but the clock based activities like growing berries stop working.
I believe it just happens over time. If you really wanted to, you can get a replacement, though the batteries still cost like 10 quid and you need some weird tri-tipped screws. There's also a chance of fecking up the cartridge if you're not careful with it.
Well I never, just answering your question......
Yeah, seriously, it's shitty, would love multiple saves.
Just that it's not worth getting my kid sister a console too just for Pokemon when she can use mine.
Alock you don't even have a 3DS, you're not part of the family and we don't need you.
I knew 3 brothers who had one pokemon game between them. It was odd, they'd each have their own mons on the save that the others couldn't use, so every time one of them wanted to play, they'd have to swap to their box, and load their team. This was G/S too, where each box swap you had to save.
Must have drove them mental.

Olly
Yeah Earthquake. I guess it's always been a limitation but I didn't expect it from games back then, whereas now I do. Guessing I could just swap the sd card depending on who is playing the game right?

No, the save is to the cart, not the SD card.
When I'm next pissed off with my job I'm buying a 3DS and all the Pokemon games since LG/FR.
