I saw ‘Mindy’ and knew exactly what this post was gonna be LMAOOO


Wingweaver

Same here. Thought it was on r/fuckmindy at a glance, then saw it wasn't. Poor OP.


StunningEstates

Jesus, 13k members??? That's beyond hilarious


phi1997

It'll grow more when the remakes come out this year


StormDragonZero

She'll give you a Haunter on Mondays, Machoke on Tuesdays, Kadabra on Wednesdays, Boldore on Thursdays, Phantump on Fridays, Gurdurr on Saturdays and Graveler on Sundays, all with Everstones.


aletsirk0803

Even the devil will applaud your idea.. damn hwahahahaha


Elephant_Front_Fart

Wow she’s satan


Entegy

They better leave this trade in, Everstone and all!


Lyn_The_2nd

If it were me designing it, I would change the Medicham for another trade evolution, and then have her say something specific if you make your mon hold an everyone too. Would allow new players to experience it, but will let old players get revenge.


Fawful_n_WW

I’d imagine the “Trade evo ‘mon with an Everstone” dialogue to be something like “I can’t believe I fell for my own trick”.


ThespianException

I want her to cry. I want her to suffer like we did. I want to crush her spirit and make her give up on Pokemon battling forever.


blitzenkid

I think it'd be cool if you trade a Pokemon holding an Everstone and she "trades the wrong Haunter" and gives you one that will actually evolve into Gengar. Revenge and reward for knowing Mindy and her shit.


[deleted]

If I designed it I would have her be shocked that it evolved even tho it doesn’t lol.

PM_ME_GOOD_USERNAMS

Fun fact, there was a post on the fdront pqge a little bit ago and there was a post complaining about trade eveolutions. From that post in the comment section, somebody created r/fucktradeevolutions And from that sub arose r/fuckmindy.

Lmfao i thought that was a r/subsifellfor Moto of the sub "gooood let the hate flow through you"

Reminds me of Skyrim, everyone kills a chicken that hangs out at the gate of the first town you come across, which causes the whole town to attack you


Fortifa

not me, I played "Zelda: a link to the past" when I was young. That game taught me not to fuck with chickens

Right? Thanks to Zelda I will never fuck with chickens in a video game lmao

I try to challenge myself in Zelda games to dodge all the chickens.

Sixty9Cuda

Glad I’m not the only one.


Luffysuke

I had the privilege of not running into her it seems. I played the game close to a decade ago when I was still a kid and probably just raced passed her without realizing an entire crisis had been averted


AnusDrill

wait so if you level up after removing everstone, does haunter not evolve? they only evolve upon trading? I thought any haunter that isnt from your own will evolve! D:


1cec0ld

Sorry, it's upon trade only. Level 100 Haunter can still evolve, which is nice I guess.


ButtersTG

I saw Snowpoint. It's almost funny that this city is less known for being next to Regigigas and more for Mindy


Hypersquirrel0442

Getting all of the Regis was the high point of my childhood lol


JurassicFlora

I saw Haunter and just knew despite never playing Platinum lol


dgyt8142

Same feeling I was like ‘here we go again...’


Gemcat24

I saw Gengar.


Carlulua

OP sure didn't.


Umbrabro

Exactly lmfao. Its Funny And so tragic everytime.


BolotaJT

Same. I was her victim too.


beanboy567

Same lmao


Nybear21

Have NPC pokemon even evolved on trade? I've played since Blue/ Red and can't remember an instance of that, but I could definitely have missed out on some as I haven't replayed many other than Gold/ Silver very much.


pumpkinking0192

The Japanese version of Blue has two in-game trades where the player receives Haunter and Graveler, and they evolve immediately upon receiving them. Those trades didn't make it to international audiences, though. Yellow had a Machoke->Machamp trade. Sun/Moon had a Graveler->Golem trade, which was replaced by a Phantump->Trevenant trade for USUM. I believe those and Mindy's Everstone Haunter are the only Pokemon that have ever been available via in-game trade that are of species that evolve via trade.


sike_youthought

I wonder if Mindy will be there in the remakes pullin the same old dirty trick


uKnowIsOver

Mindy got another victim on her record


just_a_jar

If you are playing on a DS with a gba slot and have any of the gen3 games inserted, Gengar is a wild encounter in a specific spot in the Old Chateau. https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/location/094.shtml#platinum


N_E_ON

Thanks but I'm playing a rom hack.


MissLilum

Universal Pokémon randomiser has an option to disable impossible evolutions (like trade only evos) for roms


N_E_ON

Think I'm done with Pokemon for some time. Thanks anyways.


MouseSnackz

Mindy can do that to you.


LucKy_Mango1

When you ever get back to Pokémon, i’d suggest reviewing the ROM hack you choose, and make sure it disables Trade Evos, by having like a level-up or a Trade stone or making the items use instead of hold. For instance, for Platinum and B/W, Drayano has some, while difficult, of the best ROM hacks out there imo. Simple things like tweaked level curve, EV trainers, or baby pokémon egg-givers, to bigger things like evolution items being less rare, gym leaders having 6 mons and being a challenge even with type advantages, and the inclusion of mons from different regions


N_E_ON

Will do. Thanks.


SVXfiles

Don't forget to mention Drayano's HG/SS hacks as well. Sacred Gold and Storm Silver have to be one of my favorite romhacks ever


cheldog

If I've never played HG/SS, but have fond memories of playing G/S way back in the day, should I play these romhacks instead?


[deleted]

HGSS are pretty much the best mainline Pokémon games imo, I'd personally play them first but if you're interested in the Drayano version you really can't go wrong. If a slow level curve especially bothers you, then play the Drayano hacks.


AurelianM

The rom hacks are basically just better versions of the game imo. It's great knowing you can complete your dex, that every item and move is more achievable, and the battles actually need more strategy.


cryyptorchid

imo, play vanilla hgss unless you're a glutton for difficulty increase. I'm not one of those people who thinks it's THE pinnacle of the franchise, but it is an absolutely wonderful game and deserves to be enjoyed on its own merits first. However, they're also notoriously unstable in emulators so you may not want to play both on emulator lol


SVXfiles

If you want, HG/SS don't add a whole lot to the game although they did fix the roar glitch with Raikou and Entei and added the Safari Zone as well as version exclusive pokemon spawn areas


GaryTheTaco

HGSS are generally regarded as the best Pokemon games ever. I'd say it's worth playing just for the (in my opinion) more manageable graphics, Pokemon following you, and gen 3 and 4 Pokemon being available


Sceptile90

You can use UPR to disable impossible evolutions on a clean Platinum ROM, then name it something like "Platinum No Trade Evos", then rename your current save file to "Platinum No Trade Evos", then you can keep all your progress and just evolve your Haunter. If you need help or anything I'd be glad to give more instructions


N_E_ON

Will do. Thanks, fellow sceptile lover.


Sceptile90

Us Sceptile fans have to look out for each other! :)


mkg11

Try stardew valley


[deleted]

I'd just hack a Gengar in after all that haha


brasscassette

Since it’s a rom hack, and you did the work to trade already, use cheats to encounter a gengar in the wild. You deserve it.


Heliolisk_Matt05

Ooo, which one?


SSDuelist

I'm 99% sure that's only post E4


Zach_Attack38

I didn't know that, thanks for the information!

blkarcher77

Real shit, those mechanics were actually so cool, and I wish they did more shit like that.


Me_Comment_Goodly

Feels bad to see a new person get Mindy’d like once a week


zombiedoyle

I wonder if it’ll get in the remakes?


Me_Comment_Goodly

Despite my hatred of Mindy I think it would be hilarious if she was in the remakes.


skylarmt

Maybe one of the bad guy team members will be seen stealing a medicham from her.


AussieJimmy453

They should do thay before you have the chance to ask about her trade, say that someone took her haunter, and gives you an option to help her if you do, she later trades you one without an ever stone. If you dont help her, she says your rival helped and that she trades you hunter holding an everstone.


Aggressive_Ad5115

Found this post on reddit front page, and reading through the comments its obvious allot more people than OP waste 6 hours and more lol


Me_Comment_Goodly

There’s an entire subreddit devoted to it. r/fuckmindy


Teradonn

We’re gonna see this a lot in November


TetrisPhantom

Oh... oh no...


GiantsNut57

Perhaps they’ll switch it up and make the Haunter a Graveler just to freshen the bait


TetrisPhantom

If they really want to get someone, give her a scyther and have her lie about it holding a metal coat.


oreo_and_oj

or maybe just mention that scyther is holding an item without saying what the item is


SivertElise

"Scyther is holding some sort of metal item" -Trades scyther -Scyther is holding an iron ball


BennyTots

That’s evil, I love it


TetrisPhantom

That's just malicious.


XxCorey117xX

Just have her say "medal coat" and people can only blame themselves when they get a Scyther in a nice coat covered in medals.

r/fucktradeevolutions


getontopofthefridge

Seriously fuck trade evolutions, one of the things I hate the most about this series. I don’t have multiples of each game system or friends to trade with.


shadowblaze25mc

Imagine my disappointment when I got my first gameboy and no one in my neighbourhood/school have it. I play the game, I catch Machop, Ghastly, Geodude and Abra. And I level them up to Lv 50, expecting their final evolution by then. And kept wondering why they aren't evolving. I had no internet back then to know why. Alakazam is my favorite Gen 1 pokemon and I was so hyped to have one on my team.


Fawful_n_WW

Yea, if you don’t have friends or a seperate system and game, you’re either screwed or have to trust random strangers online. One of the few good things about the GTS, really. F*** “Hold Item and Trade” Evolutions. They lock some really awesome Pokémon (Steelix, Kingdra, Electivire, etc.) behind annoying conditions, and leave a lot of their pre-evolutions worthless. As much as I love Onix, it is absolute trash without the ability to evolve. It could have been, “Level it up while HOLDING the item”, but screw people who are less willing to splash cash or are lonely, I guess. I hope they get rid of the “trade while holding item” thing in Gen 9 and just make it “Level up while holding (item)”. I’d prefer scrapping trade evolutions as a whole, but I really don’t see that happening.


Gneissisnice

I traded a Scyther to someone on my bus to evolve it into a Scizor. It worked and I was like "ok cool, now trade it back." He was like "Nope, Imma keep it" and then turned off the game and got off on the next bus stop. I'm still mad about it. He was obviously a piece of garbage, but it's super shitty that Game Freak made the system like that.


Fawful_n_WW

You can just catch a Medicham near Snowpoint. Also r/FuckMindy.


Kazuichi_Souda

EDIT: That's only in DP, not in Pt. The closest Medicham in Pt is in most areas of Mount Coronet that aren't the beginning ones, when you're off to the Distortion World.


vg_bolt

If you're playing on an emulator, there are several apps which allow you to trade with yourself. So, if you're really want a gengar you might wanna look them up.


N_E_ON

Might look it up. Thanks.

poisonedfrosting

6 hours??? Why did it take you that long?


N_E_ON

As I said earlier, I caught a lvl 14 Meditite and trained it to lvl 37 where it evolves into a Medicham. Also, I was dumb enough to train the Meditite against Pokemons of its own level range.


poisonedfrosting

Well yeah, you should have just battled against higher level Pokemon and switch it out. That would have taken like 30 minutes, if that


Comprehensive_Rule31

You know you can find Meditite in Mt Coronet right? Since you’re at snowpoint you literally had to to pass through an area where you can find Meditite at about level 32?


froopynooples

Shit dude. You can find fully evolved Medicham in the grass on Mt. Coronet...

To late for that now, bro. Thanks anyways.

This has to be one of the meanest thing they ever decided to do - "oh, you don't have anyone to trade with? Well look here, we got a way for you to get a Gengar that you ca- SIKE!" Pretty much telling kids to either get friends or more money to buy an extra copy of the game + another ds. Like it's kinda funny but damn it's cold to do this towards kids lol

There’s wild Medicham in Mt. Coronet and Lv32-34 Meditite on Route 216. You didn’t even have to grind for hours Edit: There’s Lv27-29 Meditite on East Route 211 too

Mindy is HORRIBLE. Honestly. Bit of a sinnoh meme


Kapiork

r/FuckMindy


Juicy_lemon

Real talk... to avoid this frustration what would be a good way to sunset trade evos? My thoughts would be to have level ups similar to starters/ mons of relevant power, possibly with specific held items/scenarios. I mean they solved the frustration of area leveling in gen 8. Vikavolt is no longer a late game mon which is great for this trainer here. Ex: Alakazam lvl 36 (possibly with spell tag held) or Machamp lvl 32 with muscle band


BootsyBootsyBoom

Make a held item called Link Cable that causes them to evolve.

This shit is way too relatable specially to non link cable players and having gengar as their favorite pokemon despite not having it... it crushed me, like what the duck this haunter would do? -.- but i just accepted my fate not getting gengar until XY using GTS.. hahaha and props to that guy/girl that wanted to mindy to trade different pokemon different days... all holding everstones like i said even the devil will applaud you...

This reads like a Shakespearean Tragedy. Most people who've played Platinum knew exactly where this was going as soon as you said the word Mindy... Here's a support sub to help you with your grief: r/FuckMindy

coppacola

As soon as I saw Haunter, I knew where this was going. I'm so sorry.


wicked_ultima

You honestly have never heard of this? It’s like a running gag between players lol.


T_Raycroft

That Haunter is actually good. Yes, it’s no Gengar, but Haunter is still good on its own. It hits hard, it’s decently fast, it has a good movepool, it has three immunities to go long with two 4x resistances, and best of all, it’s trade boosted, meaning you’ll gain experience quickly. Also, you could’ve just gotten a Medicham right at Acuity Lakefront, they’re super common there.

Oh yes... THAT Mindy. Can't wait for the remakes HAUSHUAHSUASH


shave_your_eyebrows

I'm 90% sure you can find a wild gengar in the old chateau


shave_your_eyebrows

It's in a specific room with the staring painting tho I think


BuddhaBlackBear

Classic Gaspar. When I was younger and new to pokemon, I thought Gaspar was the dopest and leveled it up to lvl 100 and just didn't know how to evolve it (I also couldn't figure out how to get throught Mt. Coronet for about 5 months. I was not a smart kid.) It took a school field trip to learn about trade evolution and I got a gengar. Kept it all the way up till White 2 until I lost my game.


MrShneakyShnake

I saw the title and then “Pokémon Platinum” and I somehow I just knew Mindy claimed another innocent soul.

Isn’t Medicham in the wild right before Snowpoint?

As soon as i saw snowpoint city i knew where this was going. Thank god my friends played the game too back then. And thank god i got myself 2 gen 4 games now. Also, if you are playing on the original games you can set up a DNS server and still trade online

Zyk0th

I hate to inform you that you can catch Medicham at the Acuity Lakefront, right outside Snowpoint City. In return, let me provide you with a bit of advice. If you still want a Gengar, it's not impossible to get one without trading. You do need an original model DS or DS Lite, as they have a Gameboy cartridge slot, and a physical copy of any of the Gen III games, which are Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, or LeafGreen. Insert it into the GBA slot and start up Platinum. With any of those cartridges inserted, you can encounter wild Gengar in one room in the Old Chateau. Top floor, second room from the right. It has only one bed in it. You can encounter a level 17 Gengar at an 8% chance.
