I played red back then and yellow a couple of years after its release. I enjoy Pokemon, not only the games but some merchandise too, but I'll go full immersion on Pokemon games only when they allow you to easily transfer your older teams to newer games.

You really only need 3 or 4 Pokemon to roll through the whole game.

Maaybe early on you might need some supplementary help
e.g. if you're playing Yellow and want to beat Brock easily,
you'll have to catch a Pokie that probably won't be on your team in a few gym battles.

But other than that you're fine.
I'm playing Yellow now, and my team is:
>Pikachu
>Bulbasaur
>Charmander
>Squirtle
>Abra

So I guess 5. But I COULD do it with fewer, I just like having a broad team, and I like having the starters with me ;3

My favorite is Crystal.

the first time I played it I killed the legendaries and used my masterball on a shiny polywag, which I didn't need because of my lvl 100 polywrath. I also had a lvl 100 tyranitar and lvl 93 houndoom and then the cartridge ran out of battery.

I would play Pokemon on an emulator but I don't have that much free time and the game doesn't feel as personal that way. Looking though a list of roms where you can have as many saves as you like doesn't feel the same as running a single cart on a piece of hardware you've had for more than a decade.

>Nuzlocke
It's a self-imposed 'hard mode' of the game, named after the guy who first did it- the three basic rules are:
1. If a pokemon faints, it's dead. You have to release it or put it in a graveyard box in the PC.
2. You can only capture the first wild pokemon you meet in each area. Miss it? Tough luck, chump.
3. You name everything you catch, preferably with names that have some serious thought behind them- it should hurt if one of your team dies.

Bulbapedia has an article on it that has additional rules and depth.

RNG abuse or chains are your best bets; chains are only a thing in Gen-4 and up though- there's a thing called a pokeradar that lets you more or less guarantee chaining battles with the same species if you're competent. The odds of a shiny appearing are greater the longer your chain of the same species, up to a point where it flattens out around 1/200 at a chain of 40-odd. It's still tedious as fuck though.

Not sure if anyone here knows this yet but you can get mew in r/b/y legitimately before you even get the second badge. all you need to do is visit cerulean pokecenter, then go catch an abra in the grass. dont fight the lone guy in the grass left of nugget bridge. fight everyone on the way to bills house except the youngster with the lvl 9 slowpoke. get abra in your party. then, go to where the guy to the left of nugget bridge is. you line yourself up so he is just out of view, then you take a single step down. as soon as he comes into view, press start, and use teleport. the excalmation will appear over the Guy's head, but you're teleporting away. now your start button doesnt work. then go fight and defeat the youngster with the slowpoke. after, dont take a step, and telport again(start works again) then, proceed to walk up nugget bridge and a little ways up your start menu will automatically open. press b to close it, and then you'll run into a lvl 7 mew! it dodges balls, so make sure you have a lot.

It's been posted. But you should probably know two things. A: The Slowpoke's in-battle Attack stat influences the Mew's level. It starts at 7 so if you reduce it 6 times via Growl you will fight a level 1 Mew instead. B: Mew and some other Pokémon are subject to the experience underflow glitch, so if they gain less than 54 experience at level 1 it wraps around to a huge number and they end up at level 100.

>>"Hey You, Pikachu!"
Now THERE'S a game nobody ever talks about anymore.

Voice-command stuff never really caught on, did it?
Even to this day you don't see stuff with that.
I know they had some voice peripherals all the way back for the NES (I think made by Konami) but they weren't popular.

Fun fact: Hey You, Pikachu! is the only English-language game to use the N64's Voice Recognition Unit (or "VRU" as it was called.)
The only other game that used it was a Japanese game called
"Densha de Go! 64," or "Go by Train! 64" -- a train simulation game.

I personally enjoyed HYP, but I can see why a lot of people disliked it.
It was a fun little gimmicky toy, but not much else.
No comment on Go by Train! 64, though.

My favorite Pokemon game for the N64 was probably Pokemon Snap, just because of how original and fun it was.

He's a little retarded faggot, so who knows.
just kidding; he's actually a pretty cool kid

I told him that Ash was the character way back in the old cartoon,
and he said, "Ash wasn't the FIRST one, though, I'm pretty sure there was someone before him."
I didn't feel like arguing with an 11-year-old about Pokemon chronology, so I was just like, "Ok."

And now I promised him I'd install RetroArch on his laptop so that HE can play these games.
Almost feels like a waste.

They actually did some really cool stuff in that game and it was deeper than I thought it would be. Thing was, though, that there were time limits combined with how rarely the game would actually register your commands really killed it for it.

When Nintendo tried something similar again with voice control in Nintendogs that aspect was actually functional. I think voice command games have the potential to be fun, especially as the tech gets better.

There's more than one opportunity to get him. Refer to >>1656559 and specifically the big picture where it lists all Pokémon obtainable via Trainer Fly. Gengar is also available on the routes above Cerulean. If you're past that point you can also do it via Ditto. Or just y'know, trade a Haunter. Alakazam is also documented there but it'll probably be simpler to just trade to get him.

That stuff is technically impressive but you can't do it outside of TAS. Though a few of the things they do are used in normal speedruns, like for warping to arbitrary places.

Pokemon games I own on this list:

>R/B
>G/S
>TCG
>Stadium 1 and 2
>Snap

I have played yellow. I do wish I owned yellow and crystal. My favorite will always be the first gen games. They came at the right time for me to enjoy as a kid growing up.

G/S were perfect follow ups to gen1. Basically as perfect of a sequel as you can get imo.

Trading Card game was great fun so nothing really to add here.

I loved Stadium because of it's connectivity with the gameboy games. Also the fact that you could get rare pokemon in the stadium games. The other things in stadium were great as well like the mini games.

Snap was a rather interesting game. Surprised they never made a sequel.

Since this is retro I am glad I can talk about the older gen games without being attacked with morons going nostalgia goggles. I was never able to get into or even play the later games except for R/S. Those games were good imo but at that point the pokemon formula wore thin and to me it seemed like the series would never match the old games "magic" basically. I just simply like everything about the older games much more than the new games. I also liked Fire Red although I only first played it last year.

Maybe all that nostalgia insults has somewhat of a point. I really don't care since my opinion is just that, my opinion. I simply can't change how I feel about it.

[Anonymous No.1661491]

Hypothetically, would the third gen have been much better if it followed closer to what gen2 did? Such as connecting regions (they could have did 3), maybe introducing one more type, better monster designs than what gen3 has (opinion).

I still loved Yellow, but the one thing that always urked me was the selection of pokemon for the gym leaders. Instead of Surge having 2 pokemon and an awesome Raichu, he only gets a Raichu. Koga instead of having various poison types, he gets 5 Venemoths. Giovanni gets a shitty Persian on his team just because he had one in the anime.

I loved the starters over RBY's, but let's take a look at these stat-wise.

RBY had some pretty good ideas. A Grass starter that focused on special and support, a Speed/Special Fire type, and a Defensive Water (with unfortunately not much in the way of support).

GSC had:
-A defensive Grass with barely any status moves, screens as almost it's only support, and not much in the way of recovery of health.
-Almost a complete reskin of Charizard right down to the status minus Flying-Type and with a less useful movepool outside of Thunderpunch.
-A water starter that looked great on paper but didn't tun out that great until later, thanks to most of it's power not having any STAB.

Using a guide ruins the thrill of discovery and cheapens progress somewhat, but if you're like me and don't want to spend hours or days figuring out how to progress past a certain town or route, go for it. You can try Serebii.net, they should have walkthroughs for the older generations.

You can't, it's an event Pokémon like Mew, but exclusive to the Japanese version of Crystal and requires some weird mobile phone hookup that no longer exists.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Mobile_System_GB

However like Mew there is a glitch you can perform to get one. It's a lot more involved than the Mew glitch though, I don't advise trying it on a real game it seems potentially dangerous.

Hmm well for the most part nearly anything is viable in single player. I've seen people beat the game with a Magikarp alone. Mind you I don't think it is a bad idea, just so many mons to go through with the single player being pretty easy. The only time I had a hard time with the single player is the battle tower stuff.

I'll tell you right now: Look up a tool called Universal Pokemon Randomizer.

It's a tool that will hack the rom and randomize Pokemon locations, starter Pokemon, trainer Pokes, whatever. But you can turn all that shit off, and just use the one feature anyone cares about: Make all Pokemon evolve via level up.

[Anonymous No.1667123]

Well, the "surf on the coast" thing actually comes from a well-publicized earlier trick to get Pokemon from any location to show up on that coast. It was usually used to fight and catch Safari Zone Pokemon normally. Then someone wondered what would happen if you did it with the old man, and boom.

[Anonymous No.1670092]

With an emulator called BGB.

It allows Link Cable emulation.
It's kind of a shitty emulator on the whole, though, in my opinion. I use RetroArch
But it was the only one I could find that didn't look completely shoddy/shady that would allow linking.

Even though I normally use a different emu, it was just a simple matter of changing the .extension of the save file when loading it in different emulators.

Basically just download BGB, open up your game in two separate instances, and select "Link" option, go to the Trade Center in-game, and trade.

One caveat though: it can potentially fuck up data in the transfer.
Not BADLY -- but that's why my Alakazam is named "LAKAZAM" and my Arcanine doesn't have a name.

It doesn't do this every time, though.
And if you're careful and create separate save files before each attempted trade you can avoid this.
I just didn't really care.

These games are so fucking fun.

I really wish that I had an actual GBC to play them on, rather than emulating.
Mostly because I can't resist the temptation to use emulator tricks,
and I just miss DAT FEEL of holding the GameBoy in your hands!

I had a purple see-through one like pic related as a kid.
One day, the batteries in the back let out a loud "POP!" while I was playing and there was black shit all over my hands.
My parents freaked and made me throw it out when that happened, but I have so many good nostalgic memories of it.

Pokemon really depresses me these days, honestly. I just can't bring myself to finish a game, or keep interest in it. I've been playing every one since I was a small child, and always loved it to death.

And it's not that the games are worse now, that's not the case at all. The only thing that's changed is me. The older games are just as good as they always were, and the new games might be even better. I just... can't recapture that magic anymore.

I don't want this.
