Sapphire oak challenge done! 3 years, 8 shinies, 193 hours, plus a living dex

I started the journey after my second shiny hunt ever, Treecko, and by badge 2 I was shiny burning several pokemon on top of the level grinding.

Shinies I found:

Treecko phase 1

Whismur (fainted after I gaslit myself into thinking it wasn't shiny)

Nincada (2 for 1!)

Wurmple (beautifly)

Lotad

Roselia

Swablu

Kyogre

[4] First time playing pearl, had to make it a special one.

I had diamond and platinum as a kid, chose chimchar and Turtwig respectively. Finishing up my first Oak Challenge and wanted to do Pearl as my next one. A quick backup and restoring to an English game and I'm set! Time to experience pearl in the slowest grind out there.

If my battery dies partway into the game, will rng work the same as starting with a dry battery?

I'm deep into my sapphire oak challenge and my battery has died. I was planning to hunt Kyogre, but with the battery dead I now wish to rng manip it.

​

I've done emerald rng manipulation before. But will sapphire (and Ruby) work the exact same way if the battery dies partway in? Or is the RNG only predictable of being created with it already dry?

​

I know my wording is bad. Essentially I'm worried since it died partway in, it may be stuck on a random rng at the point where it died. Or does it default to a static seed that matches the TID and SID, like how emerald RNG works

It's been a long time coming. Buti finally got to Kyogre, but it's not pink yet.

3 years ago I hunted that Treecko on a whim. Didn't know what to do with the file until I saw some YouTube videos. Got very caught up shiny hunting, several phases are on this save (never traded them off for obvious reasons), but I planned to hunt Kyogre from the moment I started the oak challenge. It's finally time to see that fish shine

Best way to clean out the power power switch?

Basically as title says. Between 2012-19 I was a large collector, downsized when I moved. Still own probably 30 or so Gameboys.

​

But I have a select few that I love dearly that have issues.

​

My Pokemon Gameboy light, pikachu and Swiss SPs, and my childhood micro all have dirty power switches, causing the lights backlight to flicker/not turn on. And the rechargeables to constantly switch back to "low battery* even when fully charged or even plugged on.

​

I've taken a queue tip with IPA to all 4, but while it helps temporarily in the end they all have the dirty switch in the end. What's the best way to ensure I clean them out? Getting really tired of being tethered to my wall while playing my childhood micro to avoid to shutting off randomly

Instagram is destroying my photos. I turned on upload at highest quality. What do I do?

First image is straight from my camera roll. Second image is from IG. Both story and posts compress it into illegible garbage. I stopped posting because my photos look like garbage when posted.

Moisture or pressure marks on card?

I received this card today as a gift from a friend. And I've never seen a slab do this. Is that moisture or pressure from the slab touching the card? What should I do to lessen it?

The center button pad keeps shifting down within a week. So I never have to do this again, will sticking it to the button itself work?

For the record. I've been sticking it back to the middle of the tactile switch, this time I was thinking of sticking it to the button hoping the nub will keep it in place.

If not. Best solution?

A couple weeks ago I posted asking about why my 5th gen didn't sync or charge properly after it fell.

Received a new cable today, swapped the hard drive back in so it boots (SD card corrupted when it ejected during the fall). It's "charging", not sure if it actually is or not. But doesn't sync. Doesn't register on my PC, though I did get a split second popup saying there was a surge from the USB port on Windows.

Bad charge port?
