The first time I ever played Red, the first Pokemon I encountered in the Virdian Forest was Pikachu, in the grass patch at the very entrance. For some reason, I thought they could only be caught there.

To this day, I still catch a Pikechu in that patch every time I plat.

>>278200871
I wish there'd been more cases like Pikachu. It was cool that it was fairly rare and took some time to get, but gave you a neat pokemon. For the most part areas didn't really have anything interesting. Being able to get an early fighting pokemon with mankey was cool too.

Back in the day you just sand attacked onyx till it couldn't hit the broad side of a barn then tackled it for the next 35 minutes.

See, but that's exactly how a fedora thinks. I'm guessing you angry scrunched up your trilby before typing that.

Normal human beings would just pick whatever looked coolest, which 99% of the time is the Fire starter.

Water is generally for the non-fedora nerds and women.

>>278201335
Gen 1 doesn't have genders.
No, you have a one in error chance to get a female starter at any given time, be it game start or during breeding.

>>278201335
No, they can be any gender, but starters have a low chance of being female so most of the time you'll get a male.

Gender in the first two gens is determined by the Attack IV. Any starter you get in Gen I could end up being female when traded to Gen II if its Attack IV is low enough, but again, starters have a low chance of being female.

>>278201335
They're more likely to share your gender, yes.

>>278200716
This man knows his shit.

>>278201335

Starters have a 12.5% of being female regardless of your trainer's gender.

Gen 1 didn't have genders (outside of Nidoran)

Because Special was so fucked. That's the only reason. Ember did so much damage on an Onyx and Geodude. Purely because of how special was fucked.

>>278201217

>edgy kid who thinks evil shit is cool and has a boner for lizards and dragons picks charmander, probably plays the game wearing a flame-decorated hawaiian shirt and jnco jeans

>>278202326
I think all gen 1 starter pokemon are neat and it doesn't matter what you picked because you're probably a nice guy.

I don't know about the rest of the gens because unlike you faggots I grew the fuck up and stopped playing literal commercial games aimed at 8 year olds holy shit you fucking faggots

That was generation 2

Another reason why gen 2 was the best gen

>>278203975
I don't put any stock into shinys anymore considering everyone and their grandma can get them in the new game

I found a copy of the game when I was still new to it at a friends house and they only had Charmander and Pidgey and were saved at the Gym entrance.

Felt so good beating Onyx with Pidgey with 1 HP remaining.

Gen 4 had Platinum and HGSS which are pretty much the best games in the series.

2 > 1 > 3 > who gives a shit.

>>278200871
But I had Pokemon Yellow.

Gen three kill the series for me. I don't know why, but I think maybe it has to do with no team rocket, asshole rival, and no kanto revisiting?

literally why? Just because it seemed "dated" when you first started with R/S doesn't mean it's bad.

Feraligator is still one of my favorite Pokemon overall, I'm partial to water types overall. But he had a shit move set. Samurott would have been great if he stayed bipedal, and his stats were better. Nigga had sword dance, x scissor, mega horn. If he had a good attack stat he would have been a beast.

>>278204430

Especially playing Silver and steamrolling the game with 3 starters.

>>278205406

Your family sounds like one collective hive mind if autism

>>278204716
Not him but in the first game, you got Gary Fucking Oak and his ego and being first at everything is what drives you to beat him in the finale. Gold and Silver had that red hair I name Faggot and he was a fucking cock. Eventually, we get to see him change and becoming more of a character that cares for his pokemon instead of seeing them as a tool.

In the 3rd gen, you got some wimpying green hair nobody that you hardly see in the game and that child in the first town that doesn't even act like your rival but your annoying friend.

>>278205516

Vensaur's a good pokemon but the people that picked him relatively knew how pokemon WORKED. If they picked Bulbasaur, it's probably based on the fact that he easily rapes the early game. Naturally these same children know how to teach Jolteon pin missile or whatever to handle Sabrina.

Don't try to lump in the rest of us with you stupid faggots who tried to use Ember on Brock.

Squirtle went off to go train with the Squirtle Squad. He still comes back occasionally but he's not a big player.

Bulbasaur is Ash's old faithful. Stuck with him all-throughout Johto and didn't leave on some gay-ass spirit quest or something. He's just at Oak's lab, being the guardian or ambassador of Ash's pokemon.

leaving out Kanto would mean cutting the game extremely short, a six-mon team barely hits lv40 when you reach the league. Even with Kanto GSC manages to be really short, when you beat Red a similar full team is maybe averaging lv55

If you chose Charmander, sure. Or you could just bubble your way to victory. Or if you wanted the easy mode pick Bulbasaur.

Truly, you lived like a king, anon. I'm genuinely jealous of that cool childhood. Please pass it on to your offspring

1. First you must catch all 150 Pokemon NOT I repeat NOT using GameShark.
2. Then you also must have Seventeen of your Pokemon over at Level 70 100.
3. Then when all of these tasks are complete, go to the guy in Pewter City who asks you if you have been to the Museum yet. Say NO so he takes you to the door.
4. Then go into the museum and go upstairs and talk to the Lady who says "I want My boyfriend to catch me a Pikachu!"
5. After you talk to her, immediatly come out of the door and once you come out of the door do not take any steps forward. left, or right. Immediatly use fly and go to Celedon City.
6. Go to the Safari zone and catch a Tuaros. Leave room in your pokemon slots. So only bring 5 when you go to catch him. Then put tuaros in your 1st slot.
7. Go into the Game Corner and talk to the Lady that says "Go Next Door to the Coin Exchange Corner to use your coins to get great Prizes!"
8. But this time she will say, "Hey? You have all the badges? WOW! Well then since you were nice enough to talk to me, I will give you this Pokemon I found stranded behind then Pokemon Museum, he is so strong I can not control him.But since you have all the badges, YOU TAKE HIM!
9. It will say, "You got ???????" Then when you try to use it it will just be like if you were pressing cancel and it will exit every time you click on it. Then go to Proffesor Oak and he will say the same thing he says when you give him Oaks Parcel, it will still say "YOU DELIVERED OAKS PARCEL!"
10. Then when you go into your pokemon line and it will replace the Pokemon in your first slot. So put a spearow or something in first. It will still be called ????? so go to the Nickname guy and change it to Pikablu. It has a ElectricWave, Psyshock, and Electrode...

Any of you all remember this? I honestly don't remember if it was Tips N' Tricks or Nintendo Power or one of the many gaming magazines that came out back in the day, but in 1999 as an April's Fools joke this was published. These fuckers stole so many hours or me and my bestfriend's lives.

I think you two are reading too deep into this.
But then again they did first appear in the Unova region, which is based off the U.S. so maybe you guys are on to something.

Thanks Gamewinners!

Why did Gen 5 have the best designs? Why did Gamefreak go back to making shit ugly Pokemon in Gen 6?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks to himself "I wonder if I could fuck this pokemon" when introduced to it for the first time. I have been doing this since R/S/E
