This
I miss when games had full connection (albeit with form exceptions like Gen 3 Deoxys, Giratina, Shaymin, the genies, Keldeo, etc.), but as soon as I saw the XY ruleset in ORAS it was a bad omen
I get it for games like PLA, but I do miss those days
Yeah, this was the saddest side effect of dexit for me. Now games in the same gen can't connect directly. Only thing you can do is move a Pokemon between games through Home if it's in that game.
Just go to youtube and search "gba mod" and you will get endless shilling for the latest chink mod parts. It ranges from no-solder drop-in parts that a child could do to advanced soldering and 3d printing. It's up to you how hard you want it.
I traded on the Gameboy once in my life. I had a copy of Ruby, and I wanted Deoxy from a kid's Leaf Green. He was one of those kids with events on top of bringing his two wireless links everywhere. However, everyone else brought their Gameboy, but no one was autistic enough to either get the adaptor or carry it.
For me genuinely Arceus
Something about completing and perfecting each pokemon before advancing to the next area just hit right for me
Gen 3 was a wild ride across a shitload of games tho which was nice
Put a backlight in my dmg. It's all the original screen, just the mirror on the back was cut out and now replaced by a light panel. Looks dusty because I was playing in full ass sunlight
>Tried to add an HD music modchip to my GBA >Now the power won't stay on for more than a moment >Meaning either a fuse on the board broke or there's something wrong with the power switch
Desoldering and cleaning the switch seems like a massive pain in the ass, should I just buy a new power switch and replace the old one? I'd like to continue with my mods but this is holding me back.
Replacement switches retail for about $5. Parts are plentiful and inexpensive. Even the fuses are like $10 for a dozen, though I'm not sure how to measure the voltage across the fuse to see if that's the problem. That damn thing is tiny.
3rd gen is best gen! Never played a newer version. The only pokemon I still play every now and then (working on my living-dex, breeding, playthrough with custom team (trade lvl 5 team at first pokemoncenter)etc.).
I also made sure I got all the games (bought then years ago before the hype) - Ruby/Saphire/Emerald/FR/LG/Colosseum/XD and of course Pokemon box. I also have a GC-GBA player so I can enjoy the Game on my TV.
I forgot the original GBA advance was this sexy.
Because it wasn't. Backlighting is massive and make the screens look much more crisp
Lugia looks so good with the black accents
the sex tho?
I wish they'd go back to the black and white Lugia.
Aesthetic console mods are soulless
Youre too nostalgic, moron. Theres no reasons to not play old games on better hardware, especially on the screen, the gb where always shit for that
Gen 3 is my favorite, I consider the whole gen a single interconnected game.

*cums*
>can actually see the screen
soulless
How hard is it to do gba console modding? Any links for where to start?

>unironically having friends
normalgays GET OUTTTTTTTT
I only trade with myself.

It's possible to trade from JP to EN?
yes but i think only jap emerald can mix records with english emerald
can Japanese gen 3 games interact with english ones? I never tried that
Nice customs
I like that bottom Advance, that looks cool, love the light up buttons.
The 2nd most enjoyable dex to complete
Which one is the first and most enjoyable to complete?
For me genuinely Arceus

Cool, how do you even have time for all that?
Quiet nightshifts
Ems do be ideal for pokemon addiction
Based, hope working at night doesn't bother you too much, I know I wouldn't like doing that to myself
Was sind das für Fingenägel igitt
Kept breaking off so i chewed it off
Not my proudest moment
Nah i love nightshifts so it's perfect
That's great
Cool mods+GBA era completionism.
For me Gen 4 was the least favorite
Same
It's cozy and highly recommended
Like so many encounters were locked behind bullshit + everything just took so long
But it's also because I just don't find DS games comfy
Just threw my IPS screen in the trash for a ita tn. Definitely a big improvement
>backlight
nope
Too expensive
Should be like $50 unmodded
The GBA was a great system, and I love these classic 2D graphics.
But I don't miss the pre-WiFi era much. Being able to battle and trade online completely reignited my love for the series.

not with those cheap ass chinese shells

How much is a switch these days? If less than 20 after shipping frick it
