I've recently stumbled across a list of names banned in gen 5, and one of them cracks me up for some reason.

Why JESUSSUCKS? Why not ban words like FUCKJESUS or IH8JESUS, or just banning the mention of religious figures in general? This one word combination is just so specific, I can't get over it.
That's not even how you spell Gyppo, ninty

So, I can still use "Assface"?
 
So as it turns out I can use an R4 to unlock Gen 3 events.

Unlocked Deoxys and Ho-Oh/Lugia on a copy of LG and E, also found a way to override the region data on E so I could get my hands on the Old Sea Map. I am now the proud owner of a Gen 3 Mew. I'm going to try the Eon Ticket event next.

EDIT: Eon Ticket Works too!

IV Breeding is a pain in the anus, but it sure is worthwhile seeing all these quadriperfect/pentaperfect couples ready for breeding. It's a work in progress, since I've recently started cleaning up and rebreeding, but I think it's coming along nicely, considering I have over 3 boxes of couples.

If middle school me could breed for a 5IV [Mega] Houndoom and a whole competitive team, before I got traded a 6IV Ditto, you definitely got it, man.
 
Posting an honest question here.

In both versions of the Battle Frontier, which facilities annoyed you the most?
Emerald: Most of the facilities are fairly difficult in this one, IMO, but I'm personally going with the Battle Pike. As much as I Love Lucy (lol), the Battle Pike always felt like an exercise in frustration. Maybe I just had terrible luck, but I never seemed to get anything good every time I tried. I'm assuming that's why they made Lucy fairly easy to beat (Seviper in both rounds? Really?).

PlHGSS: I found these facilities much easier than Gen 3's (though it may be because I was using stronger Pokemon, idk.) I actually got all the gold prints in Platinum. I'll probably just say the Battle Tower, due to that facility being a classic staple of Pokemon's "RNG" (read: Here comes a trainer with a team that perfectly counters yours! What are the odds?!") screwing you over.

You don't even need a 6IV Ditto. Well in the cases of genderless Pokemon you'll need Dittos, but otherwise, just breed 6IV male pokemon of various different egg groups and you're good to go. For example, here's a list of Pokemon acquirable in Sword and Shield that can cover every egg group:

Grookey
Field/Grass

Chewtle
Monster/Water 1

Snorunt
Fairy/Mineral

Ralts
Human-Like/Amorphous

Magikarp
Water 2/Dragon

Skorupi
Bug/Water 3

Rookidee
Flying

For me, it was the Battle Hall and the Battle Tower (both versions).

Seriously, what are the odds that the AI has a team that not only perfectly counters yours, but has just the right items (Focus Sash), and secondary effects being more potent than they usually are, or the critical hit ratio is abnormally high? It isn't even about having the "perfect strategy" when an inopportune critical nails not one, not two, but all three of your team.

No matter how perfect you build a team or what strategy you use, the algorithmic AI can and will break through it every once in a while.
 
How do I win the slot machines in the Celadon City Game Corner? Please help or I will ban you.
On emulator, speed-up button/toggle speed up, and mash the buttons to start/stop.

If pair it with autofire, sit back and watch the grind. You'll hit so many jackpots, I give it an hour or so until you reach max coins.

You can button mash at the highest speed, or you could slow the emulator down and have real good kinetic vision.

Or, you reach 9999 coins and save state it as a reservoir for getting TMs and pokemon at any given time that you can trade into your "main game". That's what I do. :smug:

You have better luck in DPP/HGSS with the coin game by using Drastic because you can use save states that you can load in case you pick wrong.

Easy answer to both: The Battle Tower. It's the most boring and standard option, and has zero variety to how battles are fought other than what the opponent uses.

To avoid the easy answer and talk about the actually interesting facilities:

In Emerald, the Battle Palace. Having the AI take control of your own Pokemon to do the battle takes a lot of the fun out of it for me, I'd much rather have a funny gimmick to play around with in the facility like the hint and guess system of the next room in the Battle Pike.

In Platinum, I don't have much experience with the Frontier, but with what little experience I have probably the Battle Arcade. Having an essentially random chance to start a battle with a status condition is ass.

Yeah, the Battle Tower can get generic and boring after a while. However, to me, it makes for good training and practice. Especially if I find myself playing with someone competitively.

Slightly disagree with you on the Battle Arcade, but yeah, getting statuses is a bitch. Unless you're really good or you have a retarded amount of luck, you're gonna be in for a wild ride. I actually find the roulette fun, especially if I end up screwing my opponent with a status or nicking a quarter health (which is more of a bitch if it happens to you).

The facility that I find more annoying by comparison is indeed the Battle Palace. It's fun the first time, but really, it's just the AI using your Pokémon attacks, and depending on your team's nature or we were stupid enough to have two phase moves, makes for some good time wasting lol

I'm only going off of the Gen. IV version of the Battle Frontier here, but the Battle Factory, definitely.

"Oh, here, use our crappy Pokémon against random NPCs who just so happen to have exactly what they need to counter them."

The Battle Arcade's the easiest facility by far. If they'd made it genuinely random as to which event you got for each battle, it could've been something. As it is, you just need to time things well, and you can basically just pick whatever status condition you want to inflict upon your opponents each round.

Thank you, fellow Breeder.

I have turbo autism, and want specific Pokémon for specific Egg moves and Egg move combinations. Regardless, thanks for this list.
