In the Fr/Lg games (and even in R/B/Y), when you go to Nugget Bridge, your rival is there. After you beat him he gloats about him catching 40 types of Pokemon, BULL! I know i'm not good with counting, but i'm positive you can't find 40 Pokemon from Pallet to Cerulean (Even with evolving!) just like that. Did he just say that to gloat, or was that jerk telling the truth? If he did (most likely) gloat, why did he do it? I thought Rival only cared to be better than you in Pokemon fighting...

[b]Actually, your rival talks about this during the S.S ANNE. Sorry for the confusion[/s]

He says that he found 40 different kinds on the fight on the S.S. Anne. I remember a few months ago someone actually counted how much Pokemon you can get from Pallet Town to Vermilion, and you can actually get 42 without trading.

Actually, who's to say he hasn't traded yet? After all, later in the game his Kadabra evolves to Alakazam, so he must have traded for that to happen. So, perhaps he's also traded before boarding the S.S. Anne.

Actually in the S.S Anne was the time he said that ...

And I counted , and together with EVOs you can even get 41 Pokemon by the SS Anne and make him feel so unimportant .... !
Well, okay. I'm here just to chat with people. Don't really care about signatures and stuff.

When I was playing my LG version I too was having doubts about him catching 40 pokemon, then I checked and you can get over 40 without trading

I think he's a loser that lied to try to impress you, especially if you're the female player. But in all seriousness, you can get about 41 or so without trading. But I do agree on that I don't understand why he wouldn't use them. Gary is really picky though, so he probably only picked the Pokemon he thought were the best. That doesn't explain Raticate very well, does it?

Also, the original RBY was made back when the motto was all "Gotta catch'em all!" so I think it could also be viewed as a marketing scheme. Just my opinion though.

I remember in the anime, Gary had 200+ Pokémons but he had some of these like 3-4 times each. Maybe that's what he wanted to say in the game.

Yeah but i didnt get that in the anime coz it was before he does the last gym .... but in those times there were 151 pokemon .... :S
gone.

But haha, remember, some pokemon are limited in some versions.
To be or not to be is a question asked by many... But many do not know what the answer is to this question.



75% of Pokemon gamers use cheats and specially made codes to make their pokemon battle-worthy. If you are one of the 25% percent that level their Pokemon up legally, put this in your signature.

...or Blue could be way farther ahead of Red than you think...

In R/B and FR/LG, assuming he didn't start with Bulbasaur, he'll have an Exeggcute (which can't be caught until the Safari Zone) on his battling team when you fight him in Lavender Town.

So this 41-42 figure is the amount you could possibly have with or without evolving?

Gary devoted his time to completing his Pokedex more than becoming the best trainer since the person he was doing the favor for is his grandfather.
In fact he doesn't decide to take the League challenge seriously until after the battle in Silph Co.

On fire red I decided to catch anything I see what I don't have yet. Even though I got the pre evo's, I catch them all. :P (I do it so It will help me complete the pokedex on Pearl.) I'm now at cinnabar having 71 species. If you keep on catching anything you see what you don't have you can keep up with the amount the Aides want you to have for an Item. :P

It's possible to have 40 kinds of pokemon if you are on de S.S. Anne.

When we say he evolved them, we do mean he kept under the level cap of what the game wants you to have, right? That means no lv. 35 Hypno or lv. 36 Pidgeot for Gary. Just a weenie lv. 23 (or something) evolved starter.
