Yeah, I went and failed Y. 8 deaths between the second and third gyms. I'm starting all six of my games over, if I may. I got crushed pretty bad, but I intend to come back stronger. EDIT 9/7: wiped again, so I'm trying this fo New, constantly updating teams box: Crystal: Ruby...

It does suck that there's no skill whatsoever involved in solving it, but it's not the hardest thing in the world, since your odds of choosing the right second switch never fall below 25%.

My Eeveelution always matches the version I'm playing - Vaporeon for Blue, Jolteon for Yellow, Flareon for Red.

Venusaur and Charizard both look awful. Imagine playing through the game for the first time and finally evolving your starters to their final stage... only to be greeted with those things.

Clair's probably the most consistent challenging fight, but her whole tantrum after the fact just makes me want to shove her in the lava. I'd probably go with Giovanni, since you get somewhat more satisfaction from beating him, him being the boss of Team Rocket and all.

I like Hitmonlee, but I hate using Jump Kick and Hi Jump Kick on anything.

Clay can be a huge bother even if you have Dewott, that's ho tough he is. Lenora, you can pretty much neutralize with a good Fighting type, but Clay will most always be a challenge.

Gotta go with Dialga. It looks cool as hell, it's got great typing, and it controls time. That is all.

Phoebe might be the only Elite Four member who gets owned by a Route 1 catch (Mightyena). And Sydney goes down hard to Fighting types, but it's still a decent Elite Four. Sheer Cold Walrein is something to watch out for.

If you wanna add a Gastly to your team, I'd recommend using it to replace Abra, since they're pretty similar though. To be honest though, if you have no way of trading with someone else, you can find better alternatives to Abra, Machop, Gastly and Geodude, since you can't fully evolve any of...

Oh gosh, that's tough. Chikorita's the cutest, and I usually choose it in Colosseum, but it's not all that useful. If we're talking Gen II, I'd probably go with Typhlosion due to it's access to Fire and ThunderPunch.

My favourite has always been Bulbasaur. Grass-types are my jam.

In 2003, I would have been 7 years old. I remember naming my first Sapphire team after Muppets.

If I'm playing Sapphire, there's three good Surfers available pretty much immediately in Mudkip, Wingull and Lotad. Sometimes I use all three at the same time, because none of them share any common weaknesses.

I haven't played through them in a long time, but I remember them being pretty good. If nothing else, they're a decent opportunity to find some Johto Pokemon, and they have the FRLG version of the Daycare and Battle Tower, so they're always worth checking out.
