Well yeah but ingame you could have a Tentacool spamming Surf beat the Elite 4, it's not like the game was hard unless you went into Smogon-style tryhard competitive battling

My cousin is twelve and he asked for a Pokemon video game for Christmas. After he opened it, I told him this was the last year I was buying him any Pokemon stuff.

Please explain you reasoning. 1) Bulbasaur, cause he's the cutest. 2) Helix, because Omanite is cuter than Kabuto. 3) Vaporeon, cause she's the prettiest. 4) Hitmonchan because elemental punches. 5) Yeah, it made me emotional.

Oh here is a retarded story for you guys: Okay several years ago I found my old toaster gameboy and it still had the Blue cartridge in it, so I loaded it up and took a spin around the Pokeworld and I was looking through my boxes of caught pokemons... and I came upon what was apparently a loving ingenious plan to a much younger me about battle strategies. I found out that I had an entire box in the Pokecomputer that was full up with like ten rattattas and one ninetails, and all of them were named Cooby. And I was confused as heck about what all these Coobys were possibly for. Then I very very vaguely remembered this weird plan I had as a kid where I was like, going to fake out all my competitors at school with all these weak rattatta Coobys and they would be lulled into a false sense of security by the Coobys, but then I was going to pull out this high level ninetails who was ALSO named Cooby and was going to totally own them because they were going to be so surprised by the one chosen Cooby.

I remember my "best friend' convinced me to trade my holographic Blastoise card for a 1st edition Machamp. Then I got home and realized most Machamp cards are first edition and I got royally hosed. We are no longer friends to this day. Also: Water puts out fire Fire burns leaves Grass Pokemon suck Blastoise for life.

The stupidest poo poo in those games is the whole HM thing. Like that's cool that they let you gradually let you unlock the map with moves you had to get in certain ways but making them moves that you had to teach your Pokemon and then they could never be forgotten was mindbogglingly dumb. Yeah, sure I want to drag an otherwise useless Pokemon around just so I can cut down a stupid tree or see in a cave.

Charmander Helix/Omanyte Hitmonlee No Charmander Pikachu Jigglypuff Abra Dugtrio There's the lineup for the whole game. Once you get Kadabra, trade him to evolve him, and teach him Thunder Punch and Ice Punch. From there, and after Dugtrio owns Lt. Surge, give him literally all the experience and he'll one shot everything in the game. Kids games don't stand up to even the most basic meta-gaming.

The only thing that matters is almost all the strengths and weaknesses are intuitive so when newer games or whatever try to pull some dumb poo poo like ice is actually strong against fire they can get hosed
