POKEMONSTROSITY CONTEST!!! - IT HAS PRIZES!!

Greetings fellow forumers, Txn here invites you to a special contest in commemoration of the future demise of Nintendo Wi-Fi connection services!

Some people here plays Pokémon, but let me ask you. Are you tired of seeing the same Pokeyman over and over again? Are you tired of fighting the same teams when challenging the gym leaders? Are you tired that your favorite pokémon sucks because of stats or shallow movepool?

NOT ANYMORE!

What we'll do is, using the Universal Randomizer, you guys can play a completely new and broken experience in the poke-a-mom world! But no worries, you'll use the same randomized presets so you can share the same horribleness to try and win some prizes!


What you'll need:

1) The most recent version of the Universal Randomizer
2) This preset file
3) Open up the randomizer and click Use Presets,


Use the preset file



Use the Pokemon Emerald (U) ROM and hit "Apply Randomization Settings"


Hopefully the instructions make sense  

4) Your all-time favorite GBA emulator, or if you want to trade/battle against other people, try the link-enabled Visual Boy Advance
5) Important! Under Options>Emulator check the "Real Time Clock" option and also change the save type to Flash 128k
6) To trade/battle against other people (only available in the VBA-Link version):

*Uncheck Pause when inactive window under Options > Emulator
*Open Options > Link > Settings...
*Set your configuration to Network
*If you're hosting, switch to the Server tab and hit Start! (You will need to know your IP address, and will probably need to forward ports)
*If you're not hosting, switch to the Client tab, enter the host's IP, and hit Connect


What you'll do:

1) Mention you want to participate in this topic
2) Play this abomination
3) Keep track of your progress by taking screenshots/recording important battles (against rivals, gym leaders, etc) and Pokemon Contests.
4) Have fun!


What you'll get:

There are four prizes in total, each with a condition.
1) Be the first person to defeat the champion: Steam game of their choice under $10
2) Be the first person to win a Master Rank contest: Steam game of their choice under $10
3) Be the first person to get a Golden Frontier symbol: Steam game of their choice under $15
4) Be the first person to Gotta catch 'em all: Steam game of their choice under $15

REMEMBER!!! If you already claimed a prize, you can't claim another one. Have to give a chance to the other players :V

Sorry Txn, I've tried but I can't stand playing Pokemanz anymore. It's just too slow for me even with battle effects off.

This's a cool hack tho. D:

Visual Boy Advance has an option to run at 400% the speed or more Arn.

Aww man.   
It's ok, I'm having trouble playing older gens since I got used to the battle speed in newer gens.

Although there's always this option:

Yeah I know, it's just idk... ._.

I stopped playing Black last year for the same reason.

I haven't been able to do anything these past few days.

C'mon guys, this tournament needs more love!

Join one, join all!

Unfair fight given I'm the champion.Good luck though

But that's also perfect for you. This is Pokemon Emerald we are talking about, the game where Wallace got hold of your champion position. You, as the true champion of Hoenn, should kick his azz and reclaim your championship!

Wow. I don't stand a chance! Might as well quit now.

Prove yer prowess!

I'm actually content with Wallace residing as champion over me since it gives you chance to go against me in Meteor Falls with lvls equivalent to Red on Mt Silver.Yes you do everyone has a chance since I'm not entering only really posted in this thread to support Sliv my initial recompense was a form of bumping.

It is with regret that I have to inform you that from this moment onward, this tournament has been cancelled due to the lack of participants.

Maybe it was bad timing on my part, but I'll just have to figure out a good day where people shouldn't be that busy. And who knows, maybe even change the game to Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver (it even has more stuff to do, meaning more money to burn prizes).

So, for now, I asked Slivius to close the thread until this thing is ready to start again.

Again, I apologize for this.

Until Next Time, See Ya
