Beginning of a new save

New save starting tonight, I’ve restarted countless times over the years without getting into Kanto, so I’m planning this to be a VERY long term save. Potentially a forever save.

This is team I’m planning for Johto, but I’d maybe like to switch it up slightly in Kanto. Similar to how the Elite 4 teams change for the rematches.

I’d maybe like to add Electivire for Ampharos. I’m very much a fan of power and speed in play through, with maybe one bulky type (Slowking)

Happy to hear suggestions for either current team or Kanto editions!

What was your reaction seeing Red's over leveled team for the first time?

I started my pokemon journey with HeartGold and I genuinely felt fear when I saw Red's Level 88 Pikachu and I was like okay how did we go from mid 50s and 60s to straight to almost the 90s.

Easily the most iconic battle in Pokemon history.

Second Kanto Starter?

So I know, as everyone here probably, if you beat all Kanto Gym Leaders, the Pokemon League rematch and Red on Mount Silver, Prof. Oak will give you one of the Kanto Starters to choose from. So far so normal. But to this day Im convinced, that in one of my play throughs from when I was a kid, maybe 8-10, I received a second Kanto Starter from Oak. It a was very progressed play through, caught every Legendarie, beat the League and Red more than one could count, pushed some Pokemons to Lv.100 etc. Everywhere I read, it says you can only get one Kanto Starter. But it is burned in my mind, that I got a second one. Maybe I remember it wrong, but I do vividly. I chose Bulbasaur first and then Charmander and was genuinly shocked I got the opportunity, so Im sure Im not remembering wrong. Has anyone else discovered this? Or am I tripping:D

Looking to replay Pokemon gen 3 + 4, but what order?

Planning on doing some sort of storyline between the 4 games (Fire Red, Emerald, Platinum, Heartgold), but wondering what order people would recommend to play in.

I know if I was to match the anime it would be FR then HG, then Emerald and Platinum, but that would mean jumping back and fourth between gen 3/4 game mechanics

I’d like to move the Pokemon across after each game to use them in the Battle Frontiers, again similar to the anime

I also like the idea of my character having somewhat of a storyline, for example being from Kanto (Pallet Town), and eventually finishing in Kanto (with Heartgold)

Life Orb Softlock?

I'm trying to beat the Heart Gold Battle Frontier before Pokemon Bank closes next year. As such, getting the Life Orb from the Ruins of Alph would be a great way to increase my power output. Unfortunately, I sent my Ho-Oh up to Pokemon Home many years ago and even if you solve the Ruins of Alph puzzle, you need Ho-Oh in your party to access the Life Orb.

I do have a working Action Replay (sorry if mentioning Action Replays breaks a subreddit rule); is it possible to get the Life Orb by simply walking through the wall?

What's the fastest way to get dratini??

I think it's the mini game in goldenrod city, the voltrob flip mini game but it will take too much time, suggest me some more ways to get it fast or is the goldenrod city one the fastest?

Searching for trades

Hi everyone! I’m currently playing Pokémon SoulSilver on my DSi, and I’m looking for people to trade with. My dream is to get all the Pokémon that evolve through trading, but I’m especially looking for an Alakazam. I don’t care what level it is. Does anyone have a Kadabra they’d be willing to trade? Thanks!

VOLTORB FLIP ODDS???

I have never seen a game of voltorb flip come up like this, just thought the odds of this happening were crazy and wanted to share.
I have a video of me flipping the last tile but it’s not letting me add to my post

Edit: was not sure what the flair should be

How to know if my Ditto is Foreign?

In my Heart Gold game, I have a Ditto that is named メタモン, but I am not sure if this is trully Japanese that I can use for Masuda Method.

Wasn’t there a way to know if your pokemon is truly Foreign? Like the JPN symbol? Where can I find it?

Personal Checklist of Pokemon Yet to be Used in Extended Lengths

About 10-20 percent of the remaining HAVE seen gametime, but not enough to qualify as being used in majority of a journey, or many many battle Frontier runs.

Training this team to send Red to the Shadow Realm

Have been training up this team for weeks to beat Red without using any healing items. A few more levels across the board and I should be ready
