Yeah but then you have to look at Mr. Mime's horrible design for the entire game.

Like who the gently caress decided that a dumbass clown would be a cool thing kids would want

I never fielded a Mr. Mime and I never will. Mewtwo was my psychic lead and I spammed the poo poo out of him.

Yeah psychic was loving broken in the RBY games and Mewtwo was broken even by those standards

They literally introduced the Dark type and buffed Fighting just to combat the Psychic menace

Squirtle supremacy. Charmander kids were idiots and Bulbasaur kids were filthy casuals :colbert:

That said if I were to start up a new game right now I'd use Charmander because Red didn't give you any decent Fire-types until it was almost over (also because I'd be playing FR/LG rather than Gen1 proper and in that version Charmander gets Metal Claw)

Pokemon Blue was literally the only game I had for my Gameboy Color so you know I played it again and again as a kid. That said my first/main picks were Squirtle--bitch had guns!--as starter, Dome fossil, Jolteon, Hitmonchan I think, and space shuttles are dope especially if they have a bodycount.

Now if you were to ask me about Pokemon Silver..... Because I went about as hard as a 7 year old could with that one

Dude silver/gold was out of loving control. Day night cycles, rematches, a decent exp share
Breeding, etc

An entire region with new pokes and new gyms and when you beat it you get to go through gen 1 and steam roll it???

Then you can beat Red at the top of mount silver who had lv80 pokemon

Silver/gold was like a loving fever dream some kid at your school lied about "you get new Pokemon and new bikes and after you beat the game you can go BACK to the entire first generation and you can fight Ash" but it was all true

Gen 2 was magical poo poo.

the whole identity of 'im an old guy obsessed with my childhood and i only believe 151 pokemon exist to this day' just means they never had any bucks in their jorts when gen 2 came out, it really was just a direct continuation of the game with some new cool stuff, i think almost all of the additional pokemon were even designed by the same original dudes who didn't have 24/7 coke money yet either and still enjoyed the project

gen 3 however was really lovely in character and map design both, and if you like it or get nostalgic about it grats on being younger than me and living longer, idiots

Picked Bulbasaur because I wanted solar beam but never got far enough in because even as a kid I thought turn based RPGs were boring as gently caress. Never even made it to the dumb safari.

I'm still disappointed they haven't ever done that again. Gen 3 map sucked with way too much loving water features and I stubbornly refused to believe they didn't load gen 2 and gen 1 regions into the game until the bitter end. Gen 3 was game boy advance wasn't it??

yeh it was the first and only gen on the gba, which is sad because the gba loving owned but bad decisions don't, also the remakes of gold silver already sell for more than they did new, so the world knows we're right

no, if i remember correctly, they broke the poo poo out of the game beforehand to actually get the age-old trick to work, because AGDQ has poo poo like that. you literally write assembly code with Koopa shells and two controllers to beat Super Mario World in ~6 minutes.

I had a Kadabra that I used to take down the entire Sliph tower. In the end it was like 20 levels higher than my other pokemon, and none of my friends would battle me because of that. I was probably 18 at that time.

I played the original red on an emulator, and the emulated save didn't work. I didn't think anything of it and just used the emulator savestates, until I beat the elite four and realized that it needed to be able to load an emulated save or something to continue after the credits. I didn't have any emulator savestates from before I started fighting the elite four, and you can't save while you're in the gym fighting them. I couldn't even get mewtwo, it sucked

I researched it and read that Grass Pokemans were the best to start with so I picked Bulbasur even though I secretly hated him and always wished id picked Charmander cos he is a loving DRAGON that can shoot FIRE....Bulbasur was some mutant plant thing that can throw leaves.

Kadabra looked really cool but I never wanted to evolve it into Alakazam because Alakazam looked like poo poo

Haunter looked way better than Gengar too

I've always thought Bulbasaur is really dumb and looks stupid and anyone who picks Bulbasaur is an idiot

First Google image result for "venusaur":


What is this, this looks dumb. Who needs a flower dinosaur thing? Nobody.

Badass motherfucker, deal with it

Charizard is okay I guess, but he's just a pretty normal-looking dragon with a fiery tail. Instead here we have CANNON TURTLE

ITT people rationalize their inexplicable affection for a weird purple onion frog that eventually grows into a weird purple flower frog by projecting personality traits onto it even though it never speaks

e: every lame 5-year-old little sister who ever deleted a save-file to make a new one where they farted around Pallet Town for twenty minutes and then stopped playing forever picked Bulbasaur; every overcompensating dorky 7-year-old boy who ever threw a gameboy at a wall because they couldn't beat Brock picked Charmander
