Sad, but true. (One reason why I prefer the older stat system.) As long as you keep it slightly overleveled and away from anything with Earthquake (sans, possibly, Gyarados), though, Light Ball Pikachu should be fine.


Gyarados is cool. Great design, great backstory, and great stats, especially in Gen 1--It had a solid Base 100 Special back then, so it could use its large Special movepool effectively and be a strong mixed attacker. Surf/Ice Beam/Thunderbolt/Body Slam is a favorite Gen 1 moveset of mine.


Oh, now, I see. Well, as I said, the last one is the main reason I got Blue; never cared for Ekans or Koffing.


Considering that the Champion is at L65, I'd say that is underleveled. I'd never fight the E4 without being, at least, L60, first.

And, that brings me to another thing Yellow beats RB at--Victory Road. Grinding for the E4 is a nightmare in RB, as the cave is full of level 20-something Zubat/Machop/Geodude that give next-to-no experience. In Yellow, everything is mid 30s or higher, and the middle forms are somewhat more common.


Yeah, I remember that. (They'd also all be holding trophies if traded over to GSC.) You couldn't nickname any of them, however, which was a bummer.


Hmm, that could be something interesting for a hacker to explore. (Of course, the Yellow Missingno is much more dangerous than the one from RB, which just duplicates your items.)


Yeah, I'm known for being opinionated. ;)

That, I won't disagree with. The starter Pikachu was, more or less, a novelty Pokémon, and like most novelty Pokémon, its usefulness wore off around L25-30. Of course, this is something that a remake could fix.


That never bothered me. Nobody's making you train all of them (or any of them, for that matter), and they did make easier to complete the Pokédex (especially in GSC). Myself, I only ever trained Charmander (I like flying on Charizard) and occasionally, Bulbasaur; I much preferred Starmie/Vaporeon/Lapras/Gyarados as my Water type to Blastoise.


What do you mean by "not being able to access Team Rocket's Pokémon"?

I agree on Koga and Sabrina being overleveled in Yellow (my ideal remake would nerf them and diversify their teams), but not Blaine and Giovanni. They were underleveled in RB, IMO, especially Giovanni. There was a 5-6 level gap between him and Lorelei in RB, while in Yellow, it was only 1-2 levels, as an 8th Gym Leader should be.


LOL. ^_^ That's because Yellow fixed most of RB's many glitches. (Not the Mew Glitch, though, luckily.)


I got Blue because I read it was the only one that had Meowth/Persian (my favorite Pokémon at the time). Red is the only one I never owned (or even played), and that's because I got Gold later that year (which filled the gaps between Blue and Yellow, while still being a new game).

I know this is a hack, but have you heard of the Pokémon Red Gen 2 Graphics Patch? It replaces the ugly sprites (as well as the ugly outdoor tilesets) from the original RB with the nicer, full-color ones from GS. Although the patch says "Red," it will work on either Red or Blue.

Well, some if it may have to do with perspective. Looking at your profile, you started with Blue, while I started with Yellow. I later got Blue (never got Red, though), but Yellow was the one I mostly played, so I instantly recognized Erika, Koga, and Red's teams from Yellow when I first played Gold.

(Plus, Yellow makes a better companion to the Gen 2 games, gameplay-wise, anyways. All of the Gen 1 exclusives--the Starters, the Birds, Omanyte/Kabuto, Mewtwo, and Mew--can be found there without resetting/trading (save for one of the fossils), and the Light Ball and TwistedSpoon can *only* be obtained from that game. Just with Yellow, Gold, and Silver, you have a complete Pokédex for both Gens 1 and 2.)

I never owned Crystal, myself, and like you I regret it (especially since it was the first game I could play as my own gender). I was beginning to drift apart from the franchise at the time (a combination of puberty and my disappointment with the Johto anime), so Crystal never caught my eye as much as it should've. Shame, too, since it was a much more "complete" game, story-wise, than GS.

Well I don't make the avatars, they're pics I tend to find on sites like DeviantArt most of the time. But thanks! And yeah, Scolipede and Hydreigon are my two favorites from Unova (well the latter is arguably second at least, but former is #1 for me).

Fair enough~

Mmmkay then...I'll admit I can't remember what it was about. So much has happened these last few months. If I can help I shall, though :3

They are, although I technically haven't used a girl from an anime yet; only video games. But eh, same difference...there is a Disgaea anime anyway. xD;

You're quite welcome :3 Feel free to contact me whenever, aha. /useless at starting convos but alright at carrying them on

So much salt here: http://smashboards.com/threads/smash-4-social-thread-3-0.366060/page-1749#post-18148598

What ahw omg for real? :P That's nice! ^_^

Idk your name and avatar are so cool!!! Haha am I weird?

Hey I love you! XD how have you been?

Oooh well, here you have it then ;) Maybe there is a cute Houndoom or Mega Houndoom dream world picture :3!

Those are the Pokemon Dreamworld sprites/pics : 3 aren't they cute? ^3^

Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary!

You bet I did. I was expecting Shulk just like everyone else, but just like February's Nintendo Direct, where everyone expected Diddy + Dixie rather than Little Mac, we got a Lucina + Robin trailer.

I try to post nice things. It's better than posting things like "hey dumb***". LOL

I've also been trying out some breeding lately. I might have to open a shop or provide merchandise for someone. LOL Been trying a slightly complex Sneasel one, but not too bad (no HA, no 6IV, no requested nature). I made a stupid mistake in marking a male and ended up with no 31 coverage in Speed; the error means I had to train an extra Sneasel to get the move I wanted in the level-up moveset. Once that problem was solved, I got tired. I'll try for 5IV breeds again in the morning. LOL

For some reason, it's the only thing that notifies me. I guess I left it on for some reason. Don't know what reason, honestly. :P

LOL, I got the e-mail alert right away.

can i plz add you

From that logic, aren't the trainers you play as in every Pokémon game self-insert Gary Stu/Mary Sue versions of yourself?
