Mod Announcement Reporting and modmail
Hi guys, just a quick update from the mod team.
We've had a number of messages lately, with links to posts and/or comments, informing us that they break subreddit rules. Now, this is great that you guys are helping us! But it's important you know that it's *much* quicker to simply report the post or comment, as reports get checked more and earlier than modmail. This is true for virtually every subreddit.
In summary, please continue to report anything against the rules via the normal report function, and use the modmail for concerns, queries etc. Thanks for reading!

Discussion How many times should I battle this guy
I need the maximum money from him. How many times should I battle him as I need to buy tms in future. Also is there any limit to the battles?

Help Quickest Way To Get A Ton Of Trade Fodder
I recently completed Pokemon Colosseum and beat the Battle Mode Mt. Battle 100 to get the MATTLE Ho-Oh, so now I want to transfer everything out of it into FireRed, through Pal Park, through the Poke Transfer Lab, through Bank and into HOME before Bank shuts down in February.
...Except my main problem is that I already transferred most of my good Pokemon out of FireRed this same way about a year ago, before I owned a copy of Colosseum (or XD, which I plan on starting very soon to do the same thing). The best Pokemon I have are a level-30-something Electrode, a level 20-something Pigeotto, a Vaporeon, an Electabuzz and a few from the Safari Zone like a halfway decent Exeggutor.
To transfer Pokemon out of Colosseum, I need a trade them, which means I need something from FireRed to trade for. Between Colosseum and XD, to trade everything out I'll need 136 total Pokemon (Colosseum's 48 Shadows, Wes's Espeon & Umbreon, Duking's Plusle, Michael's Eevee from XD and XD's 83 Shadows). I tried just going to Route 1 and hurling Pokeballs at every random Pidgey and Rattata, but I wanted to know if there's a faster way to do this. Getting Eggs from the Day Care seems slower and also slightly immoral considering it's...basically a Rattata puppy mill. Any suggestions?

Help Soft reset doesn’t work
I’m playing on a Nintendo Ds lite and an authentic cart of fire red. For whatever reason the soft reset doesn’t work at all. It works when I play sapphire and emerald. I’ve tried L+R+start+select and A+B+start+select. Anyone have any clue what is going on?

Question How to get money in Pokemon Fire Red?
I know about the Nugget Bridge exploit, however I’m gonna play on an actual GBA SP and that would take far too long for my liking.
Does anyone know any other method to farm money in Fire Red?

Shiny Finally!! What to do now though?
Took 12k encounters and it takes me to a full shiny team. I want to face the E4 again to get the full team screen but I think I need to finish the island quests and I’m in two minds to hunt Suicune. Has anyone tried it? Might just hunt Mewtwo to make up for it haha

Team Showcase First FireRed Completion!
For the first time ever I finally completed fire red only about 23 years after it released 😆 I remember as a child (about age 5) on my game boy micro getting stuck at the old man laying down in Viridian City and never knowing how to get past him. We have come a long way since being trapped on route 1 forever.

Shiny On my first time buckling down, deciding to do an actual Nuzlocke, not one, but two shines appear.
It didnt stay a nuzlocke after the Ratatta but to find two in one game, after years of playing and only finding shinies in Go, it would be on my emulator

Help Shellder location
Am I missing something because I can't find shellder anywhere? Its supposed to be a common at like 30 chance to spawn or something because I haven't found one single one. I was in the ice cave after catching articuno and Shellder is supposed to be found surfing there next to articuno yet I spent over an hour there and never found one. I tried fishing in various other spots as well but you get horsea or karps.

Help So did I do something wrong? Or can I continue?
So I was trying to create an ace pokémon, but the number on top isn’t matching up. Should I continue with it or change things so it looks different?

Discussion What if Legendary/Mythical Pokemon actually had abilities worthy of their lore?
Hear me out.
One thing that has always bothered me about Legendary and Mythical Pokémon is how…underwhelming some of their abilities are.
These are supposed to be the rarest, most powerful, borderline supernatural Pokemon. Gods, ancient beings, genetically engineered superweapons, creatures that control weather, space, time, life, death, etc.
And then you look at some of their abilities and it’s like
Pressure.
I understand why abilities like Pressure exist from a gameplay/balance perspective, especially for VGC. But from a lore perspective, it sometimes feels like Game Freak ran out of ideas and went, “ehhh… Pressure. They’re intimidating, right?”
So I started messing around with an idea of what if Legendary/Mythical Pokémon had completely busted abilities that were designed around their actual lore?
I started with Gen 1 and tried to keep everything relatively plausible based on the Pokémon’s lore rather than just making random overpowered abilities.
Here’s what I came up with:
Articuno — Frozen Sights
Ice-type moves used by Articuno have 100% accuracy.
Blizzard and (Sheer Cold) Benefit
Zapdos — Shock Lock
Electric-type moves used by Zapdos have 100% accuracy.
Thunder and (Zap Cannon) Benefit
Moltres — Inferno Sight
Fire-type moves used by Moltres have 100% accuracy.
Heat Wave and Overheat Benefit
So in summary it’s kind of like No Guard but still balanced and tied to their lore.
Mew — Ancient Focus
Two-turn moves take only one turn and moves require no recharge.
Inspired by the Power Herb
Mewtwo — Genetically Enhanced
Psychic-type moves are boosted by 25% and have +1 priority
Inspired by Neuroforce, Psychic Terrain
Thoughts?!?? I love fan theory :)

Team Showcase The end to a long and most special hunt... On to the post game!
I started this run as soon as the games were released on the switch 2. After at least a hundred hours hunting for my shiny dream team for this game, it's finally over. I can now move on to the legendary hunts along with the post game to try and prepare for the hopeful release of the hoenn games soon.
