I had an idea of something many of us (even those with little time and/or shitty PCs) could do together and could be very fun. Start a Pokémon run together with other incels, preferably using the same version of the game and similar themes. So we get to discuss and post periodic screenshots of our progress here.
I'll nominate Pokémon Theta Emerald for it. That's the version they used when I participated of one of these collective runs on an imageboard and it was very fun. That version contains all Pokémon, moves, etc up to gen VI but within Pokémon Emerald, a gen III GBA game that should run even in the slowest PCs and laptops (my laptop can't run the newer games with 100% speed for example).
As for themes, I think a monotype run could be fun. Each user chooses or rolls for a type (random.org). That's what we did that time (I got the Ghost type).
If someone wants, he can plays another version or an individual theme he choses, there were some guys doing that at the other time as well. Just have fun boyos.
I won't put the links to the downloads here because I'm not sure if it's really allowed but it's super easy to find everything on Google. As for an emulator, use VBA if you want stability, No$gba if you want speed (fastest one by far but buggy, I use that one) and mGBA if you want balance.

We could begin as soon as there's enough people (assuming I won't be left alone to rot on my unsuccessful attempt of a new type of thread
).
Also, an edit: there are some bugs in Theta Emerald, but nothing serious enough to ruin it. The animations of the moves "draining kiss" and "electro ball", as well as "rock tomb" WHEN used by a Pokémon with the ability "sheer force" will freeze the game. To avoid that just disable to move animations, but it's mostly safe to enable it again at some point in the game because those moves are only really seen at the beginning since they're weak.
Also the item "assault vest" bugs the game, just don't buy it or try to steal it from an opponent's Pokémon with "thief" or "covet" (only in the Elite 4 there are some Pokémons with it as far as I know).
