And just so this gets posted to the next page, here is the form for a banner: 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): 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 |
My favorite Gen 1 legendary is Mew, because it can learn Transform and more moves than just Transform, like Ditto. What's yours?

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

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

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 Quote:
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 |

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 |

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. |

Favorite Gen 1 Pokemon: Starmie Why: Because Starmie has a cool type combo and design, Can learn a HUGE variety of TMs, and is the first Pokemon I ever trained to level 100. I caught it at level 31, and only used 2 rare candies, at levels 52 and 53 (before the Elite Four) Why I wanted to join: I wanted to be a part of a group that cherished the same experience I did. |

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 :) Quote:

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. |
