anyone ever play Pokemon over the internet, through emulation?
Just curious is all, I know it's possible, but didn't know if there was a community or even website that does that. I'd like to know if you do, or know anywhere that does. Just seems more fun to be able to battle and or trade.
Well maybe, but I meant just like if you play gen three on an emulator, are there like meetups for the Pokemon to trade and battle, I'm sure people chest all the time but was just curious.
Some emulators support the “game link” function, but I’m not sure if it works over internet or if it’s restricted to your local network. There’s of course third party software to connect you and another over the internet and act like a local network.
If you are looking for only the battling aspect, Pokemon Showdown is the way to do it. Basically all competitive play (Singles mainly, but VGC doubles exists there too) happens there. They have many tiers for older gens if that's what you are wanting to play.
