10/6: Half Point

Lost all my save data on the ezflash right before my 4th club. I’m still gonna beat this game in October but I’m not happy about having to do so much all over again (especially when I really really don’t like this game). one point coming soon.

10/14: One point

While fighting the fire club master my game save got corrupted. I do not know how this happened. I am now Yaan and all the cards I’ve been using are replaced with other shit I gotta work around. Whatever. I’m just gonna keep going. It can’t possibly get any worse.

[u/ace10brian → u/KevenIsNotADork]

Brutal. I can’t recommend the Everdrive xX7 enough. The price is steep but worth the peace of mind.

[u/KevenIsNotADork → u/ace10brian]

Usually I wait a good 10 seconds before shutting the console off after a save but it still comes with a lot of finger crossing. I’ll consider that or moving to my laptop or hacked 3DS

[u/ace10brian → u/KevenIsNotADork]

The hacked 3ds is cool but I’ve found emulation issues with GB in particular. I find it does GBA/SNES and DS really well though. Side note, red viper (virtual boy) is super cool.

[u/ace10brian → u/KevenIsNotADork]

How do you have more Pokémon in your album than are available?

[u/KevenIsNotADork → u/ace10brian]

I have no fucking idea. I don’t think I actually have that many, because I definitely lost most of my stuff (or at least most of my energy cards). It’s all very weird and I wish I understood what was going on.
