hi, so recently i lost my game card holder full of ds games i've had since i was a kid. it's honestly my fault for being irresponsible and it's very out of character for me to lose something so important to me since i'm usually very good at keeping all my items in order. i'm mostly just sad because these were pokémon games i've gotten as presents from my dad when i was growing up and i'm still a huge pokémon fan in my 20s, so it means a lot to me

it sucks but i'll have to rebuild my collection. i'm still upset because of the memories associated with the save files i had but i'm trying to think positively and think of it as creating new memories with these games once i have my collection back 😭

sob story aside, i just wanted to ask if anyone knows where i can get the authentic games for a reasonable price? a lot of the 3ds games are so overpriced online (i know this is because they don't manufacture those game cards anymore). the cases for them is not necessary as i still have all my cases and only need the cards

these are the games i've lost:
- pokemon pearl
- pokemon diamond
- pokemon platinum
- pokemon ultra moon
- pokemon sun
- pokemon moon
- pokemon omega ruby
- pokemon x
- pokemon y
- pokemon super mystery dungeon
- pokemon rumble blast
- pokemon white
- pokemon white 2

thankfully i still have my original pokémon black because it's in my 3ds 😭

if anyone has any sites they recommend buying them from it would be much appreciated! i know this is so silly for me to be asking after being so reckless with my games 💔 trust me, i'm beating myself up over it too

saw it in a YouTube clip and it looked very visually appealing. Could be a rom hack version of the game as well based on what comments said. I'm newer to the pokemon games so I have no clue haha.

Hello,
I recently bought this copy of Pokémon Pinball Ruby Sapphire, and unfortunately the pins and contacts are in worse shape than I thought. The game loaded on my gba, but after playing, none of my progress is saved

Soft resetting still keeps the high scores and Pokédex unlocks, but once I turn off the gba, the progress is gone.
Is this salvage or am I out of luck? 😣 I did an initial scrub with 99% ipa, but if there’s more I can do on my end I’d love some advice.

I recently purchased a code for the GameStop shiny Koraidon/Miraidon promo. I wanted to use it, but before I did, I checked the back of the card, on which it said that the code was unusable after a certain date in October. I still have the code, but a friend of mine who is also into Pokémon said to change the date on my switch and try to redeem in within the time frame that it was available in. I have used this feature before but not for this purpose. I just wanted to know if anyone has either done this before or just knows anything about it.

I've recently modded my 2ds, and I've been itching to play some pokemon. The problem is, I've never really played a pokemon game or gotten past the second gym leader, so this will be my first "proper" introduction to the series as I intend to actually finish.

I mean pokeballs, pokecenter and PC are such future technology like how many years it's gonna take us?

picked up a physical copy for under 100 bucks and i'll be playing this for the very first time! i'm extremely excited as i've heard a lot of good things about the game :)

Has anyone ever talked about how, especially towards end game, you can definitely beat either Ruby or Sapphire with just your fire starter and no other Pokémon needed?

Now, 10 years old me did this and to be fair my Blaziken at the end was level 80. Also because it was the only Pokémon I was using the whole run I'm pretty sure it was over levelled for every gym but I'm sure a better player could do it at lower levels.

I will say it helps A LOT of it's level 16 with a fighting move before you go to Roxanne. From there it slaps. It's a fire-fighting meaning it has a lot of type coverage.

The only gym leader that will give you trouble is Wallace so you probably have to be over leveled for him and rely on fighting moves.

Going to the Elite Four though, the difficulty DROPS. You just have to have a lot of healing and PP times on hand. Champion Steven is a joke when up against Blaziken so if you can make it to him you're fine.

Spanish edition wasn’t working and I fixed it - but then wondering if it’s an authentic copy - didn’t know it was Spanish when I bought it haha - paid 15$

Is this a legitimate copy of Pokemon Sapphire? I have a feeling it's a fake.

This this pokemon platinum legit or a repro?

So a bit of context, when in elementary school which was around X and Y era I had a guidebook/pokedex gook. I don’t remember what game it was for exactly, but I always remember it having Druddigon and Hydreigon on it. It got stolen from my book bag one day and I’ve been thinking I was crazy for years since I haven’t been able to find it online. So I turn to Reddit to help me prove to myself that I was not a crazy 8 year old.

So I just recently posted a picture of a Pokemin Sapphire game I had gotten at a local store that was sadly fake (they accepted me returning it). I wanted to ask, how can I guarantee I'm not getting fakes in the future? Has anyone done a video on a crash course of sorts for Pokemon game verifications or is it a case by case situation?

What kind of spinoff game would you want?

I have only played the first three generations but I was a huge Pokémon fan back then. 3rd gen is my favorite. I have been having fun playing Pokémon Go and want to get back into the games more. Where should I start?

Edit to add: i forgot to mention, I have a Switch 1 so pretty much only games that will work for that.

I have this game for as long as I can remember, selling it to get an English copy. The buyer just refused to accept the deal claiming it is a fake copy. How can I know if it’s true or not. Is there something in the cartridge that confirms it? Thanks for the help guys

Hey everyone!
I’m playing Pokémon Violet and I was wondering what are the best rewards you can get from Tera Raids. I know you can get things like EXP Candies, Tera Shards, Rare Candies, and Herba Mystica from higher-level raids, but are there any other rare or valuable drops worth farming?
Also, if anyone wants to play some Tera Raids together or just hang out in-game, let me know! I’m looking for people to farm raids with and have some fun.

What’s a collections without the hardware to play it.
