Worth the read fellas. Lol

Bulbasaur was the hardest to get past that first gym leader with. Had to have vine whip.

Whenever I play Pokemon I need 3 save spots, one for my Charmander, one for my Squirtle, and one for my second Charmander.
[β]rogerhuston 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
"What about second [charmander]?"
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II14 points15 points16 points 8 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Nah just train him up a bit. Charmander is weak to rock throw and can get merked if you don't level him.
[β]Cuplike4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago* (5 children) | Copy Link
Charmander learns Iron Tail at level 14 which is strong against rock types
[β]elkeryos8 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
metal claw didn't exist in the first BRY though, so we were fucked. The good times.
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
We're talking about red, not fire red. Steel type anything didn't exist yet.
[β]Monsieur_Valjean1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yup. Back then, the best way to get past Brock if you chose Charmander was to get a Nidoran (Male) with Double Kick or a Butterfree with Confusion and Poison Powder.
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
The other option is to over level to stupid proportions. The shitty thing with this route is that it's really time consuming because the best you're going to get is 60 or so exp from a Kakuna in Viridian forest lol.
Edit: Nidoking is also good because it gives you a fully evolved pokemon early. Just make sure to pick up the moon stone in mt. Moon. He'll destroy the Vermillion gym being a ground type.
[β]mistermoomoo11 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you are fighting brock at level 14 you fucked up
[β]Profitglutton0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Whenever I started out with Bulbasaur I always grinded to make it a Venausur before my first gym battle. I can basically wreck through everything up to gym number 6 that way.
[β]rationalthought31424 points25 points26 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
it might be fake but many is the ex or orbiter who has gotten this message. The best is when it was after she burnt the bridge and now she is trying to put it back together with some chewing gum and string because she has exhausted all of her other options.
[β]mgtowliberdade15 points16 points17 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Hang up as soon you recognize who it is
[β]LeafFan1990 4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don't even pick up if you have call display and recognize who it is
[β]Tyranid_Swarmlord10 points11 points12 points 8 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
nothing but magikarps
I mean, Magikarps become a fucking Gyarados.
Thats kind of strong and not meme-worthy unless you are a masochist who stops the evolving part.
Oh and next time make sure to avoid answering phone calls from whores when starting off, its a PITA to reset the game if you pick the wrong one.
As for starting off, Bulbasaur is good to rip through the first two gyms + can clutch 3rd gym since electric isnt effective.
By the time you have to worry about gym 4, you can grab a flame/flyslave pokemon by that point.
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Gotta love gyarados.
[β]Tyranid_Swarmlord5 points6 points7 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yep.
Gyarados is a great symbol for men too.
Work your ass so fucking hard as Magikarp, reap the rewards when you finally evolve, then steamroll and brutalize the living fuck out of everyone in your way.
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Switching him out a fuck ton to get that early game gyarados is always worth it. Useful against Misty if you went the charmander route and didn't want a pikachu.
[β]ArtoriusXv2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Gyarados Upvote!
[β]PORTMANTEAU-BOT2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Gyaradote.
Bleep-bloop, I'm a bot. This portmanteau was created from the phrase 'Gyarados Upvote!'. To learn more about me, check out this FAQ.
[β]ArtoriusXv2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Good Bot.
[β]AllureFX8 points9 points10 points 8 years ago (8 children) | Copy Link
I usually went for the water ones outside of Johto era since Typhlosion can be given Thunderpunch TM lol
[β]SnackSquadTB4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
I went for totadile. Ice fang ftw.
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's only in the remakes. In gen 2 you used ice punch.
[β]Gay-Mgtow0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
If they ever remade silver and gold Iβd buy instantly. Hands down the best PokΓ©mon games
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
They did. Heartgold and Soulsilver for the ds. Those are the games with ice fang as that move didn't exist in 2nd gen.
[β]Gay-Mgtow0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
I know, but Iβm talking with the modern tech! How good would they be in 2019?
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Probably pretty fun.
[β]SnackSquadTB0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I dunno the newer games have gotten way to easy. I fear they might make it too easy. (I've even gone back to old games and found them more challenging than the newer ones.) Still would be nostalgic. (I still perfer the 2d pixel style to the 3d style.)
I'm the same but, I mean, for the first run through it'd be fun. They older games weren't that much harder but grinding pokemon up to appropriate levels, especially later in the game, was so damn time consuming.
[β]PalmelaHanderson_II4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Charmander is a classic choice but the guaranteed crit from razor leaf is always tempting. I used to use charmander but I've used bulbasaur the last few times I played the games.
[β]Senip691 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Razor leaf is the shit.... it was my answer to everything
[β]consios884 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Picking Charmander you was about that struggle life for the first 2 gyms both super effective charmander fainted.
[β]IcebergHermit 3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Squirtle π’ π
[β]ideserveall4 points5 points6 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
at least these pokemon give him something back for his attention.
[–]OptionsReprimanded4 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
LOL
[β]BassketCase2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Bulbasaur π
[β]Kenny-Man2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
An army of Magikarps would become an army of Gyarados... I wouldn't call that hard mode.
Hard mode is winning with a Kakuna.
[β]BattleDuck289 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I like Squirtle personally
[β][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
SAVAGE
[β]BlueEyez4771 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It really is a hard choice lol, I mean personally bulbasaur (grass type bias lol)
[β]juankixd1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
A solid 9/10 has a interesting plot and character development.
[β]Infinitewisdom19841 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This makes me want to fire up the gameboy emulator and play some pokemon with a bowl of captain crunch berries
[β]JPaulRaines1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I always go with fire Pokemon as my starters since they are the rarest in the wild
[β]purgetheinfidels1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
LMAO bitch get left for pokemon.
[β]EvidencePlz0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I have no interest in PokΓ©mon so dunno. But he should play cod4, or Pavlov if he's got VR
[β]kaczan30 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This is fucking stupid. Charmander, obviously.
[β]deathtocontrollers0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
A classic, indeed.
