those aren't all really shiny are they which method do you use? the whole idea of having them be rare or special is weird because we're always replacing one game with a remake with a new game with a new remake

which game do you store them all on and why? also mew is free on wifi in february get fukt

I bring all my pokemans with me every generation I play I move them up
the ones in the shiny boxes are shiny but few are legit, they are all stuffed in pokebank now, you have to to get the 750. it killed me how much work you could put into getting something and then the next game boom it's like freerange in the grass.
there was like wondertrade wed or whatever you would get so much cool stuff for people trying to be on this show, tons of fakes, but pretty.

I know the thread is a honey pot, but the game was fun.

I did because it's an easy way to get a Gyarados right off the bat instead of waiting until like the 3rd town to get the Old Rod.

:edit:

I actually just started a new Pokemon Yellow game on my modded OG XBOX. It loving owns bones playing Gen 1 Pokemon on a big screen LCD TV with a wireless controller. My party is Pikachu, Primeape, and Sandslash and I just finished the SS Anne and the 3rd gym.

Charmander - It was a loving dragon
Helix fossil - It sounded way cooler than dome fossil
Jolteon - Thought it looked the coolest
Hitmonlee - I thought it was stronger and preffered the look of it
Space shuttle was hella boring

I never knew how to play the game but I sure did buy a bunch of cards. I once spent $15 on a Chancey card cause a kid I didn't much care for more or less had every one but that. I rubbed it in his face and he got mad which made me feel good.

It doesn't matter what I pick as a starter because I always ditch it for a Nidoran male as soon as possible and then Nidoking my way through the rest of the game.

Hello there. I made this thread a while back but was criticized and called names for not having a poll. Now that I have the ability to make polls, I want to get some hard data on this.

When you were a kid did you choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle?

I chose Charmander nearly every time, but bulbasaur sometimes as well. I never used em much after I got my sandshrew and Abra. Level 100 kadabra ducked poo poo up.
Helix fossil because it always sounded cooler.
I never evolved eevee. I could never decide.
I never got the hitmo-species. Oops.
I did not.

Okay op there's your data. Now how much did you spend time at the game corner.

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK
I wasn't a kid and I played it mostly on breaks at work. I got Pokeymans Red at the same time I got Xenogears for the PS1.

I took Charmander because he is adorable. I don't really remember much else other than completing it and not buying another one till Sapphire on the GBA which I didn't like much. I guess it was just one of those games I liked once and that was it.

I got one of the Mystery Dungeon games but it didn't grab me much either.

So Charmander is cute but I don't really remember or care about the rest of it. I do recall making the dumb floppy fish turn into giant sea monster though.

Bulbasaur had the needless hybrid Grass/Poison rather than just Grass. Many added weaknesses for a very minor resistance.

Lol if you used anything but Psychic types, though.

I don't remember who I first picked because I was wayyy too young, but I remember on replays always getting Bulbasaur because it was strong against the first 3 bosses (grass took ˝ damage from electric or something)

Vaporeon, Dome Fossil, I don't remember the rest of the questions

Also I remember using the missing no glitch and cheating my way to a swole rear end slowbro

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

I chose Bulbasaur because I thought it was the sensible and conservative thing to do.

Charmander was for those wild and feckless people that just chose whatever looked cool. Oh look, FIRE and DRAGON.

And I don't know about Squirtle because I hardly ever used Water types. I think it had two guns its shell when it became blastoise so make of it what you will.

I don't remember the fossil.

I don't remember the evee

Hitmonlee because kicks are cooler than punches

I don't remember the space shuttle

It was a fun game though.

I chose bulbasaur because squirtle had a dumb name and I can't remember why I didn't choose charmander

I chose the dome fossil and never used the resulting Pokemon because it looked poo poo. And I didn't evolve my eevee into anything

I chose the dome fossil because I loved Kabutops's look.

I don't remember the space shuttle.

Bulbasaur is the best, that is why he is #1. He's also super good against the first 3 gyms!

The other correct choices are Omastar, Vaporeon, Hitmonlee.

Really though all the pros just get the Mr. Mime from the trade early on and do a solo run with that, fucker gets bonus xp and psychic is brokenly strong.

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
