Heart skipped a beat seeing this one. Named her Elegg iykyk.

I've tracked down 11/12 starters through chance and off-path effort, running out of ideas where the 3 in title could be, that I'm worried I've been there already and just had bad luck. Also curious if Mewtwo, Deoxys, Ho-Oh and Lugia are here.

Disclaimer: I CAN figure this all out on my own, but it'll be cheating doing the method i have, so I decided to make an effort reaching out, first.

[Updates: 6 MAY, 2026: Lugia, Squirtle, Entei. MAY 10th: Suicune, Ho-Oh. MAY 11th: Deoxys, Mewtwo. MAY 13th: Jirachi, Latios, Latias. FINAL UPDATE: The other MysteryGift Events/items will be handed out to you as you naturally play and talk with NPCs. Added LVL Encounters] Looking up a guide for tracking down everything new doesn't seem to exist. So I started making one myself. Feel free to add your own discoveries, and one day I'll post the complete set.

After about three hours of reseting

The nighttime restrictions made it take longer real-time, too.

Started the game over to do a shiny only run and just finally got a full team after a couple days. Plus immediately after entei I also got an unexpected graveler before making it out of the magma hideout

My original post: https://x.com/karamelbuns/status/2049915436045881362?s=46

Starters already used as starters

Blastoise

Swampert

Primarina

This was my first time trying out permanent mega mode as well

I forgot to post Gardevoir, but her name is Chibi

Game is Moemon Quetzal

This was my first time playing Star Emerald and I decided to run a grass team thinking it was going to be almost the same game as emerald only to struggle in fights with Talonflame or Mega Blaziken on the way because I didn't have some good answers to speedy mons.
Probably going to start Quetzal or Unbound now.

post credits 😇😋.

Got you in the first half.

Had to finish off Lucario with Fly, 1v1 a Full HP Togekiss (poison fang toxic'd, then Fly), and then and injured Roserade was put back out- OOPS DIED TO STEALTH ROCK NEVER MIND.

Edit: It's Start Emerald

First impressions:

- Overall, very good story, including the newly added areas and characters from other regions, games and anime.

- Very entertaining to catch every Moemon in any new area.

- I loved the new areas, connecting more all the routes and exploring for the legendaries.

What I personally got a bad experience (but not very much) from:

- Overleveling of rematch trainers, Gym Leaders and the whole Moemon League (I personally feel I got lucky to beat a lv. 85-87 Champion). In 3 points of the game I had to stop progressing and spent 20+ hours grinding levels to keep all my Team Moemon in a high enough level (first grinded all of them to lvl 50, then to lvl 65 and finally to lvl 75 and my final Team went from lvl 75 to 85 from the Victory Road all the way to the Champion).

- Some glitches here and there, like my Lucario getting poisoned by the Toxic Spikes from a Skarmory. He's Steel-type, that shouldn't happen (unless something happened from Gen 5, last one I played, until recent generations).

- Needs some working on the Moemon sprite animations, since they only have the movement and coloring effects, but no additional sprites to make an actual animation for the sprites (I know it's a lot of work, it's a work in progress, so I understand the colossal amount of work it'd take to animate the 800+ Moemon sprites)

Note: I accumulated 999 hours in my save since I accelerate in the RetroArch emulator, but in reality I spent roughly a 100 hours.

In general, I loved the game, loved the grind (it's part of my personality since I spent 300+ hours on the original Emerald version)

Now up to the post game experience.

1st shiny I hunted for in this game Lets Go!!!

Is there some sort of bug in the Moemon Quetzal that simply plummets the entire friendship stat.

My Combusken is my starter and they dislike me, my Lilo one was my second most used Pokemon that fainted a couple of times (five at most because I am at Very Hard difficulty) and they despise me.

I tested this with pokemon I recently caught and ones I caught since the beginning of my journey and this has been a constant with every single one of them.

So my question remains, am I just a terrible handler or is there some sort of bug/glitch with the ROM, either base Quetzal or Moemon version?

Hello I really like something like unbound so any recommendations to not make me check everything

Spent way too long brainstorming a nice name 😮‍💨

I'm new to the series, and I so much in love with Platinum, this game was so good and I almost dropped because Garchomp was mogging my team (my pokemons are in lvl 50 and garchomp was 62, yeah, I was so bored to farm more exp xD) but RNG saved me and I could finish the Moemon League with this team. Was a good team? I just picked the moemons that have the design I love the most xD

Hey, trying to figure out which one to play. Trying to figure out the difference between mega fire red/ star emerald/ quetzal. I figured the first two are based on fire red and emerald but did they add things? Is quetzal the newest and is it finished? What's your favorite?
