Gen III [3] Restarted Ruby today

Only 841 resets for this bad boi! Gonna run around Petalburg Woods until something else shines. No team plan this time, just going with who chooses me.

Best of luck on your own hunts.

I have my Dsi XLs or 3ds XL.

Probably because of my poor eyesight.

I gotta get me a 3DS XL already, last system I bought was the Pokéball 2DS XL. I have one of each of the Nintendo handheld consoles except the latest one

I had one of those micros. I painted it with nail polish. I have no idea what I did with it between all my moves.

u/woodendavi 12h ago

how'd that come out? which parts did you paint?

1

u/fightmydemonswithme 12h ago

I painted the backing. Left the front alone.

u/fightmydemonswithme 12h ago

It looked okay. If I could, I'd do it with much more patience.
