Pokémon Yellow was the first game I played so Pikachu was my starter Pokémon. I think I have a Blue version though and I think my starter there was Bulbasaur. I love the sprites by the way.

Username: CloysterOyster
Partner: Bulbasaur
Favorite generation 1 Pokémon: That's a hard one. I would say Eevee because of its ability to evolve into 8 different Pokémon.
Why I chose to join this club: Nostalgia of the first generation Pokémon
Current topic: because a Grass-type like Bulbasaur helped me get through the first 3 gyms with ease (Rock from Brock, Water from Misty and Electric from Lt. Surge).

nvm, don't need it. It's not important.

Well, not really. Firered and Leafgreen are technically third generation games, since that was the generation in which they were made, and they include all third generation Pokemon, even though a lot of them aren't even catch-able in-game. However, even if they had been first generation games, it wouldn't really matter, since the club is about the Pokemon, not the games :p

Your username: Olli97
Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Pidgey!
Why did you choose to join this club?: Despite the second generation games being my favourites, I've always liked the Pokemon of the first generation the best, since they were the originals and all, the first ones I ever got to know, and the first generation of Pokemon is the only one where I can name every single Pokemon and their typing in order with certainty :p This is probably mainly due to the fact that my combined playtime of both my Blue version and my Leafgreen version, I've played the games taking place in Kanto just a tad bit more, and thus, I am just a tad bit more familiar with the first generation Pokemon.

Why did you choose your current partner Pokemon?

Pidgey is my favourite Pokemon of all, mainly because it was the first Pokemon I ever caught and fully raised, excluding my starter. However, I honestly preferred Pidgey over my starter, because Pidgey was a Pokemon I actually had to catch, thus actually putting challenge into it, rather than just being handed the Pokemon. And to add on that, Pidgeys were actually actually tougher in R/B/G/Y than they were in the remakes, starting with Gust, which, even though it was a Normal type move back then, was just a bit stronger than what we usually see on Pidgeys today :p But yeah, I always really liked Pidgey, and when I got one in the second generation games as well, my bond with it just grew stronger (/corny). I was kinda upset when it wasn't in the third generation games, but oh well. For every day, I've just become more and more obsessed with it, and it's pretty easy to say, that it's definitely my favourite Pokemon, hence why I chose it as my partner Pokemon (and will continue to do so in any club in which I can choose it as a partner Pokemon :D)

Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Charmander
Why did you choose to join this club?: Pokemon Red was my first ever Pokemon game to play, and I have played it many times since. I know the first gen games like the back of my hands!
Why did you choose your current favorite Pokemon?: I chose Charmander because I absolutely love fire types and Charmander also poses as a challenge to journey through the Kanto region, seeing that the first two gyms are Rock (which is Fire is not very effective towards, unless in FR/LG where Charmander learns Quick Claw, I think it's called) and Water (which is super effective against fire types). But once Charmander evolves into a Charizard is a tank, battling through any opponent it comes face to face with. c:

Bulbasaur definitely made the start of the games pretty easy, just because the gym leaders weren't really challenging when you could just spam Vine Whip, Razor Leaf, w/e, and be done with the battles relatively quickly.

Eevee is also definitely an interesting Pokemon, and its concept is pretty awesome.

Ah yeah, Charmander was definitely not the easiest one to start off with, however I seem to recall beating Brock relatively easily back in my Blue version, simply by spamming Ember. I guess my Charmander must've had good Special Attack, or I'd just trained it a lot more than I remember :p But the challenge was most likely there because Charmander would grow to be such an OP Pokemon, there had to be some obstacles in the way of getting one. Back in my early days I actually thought Grass types were weak against Rock types, so I didn't use Bulbasaur till much later on, always either Squirtle or Charmander. Also, I think the move you're looking for is Metal Claw, a Steel type move, which is super effective against Rock types. I guess it was given to Charmander to give it more of a fair chance against Brock :p

Lmao, i think we I first started, I didnt really train in the begining, which is why Brock was always a challenge for me. Charmander was also my first starter so I think I'll always have a soft spot for it and it's family tree. Charizard is well worth the wait! He is very OP, but none the less an amazing Pokemon. One time when I was playing through Blue version, Misty was so hard for me to defeat that I had raised my Charmander to a Charizard before even defeating her! Ah, memories. Yes, thanks, the move is metal claw! I couldnt quite remember it lol. I also love how Charizard can learn fly in FR/LG, not too sure if he can in 1st gen, though..hm.

Ah, I see, that would make Brock a bit hard if you chose Charmander and didn't catch something like a Mankey to help you with :p But yeah, I totally agree, Charizard is definitely worth the pain that is leveling up your Charmander in those horrible conditions :p But wow, raising your Charmander to a Charizard before even beating Misty. Must've taken a heck of a long time D:

Which starter Pokemon is your favourite, and why? (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle).

Eh, I'd probably have to say Bulbasaur, since that's pretty much the one I've chosen in my past 5 playthroughs or so. And the only reason for this really, is because it makes the start of the games so much easier, as I mentioned in my last post. I wouldn't really call any of the three my favourite, because they've never really stood out to me or anything, but after using Bulbasaur so many times, I've just grown fond of it, and would consider it a bit above the other two. Charmander used to be my favourite however, just because of how cool I thought Charizard was :p

Mew June 17th, 2013 12:45 PM

Who here likes Eevee? Not my favorite, but still one of the best!

Oh, I love Eevee. Alot of people evolve it to make it more powerful but Eevee has a few moves that could make it strong all on its own like Take Down for example. 5 generations and a 6th on the way and we have 8 Eeveelutions now. Can't wait for more.

Mew June 17th, 2013 2:25 PM

Soon there'll be, like, 13-15 Eeveelutions!

There'll be an Eeveelution for every type, which will make 18 different Eeveelutions including the new type, Fairy.

mudkipbubbles June 17th, 2013 3:02 PM

I enjoy using Eevee a lot! All the different choices of types is wonderful to have - it's like making your own custom Pokemon, in a way. My favorite Eeveeloution would have to be Espeon c:

FayAurora June 17th, 2013 7:32 PM

I hope you don't mind if I join. I would have joined sooner, but I couldn't decide on a Pokemon >///<

Your username: FayAurora
Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Ummmmmmmmm...... Hardest decision of my life! Um, I'll go with.... Dragonair!!!
Why did you choose to join this club?: Because I absolutely love the original 151 Pokemon! There isn't a single one I hate!
Answer one of the topics (Which starter Pokemon is your favourite, and why?): Another hard question! Well, I love them all, but I always chose Charmander ^-^ He was always my favorite, since he was a Fire-Type (slight pyro here :P )

CloysterOyster June 18th, 2013 4:10 AM

I got to thinking of that episode the other day where Hypno hypnotized all those kids and Misty was barking like a Seel.

I wish Porygon and its evolutions were in the anime, seems empty without them but I understand why they're not and it tanks. :/

Mew June 18th, 2013 9:56 AM

Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Mewtwo

Why did you choose to join this club?: Because Gen 1 is where it all began, for me and for Pokemon!

Why did you choose your current favorite Pokemon?: Mewtwo is a Pokemon who was born as a laboratory experiment, who would come to be used at the behest of a tyrannical psychopath. Mewtwo was made to fight at the command of his Master, who he believed to be an ally, but who really manipulated Mewtwo's vulnerabilities. When Mewtwo finally had enough, he flew coop and made plans to destroy the world. But upon meeting some kids and Pokemon who showed him the other side of humanity, he decided to learn and grow beyond his rage, instead of stewing in it. He became a better being, even if he didn't change completely overnight. That's why I love Mewtwo.

RoreyG June 18th, 2013 6:40 PM

Your username: RoreyG

Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Charizard

Why did you choose to join this club?: I grew up knowing these creatures. Pokemon was a big part of my childhood and when I look back at Gen 1, I have fond memories of a time where life was simpler and I was a lot happier then than I am now.


Current Topic:


What Pokémon did you see most prominently in your Pokémon Gen 1 play through? Do you like this Pokémon?


Rattata, Zubat, Tentacool. Raticate can be a very powerful Pokemon early on but outlives its usefulness later on in the game when better, stronger Pokemon becomes available. I appreciated Zubat a lot more in the 2nd Generation where it evolves into an extremely good Pokemon (Crobat), however, in Gen 1 where Crobat had not existed, it seems more annoying than useful. Tentacool I find equally as annoying. However, Tentacruel can make useful partners at times.

Your favourite Gen 1 Pokemon: This is a very hard question. I'd say Ninetales.
Why did you choose to join this club?: Because Gen I has some of the best Pokemon.

What Pokémon did you see most prominently in your Pokémon Gen 1 play through? Do you like this Pokémon?
I don't remember my whole team but I had Bulbasaur with me all the time (finally evolved into a Venusaur) and I evolved my Eevee into a Jolteon.

FayAurora June 18th, 2013 8:05 PM

Wow! Seems like the club is kind of exploding! (Or at least becoming a little more well-known :P )
Anyways, I just felt like answering the new topic: What Pokémon did you see most prominently in your Pokémon Gen 1 play through? Do you like this Pokémon?
Well, every step in caves was zubat battle after zubat battle, unless I was lucky enough to have a repel on me. I haven't played Gold or Silver in a while, ever since my poor internal batteries died, but from what I remember, I surprisingly ran into quite a few growlithes on one of them at the very beggining! But it was only when I didn't have any darn Pokeballs, and about after the third gym, I went back to try and catch some, but they were gone like the wind!! But it was still a fun game, all in all :)

Puppeteer Mask June 19th, 2013 12:20 PM

Your username: PuppeteerMask
Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Beedrill
Why did you choose to join this club?: I'm not a Genwunner, and while I'm still out on whether or not Gen 1 is my favourite Generation, it is definitely close to my heart. I got into Pokemon back when it was the new thing, got interested with Nintendo Power's little Pokemon mini-mags back in the day, and eventually caved and got Blue Version. It was loads of fun, and while I can't remember much of what I did in those first few playthroughs, I can say with confidence that I can still plug in my old Red Blue and Yellow cartridges and have loads of fun with them all. The original 151 are more than just pokemon to me, they are the representation of my childhood.
Why did you choose your current favorite Pokemon? Beedrill is one of my favourite pokemon of all, although admittedly when I was a kid I did not care for it nearly as much. Hell, I'm horrified of bees (and most insects/arachnids/creepy crawlies) to this day, but I love this little guy. I don't think I can even describe why. It just looks so badass, and quite frankly, when I saw the first episode they were in, I couldn't help but feel sorry for them. (Although watching them sleep while using their needles as a headrest like people would was amusing.) People like to villify Beedrill in fanfic because of it, or paint them as really super weak, but when you think about it, they were just defending their territory, like real animals.
Which starter Pokemon is your favourite, and why? (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle). Squirtle mang. Squirtle was my very first pokemon ever, (and according to the poll so far, I was the only one that saw him fit for use... T_T) and he was a favourite even before I played the game. Sure, Charizard is cool. But Squirtle was cute as all get out. Never underestimate the power of being as cute as all get out. I loved his baby face, I loved his swirly tail, I loved everything about him. Still do.
What Pokémon did you see most prominently in your Pokémon Gen 1 play through? Do you like this Pokémon? I honestly can't remember, but I do remember as a kid being stuck in the Silph Co. tower, and I thought that I had to get past a Team Rocket member that was blocking a hallway. I remember him always saying when you talk to him "That reminds me! KOFFING evolves into WEEZING!" So I guess in a roundabout way, Koffing and Weezing were the pokemon I saw the most of. I like them a lot now... but back then they just annoyed me. I did like Koffing's voice in the anime, though. I also remember seeing a LOT of Gastly and Haunter, for some reason I remember level grinding on those suckers a lot. Unlike most of my generation it seems I bore absolutely no feelings of horror towards Lavender Town. Even when one of my schoolmates tried to toss playground urban legend creepypasta material as a kid, my response was to look at him like he was an idiot and go "yer outta yer mind dood". ...although now creepypasta DOES make me uncomfortable, so... irony?

But I do love the Gastly line. A lot, they're good fun. Especially in their red and blue forms. When I was finally able to get myself a Gengar I was excited as hell.

Hey guys, I decided I'm going to start making banners for The Gen 1 Pokemon Fan Club, but a bit more personalized than the original.
If you want one, send me a message with your name and your favorite first gen Pokemon, and I'll make it like the first banner, but it will be a different color (you can decide, or it can be a color to go with the Pokemon's type), same words (The Gen 1 Pokemon Fan Club), and the sprite of your Pokemon with possibly your username, if it fits.
Here is the original banner:
http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/169/6/6/gen_1_fanclub_banner_by_masoukakirara-d69m6z4.png
Here is a personalized banner (mine):
http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/170/0/9/gen_1_fanclub_banner_fayaurora_by_masoukakirara-d69rsvw.png

I didn't think of this until now, but here is a form for the banners:
Name on banner (optional):
Shorter name/Nickname (in case your full username doesn't fit):
Pokemon on banner (only one or two):
Color of background (optional, it will be colored to the type of Pokemon if you don't choose):

FayAurora is good at making banners. She did the one in my signature!

And just a random question, but does anyone still have any of their first gen Pokemon games? I used to have Red (but I have no clue what happened to it), and I have a friend who has Blue, so the only game I have is Yellow, but I'm proud that I still have that one, plus I'm trying to buy all of the games, Red, Blue, and even Green!

Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Sandshrew Sandshrew Sandshrew Sandshrew Sandshrewwwww <3
Why did you choose to join this club?: Sandshrew! Because Gen 1 was the starting point for all Pokémon games, beginning something truly wonderful and a huge part of my life. I still remember opening up Yellow and playing it for the first time, and the whole experience was just incredible. I began to take it for granted around the time of BW coming out, but I soon got back into it and love it just as much as these original games.

I think the Pokémon I saw most throughout the Gen 1 was Sandshrew, simply because e remained my partner the whole time! Or Pikachu because I played Yellow and he just follows you everywhere haha. As for wild/trainer Pokémon, I think the most common would have to be the Nidoran families! I remember every other trainer in RBY seemed to have them in one form or another and it got rather tedious haha. I have nothing against them, but when they're not particularly weak to many things and they have a decent amount of bulk they can grow a tad tiresome :p

Mew June 22nd, 2013 11:28 AM

My favorite Gen 1 legendary is Mew, because it can learn Transform and more moves than just Transform, like Ditto. What's yours?

I like Mew's ability to learn all TMs and HMs. Not sure who my favorite generation I Pokémon is but I like the legendary birds alot.

Mew June 22nd, 2013 2:36 PM

Yeah, all TMs and HMs are nice too.

Mew is very cool, agreed! I absolutely love that there's a second (and cooler) Pokémon to learn Transform, though I do wish he could get a bit more use out of it haha (though I don't remember how he learns it!). As for my favourite Gen I legendary, I think I'll have to go with Articuno. It's such a beautiful and elegant Pokémon - just imagine her gracefully soaring over the sky raining down an icy mist from her wings as she glides carelessly on the breeze. Is there any Pokémon more worth looking at?

Mew June 22nd, 2013 5:35 PM

Articuno is a very cool Pokémon, and an Ice-type even! Not too many Ice-types anymore... :( :( :(

One of my favorite Ice types. Too bad you can't get one on Crystal version.

Mew June 22nd, 2013 5:47 PM

I think you should get all legendaries in all versions, like a 649 hack does.

I don't believe in hacking but I do believe in shortcuts sometimes. If I ever get my Crystal version fixed, I definitely need to get Articuno, Celebi, etc. on there.

Olli June 22nd, 2013 6:58 PM

I never really got to like Mew that much. I mean it's adorable and all, and the countless hours spent on looking for it in the originals, whether it was under the truck, by beating the Elite 4 100 times, or whatever other methods the various rumours went by, they were still really fun, even if they never gave any result. But yeah, just the fact that it was so out of the way and pretty much impossible for me to obtain in any of my games without exploiting a bug or cheating, because no such events ever came here, it just never really grew on me that much. It's appeared a few times in the anime, but not really enough for me to consider it anywhere close to my favourite :p

I kinda blew my chance at catching it quite a few years back. Near the end in the years of my initial Pokemon obsession, I did get to learn about the bug to get Mew and naturally tried performing it, myself. Just before the final step where I'd get Mew to actually appear, I chose to save and wait to show it to my friends the next day, because even at that time, none of even thought it was possible to catch it. However, I was incredibly impatient, and after a few hours I decided to just enter battle to take a look at it. It worked, and Mew appeared, so I just tried battling it to see how good it was. Turned out it was insanely frail though, and I accidentally killed it, so I just turned it off and waited till the next day. I go to show it to my friends, and what do you know, apparently you can only get it to appear once, even if you didn't save your game afterwards. So all of my friends just thought I lied to be cool, and I never got to show them that catching it was actually a possibility :p I'm sure I could make it appear again by redoing everything, however back then I thought it was only possible once, and didn't want to try it again, just to have my friends laugh at me again. I did manage to do it on one of my friends' version though, and he was pretty happy to get a Mew :D

But yeah, just a quick story of my childhood :p Maybe that's why I don't like Mew that much :O

As for my own favourite first generation legendary, I'd have to say my favourite would be Mewtwo. Mainly because I don't really think the first generation legendaries had that much to them other than design. They lacked any background stories, and were only really memorable for being the first in my case. If Arcanine had ended up being a legendary in the final version, maybe that one could've made it as my favourite of that generation, mainly because Arcanine is pretty darn amazing, as well as it'd just be so different since it was the only Pokemon of the elemental trio to not be a bird. And yeah, for those who don't know, Arcanine was apparently supposed to be the original fire type of the legendary bird trio, but was replaced with Moltres because it'd make more sense to make it a bird trio, rather than having two birds and one dog :p Maybe that's why Moltres was so terrible in the first generation games >:O

But yeah, the reason Mewtwo is my favourite of the first generation legendaries is, not only because it's an insanely strong Pokemon, especially in the originals where Psychic types were horribly overpowered, but also because it was the only of them to have an actual backstory, some kind of indication of its origin. All the others are just there. And while Mew may be infamous for being so rare and having so many rumors on how to catch it, nothing was ever explained about that one, other than it was extinct and apparently was only found in some part of the real world that I can't remember. Mewtwo on the other hand was explained to be the result of a science experiment, where they attempted to clone Mew for whatever reason. He was confined within the Cerulean Cave because he was too dangerous and powerful for ordinary trainers, and all access was blocked for anyone who hadn't proven themselves to be exceptional trainers. It may not be as elaborate as some of the newer generations, but it's still an awesome concept, and it's still the only off of the 5 original legendaries to actually have a backstory :p

Wait, what do you mean by shortcuts? Also how are you gonna get Celebi on there? Don't think there currently is any other way than cheating, exploiting a very difficult and time consuming bug iirc, or owning a Japanese version of Crystal, where you might still need a real-life event to activate.

I'd be alright with having every legendary in the game if they were actually cleverly hidden, like with the Regis in the third generation games. But yeah, not really about first generation Pokemon.

Also guys, since I was on topic with Mew a bit earlier in my post, I'd love to hear which kind of Mew rumours you have ever heard if any. So I guess a small topic? Have you ever heard any of the rumours on how to catch Mew? If so, which ones were you favourite/which ones did you find to sound the most tedious and craziest? :p

like GameShark or something, or is that technically a hacking device? I've never used one but my dad's ex's son did when I lived with them many years back. I don't know how you'd use one on a GameBoy Color though or if it'd hurt it or hurt the game play.

If it's a Gameshark or Action Replay or whatever is out there, then yeah, it'd be considered a cheating device, and could mess up your game if not used with caution :p It's usually used together with emulators to avoid damaging ones real cartridge, and it's mainly used to get unobtainable Pokemon or super strong Pokemon and such, so yeah. I find it acceptable to use it for those who can't obtain them by any conventional means, like for those who don't get an event for a certain legendary Pokemon, though only past generation 4 where there weren't wi-fi trades :p

But yeah, back on topic!

I've honestly forgotten quite a few of the Mew rumours I've heard during all these years, as most of them were really long ago and really unbelievable, so not anything I've tried. The two main ones I can remember are the "Mew under the truck rumour" and the "beat the E4 100 times rumour". Mew under the truck is probably one most people who've owned a first generation game have at least heard about. It was pretty simple actually. In the harbor in the area with SS Anne, there were two inaccessible platforms to the sides of the tier that lead down to the SS Anne, since at the time of entering the SS Anne, you didn't have Surf, and once you'd obtained Surf, you wouldn't be able to get down to that area again. Well, due to a bug, where you would be able surf past the guy blocking the entrance to the area, people were able to get back to the area with the SS Anne, and discovered that on the platform to the right, there was a truck. The truck had no function at all, and no one know why it was even placed there. Well, at the time Mew rumours were already going around like crazy, so of course the truck also ended up getting involved. And now to the actual rumour.

The original rumour was, that if you used Strength on the truck, you would be able to move it like a boulder, and under it there would be a Pokeball. Interacting with the Pokeball would initiate a battle with Mew. Of course this turned out to be fake, but is probably one of the most widely believed rumours of all, and has branched out into many different rumours, often incorporating other methods into it, like beating the Elite 4 a certain amount of times, or talk to these people a certain amount of times, before you'd be able to do it. Also there was something about a hidden item that'd be used to move the truck, but yeah. All fake. The truck was probably just an easter egg for anyone who managed to find it.

The second rumour is pretty self-explanatory. Beat the Elite 4 100 times, and something would happen to give you Mew. Of course I never went through with this rumour because I got bored after like 3 times, but either way, it was fake. It was usually something like professor Oak would give it to you. or you'd be able to cut the trees to the right of Pallet Town to find Mew, or you'd be able to access the area behind Bill's house to get to his "secret garden", which was another big rumour in itself. But yeah, it was fun days with all the rumours, of course none of them were ever true :p

What exactly is an emulator? I've heard of these but never seen or used one. I heard thought that it can save your saved game data 300 times or something so you never lose it. If I were to get my Crystal version's internal battery replaced to where I can play it again without the data erasing again and again, I was going to use cheats to get ahead since I misplaced my strategy guide book but I am kind of anxious about it, not wanting to ruin my cartridge.

I remember the Mew rumors on the older games. I might have tried that S.S. Anne one but nothing ever came of it and I never got Mew in any way or form. Never knew about the Elite Four and Bill rumors though.

Welcome to the club! I really like Starmie's type combo as well, unfortunately very few seem to enjoy using it because of its rather disappointing movepool and the fact that it isn't the most defensive Pokemon ever. The amount of TM's it can learn definitely make up for it in my opinion though :)

Emulators are basically just consoles on the computer, where you use them to run the specific games on. They're all completely free and legal, the problem is rather in getting a ROM for it. There are various sites online that offer downloads for ROMs, however it isn't legal to just downright download them, and the only way to really get the ROMs legally is by using a flash drive or some kind of cable or something. A lot of people consider it alright to download the ROMs however, if they already own that game :p But yeah, people use it as an alternative, if they just quickly want to play the games, since most emulators have a speed-up function, or to try out cheats without needing a cheat device and without messing up their cartridges.

In my opinion, you should just stick to your physical Crystal without using cheats. I don't really get why you'd need it, since all I can really see it good for is getting Pokemon like Celebi and the Kanto legendaries if you don't have two Gameboys, a link cable and a first generation game, but yeah. I just don't think it's worth it. Emulators kinda give a dull experience, as imo, it's not quite the same as playing it on an actual console, and you can easily get caught up in using cheats, etc., which quickly make the games boring :p But yeah, your decision :)

Well, rumours most likely differ from place to place, and the SS Anne was just a really well-known rumour. Things like the E4 one may not be entirely accurate, since they were usually just something where you'd have to meet ridiculous requirements or do some very tedious things to get it, often with a lot of steps to make you think you just screwed up at some point and had to do it all over again. I guess it was a kind of trolling xD

I mean, I can play it without the cheats, there's just a few reasons I wanted to use cheats, like not having to slowly do everything over again since I spend years on that game before it dried up. Another is that I wanted Celebi and the other legendaries then to play with and collect but I guess I should stick to getting Mewtwo and the birds on my Silver, Blue and/or Yellow version but I can't trade them over because I don't have another GameBoy or a trading link. Wish I could trade using my laptop and my GameBoy Color.

I also saw a GameShark cheat that gives infinite Rare Candy and Master Balls. I'm all for that but don't want to ruin my cartridge. Such a dilemma I'm in.

What was your favorite legendary in Gen 1 and why?

Mewtwo, mainly because of his backstory and subsequent story arcs. I've always found it an interesting idea; the dichotomy between predestination and free will. Mewtwo was created in a Lab for the sole purpose of being used as Giovanni's personal weapon of mass destruction but his relationship with Amber in his formative stage and his later interactions with Ash and co. taught him that by virtue of being alive, he can transcend the purposes of his creation and has the power of choosing his own destiny. I especially like how he takes responsibility for the clones he created and becomes their guardian rather than their master. Admittedly, the anime (I mainly refer to the English dubbed version) could have handled his story a bit better to this day, he remains the most complex and intriguing Legendary Pokemon in the franchise.

Also, next to Charizard, he was my most liked Pokemon in the Gen 1 games. Honestly, in an era where the Psychic type was broken, the most powerful Psychic type was also the most powerful Pokemon in the game to the point where he was virtually unbeatable.

I was gonna say that I thought Squirtle might've been my least used starter ever, but thinking back, I'm pretty sure I always chose that one, because I actually thought Grass was weak to Rock for the longest time, and thus I thought Squirtle was the best choice for taking on Brock. That aside, I actually really liked Squirtle in the anime. I felt like he was one of the Pokemon with a distinct personality, being strong and loyal to Ash, while at the same time being a bit of a troublemaker :p And he definitely wasn't one to give up, as could be seen in the Pikachu's Vacation short. He was one of my favourite of Ash's Pokemon, and I'd really love to see him return to the show at one point, since I can't even remember the last time he appeared in the anime. But yeah, despite it being my least used starter of the region, I definitely still love it :)

Which was better to you - Rattata or Zubat?

I can't even remember the last playthrough in which I've used either a Rattata or a Zubat, but speaking from which one is actually better, I'm pretty sure I'd have to go with Zubat. Rattata and Raticate's main use are really their Hyper Fang, in hopes of getting that crit that everyone dreads, but they aren't really good Pokemon to use in most cases. Aside from their Speed stat, there's nothing really significantly good about them, and the only reason to really get them would be their Hyper Fang. Zubat would probably be the more practical use, despite everyone rambling on about how useless they are, because in all honesty, they aren't :p Yes they're annoying and may be the most common Pokemon to date, with every cave being ZUBAT ZUBAT ZUBAT, but if you take some time to train one and teach it the right moves, it can be a good help in battle. For what I remember, Crobat is a super fast Pokemon, and they're good Pokemon for getting that Poison + Confusion combo. They learn useful moves, and just compared to the Rattata family, they're much more useful imo. But then again, that's just what I've experienced with them, because I remember loving my Crobat in Silver, and Rattata was just a meh kinda Pokemon. That's not saying I'm gonna use Zubat any time soon though :p

My least favorite Gen 1 Pokemon is the Hypno. It's the only Pokemon that creeps me out to this day.

My least favorite Gen 1 Starter is probably Squirtle. Nothing against the little guy, I think Blastoise is beast, but I almost always never find myself using him on any of my Kanto playthroughs. Charmander's my favorite so I almost always use him and if not, I always get the most use out of Bulbasaur.

That is definitely err.....wow, I don't even have one....I'm just gonna say Rattata because it seems kinda useless.

2. Gen 1 Starter
Bulbasaur probably. I think it is a very poorly designed pokemon...well, perhaps Venusaur is the one I dislike the most. It just seems like such a dumb evolutionary design. It's the tree....why couldn't it have been a cool-looking flower or something?

http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen1/yellow/018.png

I'd say Pidgey. I know everyone always talks about Zubat, but you only see him in caves. Plus, pidgey exists in more routes. It may just be that pidgey is less difficult to deal with than the annoying status wrecking Pokemon that is Zubat.

What was your favorite legendary in Gen 1 and why?
Mewtwo - Simply one of, if not, the best legendary Pokemon. First, with each generation, the increase of legendaries detracts from the idea of a legendary pokemon. Thus, two lines, the legendary birds and the Mew/Mewtwo lines have more impact since they are so rare. Anyone who has watched the first pokemon movie as a child has a lot of deference for Mewtwo. His design is simple yet distinct. The storyline and characterization involving Mewtwo was spot-on. Some of these new giant-complex-uber-mega-super-ultimate-powerhouse pokemon just seem to lose their identity among the others. This is why I haven't used a legendary pokemon since Lugia.

Which was better to you - Rattata or Zubat?
http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen1/yellow/041.png
Zubat.
If we are talking both better competitively or in design. Surprisingly, these guys can do some damage to your roster in two ways. 1) Poison Status 2) Confuse Status. Rattata only had the quick attack advantage, but it is so weak, the move usually didn't make much damage, if any, despite being a STAB priority move in the wild encounters. Additionally, I actually like zubat's design. Golbat misses the mark, I prefer a cave-bat that uses echolocation, rather than using its eyes. The rattata line doesn't offer much as far as creativity in either level; though, I do like Rattata's purple palette I guess. And, I love Crobat!!!

Which was better to you - Rattata or Zubat? Are we talking design-wise? If so, I choose Rattata. My brother knows a way to complete a Pokemon game with a level 1 Rattata! Besides, I never really liked Zubat, it can get pretty annoying when you run out of repels and it uses Confuse Ray!

Which is your least favourite Gen 1 Pokemon?

Oh wow, a bit of a tough decision. The first generation is so nostalgic, and all the memories, all the Pokemon, are things I keep close to hard, so choosing my least favourite between them. Not an easy choice. It's not like I really dislike any of the Pokemon, so I guess I'd have to go with the one I've been the most disappointed with, in which case I'd probably have to go with Moltres.

Moltres was the one of the three birds, I genuinely just didn't care about. It had a terrible moveset in the first generation games, its design was less than impressive, and it was the least out-of-the-way legendary of all in the first generation games, like it was such a mediocre legendary, it didn't even deserve a maze or a puzzle to be found, and was just conveniently placed on your way toward the E4. Kinda like the Sword of Justice trio in B2/W2. And it wasn't really worth picking up either, since its moveset when its caught consists only of Peck and Fire Spin, two very mediocre moves that wouldn't get you anywhere in the league. And it doesn't learn any other good moves apart from Sky Attack, which it doesn't learn until level 60, which I really never had the patience to train it to before taking on the league. So all in all, a very disappoint Pokemon. It was one of the Pokemon I caught, just because it was legendary.

They've improved on it as the generations has gone by though, it still wasn't much in the third generation games, and I've yet to use it in any fourth or fifth generation games, but I hear the addition of certain moves has made it a much more reliable Pokemon. But yeah, I guess that's the one of the first generation Pokemon I hate the most, just because of how big a disappointment it was :( And it was even a bird :(

Which is your least favourite Gen 1 starter?

I believe I've already talked quite a bit about the starters, so I'll just cut it short. Squitle is my least favourite first generation starter, because of how little I've used it. I've found all of the starters to be pretty awesome, but I've just not used Squirtle nearly as much as the two others, just because it didn't stand out as much. I used it a lot when I was younger, but that was just because I thought Grass was weak to Rock as well (it seemed logical to me), so I chose Squitle just because it'd be easier to get past Brock. I later came to realise that Bulbasaur was the best choice for that, and have used it for that reason pretty much ever since. If I want challenge, I've chosen Charmander. So Squirtle just kinda became left and forgotten, which is why it's my least favourite. But that's not to say I don't like it, since Squirtle is one of my favourite of Ash's Pokemon to this day, due to how great of a character it is :p

Welcome to the club Chuckleslucifer! Finally we got one of the Mewtwo fans in here. I mean, there were tons of people obsessing about Mewtwo back in the day, I mean he was practically considered a Pokegod, a legitimate one that is :p But with Arceus stepping into the scene, Mewtwo was kinda degraded to just being a really strong Pokemon, because who can compete with an actual God, right? I hardly ever see people use Mewtwo anymore, and it just goes to show what 16 years can do to someone :( Great to see people still like him though :D

Yeah, really looking forward to it! I'm just hoping it's gonna be a full-fleshed anime, seperated from the current one, though chances are it's probably just gonna be a few episodes. But it's definitely a great move on GF's part, because fans have been wanting this for years, and it may just catch the eyes of part of the original Pokemania crowd.

I'm really excited to see how they tackle the story though, ie are they gonna follow the games exactly as they were intended, or put their own twists on it like what was done with the PokeSpé manga. I'm just generally excited ;D

Yeah, I think it's hinting at a RGBY remake!

Olli August 21st, 2013 7:05 AM

Perhaps, but I don't think that's actually what they're aiming for. I mean, it might happen, since even though it's already gotten a graphical update, it's still the only generation that hasn't been introduced to the capabilities of the DS yet. But again, I think they're mainly trying to get back the old crowd into Pokemon, and as well as give some of the people who hate Ash as the main protagonist in the anime something to be excited about.

But yeah, we'll just have to see. There's not much we can actually draw any conclusions from yet, because it may either just be some marketing scheme, or it could be they're actually foreshadowing a remake. I mean, they left numerous hints to the remake of HG/SS throughout several games, but I just feel like this might be too obvious? :p

Mew August 21st, 2013 3:14 PM

Well, Kanto was in HGSS, so you meant RSE. ;)

Olli August 21st, 2013 7:32 PM

Oh wait, I forgot R/S/E was on the GBA, but no, I actually meant Kanto. I consider the Kanto version of HG/SS to be kinda like the second generation Kanto, since there are several things that have changed within the region, as well as it isn't really story driven. Also I actually said that it was the first generation that hadn't been introduced to the DS, not Kanto, and there is a difference :p

But yeah, I am actually hoping for a remake of R/B/G/Y or FR/LG or whatever, but R/S/E remakes are still at the top of my list. I've already played through Kanto soooo many times in my life, counting all the times I've played through my Blue version, Leaf Green version, and I guess Silver could count too :p And I just kinda want something new, ie R/S/E remakes, rather than having to play through it once more. It's not that I like it, because it's easily my favourite region, and I would still be happy if we got an R/B/G/Y remake, but R/S/E are great games as well, and they just haven't touched on them in just about 10 years now :p But either way I'll be happy :D

Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Charizard

Why did you choose to join this club?I join this club because I want to hang out with Gen 1 lovers like me. I choose Gen 1 because, it is the first Pokemon game I played , which is Yellow version. And for me Gen 1 pokemons are awesome and cool, unlike the later gens. (well I am not saying I hate the later versions)

Why did you choose your current favorite Pokemon? Well Charizard Is my Favorite Pokemon of all time.

Which starter Pokemon is your favourite, and why? (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle). Charmander, because he is the basic stage of Charizard.

Which was better to you - Rattata or Zubat? At first Zubat is annoying because when you enter a cave (except Diglet Cave) it is the most random encounter, and some of them block your escape or can't escape with them. For Ratata, well he is one of the first Pokemon I caught (together with Pidgey) and I like his move sets like Hyper Fang and Super Fang. So my vote goes to Ratata.

What is your least favorite

1. Gen 1 Pokémon Hmm, Zubat I think... because as I said it is annoying.

2. Gen 1 Starter: Well I love all Gen 1 Starters, but my least favorite is Bulbasaur. Well I don't dislike Bulbasaur he is just my least favorite.

Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Charmeleon. Probably. But I love most others as well.
Why did you choose to join this club?: Because I wanted to join a pokémon club and didn't feel like the singular type clubs were interesting enough, haha. Plus, I've always liked gen I so.


Why did you choose your current favorite Pokemon?
I've always loved Charmander and it's evolutions, and I have a thing for middle evos in starters. Bulbasaur is love, but Charmeleon is a bit cooler than the rest. Plus, fire is great and I like slashing pokémon, like Charmeleon is.

Which starter Pokemon is your favourite, and why? (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle).
Bulbasaur or Charmander. I can't decide because it depends now and then.

What Pokémon did you see most prominently in your Pokémon Gen 1 play through? Do you like this Pokémon?
Pikachu, haha. I mostly played Yellow. Yeah, I liked it but I would have liked it better if it evolved :( Other than it, maybe Hypno or Primeape. Always had those on my team, only changing them for Hitmonlee or Kadabra now and then. But Hypno is better. I like Hypno. And Primeape feels like an old friend by now, haha.

What was your favorite legendary in Gen 1 and why?
Hmmm. Maybe Mewtwo. It's cool looking and really strong. The birds are okay, but I always liked the Johto beasts more and Mewtwo is a bit more badass than those birdies :]

Which was better to you - Rattata or Zubat?
In gen I definitely Rattata! Or rather Raticate, haha. Hyper Fang <3 Zubat was too derpy in gen I. Really didn't like that until gen III.

I saw! Not sure I like it, haha. I do think it's cool that they include the gen I starters into X & Y somehow (professor Sycamore will give you one) and the more Mega evos, the merrier imo. But I think they could have been designed better. So far I've loved all the Mega evos except for these.

Charizard is pretty okay though. Does anyone notice the weightloss he seems to get upon evolution? xD

Now we know why Ash brought him back onto his team. He's gonna evolve! ^^

I'm Black Dynamite :D or Ash (yes thats my real name)
my favorite gen 1 pokemon is Arcanine, when i was much younger it was a toss up between zapdos and scyther.
I love generation 1, it has the best theme song, starters, memories and pokemon. aswell as a badass legendary in mewtwo.


Why did you choose your current favorite Pokemon?
I just love arcanine, its powerful, graceful and awesome looking. arc's also my go to pokemon, i make sure to have one in every generation i play :D

Which starter Pokemon is your favourite, and why? (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle).
bulbasaur definitely

What was your favorite legendary in Gen 1 and why?
umm.... maybe articuno? it's a powerful tank and is my go to against dragon types

Which was better to you - Rattata or Zubat?
rattata, it never gave me an issue. zubat trolled me in caves, having a higher speed then most of my pokemon early on it always seems to use confuse ray as its first move!

Your favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Vulpix.
Why did you choose to join this club?: I was searching for more clubs to take part in, and this seemed perfect for me since I'm a big supporter of first-generation Pokémon.

Why did you choose your current favorite Pokemon?!
Vulpix is one of the cutest Pokémon to ever appear in the Pokémon world. It's small, it's fluffy, and it evolves into one of the most widely-used Pokémon in competitive play. If I ever had this Pokémon as a pet in the real world, then I would always keep it in my arms whenever I got the chance. (:

Which starter Pokemon is your favourite, and why? (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle).
I like Squirtle more, because it looks more cute to me than the other two. Plus, I love Blastoise. Its design is quite epic, and I love how it's able to take its cannons in and out of it shell whenever it wishes to.

What was your favorite legendary in Gen 1 and why?
I would have to say Zapdos. I found it to be one of the most useful Pokémon when it came to competitive battling. It had better-than-average Speed, a decent Special Attack stat, and with its high defensive stats, it was able to stall many of your opponent's Pokémon. Plus, it had access to Rest and Sleep Talk. With Rest, it had the chance to fully restore its health by making itself fall asleep for a couple of turns. Sleep Talk allowed it to continue to attack the opponent while it was still sleeping.

Which was better to you - Rattata or Zubat?
Probably Zubat, because they weren't able to annoy me as much since I wasn't in caves very often. xD

Favourite Gen I Pokémon:

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/9/9b/Spr_1y_150.png

Why did you join this club?: Because I like loads of Pokémon from Generation I, and it's very unique compared to the other Generations for the fact that it had less types, and that the Special Stat was exclusive to it.

Why did you choose your favourite Pokémon?: Because Mewtwo is VERY overpowered with Amnesia in this Generation (Well, without it, it's still OP anyway) and many people like to play with broken stuff.

Which starter Pokemon is your favourite, and why? (Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle): Charmander, because it evolves into a Fissure-Capable DRAGON!

What Pokémon did you see most prominently in your Pokémon Gen 1 play through? Do you like this Pokémon?: The Rattata line, and no, I don't like it too much. Though it could be TOP PERCENTAGE if you're Youngster Joey. Fortunately, there's no Youngster Joey with a Rattata in this Generation, as far as I can remember.

What was your favorite legendary in Gen 1 and why?: Mewtwo, because, as said before, it's broken in this generation.

Which was better to you - Rattata or Zubat?: Zubat, I actually took the time to meet hundreds of them (Well, Mewtwo did, anyway). As for Rattata, yeah, it's awesome with Super/Hyper Fang, but other than that, it's pretty bad.

I encountered Zubat/Golbat allot more than Rattata/Raticate, Zubat stupidly healed my negative status conditions with Mist/Haze, I cannot remember which.

Hey guys, back from a X/Y montage! What Pokémon of Red's Pokémon set from GSC/HGSS/B2W2 was your favorite?

Mew October 28th, 2013 5:34 PM

Need to bump thread, it wants some love. Topic: Did you like how Mewtwo was included in X/Y?

Olli October 31st, 2013 1:31 PM

Did you like how Mewtwo was included in X/Y?

I'm not quite sure, I actually have kinda mixed feelings about this. On one hand, it was a great addition for the fans of the first generation. Mewtwo had kinda been losing touch over the years, with being replaced by Arceus as the strongest Pokemon in the world, and generally just becoming less popular, compared to the immense popularity it'd gained during the first generation, and bringing it back for an upgrade in X and Y, simply to appeal to the old crowd that still plays Pokemon, showed how much they still care about the fans. But on the other hand, it might just have been part of their marketing scheme to possibly bring back older fans who'd quit playing the games, by bringing back a lot of things pertaining to the first generation of Pokemon (the Origins anime, the Kanto starters and Mewtwo). I'm not really sure how I feel about the way they changed up Mewtwo though. I mean, the mega evolutions are a good idea, but I don't really like how they've been tinkering with the old Pokemon, and especially the designs of Mewtwo felt kinda lacking and rushed, as to just bring in something new. Mewtwo honestly kinda reminds me of Freeza from Dragonball with its Y form, by going into a smaller form, yet still becoming much stronger :p

But yeah, in the end I guess I'm happy they brought him back. It'd seemed like they'd kinda forgotten about him, since his legacy had already been ruined with the addition of Arceus, no movies ever really revolved around him anymore, and the only game he'd appeared in for years were Heartgold and Soulsilver. So I feel like it was a bit of a revival, and as he's one of my favourite Pokemon concept-wise, I think that's great :)

Which starter Pokemon is my favourite,
and why? (Bulbasaur, Charmander and
Squirtle): Well of course it was Charmander, I saw it for the first time in the anime, he was abandoned but keep loyal to his trainer, he was kind of weak at the beginning and them he was so strong he wouldn't listen to anybody and finally he was just so loyal again to Ash. He's design is just perfect and then it becomes a Charizard wich is the perfect Fire (and Flying) type. Well he has been my favourite pokémon since day 1, how can't I choose him?

Gen. 1 games aren't my favorite however, but a lot of the gen. 1 pokemon and the gen. 1 anime are my favorite.
Why did you choose your current favorite Pokemon Magmar or charizard are my favorite pokemon, but I chose magmar because I don't believe that he has been taken yet. Ever since I saw magmar at Blaine's gym he has been one of my favoite. He is just such a badass, and I wish that he was featured more. I don't like his evolution, Magmortar.

Hiatus December 24th, 2013 10:46 PM

Do you like the legendary birds and why?
Yes, definitely. These three legendaries are few of my most favorite, in fact! Been fan of them ever since I was a kid. If I had to pick only one though, I'd probably go with Zapdos. It looks quite fierce in terms of design, as it has spiky body, small eyes, and sharp claws and beak. It's even more amazing when it comes to battling. It has great defenses, decent Speed, and its movepool is filled with a range of attacks. It doesn't have many weaknesses, either. Ice and rock would be the only things that it's supper-effective against, I think. My second favorite would have to be Articuno. It has a beautiful body color, and its feathers look really elegant. My third favorite is, of course, Moltres. d:

I mean, since the originals barely had any post-game, and since beating the E4 over and over gets a bit boring after a while, any opportunity to mix up the game experience a bit had to be grabbed. Especially when your friend tells you about a bunch of awesome glitches. Well, the only one I actually ever heard about from my friends was the MissingNo. one, but that was during a time when we barely even used the internet, so it was still pretty exciting nonetheless. And I just thought it was awesome to have a Pokemon above level 100 with which I could wreck everyone and everything, and I actually never experienced any of the side-effects that were to come with catching MissingNo., so I was actually pretty surprised when I learned of how gamebreaking it could be :p

Other than that, the only ones I've ever done have been the surf through objects one, the one where you're able to get into the Cycling Road without owning a bike, and of course the Mew one. All of those were far later than the MissingNo. one though, so they're honestly not too nostalgic. But pretty fun to discover that they were all possible. So yeah, I have tried out a few, but I reckon there are still a bunch I haven't tried out, and I really want to check out the Glitch City one at one point :p
