NSC Can't Manip a Pidgey
6 years ago

I'm on BGB trying to manip the Pidgey on Route 2 but whenever I try and do it I always manip a Rattata instead, please help!

Did you go to the Mart before it? Did you try to resave and then try again?

I got 8 Pokeballs at the mart and I save as soon as i enter route 2 but i still manip a Rattata.

You need to save at the exact spot as in the video and walk the exact same path. Also it is important to stand still and then hit start to save (not buffering the menu). Just try to replicate everything the exact same as shown as in the videos. Otherwise try and save again.

if im not mistaken BGB isnt allowed for runs even in NSC? May as well get the right allowed emu and the bios image sat up and practice on that. Also, I think a lot of people underestimate how hard learning the manips can be. The videos make it look easy and other runners pull it off, but it really does take practice to hit manips even once, and then you start practicing for consistency

So I've switched to Gambatte which helped me stop manipulating a Rattata, I am going to practice more now but I was wondering I always pick up the Potion before the manip spot, does picking it up not allow me to do the manip?

No, the potion does not influence that. Good to hear it worked :)
