You're welcome! :) Glad I could help you out with this :)
Same for me though, sometimes I'm even ashamed I'm Dutch to begin with .__. (no offense but for one example we have ridiculous lame music and TV shows... makes me want to throw it out of the window).
Anyway, Thanks! ^_^ And awesome you would like to have a NES too, I just got one a few
months ago and I can still play it :D By the way, if the battery runs out of your game, you could take it to a (Retro) Gameshop to let them fix that for you by replacing it with a new one :) I believe that the last website I sent you even takes care of this as well :) You just need to contact them!
English is not a problem at all, 90% of the time I can express myself way better in English than Dutch... ;) That's fine, I agree the Gen.6 games are somewhat easier, but still I have enough challenges to face in my Pokemon X game, so I'm not too bothered because of that :) I just started a new (and first) adventure on my Y game so I can try out some new teams :3
That Lucario (actually Riolu) was a very grateful encounter I can tell you that, I was actually looking for a Shiny Riolu in the wild at that moment ^_^ To have some shinies in Pokemon Crystal is awesome too! :D because the encounter rate was still 1/8192 for wild Pokemon (a lot harder to get them back then when it is now). Buuuuut when you get to the point of getting into Goldenrod City and your first visit to the Daycare, you'll get an egg that has a (guarantee) 50% chance of hatching into a shiny! :D You will have the chance of hatching the Egg into a Magby, Pichu, Smoochum, Elekid, Cleffa, Tyrogue and Igglybuff, but if you save before receiving it just keep going until you get a shiny :D (I actually got a shiny Pichu, Magby and Igglybuff once because of this, in different Save files ofcourse).
But good luck finding a NES, you can find these too on the websites I gave you ;)
