Announcement Important Announcement in Regards to Posts and Comments.

61 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm the main active mod in this subreddit! I'm very happy to see our community grow and everyone engaging in conversation! it's always nice seeing other players help each other out!

I have noticed, however, MANY disrespectful/rude comments as of late. There is already a rule for the bot to remove anything with curse words (this has been around for a while. I'm unsure if people have noticed). Even so, I have seen MANY rude comments. This is a subreddit for all ages, including young individuals.

People shouldn't be judged for asking a question about the game, showing off their collection, or simply trying to help someone else. I'm now applying a 1 warning rule. I get notices in my Queue about removed comments (which has been blowing up lately!!!). I always double check them (just in case there was a mistake) and depending on the comment, I will make note of it on your profile and you will get a strike. If another comment from the same individual comes up and it turns out to be another disrespectful comment, you will be permanently banned.

While most of the comments are automatically removed, I went through and made sure everyone involved got a modmail message. So, if you get a modmail from a comment that you made months ago, that's why, lol. I didn't worry about sending a modmail at the time (yes, I did see it) since it was already removed, but this allows me to ensure that you have been informed and your account has a note on it for us mods to see.

I will also note, please don't false report a post. I've seen some reports that aren't even related to the report. For example: I saw a post reported for being NSFW and related to minors. The post had NOTHING to do with that. Whoever reported it just wanted it removed because they didn't agree with it. Well, I manually check the reports, so please don't make false reports.

Of course, if you think your comment was removed by mistake, feel free to send a modmail! I will answer when I see it and approve it if necessary!

This is apparently a big issue with this subreddit and the FireRed subreddit. I'm going to crack down on this as much as possible so everyone can have a positive experience here! It's a lot of work for one person, but I can manage it!

PLEASE READ the rules before posting. For those breaking them, please be more respectful in the future. With that, I end my post. : )

Shiny Pokemon After one attempt…

I’m doing a shiny only run where I can’t use shiny Pokemons to battle but I JUST got back on the game to continue my hunt for my next shiny and I decided to fish and I got this on the first go 😭 also my shiny starter charmander I managed to get only after a week of trying (2-3 hours a day). I don’t keep count of how many resets I do but compared to my last shiny torchic, this one was much faster!

And yes, I’m aware the IRL reason was so players can add seen data of the base form of the fossil they didn’t choose to the dex

Looking for Advice Advice on 6th team member

1 Upvotes

Im planning out a Leafgreen playthrough on GBA and need some advice on a 6th member that doesn't overlap with others.

So far I'm planning on Charizard (Fire and Flyer), Nidoqueen (Earthquaker and early physical power), Staryu (Surfer and Psychic), Kangaskahn (Late physical attacker, Strength, Fighting moves) and Dratini (All around mixed and Outrage)

Im kinda tempted to ditch my Charizard and just split them into Dodrio (Flyer, tri attack, drill peck) and Ninetales/Rapidash (Ninetales for Statuses or Rapidash for better mixed attack)

A few that i know are not going to be used are koffing, grimer, oddish, paras, porygon and flareon as these i have planned for different games.

EDIT I have decided on the team - Charizard (Flyer), Raichu (Mixed Attacker and support), Nidoqueen (Earthquaker, Pure Attacker) , Hypno (Anti-Psychic), Slowbro (Surfer, cant be used in any other gen 3 game), Dragonair/nite (Never used before so want to try)

Looking for Advice Accidentally fainted Zapdos in Pokémon LeafGreen and saved — can I get it back?

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need some help. I was playing Pokémon LeafGreen on John GBA Lite on Android and accidentally fainted Zapdos at the Power Plant. Unfortunately, I saved the game after it fainted. Is there any safe way to get Zapdos back without losing all my game progress? I restore the .sav0 make Zapdos respawn, or use a save editor to add a legitimate level 50 Zapdos?

I would really appreciate step-by-step advice, especially for Android. Thanks!

Got my Pikachu in viridian forest just before leaving and my male Nidoran took me about 10 minutes to get which I was very surprised about considering online says they only have a 1% spawn rate. Bought Magikarp for the $500 and have been switch training since. Made it to Cerulean city, beat my rival, the 5 trainers on the bridge and the team rocket grunt at the end. So the time on my save i pretty close to actually play time. I think 5min of it is idle time and about 20 for training my Charmander to beat Brock.

I’m not a hardcore Pokemon player so the have a save file start this well feel really good
