Today’s game is some more Pokemon Emerald. I’ve been working on the Pokédex the last few days. And when I say working on it I mean really working on it. I’m trying to assemble a living Dex which is my main goal. It’s an interesting challenge, since I sometimes have to catch double. The roaming legendaries have been fun too. I found Latias today for example. I just bumped into it while trying to hatch eggs.

I also bumped into Steven in Meteor Falls. I had no idea you could find him here so that was a pleasant surprise.

That’s something I really like about these older games. I like the open style of the newer games, but with these more narrow style games It feels like it makes more nook’s and crannies to search. Kind of a little more rewarding for snooping around.

So far today has just been catching and breeding. That’s probably what tomorrow will be too just so I can finish it up. Then back them up and figure out what I’m gonna do next this hunt has been a lot of fun. My last complete Dex was Shield, and this feels like a challenge in comparison. It’s like comparing Halo 2 Legendary to Halo 3. Halo 2’s was difficult but so satisfying to do. This game’s Pokédex is similar.

Anyways, so my game-plan for tomorrow is fill out Dex hopefully and pick out another game.

    It became unlimited in HG/SS, which made it easier, but also more annoying for me when I had Platinum as my hub, because it meant I needed to catch a bunch of junk to trade over to my SS if I grabbed a Pokémon from the GBA games.

    Such is life.

    Although there are emulators that support loading the GBA games on DS, so if you want that pal park experience you can have it properly even on emulator.

      Damn, i’m not a big HS/SS fan so of course that’s the game without the limit lmao. I just finished my dex and moved everything over today using pkhex, if i had known it wasn’t limited on HS/SS though i might have looked more into it
