I remember taking hours to find the right entrance to the Whirl Islands on Silver...and I still don't know how ten years later. XD

Zizi March 30th, 2010 1:45 PM

I remember yellow was the first Pokemon game I ever played and it was my brothers - everytime I played it I wasn't allowed to save because it would wipe his save game... then I remember when I was given my own gameboy and Pokemon yellow.. very happy days =D

My greatest memory was in silver having Typhlosion the only pokemon i ever used, and beat the entire elite 4 with just him, i felt so awesome! That was like the first time I ever heard about pokemon.

Koratah April 4th, 2010 5:53 AM

RBY-

I was afraid of everything. Especially the ghosts in Lavender Town.. everything about Lavender town scared me. The elite four scared me. Mewtwo scared me. Caves scared me... Team Rocket scared me, etc lol.

GSC:

I FREAKED OUT when I found that patch with the smeargle in it! That was pure luck lol.. I can't find it in HGSS. D:
Catching Suicune with like, 1000 fast balls. :>
Beating Whitney. UGH STUPID MILTANK WITH ROLLOUT

Best one was that I thought the "L" that you see in battle that represents level was a "1", so I thought I had an lvl 117 Girafarig, and was devastated when my game stopped working... xDDD

Silver was my first game, and I remember how excited I was to go on my first ever Pokemon journey (like the anime except not quite) with my Cyndaquil. I remember how I would put all my effort into training Cyndaquil and only captured other Pokemon just so I could have a party of six Pokemon. They all ended up being like level 10+ so they were pretty useless later on. If my Cyndaquil (later Typhlosion) happened to lost to a gym leader, it would usually do a lot of damage and I would switch out to another Pokemon until the leader's Pokemon fainted. And then my low leveled Pokemon would grow like 5+ levels after one battle. Haha.

And I remember how I was completely stumped on how to reach Morty in the Ecruteak Gym. I even talked to the trainers in the gym, but what they said didn't make sense. I then just tried different ways to get across until I eventually got it. That was so frustrating at the time.

As stupid as it sounds now, I thought I was the greatest trainer on the planet to have level 100 legends. I thought my team could beat anyone. It destroyed my ego when I finally had Internet and bragged about my team on a Pokemon forum, only to be told by older players that my team was full of ubers. So every time I see people brag about their team and it's made up of mostly legends, it reminds me of that embarrassing moment when I was younger. : P

Gold, I never finished, but I started it because I didn't want to restart my Silver game. I had a lot of hours dedicated to that game as well as a lot of level 100s and I didn't want all that hard work to go to waste. However, I never finished Gold after all that. I remember encountering my first shiny (besides Gyarados) and it was Geodude. I was pretty much indifferent to it, but I still captured it and I never used it. The game file was deleted, so I never had a chance to trade it over to my more active games when I later discovered how rare it was. XD

Then I bought used cartridges of R/B/Y and played Red while following this book I bought from Scholastic Book Orders. It was like a story based on the entire gameplay of Pokemon Red almost like a walkthrough except it was a story and the writer listed his nicknames for his Pokemon. I even named my Pokemon the same as his (and caught the same Pokemon he caught). Still, my Charmander (or Charmer was his name) was my strongest Pokemon like Cyndaquil was in my other game.

Wow, that basically my exact story.

WKnite April 5th, 2010 8:22 AM

I remember the OFFICIAL GUIDE that came with my Pokemon Red said there were Tauros in the grass on Cycling Road and I remember I killed like twenty AA batteries looking for a Tauros

LilacArcanine April 5th, 2010 8:59 AM

Staying up till 2am beating the Johto!Elite Four and then beating Brock and Misty... ah memories :D

Not to mention I remember my Gold cart smelled AWESOME :D Ahhhh... shame I lost it years ago :(

Oh yeah, my Togepi was pretty redundant as back then I didn't believe in non-attacking moves. I just use to pump up my starter (more often than not Cyndaquil) to lv. 100 while the rest of my party were lv. 2 Pidgeys or whatever :D

Oh yeah, anticipating the release for months beforehand was fun :D

El Héroe Oscuro April 5th, 2010 11:53 AM

Remember that bridge near Misty's gym where you were asked if you wanted to join Team Rocket? I ALWAYS WANTED TO JOIN THEM!!! The game wouldn't let me though... ._."

chillxd April 5th, 2010 12:08 PM

Boo! And I wanted to catch the "ghost" of Pokemon tower in Lavender! But I can't... And no one probably caught it. ._.

WKnite April 5th, 2010 12:27 PM

I remember not knowing the legendary dogs (plz dont flame my chosen name of them) traveled and running into Entei, who to this day is my favorite legendary, and him running away and being like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and looking in that grass for like 2 days before giving up

Andrew1989 April 6th, 2010 5:47 AM

Blue: I don't know how it happened (probably a glitch or some odd event that'll never happen again), but when I was going through Rock Tunnel, I encountered a level 7 Staryu!! Don't believe me? Yeah, I'd probably say it was a lie as well... but I really did see one and I happened to capture it as well.

Gold: Defeating the Elite Four for the first time. I know it sounded stupid, but I was young back then and I was having real difficulty trying to defeat them with my current team. I remember my brother loaning me his level 70+ Seaking and me crusing through it. I nearly died as well since Seaking ran out of PP and I had to use "Struggle" on Lance's Pokemons to defeat them. I think Seaking was left with a few HP before I managed to take down his Aerodaytcal using Struggle.

billios April 7th, 2010 6:58 PM

i remember getting pokemon yellow off my older brother and playing for the first time. all i remember from that day is getting it off my brother and pressing down instead of A when oak was talking(darn those misleading arrows!).

i stoped playing after crystal April 8th, 2010 6:40 PM

i remember getting pokemon yellow, played it nonstop, and got it taken away everynight because i wouldent go to sleep.

The Original Darkwiz787 April 12th, 2010 1:43 PM

I remember my level 100 Typhlosion, and my next highest being a level 11 prevolution of Quagmire (Oh noes I am forgetting Pokemon names!)

Pebblycone April 14th, 2010 6:16 PM

One of my first times playing my Pokemon Yellow Version game.
I was quite young, so yerrr.
I really loved my Pikachu and I probs only had about 2 other pokemon, who I never ended up leveling up.
I got up to about the 4th or 5th Gym with my Pikachu at a really good level and these 2 other Lvl 7 pokemon.
I realised it was a mistake, so I started again :3

salot April 15th, 2010 8:23 AM

zefith April 15th, 2010 1:16 PM

I remember being five playing pokemon blue on my brothers gameboy owning every pokemon with his mewtwo, altho i had no idea what iwas doing, but it was fun

dragonite trainer April 18th, 2010 2:45 PM

I remember Pokemon crystal, Having to replace the save battery, playing pokemon for the first time, my cyndaquil being a girl, finding raikou and entei on the way to olivine within 6 minutes of each other, finding a level 40 dragonair in dragon's den, discovering that lance was the champion, having a level 70 typhlosion while fighting clair, using the cloning glitch for the first time, finding the red gyrados, seeing a blue- eyed beedrill, and being wasted by red's snorlax, and, of course,getting my sudowoodo.

Mongo April 24th, 2010 5:32 PM

Catching a Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest at my grandmother's house on Christmas. I received Pokemon Yellow earlier that day. Pidgeot was basically the only Pokemon I used in that game, and was my first level 100. Still have him on my Gold cartridge somewhere. To this day Pidgeot is my favorite Pokemon.

HaloSonic April 24th, 2010 5:45 PM

RBY: catching a Level 242 Rapidash, catching Mewtwo with my cousin, beating Gary as champion of the first time, a more recent one is catching a mew. this one was unique in that there are 2 ways which i caught mew. the first was with a gameshark, we only had the general encounter code, but no pokemon codes. so i ask my younger brother to put in a random number. he puts in 15, and voila! Mew! also, Catching it semi-legal via the mew glitch was cool too... and i must be the only person in the world to have run from a mew.
GSC:Playing as a Girl in crystal (strangely),catching a Pikachu after searching all over Johto for one, beating Red, and hearing of all the fake cheat code and glitches thrown around by me and my friends. also, related to the mew glitch, i traded my mew to crystal (and fretting all the way that it might corrupt my data) and seeng the closest thing to a legal event pokemon on a crystal.

well, the last time i played crystal on cartridge, Pidgeot was my strongest Pokemon by far in comparison to the rest of my team. since then, pretty much every team i have has a Pidgeot in it when i can get it in, and ive played a lot of games since then.

Replaying Crystal a couple of years ago and the Egg the day-care couple gave me hatched into a SHINY Cleffa. (:
