When you were younger what did you think the strongest pkmn was?

[Saltare.]

Pikachu! But now, it sucks so I know I was foolish and uneducated back then

 

[Barney.]

Mew, Becasue of the movie, Or charizard because the card was hard to get :P

 

[Ayano Hana]

I always used to think Mewtwo was.
Just by the way he looked and he was the last in the Pokedex. (KantoDex)

 

[Legobricks]

I thought Mew until I actually got one, Metronome = fail.
Apart from that, I never really concerned myself with which Pokemon is strongest...

 

[Aurafire]

I always though Mew was the strongest, because he was so mysterious....I never figured out how to get one =(

 

[UberChomp]

I always thought Mewtwo was, the stupid little n00ber I was back when I was in 5th grade.

Mewtwo is still one of the three biggest uber threats in pokemon. 0_o And RBY Mewtwo in the 1st gen was an insane killer.

1. Arceus
2. Deoxys-A
3. Mewtwo

 

[Kelster]

Mewtwo and Mew.
With the right moves they own.
Mewtwo's Me First is a handy one.

 

[RhymesWithEmpty]

As far as the cards went, Charizard was the one to get. Not that any of my friends or I even played, just collected, but still, you had to have a Charizard!

In terms of the game, my friend and I were always using cheats to get Mew, so, yeah, I'd say Mew.

I also used to think Raticate was amazing, and that hyper fang was practically the best attack in the game, back when I played Yellow. That was pretty much my strategy - hyper fang everything. Not a bad attack, but clearly not the best, and not worth keeping Raticate on my team, heh.

 

[Kricketune]

Due to the rarity of it's TCG card, I thought Charizard was, followed by Mewtwo, the legendary bird Pokemon, Dargonite, and... well, those other rare Pokemon.

1st Gen: Hitmonlee
Stfu! I was 4!

2nd Gen: Lugia
That's a given:P!

3rd Gen: Rayquaza
He was t3h ul7im@73 pWnZ0rZ!

4th Gen: Electivire
Yes... He sweeps amazingly! But other than him... ARCEUS!!!1!

 

[KJ]

when it first came out i thought charizard and mewtwo was

 

[Bludycomicsinc]

when it first came out i thought charizard and mewtwo was

Charizard and Mewtwo totally rock! I can see why you thought that.

 

[Detox]

Back then for some reason i thought it was gengar...maybe because im obsessed with ghost types....

 

[Master Jecht]

I thought it was Blastoise because i beat everyone in the games with him.

 

[Sea Guardian]

In the first generation I thought it was Mewtwo 'cause hes really powerful and the psychic pokemon in the first gen were WAY too hard to kill.
In the second gen I thought it was Lugia because hes awsome and because the other legendary was Ho-oh(I just kept thinking "If theres already one Fire/Flying legendary why make another one?")
In the 3rd gen I thought it was Rayquaza Because he was bigger, meaner and harder to catch.
For the 4th gen.... I'm still not sure.

 

[suicidesal]

When I was younger- Mewtwo was the only uber- except Mew but Mew is too cute to be as strong as Mewtwo (in my mind at the time). So Mewtwo- and on that note I really want to watch pokemon the first movie again

 

[Lord Yawgmoth]

Charizard crossed my mind, mostly because of it's apperance, and how rare it's TCG card was

I had three Charizard cards, all real and in mint condition. =3 (Until I lost them, along with half of the cards I planned to sell. =[ )
Anyways, I always thought it was Dragonite in R/B/Y, mainly because I beat Lance's after a stall-war with it against my Haunter. I never considered Mewtwo, because neither I nor anybody I knew used him. (I was against Legendaries since I was 6.)
In G/S/C it was Tyranitar, who was even more beastly then he is now.

 

[Shell_Shock]

when i was young and naive i thought it was blastoise lol.. good times!

 

[Natob]

I believed that Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur were the strongest/best ones. It was in the end of the 90´s.

 

[dumbpikAchu]

I thot Charizard was in 1 gen. Before I discovered Mewtwo, That is. 2 Gen, I think it Was Celebi? 3 Gen...Ok. I still don't have RSE XD LOLROFLWAFFLEIMAO!
