Hey guys, first post here. Looks like a cool community, I think I'll be sticking around.
Anyways, I've been playing shoddy battle to battle Gen IV pokemon competitively, because I don't really want to buy a ds when pokemon platinum (and hg & ss when they come out) is the only game I'm going to be getting for it. Just seems like a bit of a waste of money. Shoddy was nice at first, but I wanted a bit more substance, as shoddy is really just a stripped down version of pokemon with no animation whatsoever.
So then I had the idea that I might be able to d/l an emulator and play pokemon platinum competitively, using shoddy only for testing purposes. The problem is, I don't know if I can connect to others games through the computer. I've heard from some people that it's possible, but they really aren't any sort of authority on the subject so I thought I'd bring the issue to people who know what they're talking about.
Is there any emulator I can use to connect to the internet while playing a pokemon platinum ROM and trade with and play against others either on their own computer/emulator or on their ds? I searched the forums before my account was approved and I found a few threads saying no, but then I noticed they were from two years ago and strides must surely have been made since then.
So what's the verdict? Thanks to all who can help out! =D
