Legendary DJ Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So after struggling with Whitney countless times when the games were originally released back in 2000, I managed to knock her out on my first try. Here's how my battle with her Miltank went (I'm using a level 28 Quilava and nothing else) Turn 1. Set up with smokescreen. Miltank attempts rollout and it misses. Turn 2. Ember. Miltank uses stomp. Turn 3. Ember. Miltank uses stomp again (like WTF not even trying to use attract or rollout again?) Turn 4. Ember. Miltank fainted. Badge won. I don't ever recall it being that easy. I mean I know the AI wasn't great back then but I never thought it was THAT bad. Link to comment

Cam L Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I haven't been following this super closely, but other than the obvious WiFi capabilities, have they added or changed anything else about the game? Or is it entirely the same as the original? Link to comment

Or is it entirely the same as the original? Entirely the same as im aware, even old glitches are still do-able, just as RBY glitches were do-able. You can clone-glitch and get all 3 starters/ dupe items this way (infinite masterballs and TM's if pokemon can hold them, im unaware if thats a thing yet i havent had the chance to try) You can easily get shinies in G/S aswell due to the way its calculated.

LiquidSwords Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I imagine Jynx's sprite would've been altered as well, if she wasn't already purple in the originals Link to comment
Legendary DJ Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Can confirm Jynx's sprite was altered to purple. Fought Clair today and swept her team with a level 46 EEVEE! Even her Kingdra wasn't any challenge for me. Mainly cause I had Typhlosion set it up with a smokescreen which messed up its hyper beam. Also Kingdra used smokescreen multiple times which doesn't effect swift which is what I kept spamming with Eevee. That plus quick attack as well which did her 3 dragonairs in. So yeah moral of story is get a normal type with decent attack and speed stats and just spam STAB moves like quick attack and swift and you can get very far in the game. Link to comment
