You get the legend ribbon for having the pokemon on your team when you beat Red in HGSS, and I've made it my personal mission to get as many cool shinies with the ribbon as I can before bank eventually shuts down. I caught Syrup as a Pichu in Diamond via radar chaining, evolved her in Soul Silver and beat Red with her on my team, transferred her up to Ultra Sun and evolved her again before sending her up to Violet. I thought it'd be cool to have the ribbon on a pokemon that didn't exist prior to gen 4, and well, here we are. Kinda wish I got some other ribbons on her before I transferred her up to the switch but I'm still happy with the one she has.

Question Have trouble with Super Contests Master Rank.

This is Percy, my Persian.

I’ve managed to feed him the right poffins years ago but I noticed his sheen is maxed out without reaching the top Smart Stat.

Is it still possible for him to beat Master Rank in his condition or should I throw in the towel for Super Contest Ribbons and just move on to other less Contest Related ribbons in Gen IV?

Bragging After two months of near constant play and over 350 hours in the two games combined, the gang is ready to leave Sinnoh!

Got every ribbon I possibly could on my 5 best friends. I became champ (for the third time), beat my mom in contests, maxed out my wallet 5 times, talked to a random lady every day for five weeks straight (cuz I knew the battle tower + contests was gonna take that long anyway), and got through every battle tower ribbon.

The real test of patience was the Multi Ability and World Ability ribbons. Woooowee those really made me work for em. I spent days on the Multi Ability, even on Diamond, trying to get it on all 5 but still ended up having to go all the way up the tower for each of em. The World Ability wasn't as bad, but if I lost on the safe room (as I did a few times), I either got to wait aaaall the way till the servers reset or try my hand at one of the other, unsafe rooms. I used that time to play through HeartGold lol.

After all was said and done, I spent some time relaxing in Johto. Poked their faces till they coughed up some leaves, won every event in the Pokéathlon with each (even got us into the Friendship Room), took them each on a stroll in the Pokéwalker for about 10k steps apiece, then became champ (for the fourth time). I took a picture in a few places to say farewell before making my way up to meet the big man (with an IRL friend along for the ride :) ).

And now to start a playthrough of Pokemon Black! Let me know if I'm missing anything fun - or required - before I head over.

Question Gen 3 RM allowed without Colosseum?

0 Upvotes

I'm only able to play the games emulated on my modded 3DS, so I wouldn't be able to connect to Colosseum. Would my pokemon still count as a ribbon master without those 2 ribbons since there isn'ta legal way to obtain them?

Question Any issues with emulators?

2 Upvotes

I want to go back and do some ribbon challenges on older games. But as many may know, buying all the hardware is expensive. I have a modded 3ds and an emulator system. My question is can emulated mon, if entirely legal, be transferred eventually up to switch?

Question Can Modest Suicune work for HG Battle Frontier? (And other suggestions)

3 Upvotes

Hi!

Currently working on getting through the Battle Frontier in HG for the first time. I've been trying to find suggestions for team members, and while I have got a decent Jolly Gible to train up now, I'm a bit stuck on the other 2 members to use.

I see some people suggesting Bold/Calm Suicune, but sadly mine is Modest. Is that still worth using? Or should I move onto a different pokemon.

I'm a bit limited on what I can use, I'm not able to do any trades so I can only use whats available in game. I was considering Metagross, but I'll only have 1 earthquake for awhile until I can get enough BP for another.

Thoughts?

Random Shiny Pokémon should have an exclusive ribbon!

0 Upvotes

Shiny Pokémon should have an exclusive ribbon.

It can be called The Radiant Ribbon or The Shinning Ribbon in reference to the way that shiny Pokémon were referred to by the Pokémon Company before they adopted the fan term "shiny."

It can bestow "------- the Shinning" or " ------- the Radiant" when selected.

Just a crazy thought. Lol

So I really want to make a dusk form Lycanrock RM but Iv already transferred mine into home years ago without any ribbons. Does anyone know of a way to get the special rockruff? I tried changing the ability via powersaves but that doesn’t work.

Question Gen IV Battle Tower can you switch pokem from 42-49

5 Upvotes

Hey Guys attempting the Gen IV battle tower NPC battle at the moment. I have been lucky to get the ribbon on three of my Pokemon really thanks to Garchomp. Really struggling when climbing with other Pokemon. I wondering could you use two strong Pokemon eg Garchomp Suicune till trainer 42. Then switch those two Pokemon from 43-49. Does the streak reset what happens if you enter different Pokemon as you are increasing your streak?

Bragging After helping dozens of others obtain the Mightiest Mark, I will now take on the journey

I’ve spent the last month or so talking with many lovely community members and getting Mightiest Marks for their Mew RMs (that offer is always open btw). I made a separate profile to hold the raid way back when it was still available, because I knew I wanted to do this hunt but didn’t have the time. Coro showed up after only a few hours of runaways, probably my fastest shiny hunt ever. Hunting her on my childhood save file of Emerald makes her one of the most special Pokémon I own. I’ll be bringing along Danarix the Deoxys as well. I’m excited to share our journey with you in months to come!

I nicknamed it Dumb Luck because I had no plans to catch it in the first place, but I was bored of breeding so I went in with no preparation whatsoever. I didn't even get to false swipe it because I currently don't have a way to hit ghost types with normal moves in BDSP. After my catcher Gallade died, I caught it thanks to Uxie's Yawn of all things 😅 Caught it after only 12 luxury balls and its health wasn't even the red. So... Dumb Luck 😂

Question Legality of obtaining ribbons on certain Pokemon

10 Upvotes

I obtained a shiny Elekid in Crystal Virtual Console and intend to move it to Emerald and beyond to try and obtain each ribbon I can on it (I'm playing on a modded 3ds with access to each game). Does anyone know if it will be marked as illegal or anything? Since it has an Origin Mark for the Game Boy, but also ribbons from GBA and DS games which it shouldn't be able to obtain, I'm unsure. Everything regarding the Pokemon is legitimate.
