Plus Paras has (weak) offensive Bug attacks (actually just one at LV 20) and Starmie is a Psychic pokémon. But Butterfree Level 16 itself is stronger than Paras Level 17.
Printable View
Actually, Starmie only used Tackle during the entire fight, and my Paras only knows Scratch and Stun Powder. So no elemental advantages/disadvantages here. And Sephiroth is right, a Butterfree is MUCH stronger than a Paras (twice evolved vs basic).
Who was more awesome again? :D
Actually, according to Bulbapedia, Paras has much more attack and a little more defense than Butterfree, while Butterfree has much more HP, speed, and special.
I know, when did I say attack was the only thing to be considered?
You sentence about "much more attack and a bit more defense" sounds like that. That's why I've replied.
Sp. Atk and Sp. Def is just "Special" status in RBY. They didn't split the two until GSC.
I think the addition of the Dark and Steel types, along with moves of the same nerfed them even more.
This is so cool.
I have a glorious update for you all. Right from the very hands of Yume, Pokemon trainer!
Party before Misty.

Part before Erika. I forgot to record myself beating Surge, but suffice it to say, Mew cleaned up quite nicely.

My emulator just crashed. I lost an hour of work.
Even though I played more than 10 hours, that hour I lost makes me both want to kill myself and stop playing. I think I'll pick the last one.
I always save often when using Emulators!
EDIT: Lt. Surge is done, be going through the Tunnel soon enough, be gone for the weekend, start back up Monday!
EDIT2: Mew is caught! Man, if I knew about this back in the day, regardless, my first ever EoFF Plays Challenge completed. Go me. xD btw, thanks for the help Monda ;)
This is the beginning of part 3. Shortly after obtaining Surf, I decided to be evil, just because I can. I now have everything in my arsenal that is necessary to bring this game from messed up into the land of retarded.
Trading away my male Nidoran for the game's internally traded female one. It was level 3. Max stats? Maybe!

Thats all for now, off to get the marsh badge next
I thought I'd just push through, you know. Get it over with, turns out it wasn't 1 hour, but three. I hate myself. How could I not save after that smurfing dark cave!
edit: pushed through anyway. Finally got further. Got my third badge and now in Rocket town.
Caught 1st Snorlax, and have FLY now. That'll make things easier.
Seems like I'm the slowest player here, I just emerged from Rock Tunnel. Anyway, I've obtained my third gym badge:
http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/9484/pokemon9.png
Yes, I'm using an old-school Gameboy color palette. Much more nostalgic. Oh, and every Pokémon on my team has evolved:

Hello 'Baribari'.
On to the S.S. Anne, with a bit of a twist.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...green_05-4.png
The captain is sick. Rubbing his back makes him instantly better. Right.
There's one person I didn't fight on the S.S. Anne. Let's fight her.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...green_06-2.png
You may be wondering why I had Mew transform into Rattata and let it get its ass kicked.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...green_07-3.png
heh.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...green_08-3.png
This is why. The ship has not sailed, and I have HM01. I do believe lom would say 'only true pros know about this'. You'll find out why later.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...green_09-3.png
On to the third gym.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...green_10-3.png
Well. That was an easy puzzle. I never left the first row.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...green_11-3.png
I still fight everyone anyway.

Ohhhh Noooooooo! (Note: Lt. Surge speaks a lot of Engrish in the Japanese version, as he, according to Bulbapedia, is an American who moved to Vermilion City or some weird :bou::bou::bou::bou: like that). Still...

Oh, my bag was full. Thanks for the tip, I guess.

Nah. Only newbies need Flash for Rock Tunnel. :smug:
On to Rock Tunnel! But first...

Let's check up on Jessweeee♪.
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...i/green_23.png
Not bad.
Eh, actually, I'm done for now. My party:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...i/green_24.png
Momiji /Mew Lv. 33 - Mega Punch, Transform, Metronome, Bubblebeam
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...i/green_25.png
Peegee /Pikachu Lv. 23 - Thundershock, Mega Punch, Thunder Wave, Quick Attack

Smitkit /Meowth Lv. 14 - Scratch, Growl, Bite, Water Gun
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...i/green_27.png
Hazuki /Ivysaur Lv. 24 - Tackle, Poisonpowder, Leech Seed, Vine Whip
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...i/green_28.png
Baribari /Mr. Mime Lv. 10 - Confusion, Barrier
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...i/green_29.png
ShlupQuack (unofficial nickname) /Farfetch'd Lv. 15 - Peck, Cut, Leer, Fury Attack
Wow, Mr. Mime and Farfetch'd! How did you get those so early. I forget if they're in there or not. You're playing yellow, right? I hardly remember. :(
I'm currently trying for ages trying to get Pikachu in Veridian Forest. I've gotten the other 5% chances like caterpie and metapod so many times it's not even funny...
Easy one. Get HM 01 and then loose a battle. You'll be in the pokémon centre and the ship hasn't left yet because there was no scene of it leaving. Or you get a pokémon with HM 01 cut via trade option (and I don't) so you don't need the ship. So you've lost a battle to see the legendary truck later.
Um. I did kind of point that out with the images.
Of course you have. But you have said "You'll find out later.", so I've just replied to mention the hidden truck thing.
Japanese Green Version = our Blue version, basically. You can get Farfetch'd by trading a Spearow to a man in Vermilion City, and you can get Mr. Mime by trading an Abra to a person outside of Diglett's Cave (Pewter City side).
I was kind of hoping to keep it, I dunno, a surprise to those who didn't know about it. (;´_ヽ`)
Oooh, I remember that now! I hope I can do that in Red.
Yep. Both of them.
So far, I've got every pokemon line (ie: I didn't catch metapod, but I have a caterpie) that the game offers, no matter how rare! And for once, I actually have them all leveled to about the same level, instead of going nuts on two pokemon and neglecting the rest! :jess:
A short update. Only played, like 15 minutes.

My stats after defeating Silph Co.
Little under-leveled, but I made it fine.
http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/4029/74138754.png
Oh! I would so play this but sadly I sold my Gameboy Color a few years ago when I got a shiny new DS. D:
I remember hacking Rare Candies with the Missingno trick and then screwing over the Elie 4. Good times.
Just caught me my first snorlax. :) Also, I've yet to use a single item on that list! :) Also 50 out of x amount of pokemon in Yellow.
EDIT: To Momiji attached picture numbah 2
Just got to Cerulean City since I didn't play last night; my current line up:
WATERSPORT (Wartortle)
BEEDRILL
BUTTERFREE (Kind of redundant since Beedrill is better at the moment - may switch him for a better pokemon soon.)
PIKACHU (My second most powerful pokemon!)
PIDGEY (I think he's about to evolve)
ODDISH
My accomplishment is that they're all pretty evenly leveled in the high teens, instead of me having some super Wartortle and weakling other pokemon. So far, I've not used Wartortle that much, I've been trying to play with status effects more. Between Pikachu's THUNDER WAVE and Pidgey's SAND-ATTACK, most of my battles have been cake.
I've actually beaten Pokemon Red with my starter Pokemon because I was too lazy to level up any of my other Pokemon. Blastoise pwned ALL. I had all of my old generation games in a container along with my old Zelda games, etc. but my sister decided it would be cool to loose most of them. So chyeah, now I'm gonna have to try to see if I can find my yellow, red, or blue cuz I definitely wanna participate in this.
YOU MADE ME A NIDORAN OMG are you psychic words cannot express how much i love that family of pokemon
nidorino is my all time favourite those guys kick so much ass wow qwert you have magic mind powers
Also i'm playing through fire red atm and i'm too lazy to restart on one of the originals. Just let it be known that red > blue.
Beat Koga and got half of the Safari Pokemon, pics will be up once I get the rest, don't expect it to be today as I have to do work now! :)
This thread inspired me to download and play Red. :D
Walking around, I met this guy again.

EDIT: Second Snorlax has been captured.
Bump, laptop has a virus, I have to reinstall the operating system, lose all my files, etc. So sad. Guess I'll be settling with the two challenges I got. Poor Lappy. :(
I've been busy with college stuff. :(
Too bad that SoulSilver comes out in less than 2 weeks. I'm gonna be all over that...
Why am I just now noticing this? I wonder if I can finish Pearl and start this up before HeartGold is released?

You take it easy:-*
I have no screenshots at the moment, but I played the original pokemon games WAY too much... Played around with Missingno a lot too.
Turns out you can catch a lvl 0 ditto with missingno (pretty badass). Also, teach Fly to your missingno then evolve it. Kangaskan's with fly are quite hard to come about xD
The final entry into a saga of love, despair, anger, bitter resentment, and maybe, just maybe a really hot twenty-two year old in glasses with a skirt that's up to just right about... here.

I swear this image wasn't prophetic. Please discount all similarities to any previous picture in which I challenged the validity of my rival. Seriously. I didn't expect this to happen. But I'm a real liar, too. I just wish I hadn't paralyzed him first; a single 100000 Volts was all it took, even with the level differential.

Took you long enough.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure everyone has lost all interest by now. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
Somebody should take this thing down now, this little fad didn't last very long and will most likely not continue. Plus I'm still better than everybody at Pokemon.
I hadn't played in a week. Unlike you, my gameplay log marks me at 22 hours, which is pretty damn fast.
New set of challenges accomplished.
Catching Mewtwo.
http://www.omgmygame.com/content/u12/pkmn_post_01.png
Leveling Charizard to 100. I did not dupe my Rare Candies (but I did dupe Max Elixers, Full Restores, and Max Revives, the Master Ball, and several TMs, including Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Psychic, Earthquake, Rock Slide, and Toxic)
http://www.omgmygame.com/content/u12/pkmn_post_02.png

Get one Pokémon to lv. 100 (NO RARE CANDY GLITCH)
Additional Tier 2 Challenges:
Beat the Elite Four with only 1 Pokemon in your party (does not have to be the first time)
Should we cycle this into a HG/SS EoFFPlays then?
I've already started playing that.
Either way, qwerty called 2nd gen. You can start it anytime, I suppose, qwert.
