1st Gen Pokemon Yellow "Starters"

I remember just training my Pidgey and evolving into a Pidgeotto.
It seemed to do the trick without to much of a problem, from what I rememebr.
 
The first time I played Yellow (which was a year ago), I caught a Caterpie, evolved it into Butterfree, taught it Confusion and destroyed Brock with it!^^
 
I played yellow right when it came out, and I beat Brock with nidorina. In red I beat Brock by accident, all but one of his onix's twelve attacks missed.
 
All I could remember when I was still a kid that I beat Brock (and almost all gym leaders) with the Pikachu. I disliked catching other pokemon for battling purposes and just used Pikachu all the way.

Now, I played Yellow again and caught a Mankey and a Caterpie. Trained Mankey to level 15 and Caterpie (Butterfree) to level 15 also. Pikachu was like 12 this time.

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)

yes, you CAN do this!
Maxed Evasiveness (double team) and Slam! (requires 20lvl)
 
I had Yellow at a very young age, and didn't know how to catch pokemon at that time, and ended up with a level 28 Pikachu and was taking out half of his Geodudes health in one Quick Attack, so that was my way, but now I would grab a Mankey and take them out easy.
 
I bought yellow when it came out, I used mankey for brock. Sooner or later I may get nostalgic and check ebay for a gameboy color and the origonal pokemon games again.
 
I started various new games on Pokémon Yellow, so what I used against Brock varied between Butterfree, Mankey and Nidoran♂. I think I even attempted to beat him with Pikachu, though whether I actually beat him with it I don't remember (I doubt I did).
 
I believe I raised a Nidoran to learn Double Kick and mop the floor with Brock. But that's going way back in time; I just know that I don't believe I would have used Butterfree or Mankey in any capacity in the game.
 
I raised a butterfree under the impression that confusion was super effective against rock.

and it worked :D

but pikachu's still my highest level. I still play yellow :D
 
I almost always went Nidoran in Yellow 'cause I love Nidorino. The few times I went Mankey were regretted in the late game because it seemed like it took forever to level up.
 
Let's see...I didn't read and kept losing and then lost my first copy of Yellow. :D I was dumb, lol. Nowadays, I raise a Butterfree or a Nido to learn Double Kick.
