I've been doing a no grinding, swap 2-3 Pokemon every beaten gym leader, Pokedex completion run of Red. Just beat Brock. People seem to think that you can't beat him with Charmander, but their special stat is so shit that Ember still hurts them like a bitch anyway.

>>15785394 Nah dude, he knows Tackle too! But in all seriousness, the Geodude's way harder. Much higher attack stat and can defense curl away your debuffs. Plus, Onix is very predictable since its main strategy is Bide.
Of course, they all go down like bitches to Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

Fun fact: this board is full of teenagers that were barely alive when the superior Gen 1 and 2 games were made. They think Gen 3 and 4 games are the best Pokemon games to ever exist.

Of course, I bowled over Brock with Squirtle, but in Yellow, Brock was a monster to try and defeat. Luckily, I learned about there being wild Mankeys outside of Victory Road, so I caught one to beat Brock with. Unfortunately, it would always die to the Onix, so then initiated challenge mode.

>>15785676 This is probably bait and will get deservedly torn apart by others anyway but I will give you this:
>They know nothing about having an asshole rival who does everything in his power to be annoying as fuck at all the wrong times. God, this. I don't think all rivals need to be assholes but god damn we really need one. It'd freshen things up after 4 gens of nice rivals.
>>15785706 Oh god, thanks for reminding me. Mankey had horrible defense so while he would take down the Geodude, he'd come so close to taking down the Onix...but then he'd fail. That''s why I eventually switched to Butterfre as my way to take down Brock. Dat Confusion, plus I love its design. It actually reminds pretty decent the whole game thanks to it getting Psychic and most of the Kanto NPCs using poison-types. It having Sleep Powder very early was breddy good, too.

I loved Gen 2 but man did it have some weird Pokemon distribution. "Hey, let's make most of these new Pokemon unavailable until you beat the game." "Alright man, sounds like a plan."
>mfw that for the longest time, I always admired Misdreavus and Larvitar's designs but could never really use them because they weren't available until Mt. fuckin' Silver At least Colosseum/XD came around and let me get them pretty early. Anonymous

>>15786091 you are the one with shitty grammar
a few more years in school and you'll be all right
"mean teenagers" is misleading. teenagers can't be mean. they don't know enough about life to say anything that is actually offensive.
your taunts are the equivalent of a 10 year old calling you a "jerk butt."

Charizard couldn't use Fly in Red/Blue. Yellow had to come in and add it.

Since I've been replaying Gen 1-3 so much there's not much for me to feel nostalgic over. Actually, Gen 4 kind of makes me feel nostalgic over my high school years.

>>15786986 I don't get the hate for Yellow either.
You got all three starters and had Pikachu follow you around.
Although HGSS did do it better, Yellow was a game that was really ahead of it's time.

Anonymous
>>15786986 You had to actually play the fucking game and catch Pokemon that would give you an advantage against Brock, who no one could seem to fucking beat when Yellow was new. They were so used to wiping everything clean with the starters in Red and Blue that they didn't realize catching a Bellsprout nearby and Vine Whipping everything to death was a perfect strategy.

>>15785214 Why certainly, since you were VERY polite about the whole thing.
I guess I can start with the fact that you can get a Mew in Red/Blue through a glitch with so many weird, convoluted steps you'd be forgiven for thinking it was made up. Quoting the method I used from bulbapedia:
>For this method, the player needs to find any Trainer in the game that will engage in battle the moment the Trainer is on screen and the player is in the Trainer's line of sight. The player then needs to take one step down closer to the NPC, but make sure that the NPC does not see the player, and then immediately press the "START" button. The menu will appear and the player will be able to Fly or Teleport. The player needs to fly or teleport to Cerulean City. While flying, the exclamation point that usually appears above a Trainer's head when they challenge the player to battle will appear. The player then needs to go to Route 24 and, defeat the Youngster that owns a Slowpoke (and must walk along the wall to be seen, not towards him or the game will freeze). After defeating him, the player needs to fly or teleport to Lavender Town and head to Route 8. The menu will appear. Pressing B will make a wild Mew appear at Level 7. Anonymous
>>15787106 It also had a prototype for the happiness feature, which of course only applied to Pikachu.
Granted, it was probably developed for GS, since GS' development started way before Yellow's, but still, at least it gave us a little sneak preview.
>>15787150 This is a good point, and in one way I think this makes Yellow better than Red/Blue. It shows you that you just can't solo the game with one Pokemon, you need to catch other Pokemon that can help provide back up. Or at least, that's how it's supposed to go. It wasn't until alll the way into Gen 5 that Gamefreak finally cracked down on overleveled solo starter runs with the exp formula change.

You know what? I've always wanted to complete the pokedex when I was a kid, so why not? Gonna do a 151 Pokedex run of Yellow.
>>15787255 They did? I haven't even noticed, but then again, I always keep a very balanced party so that may be why. I guess complaints from people too shitty at video games that they need to solo with one thing?

How are you going to get Mew? Are you going to glitch him in using Red/Blue?
