Playing on a rom has one downside: Once you finish the Elite Four, that's it. No way to play further, no way to access the Unknown Dungeon. Blah. There's not much playtime left after the Four, but I still would have liked it.

When you skip no trainers and fight every battle you can, there's not much challenge at the end.

My party ended up as:
Gyarados (48), Kadabra (44), Raticate (44), Charizard (47), Haunter (43), Zapdos (63).

Zapdos, who got all seven of my Rare Candies before I started the Four, began as level 61. He one-shot most everything. Some of my pokemon (Charizard, Haunter, Raticate) were never even called out (except I sacrificed Haunter once so I could use an item without losing an attack turn).

I wish the game has lasted longer! I might replay it using all the hacks/cheats I resisted the first time.

The ROM doesn't you you play after the Elite Four? Wow, wonder why that is.

It said something about a memory board missing, some sort of technical message I didn't write down. I got the same message when I first started playing. :/

Aww. =( I know some games have code deliberately put in to make you not want to play an illegal version of the game.

Earthbound is the prime example of that. XD Playing it on a ROM, you'll have more random enemies, couple other spots it checks, and when the final boss goes into its second form, the game crashes and erases all your saves.

Ha! That's cruel! Clever but cruel!

I'm starting over, with whatever darned pokemon I want. 99 master balls ftw, and codes to make whatever pokemon I want show up as the next random one. Currently I have a level 2 zapdos! :P (Might switch it out for some other, not sure yet.) Still, amusing to have such a powerful pokemon be so low level!

You're playing one of the Gen 3 ones, right? The remake the Gen 1 ones?

I'd make suggestions, except Gen 3 is mostly a blur for me. XD

Yep, Fire Red! No worries, I'll figure it out tomorrow. I'm sure there are more than six that I like!

Did you play HeartGold/SoulSilver? It has the next generation of Pokemon, but it's a truly awesome game.

I don't think I have! When I'm done with this run (which I don't think will last long, since cheating/hacks = faster and less fun) I'll look for that one!
