I... did. I was already at the part where you have to deliver the Ranger Tribune or whatever as your first official Ranger Mission, and Starly was officially made my partner pokemon. Once I came back to the ranger base and ended the day, the next time I regained control of my character the Starly was back, but with the hacked pokemon in the first friend slot instead for some weird reason.

That's the funny thing - I didn't use it until I officially got Starly as a partner. How annoying. I'll probably pass on playing this game, then. At least for now.

So recently I decided to try and motivate myself to play through this game, but found myself quickly bored with the droll partner lineup they give you. I tried using the partner modifying code that someone (SCV? not sure; it was on an old pokesav thread) made, but ran into some issues. At first, the only glitch was that the partner assist gauge would not show up outside of battle. A minor annoyance. But then the real trouble started. After a cutscene (specifically, the one where you end the day after delivering the newspaper), I was stuck with my original Starly again - but that's not all - my hacked partner was now stuck in my party at the first slot, eating up a friend pokemon slot and not showing up on the release screen (and not even going away after being used in battle!). Any ideas on how to fix this without having to just start another file?

Capcom - Cody's Theme [03:24] Turn the beat back

1 year already? Yeesh, time flies.

Oh lord, I have no idea. I'd say it would be a decent bet that my first game was The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo, since my grandfather owned both that and Zelda II long before I ever had my "own" video game systems. After that, probably Sonic 1 + 2 + 3 + Knuckles, if not a few random games in between.

Rares that are specifically holo in the actual set can only come as holo and reverse foil unless they come in a theme deck, like the Tangrowth you have.

If it makes anyone feel any better, I voted without even reading a single post in the thread. I voted Deoxys because the minmax image makes perfect sense for a hacking community. :T

And at the same time, their opposition wouldn't suffer from a chunk of their HP being gone and not being able to use Focus Sash. Wouldn't Regice make a decent Zapdos counter at that rate, even? It just seems like a give and take scenario to me, honestly.

I'd love to play some games where it wasn't used just to see how it would work out, but I wouldn't support a ban (I don't support any). The fact of the matter is that it's a one turn attack that takes away a decent chunk of HP from ALL of your opponent's Pokémon, and renders a lot of strategies and items much less useful or even obsolete. It's too stupidly good not to use. Is this a bad thing? Maybe, maybe not. If you're worried about "over centralized metagames" and whatnot, I suppose it could be a concern.

I see nothing potato about this team. 0/10.

One word. wat

It's just as absurd as being emotionally attached to any other invisible, non existent entity. *cough* :rolleyes: Though really, I don't see "using bitter medicine" as "being mean". You have to take medicine in real life, and 90% of the time it doesn't taste good. Oh well? The user will toughen up eventually. :T

God Is An Astronaut - Forever Lost (Reprise)

Exciting to see someone finally making a move towards activity. I'll keep my eye out.
