I just restarted Pokemon Yellow. 



I love the early Game Boy/Game Boy Color Pokemon games.

I remember when they first came out, alot of people just dismissed them as "kids games", but there alot of fun and pretty deep. Plus getting all 150 Pokemon isn't easy. ;)

I have a Chrystal version and I'm not going to restart it.  I just use it for storage.  Some Pokemon were starting to get weird as well as there just being too many to catch them all.  I've never played any version beyond Chrystal.

I used to have the Ruby version. I want to get the Pokemon Pearl(my Leafgreen version is for exporting to Pearl once I get it, I just need to get the National dex on it which is done in game).

They have built up alot of them(with the Diamond/Pearl games, you have well over 450). I just want specific ones, although I will build up the dex fairly high.

I have jumped back and forth on my games. On Leafgreen, I have one more gym to go before the Elite Four. On Albert Oddysey, I'm not too far from the end. On Dragon Warrior 3 GBC, I'm leveling up for the Necrogond cave.

I recently began playing 'Neutopia II' again for the Turbo Grafx-16.  Made it all the way from the start to the last labrynth castle before I gave up LOL

I bought DQ 5 for the DS in February. I started the game and got to around 3/4 way through the game, now I'm finally get back to that file.

I'm kinda tempted to start a thread about the Dragon Quest series.

I'm leveling near the end of main story on DQ5, my wife in the game was very far behind everyone else after I changed her back from stone.

I remember playing Pokemon Yellow on my GBC. However, that has now been superceded by my PSP.  Do any of the Sims games count as RPGs?

Subject: Re: What RPGs have you played, currently playing?

Written By: Step-chan on 12/09/09 at 8:44 pm

Well, most video games can count as RPGs in a abstract sort of way.

I guess the Sims could kinda be one(seeing how you're suppose to build your way up in life)

If you believe so, then I have 'The Sims 2 Pets' on PSP. It's a fun game, but the loading is slow.

I started a new file of Dragon Warrior 3 on the Gameboy Color(using the Gameboy Advance Player to play it).

Also started a game of Vay on the Sega CD, don't know if I'll beat it though.

I've been playing Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon on DS. Reached Chapter 4 without losing a single character. Many restarts required.

Don't you lose characters permanently if they die in that series?

I've been playing Atelier Iris and Kingdom Hearts 2 for PS2. I'm almost close to beating both games, however, I'm on the process of leveling up my characters. As for KH2, I'm trying to get Sora's Final Drive Form, which will take lots of patience and dignity. I also need to make some Ultimate Weapons as well.

Exactly. My bro's beaten both GBA FE's without losing a single character. Many restarts were required.

Reached Chapter 7 today.

I thought I remembered something like that about the day.

On Vay, I'm at Treefall. It turns out that I was underleveled when I got there, as the boss fight there took alot of effort to beat(and had to revive a party member). I needed to be at least 4 levels higher for that.

Restarted my game on Vay, after seeing some secret things I missed.

Also found out that Vay was made abit harder in difficulty for US release(They went overboard though).

Still Fire Emblem. Reached Chapter 10 without losing a single character. I restart the chapter everytime one dies, though. How does my bro do it?!

I wonder the same for the person who wrote the FAQ for Vay with the recommended levels.(Wind Elementa, level 21? I barely beat it on my previous file at that level. I leveled up to 24 this time)

I'm not too far from where I was when I restarted now on Vay.

Am leveling up and getting gold for a Beast Sword and a Wind Pipe.(Which is a type of staff)

I played a little of Atelier Iris 2, but just as a preview. I still got to beat Atelier Iris 1 first.

I owned Atelier Iris before... But I found that it wasn't something I was really into.

Finally beat Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon, now I'm playing through it again to get the Gaiden chapters. (A Gaiden chapter appears when you have less than a certain amount of characters after a chapter. In the Gaiden chapters, you get new characters.)

Reached Chapter 18 of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. I'll probably have it beat this week.

I've went through the Bonus dungeon getting all the items out, now I'll be leveling my party up to 50 before attempting to Estark. I just wish I knew a decent place with loads of Liquid Metal Slimes and Metal King Slimes for faster leveling.(They rare in the Bonus Dungeon and Mt. Zugzuwang does have the latter, I just have to go in further to get to them)

Finished FE:TSS. Now I'm playing its Creature Campaign.

All characters are at 50 or higher.

Tommorrow I will attempt to fight Estark.

Here's hoping my party can get the battle done at this level.

Written By: Step-chan on 03/01/10 at 3:50 pm

I've beaten Estark, took me 47 turns to do so.

I'll be deleting my save file on the game here later when I charge the DS, so that way I'll have 3 empty files for my next playthrough.(You get married in the game and have the option to marry one of three girls at one point)

Some of my characters in FE are at Level 20 and promoted, and I have 4 out of 10 of the secret characters.

I've only ever played online MUD games. (Does that count?)

I guess it isn't a full on RPG because you don't choose race, etc. but you do get different levels of stamina, armor, etc that you need to advance to the next level.

That was really addicting and fun back when not many people played it, and you could actually find what you needed...  the ones now are so saturated with players that it's nearly impossible.

Has anyone else played MUD (Multi User Dungeon)?  Sometimes I get tempted to create one, I did create pieces of them before, I'd really have to study up on it, I don't remember how to program. :(

Subject: Re: What RPGs have you played, currently playing?

Written By: Step-chan on 09/02/10 at 11:31 am

Never heard of MUD myself(Looks up info).

Yeah, that counts as an RPG.
