good for you

everything else is easy enough

hardest one I have left is "win an event with every machine"

I will do that in my cleanup loop, I do not feel like grinding that out on super hard

i never did super hard

I did hard for my first run and had no issues, and just assumed without looking there was a checkbox for super hard

I was wrong, but I need to do it for personal completion sake anyways

Beat air riders single player truest ending

I like when kirby does cool shit for the final fight

I'll save doing my cleanup rup for the last few checkboxes for later

Breeding

Probably

if anyone wants a free world record

it would be really hilarious to upload, like, a 15-hour playthrough from the Switch 2 and make it the world record

the reason people don't run it seems to be because of how much input delay the emulator has to the point casual players notice

even though it should in theory be the best platform

ahh that makes sense, that's pretty annoying

That would be a funny wr

stream learning the switch 2 route then submit the VOD

chugga doesn't like voltorb flip

(he's actually just incredibly awful at it because he's stupid)

I'm not a big voltorb flip fan either, but it's still better than slots, which are the worst minigame imaginable. Oh, you want a good TM? Ok, just sit here and mash A for a while, I suppose.

in the older games you could buy coins and not bother with the gambling

Yes, but the coins are very expensive

I don't think I ever had the money in the original games if I wanted to buy some of the high-end pokemon for example

i'm aware since I had to buy multiple very expensive items in the archipelago

RSE I think I did have enough money to buy TMs, so fair, but it was pretty much all my money

My favorite implementation of the game corner is Pokemon Clover's, where its intentionally rigged and the devs suggest farming Compest to get the money instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ik_aF2nng_8

I usually just cheat in coins in every pokemon game, including Clover

You didn't read the "WARNING: PLEASE PLAY THE GAME LEGIT"?

Clover anti-cheat does not detect coins

it detects very little in fact

Although even getting Jewipede before E4 in the version I played would trigger it

IIRC, it's only actually rare candies and legendaries before available? I forget if there were any other

I believe they fixed this uea

weird, both times I've played, I didn't have this issue. I don't recall what versions they were, 1.2 and 2.0 maybe?

I think it was one of the earlier releases

makes sense

have you played the most recent update?

well, idk if it's the most recent still, but the 2.0 update

I haven't yet

would recommend, the new stuff is very good

wait I'm wrong on version numbers darn

Wait, you mean the stuff on the Ebin Isles?

I'm looking it up

Its at 1.3.3 rn

They're working on 2.0 I'm pretty sure

sorry sorry, it's been a while since i looked this up yeah, I meant the 1.0 release x_x

which was 6 years ago.....

feels like it wasn't that long ago

Jesus

I was like, nah, this game still recent

I wonder what version my first playthrough was in if my second was in 1.0 haha

I highly recommend Pokemon Clover to everybody here if you enjoyed Toushin Gent

Spiritually similar games imo

Clover is unironically the highest-quality Pokemon ROM Hack I've played

I love how good the edgy 4chan romhack is because it means that the normal people are "not allowed" to talk about it (since it's racist etc.)

It gatekeeps itself

as all good games should

I appreciate that the game assumes everyone playing grew up on pokemon, so it acts as both a parody of the games and a really good pokemon game in its own right

Like one of my favorite bits is the gamefreak office, like there is in just about all the pokemon games, but its just like 3 dudes and Masuda

let me introduce you to classical and established decades old image processing techniques

its on english as well even if they haven't bothered to announce it yet

I hope it brings the price of the original down :)

Emulation already exists, I do not think the existence of digital games affects physical prices

There is a decently large portion of people will not play a game using an unofficial method.

I am aware, but I do not think the price of physical media is being pushed by them

I think its people like you that are the problem (people who want massive collections)

Don't get me wrong though, I do like physically buying my games, but if would never second hand purchase one (unless I see a game at like, a goodwill back when you could actually find good games just for sale there)

If the option is there, I will always pick physical over digital or god forbid a service like NSO, and while I know the price is not guaranteed to go down after a rerelease like this. I don’t like the idea of writing off the possibility either.

I am not in a rush to go get this particular game either so if it takes a while to find a reasonable price I am more than willing to wait.

Vinny do you even play FE games, I do not remember ever discussing them with you
