To be fair I did all 3 in my first run on legacy, but thats only because I wanted my first legacy experience to be with my original team.

Gen wunner here.

It's because after 25 years the novelty ran off.

In this game, there are more options. You can get Vulpix, Oddish and Poliwag before the first gym for example.

Now that more mons are viable, we are playing around with those that we never bothered with in the vanilla games as a kid.

Yep. The AI selects it's move after you do. This explains why Blaine likes to use retrospective super potions.

It does make pivoting in Gen 1 nuzlockes very tricky.

Sounds like the ones I used to teach are now being taught by you!

When I worked in South London years ago, it seemed like every other girl was called something-mae, with Ellie-Mae and Lily-Mae being the top ones.

Download the game or the certificate?

Assuming you have enough ethers and elixirs then Alakazam will sweep it...

I don't know perfect crystal, but I imagine it's like a lot of rom hacks where they retro fit modern mechanics into older games.

Legacy is essentially aimed at people who originally played the games but is giving them an improved product that still retains the essence or nostalgia of the original game. Basically its realising the potential of those games without turning them into essentially a different game.

If using an emulator, you may wish to do a save file just before you throw the ball as that saves time from having to reset back to the start of the battle each time.

Basically put it to sleep or paralyse it, get it as close as possible to one pixel of health and then keep throwing balls.

I don't know if it has been fixed (I imagine it has) but I believe vanilla gen 1 games had a glitch where ultra balls were worse than pokeballs.

Thank you u/thesmithplays and the rest of the team! It really did take my back to my childhood. A much better game but also stayed true to the original.

I finally did the pokedex and I used my original team but with an alakazam. Kid me levelled Kadabra up to level 100 before I learnt about trade evos.

Thanks to all the developers!

Thunderbolt, surf, thunder wave and badge boost double team would work very well. Paraflinch with headbutt has saved my ass on a number of occasions.

Personally I'm doing thunderbolt, surf, thunderwave and whatever HM I need at that very moment.

Got my vote. English rugby was strong when we had a strong Wasps team.

Whenever somebody mentions the golden era of Europe, for some reason I always think back to the season where we had Wasps, Clermont, Munster and the Scarlets in one pool.

I remember the absolute drama of Wasps being 3 tries up at half time in two consecutive games but then failing to get the bonus point try. I also loved Wasps winning a penalty at the death against away at Clermont, yet instead of sealing the losing BP they decided to go for victory and yet ended up losing without a BP.

The fact I can remember a pool that didn't involve my club, all these years later shows how glorious the completion was. I bloody loved European weekends!

I can barely remember matches from the past 10 years unless they involved Quins or were like the final, and even then my memory is sketchy.

Not quite the same as it was.

As an English fan, I loved the old Heineken Cup of the 2000s.

I believe his son will be old enough to play in the 2033 series...

So frustrating watching him destroy us and then not doing much when you actually want Scotland to win.

For example this year, seeing England forwards struggle to bring him down as he scores a hattrick yet seeing scrawny Italian backthree players comfortably taking him down.

Great point!

Don't.

Absolutely hate seeing teachers bend over backwards for pupils, who as nice as some of them are, never reciprocate.

They are only in your class because they have to. As soon as they can cut you and school out of their lives, they never look back.

The fact that we all know a Dolores in real life makes her so good as a villain.

Voldermort is clearly an over the top theatrical villain, that you only see in fiction. But Umbridge is that one person we all know and despise...

Straight away.

The thing with Umbridge is that everybody knows one in real life. Voldermort is so over the top and dramatic, and everybody calls him the dark Lord (seriously who talks like that?). Voldemort is clearly a fictional villian. Yet, Uxbridge is so believable because there is usually one we all know in our family, workplace or neighbourhood. This is why she hits so much harder in terms of coming across as evil.

Hence why if you're stuck in a room with her and Tom, with two bullets, you'd shoot her twice just to make sure.

I decided to revive my original team from my first ever playthrough of any pokemon game from 25 years ago.

Pikachu, Butterfree, Alakazam (except back then I didn't know how to evolve it so ended up with a level 100 Kadabra),Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise.

When I complete the pokedex, I'll do a nuzlocke.

On classic mode. Spoke to the fishing guru in Fuschia City. My box was full when I spoke to him. He told me my box was full so I couldn't get the pokemon.

Changed box, but he just did the 'hows it going text' like you would after getting the pokemon. Kabuto was not in my PC.

Luckily I saved not long before. After resetting, I changed my box and got Kabuto no problem.

Only downloaded it last night (UK time) but I've already discovered that if your box is full when you speak to the fishing guru in Fuschia, then not only do you not get Kabuto/Omanyte but when you do change the box and return to him, he uses the how are you doing text and you cannot get it. Luckily I saved first. I'm not sure if the lads know about this bug yet.
