It’s a joke but still one seems much harder than the other

Also, Pokémon Colosseum! The last non handheld-system Pokémon game that was any good. (And no, I wasn´t thinking ´Pokémon stadium 2 was better though´.)

@Gstiess forever has the one up on me with Battle Frontier achievements BUT I wanted to share my own childhood milestone I just finished 5 minutes ago: I got all the Silver symbols! The battle factory was the bane of my effing existence for so long but this week I was determined to crack it, and I finally did. A choice band Absol and a Grumpig with all 3 elemental punches helped me get there. I actually used the same team of Milotic Metagross and Salamence for the other 6 facilities, they’re hard to top. Next task is to home brew all the event items to get some legendaries. My brother hinted that he found me a copy of FireRed for Christmas, so a complete national Dex 385/386 (Minus Celebi which is nearly impossible without hacking because of region issues) will finally be within reach! Checking off life gaming goals…

This is quite the accomplishment!! Even as an experienced player, I found I had a hard time doing these.

Wait a heckin minute…
Battle frontier symbols gang

Also an incredibly poor quality repro of my battle record, in which I used the power of friendship to get two needed crits before snorlax flattens me

Huge congrats, I think the Silver symbols itself are a great achievement. Are you going down the rabbit hole of all the Gold symbols as well?

Great that you also try to complete the National Dex. I for now have the 380/386 on my Emerald cartridge - as I have no Game Cube, thats the maximum I could reach (I am afraid to home brew the event items because I fear I might mess it up and destroy my save file). Still that was tedious enough as I had the complete the Hoenn Dex on my Japanese Emerald cartridge twice in order to receive the missing Johto starters.

I’ll report back on how difficult/risky this method I found was! It would help me get Lugia, Ho-Oh, Mew and Deoxys. I traded to get a Jirachi from my brother since he had the colosseum bonus disk.

Otherwise you’re right, getting Lugia and Ho-Oh on the GCN games is prohibitively tedious. Love Colosseum and XD in theory, but their pacing has NOT aged well.

Edit: No I genuinely don’t have the strength for attempting gold symbols right now, and I have lots of other games to play. I want to bask in this victory for a while :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m with you! I’d have to basically start over with building a new team in emerald and i just don’t have the energy/patience for that

It worked! Super easy and little to no risk to your save file. Just got Lugia, Ho-Oh, Deoxys and Mew after setting it all up. Here’s the guide:
