From left to right: Bucket, Poki, Soup, Marble, Bubbles, and Goopy :)

I'm playing the following following platinum rom hack, so its been fun having my Pokémon follow me around.

Just beat the elite four so now I'm probably wrapping up my time with the game, and will eventually move on to gen 5 (I'm playing through each gen moving through the regions, I've not really played any modern games so I'm looking forward to trying them :)

a picture of a 3DS screen showing a Pokémon trainer in the middle and three Pokémon on each side. From left to right, bastiodon, garchomp, spiritomb, rotom fan, toxicroak, and the blue and green variant of gastrodon. There's confetti falling, and at the top of the screen it says "League Champion! Congratulations!" and at the bottom it says "Cris ID 03050 Time: 126:50"

Have fun with gen 5.

    I love how so many of these old games has custom servers up and running. Metroid Prime Hunters apparently has a thriving community too (though I left the biggest discord as soon as I joined because it looks the lead admin is literally a DHS nazi 💀)

    The bigger hurdle really is the DS's wifi compatibility since WEP is so outdated and insecure. I haven't actually messed with it in ages, but seems like hotspots are the way to go and are super easy to set up on linux, so maybe I'll dust mine off and give that a try.

    Yeah I used to do it through my mobile hotspot, but Android dropped support for 802.11b, so now I gotta use my PC.

    On the other hand, I think emulators like MelonDS have an emulated network passthrough which makes it super easy to use.

    That's sick as fuck, thanks for the link!

    I'll have to figure out what exactly that enables and how to set it up but it looks neat! If its just setting the DNS like the page says that seems super duper easy
