Jash: Pokémon Yellow Team

Jash 07.09.23	Sinatra got me feelin some kind of way
Sharenge 07.09.23	Gengar Scyther Jolteon Arbok Charizard Primeape
Sharenge 07.09.23	honorable mentions to Pidgeot and Kangaskhan
Jash 07.09.23	Always played with Pidgeot, but I’ve read a lot of people talking about Spearow so that’s the route I’ve gone with so far for flying. I’ll post my current team when I get playing later
vult 07.09.23	Fearow > Pidgeot My usual team would be: Gengar Venusaur Arcanine Dugtrio Nidoking Magneton
Demon of the Fall 07.09.23	Gyarados Jolteon / Pika (if you must use the guy) Alakazam / Hypno (if you can’t trade for Ala) Nidoking Charizard Clefable
Sharenge 07.09.23	those are really just 'mons I've had in rotation and been leveling recently on SoulSilver (well except for Charizard - still haven't gotten my Charmander, but Charmander isn't end-game in Yellow... you can get him in an in-game trade mid-game if I remember correctly) but yeah need to get a few more 'mons into the 70s or 80s level range before my fight against Red atop Mt. Silver (well either that or come at him with Lugia, Ho-oh and Mewtwo, but I don't think I'm gonna go that route lol)... once I beat him I can go get my Charmander
Demon of the Fall 07.09.23	Black 2 is my fave game of the entire series btw, the games became too linear after that gen - team building was still fun in X/Y and S/M (just that the map design suffered). Sw/Sh are the worst games by far because of forced xP share and clumsy transition to Switch. What I’m saying is, don’t skip BW2.
Pikazilla 07.09.23	Fearow is much better than Pidgeot and is also a fantastic early game mon Alakazam is busted (or even Kadabra if you can't evolve it) Venusaur (Kanto has a lot of mons weak to grass) Rhydon Starmie
Demon of the Fall 07.09.23	don’t you have to wait rather a long time for Bulba on Yellow? I think you need like 6 badges or something.
Pikazilla 07.09.23	you can get him before misty
Sharenge 07.09.23	nah pretty sure you can get all the starters in Yellow early or mid-game through in-game characters... some are a trade I think and some are just straight up given to you actually they are all just straight up given to you
Pikazilla 07.09.23	yeah squirtle is the last one you get in vermilion
YoYoMancuso 07.09.23	Catch an Abra and find Tauros in the Safari Zone, both of them are basically just a win button
anode 07.09.23	Vaporeon Dodrio Rapidash Victreebell Electrode Clefable
el_newg 07.09.23	I can't go back to the early gens any more. so many QOL updates over the years, and great features like natures, abilities, special split, etc. plus much bigger rosters means so many more options.
anode 07.09.23	Yeah but the music and sprites aren’t as good and you can’t do fun glitches
Pikazilla 07.09.23	ph sp split is what stops me from playing earlier gens, that's the biggest one however, there are rom hacks that implement it as well as all mon availability
Demon of the Fall 07.09.23	‘you can get him before misty‘ Oh, I thought the lass who gives you Bulba refuses to do so until you have a load of badges, I must be confused then
YoYoMancuso 07.09.23	i gotta get into some rom hacks
Jash 07.09.23	Oh, I thought the lass who gives you Bulba refuses to do so until you have a load of badges, I must be confused then No it’s until your pikachu is happy enough, all you have to do is give him a bunch of potions at full health until his reaction has hearts around his face then you’re good to go
Demon of the Fall 07.09.23	Whoa, I didn’t know that! Think I must’ve just played it as a kid and coincidentally went to check if I could obtain Bulba after six badges and assumed that was the reason or something I seem to remember the criteria being fairly vague if you just go by what she says to you.
Groundking 07.09.23	Nidoking, Starmie and Kadabra/Alakazam are easy mode Best gen is gen 2 and the best version of gen 2 is Polished Crystal with physical special split, abilities, all items gen 7 mechanics all evo's and regional forms. Highly recommend it @pika
Pikazilla 07.09.23	Played it, it's great The best Johto experience imo is Pokemon GS Chronicles, what an amazing romhack that is
Jash 07.09.23	Just looked into GS Chronicles, looks great, putting that next on my list along with Black 2
bellovddd 07.09.23	I dont know how or why but I think i'm the only kid from my generation who didnt get into pokemon lol.
ToSmokMuzyki 07.09.23	glitch raichu because fuck pikachu
Jash 07.09.23	Okay so my team right now as I’m heading to the Vermilion City gym Fearow L29 Kadabra L24 Charmeleon L23 Ivysaur L24 Nidorino L24 Mankey L24
Pikazilla 07.09.23	why u no evolve nidorino otherwise good team
Jash 07.09.23	I didn’t realize I’d missed the window for thrash and didn’t know what to do, I just did now though because fuck it
YoYoMancuso 07.09.23	after using Annihilape i don't think i could ever go back to just plain old Primeape for a run
Pikazilla 07.10.23	annihilape is broken af lol now give us a xatu evo
ConcubinaryCode 07.10.23	Best yellow team is: Persian, Raichu, Weezing, Jynx, Electabuzz, and Magmar
anode 07.10.23	i totally agree but i dont think you can get all of those last three in yellow but could be wrong
Pikazilla 07.10.23	wtf you can't get raichu and weezing in yellow also you can only get one, electabuzz or magmar, can't exactly remember which one of the two
ConcubinaryCode 07.10.23	You can actually trade for a machamp and rhydon in yellow and iirc they ask for easy to get pokemon. It's worth it for the extra exp gain. Also get Snorlax.
ConcubinaryCode 07.10.23	FYI you can get none of those pokemon in my first post. 😉
Pikazilla 07.10.23	oh yeah persian is also unavailable they basically made TR's team unobtainable, so no ekans either also you can't get the weedle line either and yes you right about buzz and mar, neither is obtainable all of this for the price of three kanto starters
ConcubinaryCode 07.10.23	It's crazy how until L:A came out, yellow was the only game you could get all three starters.
Pikazilla 07.10.23	technically there was a box glitch that let you get all three starts in r/b as well as s/g/c you simply had to box your starter and start a new save - the starter would have remained in the box that's how I got rita, toto, and cynda in my silver version, didn't even need to trade
YoYoMancuso 07.10.23	Just remembered Dugtrio is also busted in gen 1 because of the crit mechanics
anode 07.10.23	maybe you could change the characters in your name to make it so you get the missing pokes surfing on the cinnabar coast concubinary
Pikazilla 07.10.23	walking the razor's edge there one press of a wrong button and say buhbye to your save file
anode 07.10.23	Oh yeah and the cinnabar island coast is fixed in yellow. Honestly most of the gen 1 glitches are pretty harmless to your save state pikazilla unless you worried about messing up your hall of fame
Hendoi 07.10.23	check under the truck
vult 07.10.23	Yeah my fave comp is mew and 5 missingnos
ToSmokMuzyki 07.10.23	how to get any pokemon in the game https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_index_number_(Generation_I) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Demon of the Fall 07.10.23	the idea of playing gen 1 again is ultimately always more appealing than actually diving in I find. Probably best left in the past, although I’m guessing the remakes are better (never had a GBA so didn’t play them) If I want that old school nostalgia I just play HG/SS, gen 2 gives me those same vibes whilst retaining the ability to explore Kanto for the feels
Trebor. 07.10.23	red/blue/yellow is so bizarre and easy to break because the coding is so bad Like the RNG on razor leaf is broken and almost always crits so Venusaur becomes the best starter even though he should be the worst
YoYoMancuso 07.11.23	If you use amnesia in gen 1 to max mewtwo’s special, it ends up having the lowest special stat in the entire game because it’s already so high to begin with
