it involves kast, and pokemon, and.... gameboy emulators

argh, I really should stop being lazy and add all my snubbulls back

ANYWAY

We've all of us got this Kast thing figured out, so I thought a fun way we could just all hang out in the same space and spend some time just chatting and crap would be... playing some Nuzlocke's together!

(I am going to talk as if you know what a Nuzlocke is, but immediately interrupt me if you don't)

You, Fel and I could all have our own files and just be playing side by side together and chatting in the chatroom or in voice chat, whichever we prefer. Nuzlocke's are dramatic and yet silly enough to be a fun thing to dick around with, I figured, and who doesn't like playing Pokemon?!

It does mean we'd each need to grab a working gameboy emulator, but that doesn't take much doing.

.... she says, knowing that she will get Fel to find and set one up for her

ooooh and haha, once Fel finds one I should be able to get it up and running too

I admit I know what a Nuzlocke is but. I get so attached to my little Pokemon...;A;

I could handle "after the fainting incident, they retired and lived in Bill's box for the rest of their days" though

I KNOW THIS FEELING, I was always way too scared to do a Nuzlocke but I started watching a few trustworthy youtubers doing them and they managed to make it seem like enough fun that I was willing to give it some thought! And I find it a bit easier to roll with the punches when it's emulated rather than a precious handheld cartridge ;_;

I could NEVER handle a nuzlocke in an actual pokemon game, I would die with my precious children ;_;

But yes, retirement box works for sure!

Pokemon randomiser (you use it on your rom): Universal Pokemon Game Randomizer
since I'm in charge of fetching, I declare Pokemon Emerald to be the rom of choice:
Emulator Games - Download Game ROMs
we're Windows-y in this house so we use VBA but I think you're a house Mac, Eli, so RetroArch might work for you?
RetroArch

aww you can't direct link to that download, ffs

go from here for Emerald anyway: Play Pokemon - Emerald Version ROM on Gameboy Advanc...

OH YOU

I can't believe you already did this, we are still in the planning stage you huge nerd

this is planning

BUT YES, A RANDOMIZER IS A GREAT IDEA, then we can get completely random starters, random pokemon on the routes, all that hilarious nonsense

can't wait to start with a metapod

metapod that knows idk sacred fire

That is true, emulators aren't real Pokemon

I actually will be playing on a Windows machine! My Mac is old and I replaced it with a Windows

I should be able to use the same stuff you two use :3

oh in that case, VBA is super lightweight and easy to use \o/
Visual Boy Advance

It is definitely too late for us here to think about this today, but when might be a good day for us to try this out?

Um hrm. I think Monday I am going to be home alone most likely so sometime then?

Monday then! IT IS DECIDED.
