When you first batteld Red in G/S/C
 
Wasn't it a pain? I thought he would have stupid junk like Golbat or something, then a Lvl 81 Pikachu comes up and pwns you, I finally took it out with 3 guys down, and it got pwned by my Golem, then comes Blastoise, and ofcourse, trucks him. Then I sent out my Lugia(Hell yeah), took out most of his guys before Espeon came out, then I killed it with like 10 HP left?

I was stupid not to bring anything but Pokeballs.

His Pikachu was slaughtered by my Tyranitar (Thank God) and his others were downed by an assortment of my amazingtastical team. It took like, 15 minutes though! I actually thought that the battle was inside mount Silver the first time I played cause it was all dark, and then I played HeartGold, and I was like WTF??

-Cygnus- February 6th, 2011 7:51 PM

I really wish other gens would do the lvl 80+ thing final battle. I vaugely remember that 0_0 WTF!!! feeling when Red's level 81 is first at bat... But I was such an uber- spammer back then :P Lugia is still probably my favorite legendary.

Now his Snorlax... Anyone remember that ungodly strong tank? Lol

It can go die. Seriously. I hate that thing.

In response to the OP, it took me a lifetime to level up my team enough before it was anywhere near ready to battle Red. The first time I tried to battle him I failed majorly, I got destroyed due to my team being about 20 levels below his.

I wish the E4/Champion on GSC had been 10 levels higher, would make levelling up so much easier and offer more of a challenge.

Sydian February 7th, 2011 8:55 AM

When I first fought Red on Silver, I wondered why my team of low level 50 Pokemon was able to cut him up like butter.

Shukumei February 7th, 2011 9:33 AM

I just played my type advantages and mopped up. It was actually kinda disappointing.

Mute608 February 7th, 2011 12:41 PM

I had a high leveled Snorlax and a very high leveled Feraligator (like level 95?) It was actually pretty easy to take him down with just these two.

DarkNecroWolf February 7th, 2011 1:04 PM

Lol, I beat him with my Feraligatr (Lvl 100) And my Lugia (Level 97

YellowFTW February 7th, 2011 1:10 PM

I remember just decimating him with my Lugia and Meganium. XD

pokefan41 February 7th, 2011 1:28 PM

I had a real hard time beating Red. Took me three tries with Pokemon at around level 60s-70s to beat him. The tank of a Snorlax was my defeat twice, and I didn't even figure out that fighting would be the best bet with it. Finally beat him after struggling forever with him.

MarioManH February 7th, 2011 3:23 PM

I found it funny that the only move Charizard ever used was Flamethrower, they could have gave him a better moveset and make it so hes more smart with type advantages, stat raising, etc. Like really I fought Venasaur, It used SolarBeam without using SunnyDay first.

Purple Materia February 8th, 2011 7:58 AM

I've never beaten him, sadly. I should probably give it another go with my Crystal party, but I might get slaughtered again. x_x I don't know how people can say he's easy. Maybe it's because I'm not a very good trainer. :/ I use my type-advantages all the time, I use items, and I tend to fight strategically, but I still end up losing. Maybe this'll be the day I actually beat him. It has been seven years since my last battle with him...

Meganium February 8th, 2011 9:35 AM

When I first faced Red in Pokemon Silver, my level 50-and-under team got creamed easily by his level 81 Pikachu (even Lugia didn't cut it!). So, after a few days of training my party, I was able to beat his team, (his Pikachu, Espeon, Charizard, etc), with my L70 Lanturn being the last one standing. Man, what a battle.

mikey February 8th, 2011 12:42 PM

My first battle with Red in my Silver was epic. My Pokemon were under leveled, but we pulled through :'D

Chris_king February 8th, 2011 12:55 PM

When i first played him i did not know he was even in the game and i had played the game for over 80hours and had strong team and beat him fairly easy was pretty gutted that i could not play him again to train pokemon D:

Lord Varion February 8th, 2011 1:43 PM

Red: ... ... ...
Me thinks: (So ur not gonna do an-- oh gawd its a battle)
:L Was so funny

Underlevelling makes for the best battles imo. If you have a super-strong team, almost all the battles (in any game) become too easy. One of my current playthroughs I have them underlevelled so bad, but it actually makes fighting the E4... Fun. Go figure lol

This thread makes me wish that the Silver that I first fought Red on didn't die :(

MarioManH February 8th, 2011 3:15 PM

A little off topic but - I think the sprites looked better on reds team in Crystal then HG/SS, and i got pissed how they replaced eevee, they just added another tank to piss you off. When I find my GB:SP Charger im going to play Crystal for the heck of it.

blue February 8th, 2011 6:14 PM

I think I've actually only battled Red once, in Pokémon Crystal, I attempted but failed, I focused on the more in-game plot and storyline based things, I do plan to get a good team togerher and battle him on SS however.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ February 9th, 2011 8:30 AM

Well, I saw him send out Pikachu first, I wondered, "Oh, great, is he gonna follow up with a Lv76 Metapod or a Lv83 Magikarp or something retarded like that?"

Snorlax was a bit of a pain to take down, but other than that with Pokemon in the 65-70 range he was cake.

Sadly with Snorlax gone in HG/SS, so was his one somewhat challenging Pokemon.

Binary February 9th, 2011 8:39 AM

It took me a couple of rematches before I took him down. I managed to beat him with Misdreavus as my last pokemon. I don't remember the entire battle log, but it was an epic battle on my Pokemon Gold. :3

Snorlax is in HG/SS, just without Rest, which made him the irritation he was in the first place. It's Espeon that didn't return.

Anyway, I remember never having trouble with Pikachu (thank you Venasaur, Golduck and Feraligatr, my only strong Pokemon and two of them were from Red, because I was a noob who only raised one Pokemon back then), just everything else, particularly Snorlax with his stupid Rest. Took me a long time to defeat Red, but it was seriously something when I did.

The greatest Pokemon moment in my life so far.

XDragonRiderX February 9th, 2011 7:52 PM

...... It was hard. My 1st time playing Crystal, i almost got sweeped. I think it was my Typhlosion VS his Charizard. My Lanturn Paralyzed it, got Parahaxed, and I won.

Enigma February 9th, 2011 7:55 PM

The first time I found him when I was younger, I would be that person that would always train their starter and nothing else. So naturally, my Typhlosion was very high in level, probably like 70 or 80 something. With just Typhlosion, I took down his entire team. Although, that did take me a few tries.

Del February 10th, 2011 11:15 AM

Really good speech dude! I remember on 2002 when I meet Red! I just kick his ass :D
