Posts: 11/226		 Charmander.

It's still my favorite Pokemon to date, for some reason.

Charmander made the first stretch of the game a bit hard, but it paid off later.

No, only Mew, and yes, Mewtwo was great... it just wins Top4 with enough of those things which refill your attack points.

I had a Mewslave early, for all HMs, whas quite confience.

I started with Bulba, as I just like green. (But I played Blue).


Hmm, it only existed 4 HMs back then, right? Else you wouldn´t have been able to have all HMs on Mew.

And I don´t think it´s fun to beat the game with only one pokémon.


I used it as a measure of transport, mostly surf, fly, cut and I think, light, I had.

I fought with Bulba and some others, later also with Mewtwo.

And yea, it's really boring with only one Pokémon.

Speaking of which, I heard of someone who soloed Blue with a Weedle. Not a Beedrill, but a Weedle.

That was nuts.
Impossible. Weedle learns no HMs.


Oh right. Yeah, the guy did use a HM slave for the required moves, but the were never used to battle in any capacity.

Regardless, you know exactly what I mean.

Meh, if I knew about the mew glitch earlier, I would have a switch-army-mew slave around for every replay I do.

Through the whole game is SUPER-impossible. Charmander and Bulbasaur don't learn Surf... Blastoise doesn't learn Cut. And other things. These are things you need to complete the game!

I just wouldn't reccomend you to do that unless you have nothing better to play. :/ And it should be much harder in Firered.

Then, Pokémon isn't that much of a challanging game. Unless you do PvP battles...

Posts: 1784/3604		 Weird; I think that Mega Kick hits pretty often for me. But then, it´s just for someone to use Double team a couple of times and you won´t hit them.

And you don´t really need Mega Punch/Kick to beat Misty.

Posts: 231/1239		 You won't want them much later anyway. Very innacurate, not worth it when you can get stronger moves later on (and they are both Normal attacks, which lowers their usefullness even more)
Trapster
Posts: 1763/3604		 Well, the reason I didn´t teach Mankey Megakick/Megapunch was that I wanted to save them for later use so I don´t waste them on a pokemon I don´t want them at.

I wanted to try out some more fighting pokemon first.

Yeah, Misty knocked my Pikachu out in FireRed and then it was Charmeleon vs, Starmie. I barely made it.

Mankey wasn´t to think about since Starmie is part Psychic.

Mankey still learns some normal attacks and you could have taught him either or both Mega Punch/Mega Kick just before Cerulean city. Also, Starmie learns no Psychcic moves on its own naturaly (with the exception of Cosmic Power at level 46 as a Staryu), and gym leader Pokemon never have any TM moves that aren't the one they give to you afterwards.

Uh, yeah, I go with Squirtle most of the time
because Blastoise is awesome and I made it rhyme
Always just chooses Venusaur
Who always dies in twenty-four (seconds)
I teach Blastoise Ice Beam and then he dies
After that, I win the prize.

So yeah, with Bubblebeam, Ice Beam, and Bite or something, Blastoise is pretty awesome and beats all the other starting Pokemon. I don't think Charizard can do that, at least not well. Maybe he'd learn thunder.

I made the comment because all this talk about starting pokemon choice reminded me of single character Final Fantasy 1 runs...
