Talking about a Poké-phoenix

In ''Something wrong with shiny pokémon #4'' video, I included a little nostalgia part.

And it was about a pokémon that's quite rare and even unknown, at least in the way it's obtained.

Many people are probably familiar with ''Ho-oh'', the legendary pokémon introduced in Gen 2 (Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal 1999 to 2001), representing a phoenix that has resurrected Suicune/Raikou and Entei.

Except that... Once Gen 3 arrived with the Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games (2002 to 2004), we couldn't really access them, simply because there was no compatibility between Gen 2 and Gen 3, no transfer possible...

Historically, Suicune/Raikou and Entei were available in the Red Fire/Green Leaf versions (2003), which appeared before Emerald, depending on the starter chosen (e.g. Salameche for Suicune), and after to beat the pokémon league, you can have only one of them as a fugitive on Kanto (although you'd still have to meet him - prepare a lead lvl 50 max, some repels and just camp around Cerulean City, and save before all - Wobbuffet is probably the best one).

For Ho-oh and Lugia (and Deoxys), Game Freak had the good idea of making them available in the form of an event:

Take your Game Boy Advance, your game and go to a game store (a store like... GameStop store) to unlock the Mystik ticket... And it was only for Emerald, Fire Red and Leaf Green cartridges. If you missed this event, the action replay was your only solution.

But where does that leave us?

Two other games were released: Pokémon Colosseum (2003/2004) and Pokémon XD (2005), two off-series games for Game Cube, a sort of 3D continuation of the Pokémon Stadium games. (I guess?)

(You notice Groudon and Kyogre but... You can't got them in these games... 🤣 )

The goal is to purify all dark pokémons that you...

Steal.

Yes you can steal, but only dark pokémons. Dark pokémon are supposed to be more powerful than a vanilla pokémon (spoiler: not really, except against you...).

Lugia is obtainable on Pokémon XD, but once captured, all the rooms must have reached maximum tempo to purify it.

(But honestly, you really want to purify XD001? 😯)

I played Colosseum, and my little memory reminded me that this game was quite time-consuming (and it was HARD!!!) Hours and hours of XP farming... Not to mention the time spent purifying the pokémons (48 needed to be purify). But that's not the point.

I would talk about him:

(Yea... It's mine. Transfered to Sword version.)

Because what they don't tell you is that once you've reached a specific objective you can get it, once all the dark pokémons have been purified, you have to do... 100 Battles in the Mt. Battle on battle mode in the menus instead of launching the adventure. (Yes! Not in the story mode! 😑)

Someone please... Where did you find THIS INFORMATION?! Can you really find it in the game?!

This last screen after some hours of farming, battle, farming... farming...

This one is so satisfying, reviewing this shoot with Ho-oh reminded me how some games are sometimes absurd with their players, but some challenges lead to heavy rewards. It almost makes me sad that this kind of thing doesn't exist anymore in the latest games, there aren't really any challenges anymore... Or maybe they're not rewarded well enough... I guess...

Of course, my madness managed me to transfer this gem to the latest games (something I'd never have thought of back then), as someone had lent me the famous GBA-GC cable, so if you're familiar with transfer methods, you know the rest.

Ho-oh became obtainable again, thanks to the HeartGold/SoulSilver remake of the Gen 2 games (Nintendo DS to 2009), then Sword/Shield (Nintendo Switch to 2019, from the second DLC...), then on Brilliant Diamond (Nintendo Switch to 2021) via Rosa Rugosa Park (with an intense underground farming), and Scarlet/Violet (Nintendo Switch to 2022, on the second DLC... Again...).

(Finally transfered on Scarlet, all Colosseum Ho-oh had the ID 10048)

Without count event or an obscur way to got him (I mean cheat or glitch) I think the ''Colosseum Ho-oh'' is the rarest Ho-oh of all Pokémon games, and it will be still rarer with the closure of the Bank Pokémon (transfert from 3DS/2DS to Switch), while we wait for alternatives (I guess) from REAL PLAYERS, those who really appreciate this license.

I hope you enjoy reading stories like this,

Thanks for reading me 😊

Sandbox, bricks, legos ? What’s this ?

Those who follow my YouTube channel probably wonder: What the hell he's going ? What's this random sandbox game is??? 🤔

For connoisseurs (I love this word 🤣) it would be rather a BEAM.NG but with legos.

We are on a pure construction game with an editor mode.

Cars, tanks, building, boats… We can build what we want and since the last updates the game allows us to build more accurately.

Yes, we can have this LEVEL of detail, thanks to the workshop community. 😜

Personally I usually build cars, even if I sometimes want buildings to create a nice place.

Everything is accessible with a multi mode, however as with most sandbox games, do not expect to have order and pay attention to your personal creations, if they are exposed on these servers.

(This one is so true...)

So, you can play some other gamemodes: Zombie, Conquest & Deathmatch, honestly I'll not detail theses parts, I never played it...

If you were a fan of lego or love to expand your creativity using blocks without want to invest in a too complicated 3D editor this game is for you.

There is a time of adaptation concerning key binding, but believe me, the investment is worth it.

This game is still updated, certainly it remains quite extensive but Fluppi only developer of the game still working on the evolution of his game. Don't worry about it.

So, how do you expand your creativity?

End of an arc

For someone who follow my YT channel and interested by sport cars, you probably asked : What’s going on?

I had play a lot sim-racing this last 2 years, a colleague loan me a sim-racing steering wheel Thrustmaster RS 350 to learning, and inevitably when I gave it back to him: I finally bought a Logitech G27.

My setup was very archaic: no metal chassis, no bucket seat… Just a steering wheel G27/pedals/shifter, a lounge pug, some workbenches, my light gaming setup, and a huge determination.

The goal : Learning sim-racing no matter the cost (And… Without burning the wallet :x).

And then that famous fateful moment after hundreds of hours spent on it. This marks the end of my projects around sim-racing.

Something is sure: “I’ll do better next time.”

The sim-racing was a real pleasaure, I know you’re not a lot of people to follow this little adventure, but for the few people :

Thanks a lot for watching.

Pokémania

Few months ago, I published a video on the game Pokémon Ecarlate. It was in a format that I find appealing, similar to my Legend Arceus series - a best-of humoristic series.

This kind of format is something I'd like to do more often on Pokémon games.

To Pokémon Violet/Ecarlate I admit it for me, there are many reasons to have some difficulty to simply walking around in the game, everyone has already explained anywhere in internet what needs to be addressed with these games. I will add that the adventure remained attractive but the content itself as well as technical defects affects its gameplay a lot (except DLC).

Legends Arceus was attractive as it offered some fantasies none other games from the Pokémon franchise provided, not in mention that wildlife tries to eliminate you.

But personally, like most people who are described as "nostalgic" I guess, it is difficult to return to this "magic". I mean, I played a lot with great passion. (I'm talking about more 500 hours on a cartridge)

So I went back to the past and I played Pokémon X, Ultra Soleil, Saphir Alpha... - games I had not played because I could not afford a 3DS at that time. It reminded me that the games were still complete but less ... Bugged out.

And I stupidly did the adventure of each game and I had fun doing this:

Yes, his little one did a contest from Saphir Alpha, some contests on Diamond Brilliant, and...

(In progress)

Recently, I made the mistake to trying out the shiny hunting with Pokéradar on Diamond Brilliant, and I was forced to admit that there was an addictive side even though I found nothing cause multiple broken chains. Retrying as if I played lottery again and again, except that we always end up winning something in the long run despite the hours lost.

I understand better this enthusiasm for this exercise, but it will remain very occasional. I prefer finding shinys randomly, especially in Legends Arceus. =p

I might try my hand at more seriously-minded romhacks/fangames in the future. Even though I've been mostly enjoying PokéWilds with expectations of a forthcoming big update, and I tested Emmerald Rogue which witch was a pretty good game, these games allow playing pokémon without necessarily getting bogged down by an entire story and provide unique experiences.

So, what do you prefer: Vanilla play, creating your own challenges, playing creations from communities or something else?

Renault Alpine A110 1600S

In the last videos, this tiny thing appear regularly:

140Hp SAE (125Hp), 138Nm from a Renault 16 TS engine 4 cylinders in rear position like a Porsche 911, the total weight is 635Kg and can reach 210Km/h.

Nicknammed “La Berlinette”, knows for its Group 4 rally victories in Europe.

I particularly like it because it ticks all boxes of the ideal sport car: Light, little, fast and agile, not in mention of this design magnifique for me.

I’ve driven these cars at first on Gran Turismo 5/6, I had a lot of fun preparing for the races and... Drift.

On Gran Turismo 6 This little thing reach around 250Hp with around 630Kg.

So much good memories...

And Assetto Corsa... After a several sim-racing routine, when I finally found the best one for me among so many mods, I did a few modifications for better drive.

Who expected this one could follow a Impreza 22B in touge?

A serious opponent seems to enjoy this one.

Until to obtains the last generation of A110 since 2017, inevitably a race was necessary.

Unfortunatelly the 1962-1977 A110 are very expensive, actually in Europe for a classic 1600S, the price is around 80 000€ until almost 140 000€ (So, A110 or 911? 'cause It’s almost the same price lol)

Finally the last generation is more affordable; my dream car is so far away…

And you, what’s your dream car?

Back on the virtual roads and...

...I discovered a strange one.

So, some concept cars have not been discovered 'cause hidden or just destroyed without any documentation…

And if some concepts are ‘’exposed’’, they can be misunderstood that even google does not know them.

But apparently if you look a little better, there are often traces left.

I found this : A Porsche 911 HLS Concept 1966 (or 1964?).

Built in 1964, based on Porsche 911, some engineers tried to create a ''racing coupé'' with a folding roof. This one was powered with a flat-4 of 130hp.

This car is the ancestor of the 911 targa and 914 ?

For me the lines also evoke mildly the Porsche 924 and 944. What do you think?

You can read this article who talks about it better than me.

A little faded but alive.

Hello everyone!

As you've noticed the last Tumblr post was dated, and for those who follow my Youtube channel overall the pace of my posts has slowed. This is relative to what I posted before: Time is missing, it's also other projects that are taking over.

For the horror games fans and fans of "Saiko No Sutoka", don't worry there will be a sequel of gameplay videos (at least one episode), I'm just waiting for the arrival of the next update which integrates new mechanics of gameplay, because I sincerely don't think I have much to show about the last version 2.2.8 (except my deplorable level in horror games lol)

And I admit that I'm dreading the content of the next version. =x

A big thank you to those who follow me and will follow me, it is always a pleasure to try to entertain people.

In the meantime, don't hesitate to give me your opinion in comments in my videos or on this Tumblr.

Imagine… In the middle of the evening you’re alone in a big unknown building, the corridors are deep and dark, the moon penetrating through the windows, it seems to try to erase the darkness.

You turn your head and...

...You fearfully see a figure at the top of the stairs.

Red eyes, the moonlight reveals a knife, a purple skirt and a white shirt.

She observes you, with insistence...

You are alone in front of her...

She...

...In truth you just fell asleep, but she's still there.

Why suddenly create a livery? All this comes from a delirium with a friend, I wanted to create and offer him a "Toradora" livery (his favorite anime) on Forza Horizon 4 on a 2007 Subaru Impreza.

Unfortunately I could not transfer or recreate a livery of this kind on Forza Horizon 5 (due to a lack of “resources” and my inability to create characters properly XD).

So, I did it on Assetto Corsa.

Let me present you this little random '70 tuned car.

A Toyota Starlet EP61 1979, the second generation that a compact car but above all a RWD car!

Originally the most powerfull engine sold stock is a 1290cc of 75hp... Here the engine is swapped for a 4age stock, 130hp of fun with a weight of about 700kg.

Small peculiarity at that time in Europe, there were already very few compact cars of this kind, I could quote the Talbot Sunbeam or the Vauxhall Chevette hatchback.

It's actually my favorite drift car, and I almost wish I had a real one.

So, for a change I recently played a pokémon fangame, unlike the usual romhacks this one literally offers a Minecraft/Terraria like adventure, a randomly generated world that you explore.

Biomes, various fauna/flora with which you can interact differently from traditional games, constructions and outdoor breeding, but above all an unknown world in which it seems you would be the only human being.

Would you dare this discovery?

Many thanks to the french youtuber Fildrong for this discovery.

As I write this, the game is still in development.

It's a car planned to participate in the rallies of the group S during the 80s. The group S having planned to launch overpowered cars with powers sometimes exceeding 600hp. The group S could never exist officially because the project was dead born following the disappearance of the Group B mainly because of many fatal accidents.

Despite the existence of the Pikes Peak or the rallycross, the Toyota MR2 222D will not participate in any race...

Here I drive one of the rare existing mods, and I can tell you that it's not easy to drive. But it was a lot of fun.
