>grinding

Forgot to mention I gave myself an extra challenge by not using any items during battle. Just one Pokemon with four moveslots.
Moveset was Wrap -> Body Slam / Bubblebeam -> Surf / Thunder Wave -> Thunderbolt / Ice Beam.

Mew, but your moveset must be Surf, Flash, Cut, Strength.

gen 1 is like the last game you need to grind in. I beat yellow's elite 4 with a team all around level 45.

>>33010328
What was the team?

>>33010328
Heh, I'm on a yellow playthrough with a 6 lvl 44 team and haven't even beat Giovanni so I guess I'm good.

>>33010366
Not him but I used Dodrio, Blastoise, Pikachu, and Nidoking to beat the game. They were all around 48 at the end.

I am currently playing through Red right now and I'm just having issues settling on six I want to use. I will probably just try to use Pokémon I haven't used before, but, that's kind of difficult considering I've used a fair bit of them before. Probably going to start with an Ekans and work my way around that for my final team.

If anyone wants to drop some suggestions, I'd love to hear them, just no type overlapping.

Porygon. Have fun in Game Corner :^)

i'm gonna play through it when the new 2ds comes out later this july

i played it from release on the vc and caught all 151, but my 3ds died in a fire, so now i'm here

i think i might catch 'em all again in anticipation for gold and silver

Doing my third playthrough of Yellow on 3DS, just beat Surge and my team this time's gonna be Pikachu, the starters, Nidoking, Primeape, and maybe Rhydon or Aerodactyl until I get Mewtwo.

>Sabrina - another hour of grind to level 45 to give me realistic chance of winning, still needed to exploit retarded AI and keep restarting to fish for freeze on Alakazam, which would probably be capable of twoshotting me with Psychic all the way to Dragonite evolution
But anon, Dratini gets Agility at lv20. Agility+Wrap *should* have won you the fight long before that level.

The last time I played gen1 was Virtual Console Red, I used a lot of different Pokemon so my average levels were pretty low all throughout.

So is there any use for Gengar in Gen 1? Got one through the Mew Glitch but there's so many drawbacks that I don't see the point.

WOW ANON UR SO GOOD AT POKEMAN

There's an aesthetic, feel, etc. to Gen I in art and atmosphere I really miss, but cannot describe it.

It's not "omg it's new" AKA the Pokemania, but something else about the Pokemon world itself future gens, especially past Gen II (which still had it of sorts) lost.

Is Dragon super effective against Dragon in Gen 1?

If we hacked Dragon Rage to have a Base Power instead of doing a set amount of damage, would it be super effective?

>>33013537
I doubt it.

>>33013535
Toriyama eyes?

>>33013794
Yes.

I'm doing the same kind of run in Yellow, only using guys I've never used before.
So far I've got Raticate, Venomoth, and Ponyta, all mons I've never used. I can honestly say Venomoth has been surprisingly powerful, but since you're avoiding Poison-types, try Kangaskhan for a Normal. He's one I plan to use.

Any anons wanna suggest me a Pokémon off this small list of the Gen 1 mons I have left to take for a spin?
