      @@CaTastrophy427 For example in gen 3 in Battle Frontier there was a building called the Battle Factory where you had to face 7 trainers by choosing from the pokemon provided to you and you could swap with those of the teams you defeated between each battle. That was my favourite game mode after finishing the game because I could experience different battles with different pokemon and strategies without having to build my team from scratch everytime. If I remember correctly in Colosseum and XD there was also a mode where you would fight another trainer with both sides having random teams. I also really liked the challenges where you are placed in a specific situation and you have to win by using the only method or by being creative.

    I was extremely invested in Pokémon as a child for a while, but lost interest after I played GSC to the absolute death. I came back to it around Gen 4-5 times but that also got me to check out what I missed, including these games. IIRC I got a GBA, legit copy of Emerald, and even the GCN link cable to hook it up to my Wii. I remember having chills when I played these games for the first time, it was so good.
    Not only was it incredibly nostalgic and felt like part of me came home, but it had basically realised a dream I had, for a console Pokémon RPG with Stadium-style graphics and presentation. It's hard to believe the company that made this was so small.
    Then when PBR came out, I hoped for a follow-up more along the lines of Stadium/Colosseum or even XD, but no dice. Now here we are today, the series is on the Switch for God's sake, but the games still look, sound and play nowhere near the level these ones do. I know the roster these days is incredibly huge, so maybe my expectations are unrealistic, but still! The missed potential is almost painful.

      Nah, Adamant is worse. You can work around lowered Speed, but nerfing SpA is deadly to a Pokémon like Espeon.

      I replayed and completed this game for the first time at the start of this year. It still holds up well.
      Because its never had a re release it isnt even morally bad to emulate it now. Id say play it 100% if your a fan of pokemon

    I remember having this game when I was younger and I unknowingly did a hardcore run of this game. Because younger me didn't read about the game the first time I went through the entire game with just umbreon, espeon, and pusle. Yes the entire game including the 100 battle mountain with just those three. Later on I replayed the game correctly, but I still laugh that I played this game on hard mode my first time. I still remember I abused the heck out of moonlight, physic, and stall tactics.

      Greetings, brother! I too did that, though my game was almost a solo run with Umbreon since Espeon was so frail! Did you also have that experience?

    • @jordanvance1657
      @jordanvance1657 Před 2 lety +11

      @@Snipergod1024 yes omg espeon was so frail that my umbreon would have to take two supereffective attacks before I could revive espeon

      They learned from this mistake and they force you to snag the first Shadow Pokémon in XD to ensure you at least have the proper idea fed to you.

    Omg this game was my childhood!!
    I ran Espeon/Jumpluff as my main pair running full status moves on Jumpluff and full attacking moves on Espeon and that actually worked for me until like halfway through the game where I got stuck - so cool to see you playing it!

      Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that they're all things sourced from ores? It is the Orre region, after all.
