Not many, I tell you. Before reading this forum and having the idea to do a solo game with just one Pokémon (which I eventually did with Blastoise, and even then after the first run through the game t was only at Level 88), I'd reached the dizzy heights of Level 89 with my first serious game of...

Anyone noticed it's ALL positive feedback on this thread?! :P It's always been great to have healing points outside of cities...and now the routes are longer, it definitely benefits having Doctors and Nurses...as for caves, with the new EXP format you become so much more interested in training...

It was decent, but not particularly brilliant. The only great things about it were the music in some areas (particularly the Champion battle music!) and a few other things like being able to see how much more EXP you needed to level up without having to go into the profiles (like you had to...

One problem there: Unfezant can't learn Acrobatics. I used Unfezant in my team...it's a very patient one to raise because of its low Special Attack, you do struggle to use moves other than Quick Attack...but once you have the ability to teach it Aerial Ace and Fly, it really is quite the...

Red/Blue/Yellow - Machamp Gold/Silver - Feraligatr and Ampharos Crystal - Feraligatr Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald - Swellow and Manectric FireRed/LeafGreen - Raichu and Pidgeot Diamond/Pearl/Platinum - Staraptor and Luxray HeartGold/LeafGreen - Ampharos, Victreebel, Arcanine and Poliwrath (with my...

Hi guys, I'm in the middle of raising a Fraxure on Black and couldn't help begin to compare it to when I was training my Gible/Gabite/Garchomp on Platinum...its stats are surprisingly similar! Great Attack, sluggish Special Attack (which doesn't matter too much as the moves they learn are...

I too have rarely used non-evolution Pokémon, but not for any specific reason. I've just always gone along the basis that you'd need evolution to keep the stats at an acceptable height. I've only ever used a few...Dunsparce when I played Gold, who was my Attacking powerhouse with moves such as...

The only things I'd noticed regarding EXP changes were: 1) Low level Pokémon give you a bit less EXP (in previous games you got at least over 10 EXP for a level 2 Pokémon; now it's not even 10 in most cases!) 2) If more than one Pokémon participated in a battle, if any are a lower level they...

First of all, I'm back on here - not been on for a couple of years but really need to start posting regularly on here... I was thinking about this earlier and immediately came on here. Feel free to add to my comments; they'll surely have been included previously on this thread. But here I go...

Typhlosion is ALWAYS in my squad for Crystal. It never used to be, but since you could get Poliwag at the start of the game, I don't start with Totodile on Crystal. I normally also get a Bellsprout, so that's my Fire Water Grass logic sorted. I'd normally also pack a Gastly as well, as they...

Agreed. So download the ROMs if you don't own Red, Blue or Yellow - then stop whinging and do your talking on the game! :P Man or mouse? ;)

I'll post more detail later when I have a bit more free time, but this is just an update. I've got the Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle and am hanging on to them for possible HM slaves; Bulbasaur will definitely be having Cut, and Squirtle will definitely be having Surf. Charmander, I MIGHT...

OK here we go: You can't have any fighting types at the start of Red or Blue, so I chose to use Yellow so I can open my account with Mankey. Pikachu was only used to defeat Gary at the start; since then and from now on Pikachu will just accompany me as a HM Slave (Flash). Yes I know you can go...

Without water, I take it you'd be allowed to have a Water-type (or someone like Rhydon or the Nido 3rd stage evos) in order to Surf? I'll pick Fighting, if that's OK? My first participation in a forum event, can't wait. I'll naturally use Yellow so I can choose Mankey and play the game with him.

Any IV deficiencies you'll make up for with other stats for sure! My Piplup also lacked Speed, but when I started again without saving, although I did get a Piplup with better Speed, its HP was pants, and I prefer HP over Speed in general. In general, I'm more of an offensive player, so as...
