    Egg from Prima can be a Slugma, Eevee can evolve into Flareon, Growlithe or Vuplix by Sudowoddo.

    As others have said, there are other fire types in Johto (including Magmar in burned tower). The games that are worst for fire-types pre-elite four are diamond and pearl, where you have the choice of the fire type starter or Ponyta/Rapidash.

    Fortunately, Fire-types are completely unnecessary even when they are good. So it's not that big an issue if you CAN'T find one.

The emulator doesn't seem to have that problem, though, which makes me sad that I might not be able to use it...
    The battery's only for clock-related events, so you can still play the game without those events. Because time marches on, I doubt you'll get a game cartridge now with a working time battery. The battery's not responsible for your save file for the GBA games, though.

    A quick search tells me that Sapphire's battery (CR1616) is lightly soldered to its connectors. Some folks have had success just popping off the solder points just with a thin screwdriver and replace the battery themselves. GBA games are held together with a single tri-wing screw*, you'll either need to use a tri-wing screwdriver to open them up (this is something hardware stores typically don't carry, so expect to order online for that) or rig one up by melting a pencap. A good number of those have videos on the YouTubes if you want to take a look at the process, and there are a few unofficial repair stores that offer ship-in repairs.

    *These are sometimes called "Nintendo screws," can you guess why?

    Edit:
    Oh, and make sure if you do buy, that it comes from a major retail source. The GBA pokemon games are pirated like wildfire, yes, even today, and pirate carts have trouble keeping save files intact.

    Alright, after a romp in Cerulean Cape the team managed to not get anyone killed for.once including nabbing an Oddish and a Kakuna on Routes 24 & 25. Bill was in the middle of deviant act that I dare not repeat on a family-friendly forum, but he did give me a ticket to the S.S. Anne to keep quiet. After helping a local family with a burglar, I made my way to Vermilion City and capturing a Meowth on the road there.

    Realizing that anyone with the name Surge would use Electric types, I decided that Diglett Cave would be a swell place to train, my new Dugtrio agreed.

    Current team:
    Deku the Ivysaur lv 21
    Joey3 the Raticate lv 21
    Girl Talk the Spearow lv 15
    KapBambino the Meowth lv 10
    Swag the Oddish lv 17
    SupeShock the Dugtrio lv 31

    With Yelowjackt the lv 12 Beedril in the PC
    Now, we set sail on the S.S. Anne!
    Once you go blue, nothing else will do. Once you go Quarian...someone will die.

    Update SoulSilver run.

    The flying gym was difficult if only because of that Pidgeotto with roost. Dat roost. Several leers and many potions were enough though. Never expected not having a flying type would be so difficult either. I mean I caught a Zubat (which I should probably train soonish) but he doesn't learn any flying moves until 17 so I ended up having to teach Jaws Rock Tomb to deal with the bug gym. Hope the Togepi helped alot as well. Now I just need to train up Hope and Bullet to deal with my rival...

    Not really. Diglett is easier to catch and you can evolve it into Dugtrio. There's a 100% chance of you being able to have a Dugtrio by this point in the game.

    But,based on the comparative levels of his team, its pretty likely that his Dugtrio evolved in the wild- which adds some serious punch to his team.

    Also, considering this is a Nuzlocke run, the slightly better defences and survivability- which might well make the difference between fatality and non-fatality, particularly in a glass cannon like Dugtrio.

    Bulbasaur is the best of the starters for FR/LG Nuzlocke, I think. The defenses and type advantage early on matter a lot.

    Leveling Hope and Bullet up to 15 did the trick with my rival. Hope took out the Ghastly, coping a curse however, and dealt with the Zubat eventually between several healings. When I U-Turned the Bayleef with Bullet I sent out Hebi with the knowledge that she'd likely die yet she survived with 1 hp before I was able to swap back to Bullet to finish with a second U-Turn. Talk about lucky. Deciding to give her a well deserved rest I swapped her out for a Drowsy I later caught. Next up a little bit of training on Goldenrod's trainers and moreso outside the gym before fighting the Whitney if I think I need it.

    Was there a Vicinti event this time? As far as I know there's only been Keldeo thus far. Ah well I still have mine from BW.

    Ooh unholy crap. It's being done over here, too, (I think). Well, we've got a GAME and I've got to go into town twice in the next couple of days, so I'll see if I can snag a pair. (On my Black and White.)

    Also, dammit, France and Germany, how come we don't get a lightball Pikachu!

    Don't suppose anyone has got a spare lightball they'd want to trade at some point?

    As of 7/20, I've gotten help in trying to get past a physical addiction that's been eating at my time, and finished recovering from a spot of trouble that ended up eeking into Self-Harm. I'm doing better now; here's hoping it lasts a bit longer...

    As a cautionary note, it took me three attempts to get a Platinum this year. The first was a sufficiently convincing forgery (from China sold on ebay) that I might not have suspected without being forewarned by the Playground (and in the end, it was only the fact that they had onmly sent about half the paperwok that gave it away.)

    I still have a GAME where I live as well- had two branches locally until this year.
    Huh... both the ones in the main city centre near me have been closed down. There's still a Gamestation, but I've never felt that it was as good. *shrugs*

    And according to GAME's website... the store that I saw closed down a few weeks ago is still open... weird.
