1st Gen ahhh... pokemon blue

[Duuuarte]

so i just started it again but im having trouble deciding on which pokemon to catch i've just currently beaten the 1st gym :) so any ideas?

oh yeah my starts charmander now a charmeleon

 

[Ashay]

Get a pikachu from viridan forest :)

 

[.]

Considering snabbing and training an Abra, Gastly, and Pidgey. All will be key for Elite 4.

 

[Anxiety.]

I always get a pidgey (For FLY) A Pikachu, water, you said you have Charmeleon, you will need something to kill water, and I don't pick grass types XD And then as your progress try to get a Ghastly, it has no weaknesses in that game right? But I don't really know, thats just what I catch XD

Gastly is a good Pokémon to choose; but you will need a friend to help you evolve it from haunter to Gengar. It does have a weakness: Psychic. And, because there were no abilities back then, it's also weak to Ground.

 

[Flaps]

My team almost always have
fire (Charizard),
water/ice (Lapras),
electric (Pikachu),
flying (Pidgeot),
ground (Marowak),
psychic (Alakazam)
and absolutly NO legendaries!

Ahh yes pokemon blue my little bro threw it in a puddle of water and it broke : (

but if you make it to lavender town catch a growlithe and make sure to pick up a rhyhorn to get a rhydon oh and why not a dragonite aguably the most powerfull pokemon of that era.

 

[~King~]

yeah i just recently bought an old black gameboy pocket and pokemon red

and im loving it

i mean the modern video game market is pretty cluttered now-a-days
but there is always the original pokemon to break through all of that.

 

[ErickaVolt]

Gastly has a weakness, and that is a Psychic type Pokemon. Get it?

 

[Panfisha]

Go towards victory road and catch a mankey in the grass outside the entrance. Then train it until it learns low kick around lvl 12. And rock pokemon are weak against fighting, so you should have no problem.

I would always just catch whatever was handy at the start of the game. Most of the time by the end I'd end up with Charizard, Raichu, Fearow, Primape, Nidoking, and some other pokemon.

I wasn't hard into the strategy of beating the gyms back then, I just figured I'd catch some pokemon and hit things 'till they died.
