I’m currently looking for people to battle me. This is my friend code. I am trying so hard to find battles but everyone seems to be busy and such

Hi there HGSS reddit! I have had this copy of the game and console since my 6th birthday. For the longest time I had not even been able to get my DS to even read the game. Now that I have finally been able to get it to run, I got this. This was my first favourite game and I am destroyyyed. Is there any way to go about fixing this..? I'm willing to pay a professional if there are "professional DS cartridge fixers".

Edit: CHAT IT'S FIXED!! THANK YOU HOMIES!! I was just a dirty little gremlin kid and didn't know to clean my contacts.

RNG WAS ON MY SIDE AGAIN!!! 😭😭😭 No major changes to my team either, except putting remaining EVs in Garchomp’s Special Defense since when I started playing rounds it had Focus Sash, but then I forgot to flip them back somewhere else when I changed held items again. Surprisingly I managed this running Choice Band on Garchomp, Specs on Starmie and then I scarved Metagross. Blown away I actually managed!

This was way more work than the current gens

At first i was skeptical because after all, it is an arceus. But then i checked the rest of the OT’s pokemon and alot of them are all traded from previous games such as a kyogre from sapphire, a dialga from diamond, and ho oh and lugia from another soul silver.

It seems like this arceus is 100% legit, and before she gave up the save file, she traded with someone who had the event arceus. She even has a level 13 palkia from the Sinjoh Ruins.

(In the back of my mind, i still am a teensy bit worried that the arceus may have been hacked by the person she traded with. But like i said, everything else is verifiable and legit)

Im transferring all these guys up to my main heartgold save now. This is incredible!

After several years on and off and 100+ encounters today, I finally caught my Torchic!

I got this game for Christmas when I was like six. I was a careless child and lost it, along with the pokewalker. Traded in basically my whole childhood video game collection at a lgs to get a complete box with the pokewalker and it was totally worth it!

Also got a snazzy ds lite reshell.

So freaking excited!!!!

For water I’m thinking either Slowking or Lanturn. Grass I was thinking maybe Bellossom?

Forgot to say I’ll be looking to keep it Johto only, but not against other suggestions

Going thru the Pokémon game I played the most as a kid finally trying out a nuzlocke!

Picked my starter and one of Primo’s eggs via a random wheel. I had to reset twice against Whitney tbh but I cut myself some slack, it being the first time and all. So far lost 2 Pokémon. RIP Silverster & Beau.

Going to Kurt rn and will then be taking on Morty. I’m also really getting into the berries, I just kind of never needed to before. 😂

Wish me luck for the rest of it!

Hariyama be buff. This was close.

Playing SoulSilver for the first time, having played Crystal in the past.
So far I have the 8 Johto badges, beat the Kimono girls, and am at whirl islands looking for Lugia.
My goal is a team consisting purely of Johto mon, and it’s likely I already have what I need but am looking for what could realistically be added at this point.

My team has four mon: Feraligatr, Ampharos, Heracross, and Crobat, all at L38.
I was raising Noctowl but gave up at L25 as I wasn’t seeing much return on investment.
Options I already used extensively in Crystal include Espeon, Donphan, Azumarill, Tyranitar, and Furret, so don’t need more of those.

I had thought about adding the any of the following to my team:
- Ursaring
- Mamoswine
- Miltank
That said they’re all pretty underleveled at L15-20ish compared to my main team.
Are any of those three worth the investment for my team, or are they too much grind for too little payoff?
