If an uncompiled instance of the source code of every game became public domain ~1 whole console cycle (like 8-10 years) after release then a lot of these preservation crises would not be an issue. Or some sort of pseudo-public domain idk I'm not a lawyer

Tbf losing the Pokewalker is kind of a you problem since it literally came with the game, on the other hand G4 Nat Dex REQUIRING Pal Park which only worked with the first two consoles in the DS family must have been a huge kick in the pants to anyone who made the reasonable choice of having a DSi

RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm not sure if I would count this as five games or not, but beating Dream Radar is way less of an obstacle than doing 80% of Emerald. Also imo DS/Lite req for Pal Park<3DS req for Dream Radar. Pokewalker comes with HGSS. So G5 Nat Dex is easier than G4 Nat Dex by a hair.
RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social) reply parent
The closest I can think of is B2W2+Dream Radar+HGSS+Platinum to have everything? HGSS covers the bulk, Plat covers Creation Trio and starters, B2W2 covers Unova stuff, Regis and Stunky/Glameow/Fossils, Dream Radar covers Forces of Nature. Notably, doesn't require a GBA in any capacity.
RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social) reply parent
It sounds like B2W2+HGSS ALMOST works with Dream Radar, if we're counting the DPPt extensions as freebies too, but that's not really in the spirit of it. And, even then you need a Sinnoh for the starters.

RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah it's the Regis again. If we count Dream Radar as a freebie, then it becomes WAY easier because while B2W2 lacks many mons that BW1 doesn't, it DOES have the main roadblocks - Glameow, Stunky, and the Regis.
RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah shoot, yeah, I mixed up the B2W2 Grotto Funfest Missions with the BW1 options
RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social) reply parent
I'll do research tomorrow and see if there's a combo for idk BW+SS+Plat or something fancy because HGSS DO let you get both legends in one game so it's really a matter of who has VEs that BW1 doesn't naturally have available
RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social) reply parent
Napkin math indicates you can roughly do Nat Dex with BW+HGSS, with Pokewalker HGSS get really close to Nat Dex on their own, BUT that leaves out the Creation Trio and Mystri Stage doesn't sound like fair play for this
RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social)
I should do the math at some point to figure out if there's a way to do G5 Nat Dex with fewer than 5 games because G4 Nat Dex is DP+HGSS+one of RSE but I think you can do G5 Nat Dex with BW+2 G4 games if you play your cards right but idk. Because of Thundurus/Tornadus you can't do B+W2 for this
RefinedPlat (@refinedplat.bsky.social) reply parent
Actually you only needed EVERY SINGLE MAINLINE GAME, but prior to Emerald you did need the GCN stuff for Nat Dex. It's worth noting that in G3, Ho-Oh and Lugia were de facto mythicals and not required for the dex
