>Not doing the exploit to getting all 3 starters

I could but I'm not going to use any of them

pumped af for crystal

i'm gonna do something i've never done before and pick chikorita

My run today pretty much immediately hit a road block when I realised you can only catch Wooper at night

Didn't catch any of the matutinal encounters I was shooting for, but I did find a Geodude and a second Bellsprout (to trade for Onix), so I was able to make short work of Falkner despite having picked the worst starter.

They added ONE single Repel to pick up on the route just before Union Cave, which is exciting, because if I use it carefully, I may be able to save the elusive Lapras encounter for when I'm actually able to reach it.

There's a fun little glitch in this game where you can swap color palettes with the opposite-gendered player character, e.g. having a blue color palette for the boy (rather than red) and a red color palette for the girl (rather than blue).

All you have to do is start a new game, save, reset, and then start another new game as the opposite gender that you picked previously. Then save again, only turn off the game right as it's telling you not to. When you reset and continue your last save, not only will this unlock Mystery Gift for seemingly no reason, your avatar's color palette will be that of the opposite gender.

If you want a blue Ethan, start as Kris; if you want a red Kris, start as Ethan.





The effect seems to wear off as soon as you make it to Slowpoke Well, but it's still a neat little thing. Resetting as the game is still saving is kinda scary, but I've used this glitch for years and I haven't had any problems.

Just don't do it in the middle of your playthrough, like I did just now. It'll overwrite everything you had in your PC boxes (I only had a Hoothoot, a Zubat, and an Onix, but still). I wanted to see if I could reapply the glitch even after Slowpoke Well, and you kind of can. Your character will just undergo a sex change, and they'll also be the wrong color.

Assuming there are other points in the game where the effect wears off, you could technically alternate between incorrectly-colored characters throughout the playthrough, but the whole PC destruction thing kinda makes this whole experiment a lot less appealing. That's what happens when you tamper with save files too much, I suppose.

Damn, I was going to use a Sandshrew but its moveset really sucks

lmao I got to slowpoke well and flinched a grunt's ekans 3 times with my zubat and got a crit on top of that, nice

I got a shiny Smoochum from the Odd Egg, luckily for me the Gen 2 department store stocks Ice Punch as a TM

woah, awesome

you should know that the odd egg has an increased chance of having a shiny, though (not sure by how much)

Starting up a new file since the last one kinda went awry.

Starting with Chikorita, I managed to pass Route 30 with no encounters (hype) and got a free Hoothoot.

Still gonna shoot for the morning encounters on 31, 36, 46, and Dark Cave.

My naming theme will be to pick a random word from each of my encounters' Dex entries, so right now, I have Sunlight the Chikorita and Clocks the Hoothoot.

i was thinking of getting crystal but i learned you cant get mareep

nvm no thank you

mareep is one of my favorites

that's the most bizarre fucking thing, since mareep is one of the premiere gen 2 mons

there's no vulpix either which sucks ass too (since this is the game where you'd actually be able to evolve one)

but eh whatever

Well fuck I just realised the shiny Smoochum means that I have no slot for Swinub. Is the extremespeed Dratini in Crystal?

Well, I can't say I remembered how easy the Elite 4 in Gen 2 was, I was at like level 34 for everyone except Dragonair and now I'm at Lance. Gonna get dinner before I take him on though.

For my team I have Crobat, Quagsire, Heracross, Miltank, Jynx and Dragonair. Miltank is easily the MVP with Jynx just behind.

RIP Wooper. After the rival's Quilava burned him with Ember, a random critical hit (that did WAAAY more damage than I was expecting) took him out. 1 in 160 chance for that to happen, so I can't be too mad about it, but that still sucks.

Headbutted a couple trees and caught two Aipom, a male and a female with nearly identical stats. Aipom's dex entry includes the word "another," so I decided to name my second one that.

While training Venonat in Ilex Forest, which has been a relatively slow process, she managed to miss Tackle three straight times, which is pretty incredible. That in itself is a 1 in 8000 chance. And then after finally hitting, she proceeded to miss a fourth time right after. I have a feeling she's gonna make it far on this team.

Got the Odd Egg, but it'll be awhile before it hatches. I don't like running around for the sole purpose of egg hatching, and prefer to let things happen naturally. Pretty excited about what it'll hatch into, though, especially if it's Tyrogue, but there's pretty much nothing it could hatch into that I would be disappointed with.

My Bug-Catching Contest encounter: ANOTHER Scyther.

it's like me and this pokémon were just meant to be or something

and he STILL got 2nd place wtfffffff
