Pokèmon was pretty awesome before natures and ev min/maxing
The only trainers who defeated me in Silver were the rival in Azalea and Koga with Toxic!
Never once I knew about what pokèmon I would meet or catch, instantly traded my bellsprout for NIXY the Onix and got a machop somewhere around Goldenrod? 8yo me thought Scratch was much better than Slash, my Feraligatr was a noble and never had to work a day in his life, Scratch Bite Water Gun Ice Punch all the way until Hydro Pump!!! What was up with static pokèmon, never caught one, defeated Entei in one hit! Caught Lugia in the last of 10 Ultra Balls while eating chicken dinner, levelled my Sandslash at parent's day... And
>>39275363 was almost my Furret's movepool!
