4th Gen The "Red Gyarados" Discussion Thread

sorry if this has already been adressed but since the gyarados sprite in the video is red, does that mean that all pokemon sprites that follow you will have a shiney counterpart?
 
even if Gyarados doesn't have any special moves or ability, it will still be very common in competitive battling as people will soft reset for a good natured/IV'd one, Shiny Gyarados will become dirt cheap

I can see it now, "someone sent out Gyarados"
the other player, "Wow, its a blue Gyarados, I have never seen one of those before"
 
Yeah the Red Gyarados is confirmed as being in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Why would they take it out? I mean, this is a remake of the original Gold and Silver so it only makes sense that they should leave it in. ^_^ I likes the Red Gyarados.
 
The Red Gyarados pwns all. I'm glad they decided to keep it in and not be stupid and take it out. >_>
 
It's cool, but as Altaria221 says, it will be too common. We will be surprised if in a Wi-Fi battle, we encounter a blue gyarados... Everyone who's using a gyarados will have a red one...
 
I could care less if everyone is else using it. I'll use it if I want to. As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted it more than Feraligatr. (I already have a level 90 blue Gyarados that knows Flamethrower, Dragon Dance, Surf and Ice Fang, so now I'll use the Red one in HG/SS.)
 
Gyrados is the biggest WTF pokemon ever.

I love it to death but it makes no sense.
But like people are saying we'll be all freaked out when we see a blue gyrados.
Like OMG is that a normal gyrados? No way!
Wanna trade.

Haha.
 
The Red Gyarados has always had a soft spot in my heart, it's a very unique pokemon since it's the only guaranteed shiny pokemon you can ever obtain. And it fit with the story so well, giving team rocket a sadistic feel, like they'll do anything to achieve their goal of world domination. I'll fit it on my team in-game and love it forever.
 
I already use an Adamant Shiny Gyrados and I fear that it will be so common that I wont love him anymore.
 
I hope it is a Wi-Fi event... If we have a Red Gyarados, which is really just a shiny one, Shiny Gyaradoses will lose value in trades.

So what? There are other shinies besides Gyarados that you can trade. I'm just happy I can get a free shiny again.

I know that? But really, people who have really wasted their time getting a Shiny Magikarp or Gyarados, now they can just get it in the first 8 hours of SS/HG. I would rather really work for shinys.
 
I have always liked Red Gyarados. When I first went to Lake of Rage and saw that it was like AMAZING! What's that? (I didn't know about shinys I was so small and played first time Gold.) It was just too easy to catch, one ball and done. I don't use Red Gyarados in battles, it's only in box. I still useTyphlosion, Pidgeot and other pokémon with me even if I have Gyarados. I normally use Typhlosion and Pidgeot with me from start to end. Other pokémons are those that I evolve and then throw them to boxes and get another to evolve. I like catching all of the pokémon and I usually never catch evolved pokémon I like first stage pokémons.

I understand. It just seems that everyone is upset over getting this really cool Pokemon. All they seem to care about is trade value. Personally, I think they should keep a Pokemon like that especially if they have earned it and waited that long to try and get one. You could say you got it the hard way before the remake came out. You earned it. The others just had it given to them. Your Gyarados is better because of it. Just because it's easy to get a Red Gyarados, doesn't mean someone won't mess up and make it faint, and save their game. Also, if anyone wants to trade a Red Gyarados for a good Pokemon, I may just do the trade with some of you anyway.

To be honest, I could care less about trade value. I just care about rarity. I spent a whole week fishing for shinies (dumb I know) then I found a shiny Magikarp, then evolved it. But sadly, it will not be rare and everyone will think it is normal.

Shiny Gyrados is already fairly common for some reason but I feel you. I wont be using mine anymore either.

Anyway, Its overworld sprite is ridiculously lame.
