• Bagon: Starter
• Dratini: 2nd badge, (Surf)
• Flygon: Trapinch after 3rd badge
• Altaria: After 4th
• Kingdra: 8th

So Bagon is gunna be traded (rough start)
Dratini also traded over - I couldn't really place it anywhere else, trapinch, swablou are avaliable after 3/4 (longest part of the game)
Which would mean a lot of grinding late game otherwise.

Thoughts on order? Arguably Dratini starter and then grind for mence later

I got a ruby cartridge with a new battery. Played as a kid but never really knew how to use rare berries or farm them. Now that I know a lot more about contests and EVs I want to farm rarer stuff.

I recently got pokerus on my Emerald save with working battery, but I also own a copy of Ruby and Sapphire with dead battery.

I was wondering, since the time doesn’t pass on those dead battery ones, is it so that pokerus will never be ‘cured’, even while in the party?

= I am the only one In the family to state my claim to this game that rhymed =

= I might need some help in My Mental State =

= And I do not want to suffer from analysis paralysis Nor being too cheap to afford a game for my consoles =

= Thank goodness I am way over pokemon Red Blue Green Yellow from 1996 C.C.E. and even Gold Silver And Crystal from 2000 C.C.E. =

I havent played ruby in a while so im not familiar much with hoenn. But bc these games are so time consuming i plan on speedrunning ruby on an emulator using the speed up button but i do want this game to go as quick as possible bc i have so manu errands and deadlines to take care of. Im just running into too many pokemon and i cant figure out who i want on my team.

So far i have Marshtomp, Loudred, Manectric, Swellow, Aron, and a zigzagoon as an hm slave. Ove got zangoose, swablu and makuhita in my pc.

I also cant wait to continue my ORAS journey bc im only in the beginning of the game. I want to play that as soon as possible bc im very impatient lol

I am trying to complete my Pokédex, but want all the Pokémon to have my trainer ID if possible. So I am battling Gabby and Ty with my Cleffa to level it up and was curious to know how many battles it would take to increase the friendship level sufficiently to evolve.

Outside of wanting the Hoenn Dex Pokemon absent from Emerald (which are all in XD) or ability to trade in eggs/non-Hoenn Dex Pokemon before you beat the E4 (which could be bypassed through Colosseum)?

Overworld abilities work in emerald, and I know the only one that works in FRLG is illuminate. But what about Ruby and Sapphire? I would assume they don’t work?
