Do you remember the first team you ever made back in RBY? I recently threw this together to jog my memory
I couldn't tell you what I ate with confidence 3 days ago
Here are the only ones I know with confidence:
-Blastoise
-Butterfree
-Pidgeot
-Vaporeon
-Lapras
-?????
I obviously didn't care about type diversity back then. As for my last one, I have no fucking idea at all. It was probably a Water type, though.
Venusaur
Clefable
Pidgeot
Vaporeon
Ninetales
Snorlax
Might be inaccurate, but I'm pretty sure this is it.
>>26063438
Blue
>Venusaur
>Nidoqueen
>Butterfree
>Raichu
>Persian
>Flareon
Not terrible for a 5 year old? Maybe? I thought I was hilarious teaching Persian Thunderbolt and Nidoqueen Surf just to confuse people.
Silver
>Typhlosion
>Noctowl
>Ledian
>Togetic
>Espeon
>Lanturn
I liked keeping early game Pokémon?? I was 6 so I'll use that as an excuse. I only kept Togetic because I liked messing about with Metronome.
Charizard
Nidoking
Fearow
Jolteon
I dunno about the last two, I probably used Snorlax to push rocks like everybody else and Lapras for surfing.
I have absolutely no clue what I used for Flash though cause nothing in Red/Blue learned that damn move.
>>26063438
I'm fairly certain it looked like this
>>26063438
>>26063533
>>26063728
Vaporeon bros represent.
>>26063758
Probably Jolteon, didn't like every electric mon get flash?
I don't remember ever team I did with Blue, but I remember my first.
>Venusaur
>PIdgeot
>Ninetails
>Lapras
>Alakazam
>Gengar
Actually I do remember my second run. My friend and I figured out how trading worked.
>Venusaur
>Charizard
>Blastoise
>Raichu
>Gengar
>Pidgeot
But runs 3-42 are lost to time and space.
I remember all my non-remake teams.
Red: Machamp, Dodrio, Persian, Cloyster, Rhydon, Beedrill.
Blue: Snorlax, Fearow, Dugtrio, Victreebel, Poliwrath, Dragonite
Yellow: Pikachu, Blastoise, Venusaur, Arcanine, Raticate, Aerodactyl.
Gold: Feraligatr, Ampharos, Noctowl, Donphan, Houndoom, Granbull.
Crystal: Meganium, Scizor, Sneasel, Crobat, Kingdra, Girafarig.
Ruby:Sceptile, Aggron, Altaria, Dusclops, Exploud, Crawdaunt.
Emerald: Swampert, Metagross, Slaking, Shiftry, Salamence, Hariyama.
Diamond: Torterra, Luxray, Drifblim, Porygon-Z,Toxicroak, Bastiodon.
Platinum: Weavile, Electivire, Roserade, MIsmagius, Gliscor, Empoleon.
Black: Serperior, Scrafty, Chandelure, Cinccino, Seismitoad, Eelektross.
Black 2: Samurott, Lilligant, Volcarona, Jellicent, Galvantula, Mienshao.
X: Greninja, Noivern, Gogoat, Aegislash, Sylveon, Aurorus.
Y: Chesnaught, Tyrantrum, Talonflame, Malamar, Gourgeist, M-Mawile.
I think my team in Red went something like this:
>Charizard
>Dodrio
>Raichu
>Dugtrio
>Starmie
>Nidoking (Not sure about this one)
I know it definitely involved Blastoise and Ninetails. Nidoqueen, Pidgeot and Onix were all very, very likely on the team. The last spot was probably one of Omastar, Hitmonchan, Aerodactyl, Snorlax or Mewtwo.
>>26063821
You don't get Eevee until after Rock Tunnel.
>>26063438
>RBY
Venusaur, Pidgeot -->Aerodactyl, Hitmonlee, Kabutops, Snorlax, Magmar
Basically I assumed every given pokemon was superior to wilds.
>GSC
Meganium, Ariados, Noctowl, Ampharos, Red Gyarados, Some dark or ghost pokemon i forgot if it was Haunter or Misdreavus or Sneasel
I remember not doing great on this team because my only sweeper was Gyarados and I tried to think Ariados was good but holy shit it was so horrible against E4.
>RSE
Sceptile, Swellow, Hariyama, Milotic, Magcargo, Zigzagoon
First "Tryhard" team I attempted. Zigzagoon is so good as a HM bitch and Pickup was insanely useful.
>the rest
I forgot already
>>26063758
I used Raichu and probably Abra at one point.
Worst Yellow team reporting in:
Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, Vaporeon, Zapdos, Mewtwo
>>26064286
Where's your Pikachu bruv?
>>26063438
I forgot it long ago, maybe it was
Dragonair (probably never evolved it)
Aerodactyl
Blastoise
Flareon
Lapras
Victreebel
>Blastoise
>Articuno
>Zapdos
>Moltres
>HM Slave
>HM Slave
Im pretty sure the Blastoise had 4 Water moves as well.
Jolteon
Pikachu
Charizard
Blastoise
Venusaur
Krabby
I barely remember my Gen 5 team, let alone anything before that. It doesn't help my memory that I played most gens more than once.
Crystal: Typhlosion, just him (and HM slaves I guess)
Ruby: Sceptile, same deal
(I remember playing Emerald too, I think I picked Swampert thas time)
Diamond: I played it at least two times, and between them I've used Torterra, Staraptor, Luxray, Pikachu, Honchkrow, Rapidash, and I don't remember the rest.
Platinum: Roserade, Luxray, Togekiss, Flareon, Lucario, Milotic. First team I thought of first. I didn't realize the similarities with Cynthia's team until later
Soul Silver: Meganium, Ampharos, Crobat, Heracross, Flareon, Lapras. Yep, I picked Flareon twice, I'm kinda ashamed of it.
White: Serperior, Simipour->Swanna, Zoroark, Eelektross->Zekrom, Chandelure->Volcarona, Mienshao. At first I planned to include Braviary instead of Zoroark, but I found it was a late-game mon and I could do Zoroark's event with someone's help.
Y: Delphox, Florges, Hawlucha, Dragalge, Trevenant, Furfrou
Omega Ruby: Sceptile, Delcatty, Mawile, Manectric, Roserade, Camerupt, Altaria, Walrein, I was rotating them.
>>26063438
>Red
Blastoise, Mr. Mime, Haunter, Aerodactyl, Omastar and Voltorb. I had no idea what I was doing.
>Crystal
Just Chikorita because as soon as I picked the starter the cartridge froze.
>Sapphire
Exploud, Swalot, Sharpedo, Torkoal, Tropius and Glalie.
>Pearl
Empoleon, Roserade, Bronzong, Medicham, Spiritomb and Drapion. That Medicham carried me so fucking hard with Hi Jump Kick + 3 elemental punches that it would set the stage for later "brainless coverage" mons, as I like to put it.
>SoulSilver
Magmortar, Lanturn, Mamoswine, Scizor, Tangrowth and Togekiss. As you can tell already the Lanturn and Mamoswine were the new coverage guys. Scizor was a fucking joke one shotting everything with Swords Dance Technician Bullet Punch, and my Magmortar had fucking Thunderbolt despite having a Lanturn. I mostly attribute it to him being my hatcher though so he was a permanent stay.
>White
Emboar, Lilligant, Excadrill, Cofagrigus, Eelektross and Durant. Eelektross was such a fucking bitch to evolve man. First form is so fucking shitty and then you have to nab a Thunder Stone at Shopping Mall 9. Was worth it in the end I guess...
>X
Greninja, Florges, Aegislash, Malamar, Barbaracle and Hawlucha. My most disappointing team ever. Everyone except Aegislash and Hawlucha failed to meet my expectations, and even then Hawlucha just became a slave near the end with Fly, Strength and Rock Smash. Simply atrocious.
Yellow: Pikachu, Charizard, Venasaur, Blastoise, Venomoth, Sandslash
Crystal: Typhlosion, Beedrill, Togetic, Ursaring,Electabuzz, Gyrados
Ruby: Swampert
Fire Red: Blastoise, Arcanine, Golem, Alakazam, Pidgeot, Raichu
Emerald: Swampert, Breloom, Torkoal, Glalie, Swellow, Manectric
Diamond: Empoleon, Staraptor, Lucario, Luxray, Rapidash, Roserade
Platinum: Infernape, Magnezone, Staraptor, Scizor, Umbreon, Floatzel
Soul Silver: Meganium, Noctowl, Ninetales, Politoad, Tyranitar, Ampharos
Heart Gold: Feraligatr, Arcanine, Crobat, Ampharos, Espeon, Tauros
White: Samurott, Braviary, Leavanny, Darmanitan, Haxorus, Zoroark
Black: Samurott, Whimsicott, Mienshao, Excadrill, Unfezant, Darmanitan
Black 2: Samurott, Arcanine, Lucario, Jolteon, Unfezant, Roserade
X: Greninja, Gogoat, Pyroar, Sylveon, Tyrantrum, Gengar
Y: Chesnaught, Blaziken, Blastoise, Alakazam, Vivillion, Heliolisk
OR: Swampert, Torkoal, Breloom, Manectric, Altaria, Armaldo
never played RBY, but apparently I accidentally did a speedrunning strat in Leafgreen, because I soloed that whole game with a Nidoking that I evolved from Nidorino at level 16.
>first W2 run: Emboar, Magnezone, Unfezant, Seismitoad, ?, ?
>first Gen 6 run: Chesnaught, Blastoise, Talonflame, Florges, Aegislash, Noivern
All I can remember.
Behold, my first red team. Charizard was overleveled as shit, followed by Rapidash who just fire spinned everything to death.
It got to the point where none of my friends would battle me because of Rapidash. Agility + Fire Spin was so broken.
Fire types were teh coolest (or, teh HOTTEST lelelelele), but I needed Gyarados for surfing and Pidgeot for flying. Also Raichu was cooler than Pikachu. And I had the best team ever.
FIRST first starter was Torchic but I didn't know was saving was, so an hour into my 9th birthday, I just got Mudkip instead.
So Swamper, Pelipper, Roselia, Aggron, Cradily? Diamond for sure was Empoleon, Staraptor, and Luxray. Nowadays, I do no-starter gen-only runs.
>>26065037
I do gen only runs, and I'm trying to do a no starter run of HG. My team so far is planned to be:
Houndoom, Scizor, Noctowl, Furret
I'm stuck between Kingdra or Slowking. And the six spot would go to either Donphan, Tyrannitar or Mismagius (since she evolves from a johto mon)
Any ideas?
Yellow: Raichu (traded, evolved and traded back), Charizard, Ivysaur, Wartortle, Pidgeot, Oddish. Never made it to Saffron, because I didn't know how to get there.
Silver: Typhlosion, Scyther, Sudowoodo, Umbreon, Tentacruel, Skarmory. (I'm not sure how accurate these are it was a long time ago since I last played silver.)
Sapphire: Blaziken, Swellow, Armaldo, Walrein, Kyogre, Linoone
Emerald: Blaziken, Swellow, Aggron, Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre (They were high leveled so I thought that they must've been the best)
Firered: Charizard, Pidgeot, Zapdos, Mewtwo, 2 random HM slaves
Diamond: Torterra, Empoleon, Dialga, Staraptor, Floatzel, Weavile.
Platinum: Torterra, Staraptor, Floatzel, Pikachu (couldn't find a thunderstone) Weavile, Gliscor
Soulsilver: Typhlosion, Pidgeot, Umbreon, Red Gyarados, Tyranitar, Lapras
White: Serperior, Unfezant, Krookodile, Carracosta, Haxorus, Hydreigon
White 2: Serperior, Scolipede, Cincinno, Cofagrigus, Klinklang, Jellicent
X: Chesnaught, Charizard, Aegislash, Heliolisk, Malamar, Goodra
Alpha Sapphire: Blaziken, Ludicolo, Skarmory, Flygon, Glalie, Lopunny
>>26063736
Expanding it since everyone else did, first team per gen/remake -
Ruby
>Swampert
>Gardevoir
>Mawile
>Altaria
>Absol
>Manectric
Got more adventurous with types here. I also had a team of 5 for contests.
Firered
>Venusaur
>Arcanine
>Alakazam
>Dragonite
>Vileplume
>Lapras
Wanted Leafgreen, got Firered instead... two grass types here but I really wanted to use Vileplume for once. Used Tauros too.
Pearl
>Empoleon
>Staraptor
>Luxray
>Lopunny
>Floatzel
>Drifblim
Two water types again just because I like them. I had a Carnivine too for a while but dropped it.
Heartgold
>Typhlosion
>Furret
>Ampharos
>Azumarill
>Jumpluff (shiny)
>Xatu
All except the Jumpluff are a recreation of a Silver playthrough I was doing before the battery died. I was pretty far in to the game too... I used the Jumpluff because it was shiny.
Black
>Serperior
>Stoutland
>Cincinno
>Mienshao
>Chandelure
>Musharna
I trained practically everything I caught but these were the 6 I liked best. Liepard was dropped almost immediately as a massive disappointment.
X
>Delphox
>Goodra
>Gogoat
>Florges
>Aegislash
>Aurorus
Again just what I liked out of what I trained. I wouldn't normally go for something like Aegislash but I gave it a chance anyway.
Omega Ruby
>Swampert
>Mightyena
>Breloom
>Grumpig
>Banette
>Flygon
Basically just Gen III stuff I never really used previously. Illumise and Plusle/Minun were in there at one point but I didn't like them as well.
>>26063438
I didn't play RBY but FRLG were my first pokemon games. I can't remember my exact team but I remember I used
>Charizard
>Raichu
>Gyarados
>Lapras
>Pidgeot
>Butterfree
>Hitmonlee
>Nidoking
>Tauros
>Snorlax
at varying points. I just can't remember what exactly my E4-beating team was.
>>26064890
expanding on this, in order of when I played the games
>Pearl
I played through the main story many times. I usually had an Infernape, Luxray, and Lucario, although I recall that the Lucario was usuallybvery behind in levels.
>Leafgreen
Soloed with a Nidoking.
>Emerald
I abandoned my starter pretty much as soon as I got a Shroomish. I had a Breloom, Flygon, Sableye, and Absol for most of the game, and took an Azumarill that I'd left in the daycare for 30 levels out for the E4. I never ended up beating this one.
>Platinum
same as Pearl, except I also used a Mamoswine and Porygon-Z. I remember that Lucario ended up replacing Infernape by the end.
>SS
Red Gyarados and Extremespeed Dratini carried me through most of the game.
>White
Scolipede, Serperior, and Sawsbuck. I tried making Serperior into dual screen support, but I gave up on that after the 4th or 5th gym.
>X
Tyrantrum, M-Mawile, Vaporeon, and Talonflame. Definitely my 2nd favorite game.
I haven't finished Black 2 or Alpha Sapphire yet. I do own them though.
