...and even James here is about 16, canonically.

Late and lost in the ROMhack sperging. Jessie and James are the same age, and Jessie was mentioned to be almost 25 in the official "The Birth of Mewtwo" radio drama. Some sources in the U.S. databook releases mention late-teens, which usually meant they were 19 at the oldest.
 
In one of the comics they were too old to either get it together enough for the Pokemon league or to go back to school, and a couple of years (maybe even one year?) after the events of the comic had decided to settle down and get married and Jesse is knocked up. I’m guessing older than 16 then.

I was thinking of the episode where Jessie signs up as an idol in disguise, and it says she's 17. A little googling says Bulbapedia had 16 unsourced for a while. There's even an episode where Jessie says 120 is 10x her age - she could be joking or exaggerating though. She could be lying about the idol thing too I guess.

Maybe the answer is they're canonically 12-22 at all times, lol

There is some cringe like having romantic interactions but Pokémon Emerald Enhanced is my favorite way to play Hoenn, it gives new life by adding a ton of features from future games and adding new stuff like map expansions and some story changes (like deciding to help team aqua or magma)

Alright, I think I’m sold on Emerald Enhanced. I don’t know who first decided Pokemon should have an achievement system with rewards, but they deserve an award.

Forget what I said here, didn’t realize Enhanced was a Kaizo hack. So much work and so many new features, and they never thought to include difficulty settings *sigh*

If you're into this sort of thing and you want rewards for your "official" vanilla games, I suggest giving Trigger's PC a try. I talked about it before, it's basically Pokemon Bank for your third gen games(GC games included), one of it's features is giving you rewards for completing objectives(usually finishing the game). Those include: Hard to get berries, Bankable Legendary Pokemon, Tickets to catch even more Bankable Legendary Pokemon, or the ability to use both bikes at the same time. Works with every save file, even romhacks(if they can be read by the software that is)

So what's the best way to play each generation (or at least the first three)? I know it's a very subjective question, but it feels like a new improvement/enhancement/balance/full-Pokedex/whatever-the-fuck hack is released every week, and I've lost count.

For what it's worth, I prefer hacks that don't alter base stats/moves/type matchups. I'll make an exception if something like that is altered to match a newer game, but that's it.

For the Third Generation, I would suggest playing Revelation Emerald if you want a minimalist QoL romhack, I already talked about it ITT. Since they fall into the third generation, Grand Colosseum and XG: NeXt Gen are also fantastic GC title romhacks.
As for the first two gens, I haven't tried any for now, but base FRLG and HGSS are good enough for me.
 
Since we're talking about Pokemon fangames here, I just like to say I like ones that shake up the formula or broad changes for the better or worse, because they're fun to see someone's mindset on what they could consider better or worse. I like insane shit in my Pokemon games because vanilla ain't cutting it for me anymore.

Even though I know an intern or social media grunt is behind these simple posts, it hurts so much...

Every time I see their channel I think it's a fake fan one. Even the channel name looks unofficial. You'd think with the JP TV show, the game etc, it'd just be "The Pokemon Channel".

Relax, the cool thing about Enhanced is that you will rotate your team a lot, so you will be able to have multiple 100 or 125 pokemons and the game isn't hard at all.

I spent the whole day playing the Volt White Redux and I am so fucking angry.

They left the final mission behind watching all 650 pokémon except not all of them are in the game and you must breed or do some mumbo jumbo. I just wanted go fight N and ghetsis again with my shiny Masquerain.


I spent literally the whole afternoon catching legendaries and doing missions until: lol you need a permit to go to this island and fight ghetsis and N again lol.

Holy fuck why would you do this?
 
Alright, here's my write-up on TCG Pocket...
  • The app itself is very pretty, it's honestly a better glow-up than TPCi's TCG Live app.
  • Missions are a great way to get items like Pack Hourglasses (which can be used to speed up the pack timer to an extent), Wonder Pick Hourglasses (which are similar to Pack Hourglasses but function on a different time conversion table), Shop tickets (which can be exchanged for the first two items, card cosmetics, and certain promo cards), and Shine Dust (which can be traded alongside excess cards for an additional holo effect called Flair that can be applied to cards).
  • Matches go by quickly due to the changes they made to TCG's rules.
  • You can play against other people and play a computer opponent in two different modes with the latter having different levels of difficulty.
  • You’re given “rental” decks for completing certain missions that can be used in the game’s single-player mode.
  • The pack openings are better than Live's by a wide margin.
  • AFAICT monetization is surprisingly light, purchases only consist of PokéGold (which can be used to open packs in the form of cutting the timer down by two hours per PokéGold unit) and the monthly premium pass (which nets you an extra pack every 24 hours and access to premium missions that nets you items and promo cards) the first two weeks are also free.
  • Once you complete your daily missions, open one-to-two packs (depending on how long you wait between plays), do a Wonder Pick, and get a few matches in there’s not much else to do in the game. TPCi’s Pokémon TCG Live app suffers from this as well but you can at least use it to practice the IRL game if you’re competitive.
  • You‘ll be opening a fair amount of packs before you see anything higher than a three-diamond rarity card, even more so if you‘re hunting cards like the new Immersive Illustration Rares and Crown Rares.
  • The Pack and Wonder Pick Hourglasses you get in the shop have a hard limit on how many you can get, once you reach that limit you can’t get any more until the shop resets (which is assumed to be monthly).
  • A meta has already formed in regards what decks are the best for matches, it’s currently a toss-up between Pikachu ex decks and Starmie ex/Articuno ex decks.
  • Rental decks, despite being limited to single-player mode and not actually adding the cards to your collection, have 10-use limits and it makes no difference if you win or lose the match.[/ISPOILER]

Great taste. Love my leafy boi. One of these days I'm going to run some game with Leavanny, Paras and the grass-type Wormadam. It'll be great

Ran one during my playthrough of White 2. Even though I still like Scolipede more, Stitches (my Leavanny) was such an asset.
