I managed to squeeze some Game Boy gaming in there when I bought my GBC in 1999. I had pretty much beaten Blue ('cept for the E4), by the time I got Yellow and Red for Christmas that year. Though I didn't fully beat any of them until late 2000 when I borrowed a high-level Pokemon from my cousin.

Misheard Whisper December 31st, 2009 11:40 PM

Happy New Year, PC! And as promised, I'm posting here, now, and leaving. I wish you all the best of luck for the New Year!

k bai. This is my last post. Remember it well. /lolno

Feign December 31st, 2009 11:41 PM

haha XD

I think in both red/blue and diamond/platinum, I beat the elite 4 first time through, mostly by coincidence and overuse of potions and such.

I haven't played Pokemon in a while though, right now I've been playing Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.

Zet January 1st, 2010 12:10 AM

I've been meaning to try out spirit tracks but I haven't had the time since I've been broke :P

and enjoy this pokemon comic strip

Yu_&_Rei January 1st, 2010 12:19 AM

Zet January 1st, 2010 12:22 AM

Haha, don't worry, even I forgot about resolutions. I guess mine would be for 2010 to be more eventful than 2009

ÇyänïdëÉX January 1st, 2010 12:24 AM

May you live in interesting times, then.

moon January 1st, 2010 12:34 AM

Oh noes. This new thread got 5 pages without me touching it XD

Good resolutions, the one above. Mine are to lose some weight, not to eat candy, do better in school, listen to myself more and take care of myself more. Weei :D

Feign January 1st, 2010 12:34 AM

Lol, I chose Bulbasaur initially. And God knows why, but I decided to name it "Coolboy" (yeah... idk...).

My original team was something like:

Venasaur
Mew
Zapdos
Vileplum
Gengar
Hypno or Arcanine (or neither; can't remember)

I played the game again, before I got Diamond, and went with a sort of dragonic team.

Something like:

Charizard
Dragonite
Aerodactyl
Onix
Seadra
Gyrados

Wit Diamond/Platinum though, I got my dragon team this time around too, and even it presented a challenge when facing Cynthia, as most of her Pokemon were good against mine, or at least had moves for it.

I think the team was like:

Kingdra
Flygon
Dragonite
Aerodactyl
Charizard
Garchomp

donavannj January 1st, 2010 12:36 AM

In one of my playthroughs of Yellow, I named them all after hip-hop artists that were big at the time. :(

moon January 1st, 2010 12:36 AM

My Yellow team always looked the same. Pikachu, Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Hypno/Kadabra, Primeape/Machoke.

Lol Don XD

Feign January 1st, 2010 12:40 AM

Hmmm I might have used Machamp in place of the last two... I think I chose it because it could be spelt as part of my name. Not that "Machamp" is in my name but rather, seperating "ma" and "champ". XD

Bay January 1st, 2010 12:40 AM

Heh, for my Diamond team I have all of my Pokemon named after characters from my fanfic. XD; If I remember correctly:

Golduck (Timmy)
Luxray (Jacob)
Gastrodon (Jenny)
Steelix(Brenda)
Chatot (Bunny)
Infernape (Lucas)

I think I'll do the same when I get HG/SS. XD

Red✪Star January 1st, 2010 12:41 AM

I don't nickname my pokemon, I ruin them all. :)

That's still better than what I used to do when playing Gold and Silver; with a few exceptions, I simply named the Pokémon I caught after either gym leaders who used those species or Digimon that they supposedly resembled. The only notable exception to that naming convention that I still remember right now was that I named Voltorbs and Electrodes after Tsar Bomba.

donavannj January 1st, 2010 12:43 AM

The most common nicknames I gave Pokemon in Gen 1 were SmartiePsy and PokeKing (Kadabra and Nidoking). I didn't have anyone to trade with regularly at the time. :(

Zet January 1st, 2010 12:48 AM

I rarely nickname my pokemon, I never really found the point if I wasn't going to trade them or anything :(

Feign January 1st, 2010 12:50 AM

Lol... Yeah I was lucky enough to have had a gameboy (regular old fat one) and a gameboy colour, so with red and blue, I was able to complete it, and get a little certificate from the developer in teh building.

I suppose I could finish off the same for Platinum, but that would take a while. XD

I do miss the good ol' days of gameboy though.

Also if anyone had or knew: The gameboy camera came out before pokemon (at least in North America), and you could unlock sort of photo/extras acheivements by taking a certain amount of pictures, or printing a certain amount, or trading a certain amount. Needless to say, about 5 of the stamps were Venasaur, Blastoise, Charizard, Mew and Pikachu (if I remember correctly)...

donavannj January 1st, 2010 12:50 AM

I nicknamed them just in case I caught multiples. That and I liked nicknaming them. I tended to come up with some literal names. And some weird ones. Like I nicknamed a Snorlax "BeamSleepy" once.

Zet January 1st, 2010 12:56 AM

I never really got two of the same pokemon, unless it was for evolution purposes and if they were stronger and can be used for the E4 XD

Caelus January 1st, 2010 12:58 AM

I didn't really start nicknaming my Pokemon until my current run in Diamond.
In that I mostly named them after a word that fitted them.


Oh, and late, but Happy New Year's to everyone.

I usually forgot if I already had a certain Pokemon or not. XD;

Guillermo January 1st, 2010 1:26 AM

GOD DAMMIT.

I never nickname Pokemon. Unless I'm doing a playthrough of naming my friends after them.
