okay, so we all know that you can't beat Brock with Pikachu, you have to catch others and raise them up to beat him. I'm just curious as to which one(s) you guys used to beat brock. I caught a Nidoran, raised him up, evolved him, and now i use my Nidoking more than Pikachu. anybody do anything similar to that? 8)

yeah, actually i caught both Nidoran but i ended up going with Nidoking because he seemed stronger.

A lot of Yellow 'mons learn Fighting attacks early, once I used Mankey and once Nidorino (his Attack is higher than the female's, all the better to cut through a Rock type's Defense). The first time I'm pretty sure I just went with Butterfree, since Special attacks don't need to be as strong with Brock.
Nidoking's one of my faves for his crazy cool movepool (I just give him the TM's I have left over :P ), and Butterfree can't do much so Nido's usually my choice.

Heh, I really didn't like Pikachu or I might've tried that too. I know I preferred using Charmeleon on Brock instead of just raising something more effective.

Mankey's the better choice since it gets STAB for fighting attacks, but for some reason I just never liked Mankey so I went for other Pokemon. -_-'
To this day I've only bothered raising a Primeape once.

Pokemon Yellow was the first pokemon game i ever got. and I couldnt get past Brock, FOREVER, so 9-year-old Me's solution to THAT was to trade my lapras over from Blue. and kick some ass. :)

I remember when i used a mankey, then I stupidly taught KarateChop over Low Kick cuz I thought it was fighting type move (I actually played Gen IV first) then I used it against a Geodude and i was like "wait a minute... ah crap!"

trade mewtwo over from red version. :X I had red on my birthday, my little brother got blue on his, and me and both my brothers got Yellow for christmas, and we all had gameboys and one linkcable to trade with. Nothing says screw the game mechanics, I have a disobiediant level 100 legendary better than using it against a level 15 onix. The only bad thing is that mewtwo barely listened to me. >:[
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
