Battle Subway Single Battle does'nt trigger

Submit a ticket, and if the dev do not respond, go to RA discrod, make an appeal with proofs (video) etc. Ask for manual unlocking.

I was wondering here, i have to wait a whole month in real life to change the seasons? I want to explore the Twist Mountain in Winter but i can't change from Autumn to winter.
MatheusBrazuca85 10 Dec 2020 17:15
Nevermind, found than i need to change to visit another place in game to change the seasons.

Lipe33 23 Jun 2021 14:29
idk if I need to issue a ticket for this since it spans multiple trophies, but I just got all 4 stadium achievements for deleting my save
Lipe33 23 Jun 2021 14:31
actually I'm just gonna reset my achievements since I didn't have any big ones
Zpeligo 17 Nov 2021 05:46
Don't pay attention to the marker. (a) I set this because of fixing purpose and it's only temporary.
Rarronak 12 Sep 2022 04:50
I finished the super double battle, but didn't get the achievement, I send a ticket but realized that the person who made this achievements isn't active since january, i've asked if is possible to manual unlock this one, do you guys know if another person can do that or it must be him?

I’m having some performance issues on Retroarch (Raspberry pi 4) with this game… It runs at like 5-20 fps with both the DeSmuME cores and with the MelonDS core. The other pokemon ds games run pretty choppy too… I tried on my pc too with the latest versions of Retroarch and the cores but it’s the same thing
The rom runs perfectly smooth on the base DeSmuME emulator.
Can someone please give me some tips on how to improve performance? It’s barely playable like this. I’ve been messing with the setting trying to fix it but with no luck
Digifiend 12 Feb 2023 22:17
Yeah, DeSmuME's core isn't great, it's like it's not optimised as well as the standalone emulator. MelonDS is better, but the core is outdated and there's a C-Gear related bug in all four generation 5 games which the stand alone emulator has fixed. You might want to just wait for the cores to be updated.
thunderaquadragon 12 Feb 2023 23:19
Thank you for the advice Digifiend! Hopefully they will be updated soon :)

Mastered! According to RetroArch, this took me 53:11:53 in real time (mostly sped up) and I finished with a final In-Game time of 67:15.

This set was a breath of fresh air compared to the horrors of the Platinum version set. It is still quite difficult, probably surpassing every main series Gen 1,2,3 except possibly Emerald version.

The first major roadblock to mastering this set is catching them all. There are 130 regional dex and 202 national dex Pokemon to catch. For whatever reason, you only need 201 national dex Pokemon for this set. I recommend using your master ball on Tornadus or Kyurem based on whether you want to deal with catching a roaming legendary legit. The rest of the Pokedex isn't too bad. There are some really annoying 5% rustling grass / whirlpool / whirlpool fishing encounters (Lapras and Politoed have Perish Song) so it may be worth saving your master ball for those instead. However, if you have caught them all in Gen 3/4 you should be prepared for this generation.

The second major roadblock is the Battle Subway. For whatever reason I expected it to be way easier than the Battle Frontier of Emerald / Platinum but I was very mistaken. The normal Battle Subway is a cakewalk, just beat 21 battles with unevolved Pokemon in a row. However, then you unlock the Super Battle Subway where the real challenge starts. You need to beat 49 battles in a row without losing once to reach the Subway Masters. You will be going up against mostly fully evolved Pokemon. Even legendaries appear as you get to the end. In my opinion, the super Battle Subway may be even harder than the Battle Tower of Gen 3/4, although I think I had a worse team in this game. Btw: you have to get this 49-battle streak in Single, Double, and Multi mode. Adding the normal subways, you need to beat 210 total battles for these achievements.

The rest is fairly typical. Your subway team should be able to get master rank in the Battle Institute.

Overall, very fun set.
