Is that a JoJo meme?!

Just pick up a Pokemon game and play it.

>>33037707
Is that basically It?

Step 1: First you must

start with gen 1 games. red, blue, yellow, fire red or leaf green. your choice
also maybe watch original anime series (at least the first pokemon movie)

>>33037674
First you must choose a pokemon you want to fuck.
It should all work out from there.

>>33037733

So far so cute. I love this but I really want that route 1 mouse

>>33037841
How does it look like?

>>33037867
its a bug made of circles with a horn on its head. i think you can find it earliest on route 2, which is not far from route 1

also be sure to nickname your mons for personal attachment purposes

lucky sevens all day, bby

>>33037867
not to bombard you with suggestions but you'll soon reach a place called Viridian Forest. If you search the grass there for a while you might encounter a Pikachu. Good luck anon

>>33037804
You have to go through lavender tower, nor haunted
>>33037841
I wish he was telling the truth about the drill

>>33038161
of course you have go through it. it's just haunted

Op, if youre for real, use the Pokemon you think look cool, its also ok to ditch your starter, and learn about type advantages through experience rather than looking it up, that way you will have an authentic pokemon experience, also, catch em all

>>33037674
Learn and memorize the type chart.

>>33037764
Remember, there's a 5% chance to find a pikachu in viridian forest

>>33038201
Nah, best way to learn is to play.

OP if you get a caterpie it turns into a useful earlygame pokemon.

>>33037713
Yes

If you're playing Red, a couple quality of life tips.

A Mechanic not taught to you in the game is STAB. S.T.A.B. stands for Same Type Attack Bonus/Boost. If you use a move that's the same type as your pokemon, it's 1.5 times as powerful. Essentially, if you see something and don't know for sure what it's type is, just use a move that's the same type as whatever pokemon you're using. You should be able to get by if you do so. (This'll also help with the fist gym[boss in RPG terms] in Charmander's case)

During this game, in RPG terms, every type of item, from key item to useless junk, is held in your bag and it holds 20 max. If you know there's something in your bag you're not going to use in the near future,(e.g. Town Map that you're not going to check what Route you're on with) put it in the computer in the pokemon centers. It fills up fast.

While the game encourages catching them all(don't try to do that on your first go around), not every pokemon is created equal, especially in the very first game. There's some pokemon that don't learn many moves compared to others, or just a bunch of weak ones. If by chance you get one of these, remember that you can always swap in someone else on your team if something isn't working out.

Some of the sprites in this game are, well, suspect... In most cases, just google images something and it will look more normal than what the game's limited graphics portrays.

Lastly, some RNG stuff does happen, but you'll be all right. Red can be tough at times, especially with Charmander, but even so, you'll pull through.

Finally, if you finish and enjoy, play Gold, Silver, or Crystal next. There are many new mechanics and pokemon and we've had them gradually introduced over 20+ years. Jumping ahead and potenitally having all of that thrown at you may be overwhelming, but your mileage may vary.

>maybe watch original anime series
Worst advices ever.

>>33038621
Every normie ever likes gen 1 mons.

>>33038645
FRLG aren't gen 1 is what he was saying. Generations are ordered by release and new features, and only new gens get Pokémon so far at the start of a gen. A lot of people mistakenly group the gens by region rather than release, but that would be like saying the GBA was a gen 4 console despite being released in the 6th gen of game consoles just because its power and graphical quality is similar to an SNES - wrong, in other words.

>>33037674
Get a Jolteon. He's pretty reliable. He's also a fast boi.
Btw, make sure to talk to everyone. You never know what you could learn from somebody.
