PokéSpam!

that's fine

it's a little sketchy, i know

now i feel bad about it

[lolin]

nah, i would never

i distribute the baby pokes i get from breeding with the dittos sometimes, but usually they have something nice on them that i went and got legitimately, like hidden abilities from SOS battles/dexnav or egg moves i've cross-bred for

it's just... it takes like 5x more work to get a 6 IV pokemon with a 4 IV ditto (highest you can get from SOS battling a ditto unless you're really lucky

[H03nn89]

No exactly, I don't really condone cheating. I'd like the sense of accomplishment, even though it takes ages lol.

[lolin]

i'm not the type of person who hacks in legendaries or whatever, at least not anymore, and i certainly don't distribute anything i've gotten from that era

i'm pretty much straght edge at this point

i don't really enjoy the thought of someone ending up with a hacked 'mon unless they're already okay with it

it's more fun for me to mass breed and wonder trade off to see if someone gives me a unique ball type, which i love collecting

i mean, i've even played through pokemon dream radar TWICE to get all the dream ball pokemon from there, and that game is the epitome of grueling, monotonous gameplay

[H03nn89]

Lol. I can imagine it would be.

But yeah, I mean when I was young I did use to look for the cheats, but now, I like to have that sense of accomplishment that I've completed a game without any assistance.

[lolin]

exactly, it's nice now

it's different when you're older, i guess

sometimes you want a game to relax with, something you want a game to challenge you

as a kid i was always about just trying ot have the most fun possible

[H03nn89]

Yes indeed. I think when I was a kid too, I was trying to keep up with everyone else. Because you always had that one friend who always seemed to have higher level pokemon, or were further on then you in the game, and then you were like damn...I need to beat their sorry ass...lol

[lolin]

haha, yeah

it's weird to think back on past pokemon games and how they didn't have the feature to set all pokemon in a party to the same level

so you actually could have a battle between a level 1 geodude and a level 100 mewtwo

[H03nn89]

Yep the good old days! Children these days don't know what we had to do! lol

[lolin]

lol i'm sure some would gasp at the notion of needing a cable to trade with instead of doing it wirelessly

[H03nn89]

Oh yeah, could you imagine their faces? What am I supposed to do with this?

And the sprites they had for the original games. My niece was like what the hell is that? I was like, that's a Rhydon. lol

[lolin]

oh man, entire generations of pokemon players are already arriving that aren't going to know what sprites are

WE'RE GETTING OLD

[H03nn89]

I know right?

[lolin]

ugh, i don't wanna turn 30 next year D:

[H03nn89]

I’m 30 next year too!
