  1. Well, I remember back in the day when I was a little kid and Platinum wasn't even out yet, I always picked the grass starter and would play through the games randomly, stopping anywhere from the 1st to 7th gym usually. Then one day, I had an interesting idea and picked Mudkip in Sapphire. I never looked back. And Infernape became my new fav 4th gen starter.

     

    My first diamond team was Torterra, Staraptor, Floatzel, Glaceon, Gliscor, and Dialga. (I was like 8 or so and still used legends and named myself all caps like a noob). One member I eventually replaced was Pachirisu, which I gave the exp share to in the beginning of the game and never took it off, so by the third gym it was level 40 and op. Don't know why I ever replaced it.

     

    Also I once solo runned fire red up until the 3 islands with just Blastoise. To this day, I still have no idea how I did it. I NEVER grinded in any game as a kid. If I couldn't beat someone, I'd move my team around or equip different armor in an rpg, etc. Good times.

  2. Eey you got half of my team. I would actually keep that spot open for story reasons, but if you need one, I'd go with Rufflet which if I remember correctly is the area right after the 8th gym's town which you can get to without the badge or a psychic type like solosis. It'll really help your team for someone who's coming up soon.

  3. Pro tip as someone who uses Glaceon in Reborn: It's moveset isn't the best since shadow ball was replaced with shadow claw and I don't think the ice beam tm is in Reborn yet. At the carnival, you can teach Glaceon water pulse for some blue shards and mirror coat is REALLY useful on it. Frost breath is pretty good for Glaceon.

  4. I've only done one run so far with chesnaught (Wouldn't have gotten through the game without leech seed+Spiky shield lol) .Probably one of the fire starters, Likely Emboar or Charizard. Rain is everywhere in reborn, and Emboar's speed and meh spdf kinda holds it back (as well as Blaziken and Inernape just being better imo) and Charizard's defenses would hold it back along with it's typing. I could see delphox not being so great too.

  5. Not gonna lie, most of the 7th gen music sounded the same to me so I don't remember it well, except for team skull who was pretty good. Glactic's theme was awesome and kinda gives me the message *we're super radical bad guys Hehehe >:D* WAIT, I just noticed something. How dare you not include (xD)Mirror B's theme!!!!! He technically did have his own evil team, y'know.

  7. Love video games? Out of things to play? Have a 3ds? Well, I want to bring to your attention games that I feel don't get much love that might interest you.

     

    Digimon games! Don't kill me. Digimon world ds, dawn and dusk are rpgs that involve you going through dungeons with your digimons and isn't like pokemon at all, really. The digivolution method is pretty good and it's really satisfying getting a strong digimon. They do have problems though. Ds has random battles and dead ends with a kiddy story while Dawn and Dusk are slow paced in the beginning and in my opinion is also too easy in the beginning, but I can recommend them to anyone whos interested. Digimon World Championship, on the other hand, is unique and awesome and definitely the best digimon game. You raise your digimon like pets to prepare them for battle. The battles are ai controlled, but it's about raising your digimon's stats and digivolution is a complex and detailed system. You can simply wait to have your digimon digivolve, have it fight battles, or increase it's elemental ap to get ready for the championship, all the while having ways to increase it's stats. If youre interested, get World Championship first.

     

    Harvest Moon/Rune Factory: Underrated series in my opinion. You may or may not have heard of Harvest moon, but basically its a farming sim. You kinda have to play it yourself to see why it's so good (it's really hard to explain), and thats if you like it at all, you might not. Some aren't as good as the others but I'll rate the ds ones first. Tale of Two Towns: 9.5/10 This one is good to start with. I should know, it was my first Harvest Moon game and I couldn't put it down. 1/3 of my 8th grade summer went to this game lol. Reception is mixed, but I think it's good.  Sunshine Islands: 8/10 Basically Island of happiness, the GOOD version. IOH isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be but SI is way better and is mostly the same. Ds (cute is the girl version) 6.5/10 Do not start with this one. If you get really into the series it's pretty good, but things are super expensive and the game design just isn't well thought out but one can still enjoy it if they get past those problems. For the 3ds: A New Beginning 8/10 SLOOOOOOOOW beginning but if you get past that you got a good game. Story of Seasons 9.9/10 So close to being a perfect Harvest Moon game but small problems hold it back. Stamina drains fast, things are expensive, and the beginning is super slow but great game.

    Now lets talk about Rune Factory. This is a spinoff, the tagline is literally "A Fantasy Harvest Moon". Farming is a big part still, but there's combat, forging, mythical creatures and monsters and the like. 4 for the 3ds is amazing and in my opinion one of the best games ever just for the sheer amount of effort put into it but I'll get into that later. (1-3 are for the ds) 1 is a classic. It's simple, which is good, and it really balances the farming and combat well. The characters are ok, but there not really a focus. 2 dropped the ball a bit. It's pretty boring and just isn't as good as the others. 3 completely changed the formula. The mechanics are now more loose (which is good), more effort was put into the supporting cast, good story, better combat, and it still manages to balance farming and combat really well. This is where another 1/3 of my 8th grade summer went. In 4, everything that was good about the first 3 games have been upped to the max. The company could really use the help, too, as they're struggling financially. If you're in Europe, you have to buy it through the eshop, but it's worth it.

     

    999: The first part of the Zero Escape trilogy. It's a mystery game with a cool premise. 9 people are kidnapped and stuck in a sinking boat and must play "The Nonary Game". They have 9 hours to escape. They must find door 9, the exit, while following all of Zero's (the mastermind behind this) rules. They all have a number on the watch on their wrist (Junpei, who you play as, is 5) and if they break any rule, the bomb that was planted in their stomach as they were knocked out will detonate. Every character involved is linked to the story and there's a lot of story. Pay attention to every detail. There's past and present elements, amnesia, past friends, murder, and trust in the story and you choose your own path. As you can probably tell, this is not for the faint of heart. Death and blood is pretty common. The rest of the trilogy (Virtues Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma) is on the 3ds. The series doesn't have that many fans so the budget was limited and the third game had many production difficulties, but great series. This is where the last 1/3 of my 8th grade summer went. I had no life during that period. :/

     

    Lock's Quest: A tower defense game with you on the front lines. First you build your defenses and then you fight the robot enemies called clockworks yourself with the help of your walls, cannons, and traps. Good story and game design, and it's criminal how little people know about this game. I will say though, this game gets HARD, you get just enough supplies to last each turn and some bosses are probably gonna take a few tries, so if you can't handle big difficulty, I'd skip it.

     

    Advance Wars: Fire emblem but with an actual army, tanks and guns and that. Seriously, same company too. You probably haven't heard much of it because Nintendo acts like it doesn't exist. The first two for the gba are really good, 2nd one is better, and the 3rd, Dual Strike for the ds is the best. Days of Ruin, which is the fourth one, Is completely different, no returning characters or factions, dark story where 90% of the human population has been killed off by meteor strikes and the sky is covered in dust, making crops near impossible to grow. I could recommend any of them, and if you get into the series, go nag Intelligent systems to make a 5th game because they're putting so much effort into Fire Emblem. FE HAS BEEN SAVED FOR YEARS, NOW SAVE ADVANCE WARS!!!

     

    Petz Dolphinz (Yes, I'm serious): I know, I know but hear me out. My sister bought this years and years ago at a flea market and I was bored out of my mind so I decided to play it. I found that it can actually be pretty addictive taking care of the park and it can get pretty challenging as the game goes on. I haven't played any other Petz game, but after playing this one they might be pretty good. Overall, much better game than I expected.

     

    Fossil Fighters: POKERMANZ WIT DINOSAURZ 5.874653229/Turnip LEWL-ign. Not really. Some similarities, but it stands on its own. The first 2 are for the ds and are simple and good, but the second one felt REALLY short, like, I beat it in less than a week short, when most of my summer was devoted to Rune Factory 3, Tale of Two Towns, and 999. The third is for the 3ds, but I heard it was pretty bad.

     

    Pokemon Conquest: Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition. Not the first combo I think of but hey. Decent game and you don't really have to play Nobunaga's Ambition to get it. The big problem I have with it though is that since there is no more ds wi fi, you can't get the post game missions, so most of the game you can't even play.

     

    Oh and medabots for the gba, the rpg one. Itz gud :3
