Why when I have an emulator for it and all the original ROMs? >:D |
Poet
12.05.12 | I can say that I have never played anything past Yellow. |

12.05.12 | Gold and silver own. But this is about the real OG shit nigga. |

12.05.12 | "I can say that I have never played anything past Yellow."
Yellow was fun once you got past Brock. Starts you out with Pikachu, first boss is rock. That was fun fucking leveling Caterpie 14 levels. |
Poet
12.05.12 | I had to catch a Pidgey and have it evolve to a Pidgeotto the first time I beat Brock way back when. |
BallsToTheWall
12.05.12 | Lol, very ballsy Poet. |
BallsToTheWall
12.05.12 | Good call Dot. If you don't start with Bulbasaur, training a Caterpie is your next best bet for the two first trainers. |
DotEight
12.05.12 | "Good call Dot. If you don't start with Bulbasaur, training a Caterpie is your next best bet for the two first trainers."
But I meant on Yellow, you don't get to choose. You basically have to find a wild pokemon that could own Brock. It just sucked grinding those measly levels. |
tommygun
12.05.12 | yeah yellow kinda throws you in the deep end |
Poet
12.05.12 | You didn't need to start with Bulbasaur in Blue/Red. I beat Blue last summer using only Squirtle and his evolved forms. Screw the other 149 in that game. |

you guys are fucking idiots |
BallsToTheWall
12.05.12 | HATER ALERT! Sound the battle horns, raise thy halberds.... |
tommygun
12.05.12 | yeah start with squirtle and catch a pikachu in the first forest before pewter and you're set basically |

bro, electric moves deal normal damage to rock type pokemon
but they do 0 damage to ground types. and all rock type pokemon in the original (except for the fossils) were ground type too! |
DotEight
12.05.12 | "you guys are fucking idiots"
Proud of it. |
Butkuiss
12.05.12 | 3rd gen was awesome. |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | gen I was so bugged and unbalanced it wasn't even fair.
ghost types were supposed to double psychics but instead they do nothing?! and there were only 3 bug type attacks (leech life, twineedle, and pin missile) and all of them fucking suck? ghost type moves were still physical and not special even though the only ghost types were gastly, haunter, and gengar.
not to mention the tms were fucking bad in that game. |
Aids
12.05.12 | I hope that everyone has changed their facebook profile picture to a pokemon but december is pokemon profile pic month. im seriously, get on it.
mine was a Magikarp as first but then I listened to Big Boi's new album and it was so good that he evolved so now I have a Gyarados |

12.05.12 | because* december is ..... |
Poet
12.05.12 | "bro, electric moves deal normal damage to rock type pokemon"
yeah pretty sure all of my thundershocks always said "was not effective" back in yellow.
You probably grew up playing the later games and had to go back to the originals to see what they were like and bashed on them for not being as good as the newer ones right? |
BallsToTheWall
12.05.12 | I have, Metapod obvs. |
toxin.
12.05.12 | fuck yea
Cyg knows what's up, Gen I is so overrated, I mean it rules because we were five when we played, but
yeah Heart Gold rules, best Pokemon game and I've played 'em all I think.
Is it really that again? I remember Dec 2010 literally 95% of the people I cared about changed theirs
(I still have a Quilava in my profile pix) but now it's like 2% so I'm like nah |

I was 12 when 1st gen came out.. damn how old are you? |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | "You probably grew up playing the later games and had to go back to the originals to see what they were like and bashed on them for not being as good as the newer ones right?"
yep, started with gold and silver, then ruby and sapphire |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | I wasn't even a year old when the original pokemon red and green came out |
toxin.
12.05.12 | I'm 18, pretty much 19, I don't even remember when Gen I came out but I specifically remember I was 3 when I started playing. It was on a trip to India (I'm Indian-American) and I'm going to India after Finals week and I'm gonna play Black 2, gonna rule |
DotEight
12.05.12 | You guys make me feel old as shit, and I'm not old at all in general terms. |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | the problem I have with black 2 is that I don't like 90% of the new pokemon so my main party consists of like 3 gen I pokemon. |
BallsToTheWall
12.05.12 | Silver/Gold was really fun to play because there was so much cool shit to do. And 250 is managable. |
toxin.
12.05.12 | Yea DotEight sadly most people here were like -5 when RBY game out and even younger when RG came out, I mean I'm reasonably old compared to the 12 year olds here
Cyg yeah whatever, I don't like the starters which is a bust because it's against principle for me to put it in the boxes but I don't mind some of the Gen 5 Pokemon. Granted my Black 1 team was literally Samurott and Victini until I got Reshiram which became those three lol I did eventually get a Hydreigon and Arceus and shit but yea, I know what you mean |
Aids
12.05.12 | attaboy Balls
alright who else has pokemon'd their fb page? |
toxin.
12.05.12 | Balls, if you like G/S it's worth it to buy a cheap DS Lite and HG or SS. It's the same game but upgraded with mechanics (e.g., Gyarados doesn't suck shit because he can learn physical water movies which was impossible in G/S, so you don't have to rely on hyper beam or strength or something). Minimal contact with Gen 3/4 Pokes too |
pmmets07
12.05.12 | lol every pokemon thread ends up with the same argument about which gen is best |
DotEight
12.05.12 | I wish I could get my 3 grand back I spent on buying packs of cards. |
BallsToTheWall
12.05.12 | Always wanted to play Crystal but never did. |
toxin.
12.05.12 | dude that Charizard card was worth $3000 at one point. Then everyone found out and flooded the markets so it's down to like $300 but still, you never know how much originals will be worth down the road. also why I don't sell my mtg cards |

DotEight
12.05.12 | "dude that Charizard card was worth $3000 at one point. "
To who? Card shops when I was growing up sold them at max for $75-100. And I had several of them, so did all my friends. |
BallsToTheWall
12.05.12 | I pulled a 1st edition holographic Charizard out of a pack once...good times |
toxin.
12.05.12 | Uh yea most retailers, a mint shiny Charizard that everyone had.
I don't know where it was but there was a list of most expensive cards, pretty sure only Black Lotus from MTG was worth more
but those Charizard cards were mass produced so I think when people found out how much it was worth they flooded the market. Prob worth around $100 now
and yeah mint |
toxin.
12.05.12 | also it was off some website that I can't find so idk who was buying, I lied when I said most retailers |
climactic
12.05.12 | i bet if the 3rd or 4th gen was the 1st gen youd all still think it was the best. there are stupid ones and good ones in every gen |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | Yeah I didn't like any of the starters in Gen IV either but they weren't awful like the new ones are. I personally really like Serperior in how it looks but it's just a terrible pokemon in general. Not to mention Grass is a fucking horrible type. |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | Truth be told, Gen I had the best pokemon. |
TMobotron
12.05.12 | Dude brock is fucking easy in yellow and none of this caterpie shit, just get nidoran and learn double kick. |
Keyblade
12.05.12 | "I wasn't even a year old when the original pokemon red and green came out"
in america or japan? :|
also, pretty much all of the gens rule. but nothing beat the excitement of trading pokemon and playing the game on your tv via pokemon stadium in gen 1.
|
WeepingBanana
12.05.12 | obviously Gen I is the best but Gen II had the best single pokemon. you know who i'm talking about.
mother fuckin Houndoom |
pmmets07
12.05.12 | hahaha i fucking loled. i knew exactly who you were talking about |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | Yeah Houndoom rules. I always liked Ampharos but he's too slow. :'[ |
BallsToTheWall
12.05.12 | mother fuckin Houndoom (2) |
Keyblade
12.05.12 | my lil bro's playing soul silver right now and it looks sweet af |
ApexPredator
12.05.12 | Pokemon black 2 is the shit serperior is great if u raise him correctly probably the best pokemon game in a long time tho sooooo much to do |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | Firered and Leafgreen are way too underrated.
Again, anyone wishing for a Ruby and Sapphire remake like I am? I don't see why they shouldn't, they'll get a whole bunch of money if they do. |
Cygnatti
12.05.12 | Houndoom is even better now that it's got Nasty Plot. You can like sweep whole teams with that. |
DotEight
12.05.12 | Pokemon has pretty much ran it's course in terms of being a cash-cow. |
climactic
12.05.12 | "anyone wishing for a Ruby and Sapphire remake like I am? I don't see why they shouldn't, they'll get a whole bunch of money if they do."
love those games but they dont quite need remakes yet. i played through sapphire last year and personally i love the graphics/gameplay |
Keyblade
12.05.12 | damn fire red was fucking awesome. but i don't really care for a gen 3 remake tbh |
ApexPredator
12.05.12 | Cash cow? How? It's a 30 dollar game and they continued the story in a great way with the sequel makes black 1 even better |
ApexPredator
12.05.12 | They should just re make ruby and sapphire for the 3ds for the first pokmon games only makes sense |
pmmets07
12.05.12 | serperior w/ coil is ite |
ApexPredator
12.05.12 | Well if you rase his EVs right he's a boss mine has a special attack of 148 and an attack of 135 at level 45 |
