NotSludgeBomb“Using automobiles, you can go places faster. Also you have to pay a few grand for one. Also you have to keep paying money to fuel it with gas. Also that gas will emit a bunch of carbon dioxide as you drive. Also you need half a year to learn how to drive one so you don’t kill people with it. Also the roads are more complicated with guides and stuff so you don’t kill people with it. Also people can’t walk on the roads anymore. Also-“
During the switch from the Game Boy to Game Boy Advance, the line of handheld consoles saw a change in CPU architecture, from an Intel 8080 inspired architecture to ARM. Nintendo wanted the GBA to be backwards compatible with Game Boy and Game Boy Colour games, but the new CPU couldn't realistically run older game ROMs by itself. So the GBA actually has two CPUs. The new ARM processor, and a copy of the Game Boy's CPU exclusively for running older cartridges.
so on github, there’s a decompilation of Pokemon Emerald called pokeemerald. I’ve been digging through it’s files out of curiosity and found an interesting struct in src/pokemon.c:
// Used in an unreferenced function in RS.
// Unreferenced here and in FRLG.
struct CombinedMove
{
u16 move1;
u16 move2;
u16 newMove;
};
static const struct CombinedMove sCombinedMoves[2] =
{
{MOVE_EMBER, MOVE_GUST, MOVE_HEAT_WAVE},
{0xFFFF, 0xFFFF, 0xFFFF}
};
since this gen was also the first to have Double Battles, I assume it would’ve been some sort of team combo mechanic. idk just thought it was cool
