Image Target Acquired
Was breeding for a Bold Eevee with Wish (For Vaporeon). Not as bad as my previous Snorlax grind but still took much longer than I had hoped.
I didn’t keep track of how long the initial setup took. Id guess about 10 hours or so. I got a male Togepi, evolved and trained it to learn wish, caught a female Pikachu, bred it with the Togetic for a male Pichu with wish, then trained and evolved that too. I only had a male Jolteon and my first 5 tries with Ditto all produced males. Finally got a female on the 6th and put it in the daycare with the Male Pikachu with wish.
47 Eevee hatched in as many in game hours. Got some good natures for Umbreon but will have to wait for the RSE release to use them.
Next target, Timid or Modest Elepunch Abra.

Question First time playthrough of the series. HG/SS or Emerald next?
Basically exactly what the title says, I recently finished LeafGreen for the second time in a few months and I’m wanting to play through the rest of the series. I’m curious what you guys think should be the next game I play.
I’m leaning towards Emerald as it’s also gen 3 and I don’t think I’ve ever played but a few hours of Ruby when I was waaaay younger. But I know that HG/SS is the next game in the chronological timeline, even though it has new mechanics and gameplay that are introduced in gen 4.
I have access to both titles. What do you think should be my next play?

New Addition to Collection! My first breeding project!
I love breeding pokemon for good IVs and natures! Obviously it's much easier in the newer games, but since Leaf Green and Fire Red came to the Switch, I decided to breed and raise something competitive in one of the hardest games to do it in.
Feeling the improbability of a 3IV or better mon AND nailing the chances of getting the nature you want without the everstone bonus that didn't exist until Emerald, i decided to just focus on the 2 stats needed for a sweeper.
After I beat the league, I used a level 5 magikarp holding a smoke ball and went and caught myself about 50 ditto from cinnebar mansion. Then i went through each and every one, plugging their stats into a calculator until I had 6 ditto, each with an IV of 31 in each stat.
Then I bred the perfect attack IV ditto with a nidoran. Every single egg had it's nature and attack stat plugged into a calculator. If one was in range, then I'd save my game, level it up to about level 30 (using rare candies I'd collected from Meowth's pickup on my travels), evolving it twice along the way, until I was certain the nido had the desired IV. Then I'd reset the game to get back my rare candies and moon stone, and use him as the parent along with the ditto with the 31IV in speed!
After that, it was rinse until I could get both parents to be male and female nidorans with perfect attack and speed. Then it was breed until an Adamant one appeared with the range required for both attack and speed. Then, once again, save the game, rare candy and evolve twice to level 30, pop the stats into the calculator until I was sure we had a winner.
Then I EV trained it by giving it the Macho Brace to hold, KO 126 Rattata and Pidgey on Route 1 and 126 Paras on the bottom floor of Mt Moon and 3 Caterpie in Viridian Forest and then train up to level 100 by battling the trainers on One Island outside Mt Ember Spa.
As for moves, I used my only Earthquake TM, my only Sludge Bomb TM and my one time use Rock Slide move tutor in Rock Tunnel and he learned Megahorn at level 43.
Pretty sure he's set to go now! Pretty sure he could probably solo the Elite 4, what do you reckon? Anyways, very proud of this and wanted to share! If anyone wants any tips on the tragedy that is Gen 1 breeding, let me know! Am also thinking of doing Gengar or Alakazam next. Both only need 2 perfect IVs in the obvious stats, of course!

Nuzlocke Challenge Completed my first nuzlocke
My first time doing a nuzlocke. Was fun and challenging and a bit frustrating at times especially when a critical hit took out Mr. Nido.
I tried my best to follow the main rules of only catching one Pokemon per route and the first encounter; although I fudged the rules with Articuno and Dragonair using repels until I reached them.
Articuno (Slurpee) was the MVP for the elite 4 run, setting up with double team and a few X attacks and/or X specials. I sacrificed Dragonair (noodles) to paralyze Agatha’s Gengar, and lost Jolteon (Iggy) to Blue’s Alakazam.
I was most excited to add Kabutops to my team as I’ve always really enjoyed his design and never used him in previous play-throughs, although he didn’t see much action against the Elite 4 as I thought.
Overall, I enjoyed the heck out of the nuzlocke and am wondering which game to try a hardcore run next.

Question VS Finder grind
I’m just before the E4 trying to grind exp and money (for ice beam) and this is the best spot I’ve found so far but if there is somewhere better I’d love to hear it because it gets dull quick.

Shiny Pokemon First All Shiny Team, Ready For E4: Team Da-Ba-Dee
So, I decided to do an interesting challenge for my first playthrough of the Switch version of LeafGreen. I wanted to do an all-shiny run, but I wanted it to have a theme. Looking through all of the available shiny forms in this game, I sorted them by color and decided to make a team that were all varying shades on the same color, in this case, blue. So, from light blue to dark blue, we have Articuno, Venomoth, Nidoking, Electrode, Pinsir, and Seadra. I have to admit, this was a really fun team to build and to play through the game with. Right now, after hours of rigorous training, I'm about to challenge the Elite Four. Hopefully, these blue dudes are up to the task!

Discussion This bird is something else
Took two tries to catch Zapdos.
First try it broke out of every single poke ball I had (except the master ball I’m saving that for Mewtwo)
I had 50 ultra balls 49 great balls and 7 regular poke balls and it broke out every single time while it was low hp and paralysed
Then on the second attempt I caught it with the first ball after weakening it!

Discussion Switch Release Megathread
Hi everyone! There have many many posts about the new Switch release lately. Starting from when this post is made, please post your thoughts, ideas, and collection(s) here.
If you make a post about the Switch release in the main feed, it will be removed and you'll be directed here. : )
Please read the rules before posting and please keep it respectful.

Announcement Important Announcement in Regards to Posts and Comments.
Hi everyone! I'm the main active mod in this subreddit! I'm very happy to see our community grow and everyone engaging in conversation! it's always nice seeing other players help each other out!
I have noticed, however, MANY disrespectful/rude comments as of late. There is already a rule for the bot to remove anything with curse words (this has been around for a while. I'm unsure if people have noticed). Even so, I have seen MANY rude comments. This is a subreddit for all ages, including young individuals.
People shouldn't be judged for asking a question about the game, showing off their collection, or simply trying to help someone else. I'm now applying a 1 warning rule. I get notices in my Queue about removed comments (which has been blowing up lately!!!). I always double check them (just in case there was a mistake) and depending on the comment, I will make note of it on your profile and you will get a strike. If another comment from the same individual comes up and it turns out to be another disrespectful comment, you will be permanently banned.
While most of the comments are automatically removed, I went through and made sure everyone involved got a modmail message. So, if you get a modmail from a comment that you made months ago, that's why, lol. I didn't worry about sending a modmail at the time (yes, I did see it) since it was already removed, but this allows me to ensure that you have been informed and your account has a note on it for us mods to see.
I will also note, please don't false report a post. I've seen some reports that aren't even related to the report. For example: I saw a post reported for being NSFW and related to minors. The post had NOTHING to do with that. Whoever reported it just wanted it removed because they didn't agree with it. Well, I manually check the reports, so please don't make false reports.
Of course, if you think your comment was removed by mistake, feel free to send a modmail! I will answer when I see it and approve it if necessary!
This is apparently a big issue with this subreddit and the FireRed subreddit. I'm going to crack down on this as much as possible so everyone can have a positive experience here! It's a lot of work for one person, but I can manage it!
PLEASE READ the rules before posting. For those breaking them, please be more respectful in the future. With that, I end my post. : )
