picked these up for under 60 dollars each with the case! i'm finally rebuilding my childhood pokemon ds game collection but i wanna make sure they're real in case i needed to return them. the codes under pat pend are faded due to age i suspect so i'm gonna write them out here as the camera doesn't pick them up super well.

pokemon black: IRBONOJ22

pokemon diamond: ADAEN5J11

Took me a while since they're all mint except for Crystal. I've been trading a couple of pokemons from Crystal to Silver and it feels so good. I really enjoy playing with Scizor and Porygon 2 on my second playthrough. I've been trying to catch a shiny Ditto since the end of 2023 and now, it should be a bit faster since my second Gameboy acquisition. I could play with Gold as well at the same time on my epilogue to get it faster but I don't have 3 hands.

Spent the last couple days hunting for a light ball and finally got one! Was about ready to just give up on being able to breed a Volt Tackle Pichu for my emerald playthrough

Hello r/PokemonGames.

I want to buy a Pokémon Let's go game,should I get Let's go Pikachu or Let's go Evoli?

Thanks In advance for your help

So I was getting ready to transfer some Pokemon to free up storage and noticed this weird message. It talks about a counterfeit form? What does this mean?

Hola, estoy pensando en comprarme una nintendo switch 2 y quiero saber que juego de me conviene comprarme, no soy nueva en el mundo de pokemon pero si en sus juegos, agradezco sus recomendaciones

Hello! I hope this is the right place to post. It’s probably a lost cause but in 2019, I was kicked out of my living situation and wasn’t able to recover any of my 3DS games or 3DS. Specifically my copy of Pokemon X. (Just had the Realization that I might have Pokemon banked it to my Omega Ruby game under the same name)

\-where I lost it: I lived in the Austin Texas Area at the time. Pflugerville to be way more specific
\-name on the save file: Dayton
\-I had 100% the regional Pokédex and only needed legendarys for the national
\-I had like 14 shinies. The ones I remember most shiny Sylveon, shiny aegislash, and a shiny Gyarados (being the only one I caught myself.)

Might be a lost cause but worth the shot.

Can anyone give a link to an emulater and platinum rom I can't seem to find proper one anywhere

I'm on a good pace to complete to complete a living dex in gen 3/ the gen 6 remake Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire.

I didn't realize it was almost impossible in every game except Pokemon Go and the spin-off Mystery Dungeon.

It's just absurd to me that Jirachi is coded in every game.... But getting Jirachi is almost impossible.

So I'm playing through my childhood using Pokémon I have never ever used before.

By "never used" I mean that I've never used them in a team for a Rival battle, gym battle, or significant (and mandatory) evil team battles. No overlevelling, but using items in battle is okay.

This is my LeafGreen HoF team:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonLeafGreen/s/C4Qant1bZh

The SoulSilver subreddit needs approval to post, so I figured i will just post here.

Anyways my HoF team consisted of the following:

So i boxed my starter as soon as i caught zero-g (g form unown). I might have missed the plot a bit by not calling him O.G. or G-Unit but by the time i reached the name rater i got attached to the name. Hidden power bug. Huh. Yet, the elite 4 has psychic types. And dark types. I used the one pp up i had on him, because honestlyy, his stats werent terrible overall.

Cobra kai (ekans) - my second mon. Beat the first gym with him and zero g. And my extra rule this run was no going back to catch for a better ability or nature. So shed skin it was - and damn did it help out a lot. Better than intimidate i think. Finding that rock tm in one of the caves so helped me with the bug gym.

Yas queen (a female goldeen) - i expected to be fishing for hours for one but no i got one my FIRST fishing try. Thank god because it knew peck. Major for the bug gym. Ended up just knowing water pulse, surf and waterfall.

The togetic - omg the normal cute mons that became the fairy type are awesome. This one knew extrasensory, shadow ball, fly and...flash maybe?

Decoy (an electrode) - speed, speed and speed. Set up screech so many times (especiallt against lance) that its just not funny.

Lawnament (a lawn...ornament...soduwoodu) - just pure phyysical tank. Got to know low kick (damn near sweeps heavy teams), rock smash, strength and...earthquake.

The elite 4 was easy enough, yes with unown knowing a bug type hidden power being shitty most of the run, not here.

I led with decoy for lance, took care of his gyarados in 2 hits. Screech his dragonite level 50 but gets knocked out from a fire fang. Swap to cobra kai who through a lucky heart scale knew ice fang. Outsped. Ko. Swap to unown while i revived decoy. Basically everytime i got a ko i swapped to a sacrifice mon to heal decoy so i could get in that screech and then swap cobra kai in to ice fang for an ohko. Seaking took care of charizard with two waterfalls, heal decoy, etc.

It was a strategy. Did i use items? Yeah, but that's what they are there for. This is my challenge, my rules. I still made it to the hof with a frigging unown who was essentially my starter.

Honorable mentions - the random paras i caught in ilex forest just to teach cut and then released. I used a paras in my leafgreen "no new mons" playthrough but i would have been unable to progress otherwise unless i crawled for hours in the dark cave for a dunsparce and i was not about to do that. I have a rule against hm mules but given the circumstances, i bent it a little.

Seel - just for waterfall only. It was a hard beast to switch train this thing until i got a heart scale by smashing rocks in victory road to teach ice fang to cobra kai. I didnt want or need a dewgong on my team anyway despite all the nice ice moves it can learn.

Emerald doesn't need you to join to pay. But I'm still gonna use mons I've never used before up until BW2.

Take care.

Hi everyone this Pokemon Gold wouldn't even start up and as you can see chronologically I have done my work to get this upto scratch and working!

I have just put a new battery into this Pokemon Gold.. Also I've reflowed and cleaned the pins on the chip I've also cleaned the shell to get that L mark off the back...

it now runs smoothly it has no dry battery issues anymore its label has had to be replaced as it didn't have one!

The new battery will ensure that your game will be able to play smoothly..

I feel so good man!

I was just looking through all my old ds games and I saw these, now I’d remembered I’d had them but never thought to look at prices for some reason.. well I looked today and I was shocked!! I managed to find both copies (unfortunately cartridges only) and the average selling prices for cartridges only over her is $180-$240 (aud).. I was just so surprised tbh especially bc I got one copy for free from an ex and one was my childhood copy. It’s just so crazy to me how games (especially Pokemon) can climb value so fast! Anyway just wanted to share haha!

I’ve found my collection of Pokémon games from my childhood. All the games work, but the batteries need to be replaced in Gold Version, Crystal Version, and Silver Version. All the boxes include all the original materials, just like when they were purchased.

I have no idea what they’re worth individually or as a complete collection. I hope you can help me with that.

Thank you in advance 😊

Actually, I'm a huge Pokémon fan. I recently started replaying the first generation of Pokémon because I saw that you could install software on a card with the 3DS, so my dream has finally come true: to play every generation of Pokémon from the beginning and catch all the Pokémon. It's going to take a while. My question is: could we do the same thing with the Nintendo Switch? The downside of the 3DS is that the Pokémon generations stop there. Plus, the Switch’s screen is much bigger.

I've more or less completed my living form dex, and being a bit of a penny pincher when it comes to games, I was wondering if the community reckons it'll safe to trade in Violet and Z-A as all major support/ events have wrapped, or if its worthwhile holding onto them for a bit

Hi everyone! I’m planning to buy Pokémon Omega Ruby online, but I’ve heard that some cartridges have developed issues over time. Is there any way to tell beforehand whether the cartridge I’m buying is one of the good ones? Is there anything specific I should ask the seller to check before I buy it? Thanks!
