My fav part about this game is that these double battles always have wind blowing into both trainers' direction so that their coats and hair flap dramatically in the breeze :allears:

Also IIRC Espeon's Return does max damage because its affection towards you is maxed out from the beginning.

I'm gonna say 25. The next game improves the mechanics a lot and this game isn't that bad about snagging pokemon outside of the bullshit you need to do in the endgame. Especially if you use the pokeball glitch.

I mean unless you do something nutty like try to snag that one boss pokemon without the Master Ball in XD in which case :stonklol:

Seriously? Y'all found XD to be harder for snagging?

God I forgot how repetitive the dungeons are in this game.

Your odds of hitting a 4% chance in 5 or fewer tries is like 18%. It's not that unlikely.

They'd be wise to give you better odds than that, because it leads to a really bad experience if you get unlucky, but that's true of the main series too, so who knows.

It just really sucks for battles like this because going through Earthquake Crew every time really sucks and drains your resources.

E: Huh, isn't that only 5 Pokemon? Even with Raikou I don't think I'd feel safe attempting zones 7 and 8 with only 5 Pokemon.

Pokemon you snag go into your party. We're about to face the main villains so...

By the way, are you hard up for cash or something? I don't remember needing to be so conservative with cash that I had so few pokeballs & healing items.

Healing items can be a surprising drain on your cash and OP blew his on revive herbs.

Honestly Master Ball glitch + losing is a prostrat here. This poo poo is just mean.

Extremely agree. Also yeah, good call OP.

I honestly don't even understand the appeal of Celebi. It's not even all that good of a legendary form what I can see.

I will be very surprised if you get more resets in XD than you did in Col.

While XD is objectively a better game, Wes is objectively the better protagonist.

Eh I wouldn't be so quick to say that about Shadow moves in this game. We're not out of the gate yet after all. There are a few that put Shadow Rush to shame.

Nope. Thankfully the gauge only goes down.

That's quite impressive OP!

Also I wanna say that the fake floor room is where my Pupitar evolved into a Tyranitar. As well, I swear by Shadow End.

I hacked 99 rare candies into my Emerald and got Lugia to learn Aeroblast then transferred it back. Its animation is pretty disappointing though :(

I actually much prefer the mechanics of XD's Shadow Pokemon as the ones in XD felt like a one note gimmick. I think I honestly like how Shadows don't mesh with reg teams to show how messed up they are, which is what makes villains like Greevil all the more harrowing to fight.

But yeah it seems like they fixed a lot of XD's issues but broke things that were done well.

Also I miss Wes and his cool-rear end bike. Michael would never blow up a hideout, steal his snag machine, ride away in a hoverbike and then blow it up again (without looking at the explosion, natch).
