2nd Gen When you first batteld Red in G/S/C

[Binary]

It took me a couple of rematches before I took him down. I managed to beat him with Misdreavus as my last pokemon. I don't remember the entire battle log, but it was an epic battle on my Pokemon Gold. :3

 

[TrilbyMenetti]

Well, I saw him send out Pikachu first, I wondered, "Oh, great, is he gonna follow up with a Lv76 Metapod or a Lv83 Magikarp or something retarded like that?"

Snorlax was a bit of a pain to take down, but other than that with Pokemon in the 65-70 range he was cake.

Sadly with Snorlax gone in HG/SS, so was his one somewhat challenging Pokemon.

Snorlax is in HG/SS, just without Rest, which made him the irritation he was in the first place. It's Espeon that didn't return.

Anyway, I remember never having trouble with Pikachu (thank you Venasaur, Golduck and Feraligatr, my only strong Pokemon and two of them were from Red, because I was a noob who only raised one Pokemon back then), just everything else, particularly Snorlax with his stupid Rest. Took me a long time to defeat Red, but it was seriously something when I did.

The greatest Pokemon moment in my life so far.

...... It was hard. My 1st time playing Crystal, i almost got sweeped. I think it was my Typhlosion VS his Charizard. My Lanturn Paralyzed it, got Parahaxed, and I won.

The first time I found him when I was younger, I would be that person that would always train their starter and nothing else. So naturally, my Typhlosion was very high in level, probably like 70 or 80 something. With just Typhlosion, I took down his entire team. Although, that did take me a few tries.

Really good speech dude! I remember on 2002 when I meet Red! I just kick his ass :D

 

[MysticFlygon]

I always got pwnd by Snorlax when I faced him. No matter what my team was I always had a hard time with Red's Snorlax.

 

[Pwnyta Jockey]

Don't think I had much difficulty as I had ThunderPunch Typhlosion and I/F/T-Punch Alakazam. Steelix versus Snorlax was fun. Made sure Roar had Snorlax last for that.

Red was easier in GSC.

I think i soloéd it with my lvl 90+ Typhlosion. Blastoise's Surf didn't 1HKO and I somehow managed to burn and outstall it. Yeah, epic battle. Later times I usually was somewhere between lvl 50 and 60 and I could still beat him :l

 

[mondays suck]

The first time I fought Red, I got SLAYED. Being underleveled+having horrible movesets due to just not knowing it better does that to people. Him having Snorlax and me having no idea how to deal with it didn't help.

 

[JAK3]

I regret how I still didn't beat him even after I had the chance, and when I did, it was too late.. I didn't know how, but I suddenly lost my Cartridge of Gold Version and eventually had to go out for a search and find it, I found it in the strangest place too, down in my Basement in a box full of other childhood nooks and crannies. Needless to say, I popped it in, started it up and the save file had gone corrupt, therefore I had to get inside the cartridge, take out the corrupt battery, slam in a new one and call it a brand new Gold version. Perhaps maybe someday I will get to Red, and when I do, I will be sure to beat him.. For old times sake..

 

[HinaBaby]

Never really had a rough time with Red as far as I can remember I pawned his team with only 3 of my Pokemons.

 

[Facepoet]

funny, just battled red on my crystal version last night. had a team of only 5 high 40's and barely won. used Typhlosion w/ earthquake to take down Pikachu,, Umbreon against Espeon, mix of Typlosion using dynamicpunch, gengar spamming hypnosis, with help of swords dance Scizor, all to take out Snorlax. Typhlosion against Venusaur, Gengar using thunderbolt against Blastiose, and at last, Kingdra against Charizard. all of my pokemon exept kingdra had fainted by the end, and she only held on by means of rest and sleep talk. thank god. best battle ever

 

[Shinjiaoki94]

The first time I battled Red in Pokémon: Silver Version, I slaughtered him. It was quite easy. But I will admit that it wasn't done in legit fashion. After I defeated Clair in Blackthorn, I decided to make myself unbeatable by trading the best Pokemon from my cousin's Red and Blue Versions over to my game (Thanks Chris and Sean!). They had gone off to do bigger and better things with their lives and voluntarily left me with such power (I still think it was foolish to just abandon the games though.)! On these two games, they had at least 3 of every Pokémon and some of them had unfathomable stats (for the time anyway). The center piece of my team was an invincible Charizard and an unstoppable Mewtwo. After Blackthorn, everything was a cakewalk.

In the last year or so, I went back to my old Crystal Version and attempted to do it all on my own. I managed to beat him on my first attempt without losing a team member after some rigorous training (although it was much more difficult this time). My team consisted of Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Sandslash, Alakazam, and one other. I am not sure who the final team member was. It may have been my Red Gyarados, Raichu, Lugia, or Ho-Oh (I'll have to check it again.).

 

[blue]

I thought "WOW" at his levels, 70's-80's when mine were mere 40-50's :(

 

[AkumavsArceus92]

I just finished checking my game. My team consisted of:

Meganium Lv. 65
Typhlosion Lv. 65
Feraligatr Lv. 65
Alakazam Lv. 65
Sandslash Lv.65
Gyarados Lv. 65

Yes, I will admit that I am very precise when it comes to training Pokémon at this point in my life.

 

[mew_nani]

The 1st time I fought him:

Oh. My. God. O.O

The 1st time I fought him in Soul Silver:

Oh God. I'm gonna die. :(

...To this day I still haven't beaten him. :\
