Why would you want to play ZA when Pokémon SOVLsilver is available right now?

truth

>>58372219 (OP)
probably because I played it a dozen times years ago and I’m not autistic and am therefore not capable of playing it another dozen more times in current year. Need new vidya with pokemon creatures

>remember the slow
You know there’s a speed up option on Desmume right anon?

I don't have a DS or 3DS and I like playing on actual hardware.

>>58372238
Based, HGSS fucking suck. Johto is an extremely boring region and half the “gameplay” is shit minigames for rewards handled better in better games or waiting for arbitrary time games to open.

>>58372238
>remember the tedium of transferring Pokémon -> Gen V -> Poké Transporter -> Pokémon Bank -> Pokémon Home

Instantly have no desire to replay older Pokémon games.

>>58372238
yeah but
>remember it has no ranked online
ywnbaw

I played it on my Switch with a Flip Grip a few years ago and after all the badges and legendaries it didn't feel worth it. I haven't done anything else since.

>>58372238
Most of these are good things but sure

fag

GEM

Shiny new toy

Because I'm not a little brown who can't afford new vidya. Full disclosure here's all what I currently own (as well as the game units to PLAY all those carts on) but I've not actually gone back more than three Generations to play a pokémon game, because even going back two highlights all the flaws inherent in playing games made for older, shittier handhelds. And when I find this shiny Nidoran I'm after (one way or another, horde hunting in X while trying to spawn one in LGE's route 9 with a 31 catch combo and max lure), I'll only need to hunt in friend safaris, assuming my targets aren't just included in L: Z-A or Gen 10.
Why do I need to fixate on 16 year old games still?

>Remember the wonky level curve and no exp all
HGSS are some of my favorite games, but man, that tires me.

>>58372309
Wow look at mr big shot here he can afford a switch so you know he’s loaded

>>58372309
heartgold costs about as much as a switch 2 though

>>58372219 (OP)
Why play the standalone games at all? Isnt there literally some Pokemon MMO that has all regions in it and you can go around battling in it

My pic PokeMMO i think it was called.

>>58372352
>Forgot pic

>>58372352
>Isnt there literally some Pokemon MMO that has all regions in it
not all of them, only the first five, it also has increased difficulty for most fights, the only downside is that the economy is extra jewish but if you don't care about the MMO bit yeah it's basically just a remaster of the first 5 gens
in other words you should play it right now

>>58372236
play hack roms and fangames instead of nu gen shit

>>58372219 (OP)
I'm playing it right now in original with Cute Charm exploit and it's pure fun.

>>58372219 (OP)
I'm playing it

>>58372339
Not when I got my copies they didn't. Mind, I bought one with roobucks and one with sterling, so it was all funny-money to me anyway.

Yep, it's kino, don't need to read the rest

>>58372219 (OP)
because it's NEW!

>>58372360
Pokemmo is good, I just made a thread asking about it and yeah honestly the less you treat it like an mmo and the more you treat it like a difficulty mod the more enjoyable it is. I can’t speak for the high level economy because I’m still pretty new but buying pokemon and items I need hasn’t been a problem.

>>58372438
Based. Fuck niggers who don't still have their hard copies of the game. They aren't/weren't real fans that treasured their time.

That, and buying replacement copies to fill a hole isn't the same as the actual carts you played with.

>>58372438
Have you had issues with omega ruby cartridge? mine stopped working a few years ago and I guess it's a common problem

>>58372535
NTA, but Alpha Sapphire still works a dream. Ruby niggers BTFO

I like everything about Legends Z-A, EXCEPT for the most important thing: the battles. I hate that this game is not turn-based. So I'm not going to buy it day 1, but I will still probably try it later on.

But yeah, I'm currently playing USUM and LGPE (two of my favorite Pokemon games ever) and I'm having a great time.

>>58372219 (OP)
Because sovlsilver doesn’t have Delphox.

>>58372870
it has ninetales

>>58372219 (OP)
i played it recently and got kinda stuck at vermillion city because my two most leveled mons are a level 51 thyplosion and a level 50 noctowl

>>58372238

>>58372242
emulator features are not an excuse

Fuck HGSS dickriders

>>58372238

The post that killed johtoddlers

>>58372219 (OP)
how can you get an epic adventure game and finding a legendary pokemon out of nowhere in a game like ZA where you're stuck in one city?

>>58373480
>epic adventure game
>johto, the smallest and emptiest region
pick one

>>58373490
you know what I mean, it doesn't have to be only HGSS

>>58373501
fair.

>Not playing HeartGold instead

Don't listen to the anti-Johto people mocking you, listen to me mocking you for playing the inferior version instead

>>58372238
How much is gamefreak paying you to post this?
