So, uh, impressively, this is still going, has somewhere around 50k+ people participating, and they've gotten four badges and are slowly (and so fucking painfully) working their way through Silph Co. The amount of pictures that are going viral on Reddit relating to this (and subsequently leaking onto Imgur) is kind of amazing. People are really, really invested in this.

Also, as for the Safari Zone, the person who set this up apparently anticipated the anarchy, and they are using a ROM hack (or more likely simply have a cheat applied) that will give unlimited steps in the Safari Zone. So although it will still be painfully slow and will likely take the better part of a whole day just to get surf, they should be able to manage it.

They beat Giovanni and got the Silph Scope. This is after losing previously, many uses of escape rope, and various other exciting things that I refuse to even try to watch. And now, I will leave you with some pictures that will enlighten you as to how much fan whatever you want to call it is coming out of this.

My personal favorite: (after spending ages in Giovanni's office trying to talk to him the used Dig to get out accidentally)

Also today I learned I'm an anarchist. Fuck democracy. Slow and gets nothing done unless MAJOR coordination is needed.

Its not about playing the game, its more about being a social experiment.
It's just a pun :P
No matter how far they get, there's no doubt in my mind that they will never beat the Elite 4. There's no chance, at all.
They'll most likely need some serious grinding and possibly use Democracy for the strength puzzles in the Victory Road but I believe it can be done.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
