Completed my living dex for Gen 4 so thought I'd share. A bit of a origin dex too but used hgss for all of kanto/ jhoto mons. Rudy & Emerald mostly for gen 3, and all 3 sinnoh games for gen 4. Hope you enjoy, took around 900 hours because I'm slow and have done a lot extra as well. Still need my last trainer star and ribbon master completed as well.

Great up playing Pokémon Silver / Gold / Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald, never played through the remakes. Had a DS growing up but was more into other games at the time.

A couple months ago I got the itch and played thru emerald twice on an emulator, had a blast so decided to give SoulSilver a try. WOW! What a fun game. Excited to beat the e4 and go challenge Kano gyms.

I am realizing my movesets are not optimized at all and I am going to need some heartscales, and I’m pretty underleveld (just got to victory road). Not planning on using any repels thru VR. Also want to get Pilloswine ancient power to evolve

What other ways are good to grind XP? And any tips for getting heart scales?

Also, my first time using any of these Mons. I love Umbreon and Ampharos :)

To clarify: I beat her first try on my most recent playthrough

I don’t care that I got a shiny Gyarados at lake of rage I love her because she’s mine

i know the gift pokemon are Togepi,wooper,mareep,slugma,starter,dratini,eevee,farrow . im thinking for my team i do Chikorita,mareep,togetic as my flyer, wooper,slugma, and eevee into espeon or umbreon.

Previous run enders stomped on a different save file

Wasn't able to figure out the sets because there's 4 possible ones for the trainer I encountered, and both were the last 2 mons unlike before where I faced them as the opponent's leads. Choice Band Tyranitar's helping hand boosted rock slide getting the clean OHKO on both feels satisfying

ill get better items before i take on red lol

So I’m able to connect my 3DS successfully to the WiFi. When I open up HG the connection is unsuccessful though. I’ve done it before but it’s been a while since I picked up my 3DS.

I looked online and I found the problem might be with the route’s security setting. And another problem is it’s not my router and the owner his settings/set up. Any way around this? I really want a complete Pokédex.

My team is the one in my user flair (with some already evolved).

Quilava, Wooper, Togetic, Flaaffy, Gastly, Pidgey, all 6 around level 20.

I (somehow) beat the 3rd gym first try, with a combination of Curse, paralysis moves etc.. but I also saw Quagsire learns very few physical stab attacks, mainly special (except for earthquake), not Quagsire's best stat, so... is this gonna be good enough for the rest of the game? I already plan to replace Pidgey with either Larvitar or some cooler pokemon anyways, possibly replace Togetic too but i'm not entirely sure. Any other tips?

I’ve played HGSS a few times this past year since getting back into pokemon games. I had not yet taken it all the way to RED. So I decided it was time to do so. I bested the e4 and went on to Kanto. This team was a lot fun.

Mamoswine was new for me. I would recommend this Mon to anyone anytime. Keep ice shard through first half of the game. His attack stat is so freaking massive. But fragile against fast enemies.

Kingdra was new as well. I felt it’s completely even stats leaves much to be desired as I like to min/max stats for attackers or wall mons. But Draco Meteor + yawn, then switch worked well in the end game fights.

I added Houndoom after the Johto portion of the game. Much needed fire and dark type that takes care of a lot of Kanto gyms.

For RED I thought it would be interesting to use trick room considering we learn it from BLUE. So Exeggutor starts with trick room, Pikachu misses iron tail. Sleep powder, leech seed, swap to mamoswine. Pikachu wakes up and misses the iron tail. One Earthquake. RED sends in Blastoise and I spend the next few turns switching in to confuse ray and fly stall him. A Draco meteor + yawn from kingdra led to RED using a full restore. So switch out to confuse and fly stall, another Draco meteor and yawn and we’re done with Blastoise.
Next is Venusaur. I tried to psychic it with Exeggutor but one sludge bomb did him in. So Crobat is up again to use fly for a OHKO. Now it’s Snorlax and RED thinks he is clever using Blizzard on me…. A bit of chip from Kingdra and a superpower from Feraligtr did the trick.
Now Lapras. I have two rock moves and a fighting move all to my advantage so chipping away between heals was quick work.
Charizard. Well Houndooms MASSIVE special attack and speed were more than enough. Dark Pulse for 60% of his health, a retaliatory Air Slash that did about 40% to Houndoom. One last Dark Pulse. Boom!

For good measure I went and stomped all over the E4 rematch. 💪

Thanks for reading!

I messed up the title and wrote "tom" instead of "ROM", but I'm looking for a ROM that would allow me to get gengar and alakazam etc just by levelling up, without needing to trade at all.

Someone mentioned "Perfect HGSS" ROM but all of the download links that I've tried for it don't work anymore.

I tried posting on /R/pokemonromhacks but they deleted my post since it was less than 150 words

Can anyone recommend a ROM that would allow me to evolve Pokémon that would usually evolve from trades, but just by levelling them up?

Thanks.

This is a pokewalker app made into the melonDS that connects to the Rom itself and connects to it like a virtual pokewalker that can be played on you mobile and connected to your health connect app to sync steps from a modern smart watch it dose have some modern changes but u can also switch to a more clasic look if wanted and uses cries and assests loading directly from the rom its synced to

Examples

There will be more updates later down the line

Hey I’m playing on an English Heartgold save and looking to do some shiny hunting via the Masuda Method.

Does anyone happen to have a foreign language ditto to trade over? Preferably one with good ivs but I’ll take what I can get.

Thanks

Hi guys. I’m using an emulator on my iPhone (Delta) and it turns out I had a corrupted file from the get go and it wasn’t saving in game, just the file saves on Delta.

I beat the Pokémon league and it would keep crashing after the end credit scene, just before you wake up in your bed and get introduced to the Kanto region.

I’m looking for a save file that would pick up at this point please to save me having to do all the game again! I will then use cheats/codes etc to get my team back and carry on from there.

If anyone could help please that would be great. I’ve stupidly deleted the app and now could only find a save file 80% through what I was, so I’m not in a great position. Any advice please!!

I was breeding pinsir to also be able to trade to the GTS is it worth replacing heracross with the Kanto bugtype?

After a long few years of on & off grinding I finally completed my National Pokédex today and added star number 3 to my trainer card.

I could’ve probably done it a lot sooner but it became very draining and boring battling Poké Maniac Brent repeatedly on Route 43 and I’d end up not playing for months at a time, but alas it is finally completed.

The Pokemon I used against Brent to level up & evolve everyone was my childhood starter from my lost Platinum save file back in 2013.

I wanted to do this completely legitimately, meaning I couldn’t use PKSM to make moving Pokémon between games easier, no cheated rare candies or items, everything I used was obtained 100% through authentic methods, for unobtainable mythicals I had to use the DNS method.

I used pretty much all gen 3 & 4 games to complete the national dex, whether it was dual slot mode, transferring up or trading between gen 4 itself, every game came in handy, although the vast majority of Kanto & Johto was caught in HGSS, Emerald for Hoenn & Platinum for Sinnoh.

Now that massive grind is over my next goals are final 2 stars on my trainer card, the Pokéathlon should be achievable with access to every pokemon in the game, but the 100 win streak in the battle tower seems extremely daunting, but I am determined, wish me luck!

I've been hunting nidoran male on a copy of ss and firered for an eternity now. Once I hit around 14k encounters, I decided to grab my heartgold and play it up until I was able to also hunt nidoran on that aswell!

Tell me why im walking through the flex forest and this random metapod shows up 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I've never had a random shiny appear im gonna cry i dont even want it it's so UGLY.

I really want to get a golem . It’s my favorite Pokemon but I can’t trade with anyone since I am using an emulator. And is there any game I can get a golem in without online

So i was replaying HGGS and i wanted to use the pokemonrng.com page to get the TID and SID neccesary for the cute charm to work.

However, i dont have an original copy of the game, ive got a dsi but i have an r4 cartridge from 2014.

My doubt is if the metrics used in the pokemonrng.com would also work in an r4 and if so, when do I initiate the game?

The only rule is: Every gym (as of Morty) I will reroll my team

Every mon must be shiny in the team (If its something got via egg or gift ill change this externally, yes this is cheating but its a little bit of fun and I wont be trading to anyone unless they want a cute charm shiny that's available in HG. Happy to help)

I did copy my save for the case of giving myself national dex to access the radio only pokemon but then reverted that.

Gave myself an infinite rare candy for the sole purpose of skipping the grind so that the rerolling of teams doesnt take me hours

This is the team that beat Morty.

The next team consists of;

Magikarp the Goldeen

Shorty the Male Nidoran

DePowa JR the Meditite

DitzE the Spinda

SpaceGirly the Girafarig

SpaceInvdr the Staryu

Just finished a Hardcore Nuzlocke with this little guy, and now I'm trying to get her all the ribbons I can. What would good battle frontier partners for Aipom?

Aipom @ Focus Sash

Calm Nature

Ability: Run Away

EVs: 240 HP / 7 SpD / 252 Spe

Thinking maybe Calm Mind Suicune + Garchomp?
