Poképlayers

I owned Red and Yellow during the days when Pokémon was popular, and then bought Gold when I had nothing to play on my GBC. I haven't bought any of the recent releases however, nor do I plan to.

I have Yellow and Silver. I haven't played either lately; I haven't had much of the desire to. Not to mention I have played neither Ruby nor Sapphire versions. However, the new updated versions of Red and Blue seem to have intrigued my interest a little bit. I may get me a copy.

Oh, and the original 150 Pokémon rule. The rest after that are all seriously not that impressive-looking. It's like they tried too hard or something.

As someone already posted, the anime really has gone downhill. The older episodes are really cool; the dialogue is so much better, not to mention it had much better acting than the more recent ones.

I stopped watching after Season 5 and to be honest, I don't know why in the hell I kept watching it for that long.

I've played Red/Blue, Gold/Silver, and Ruby/Sapphire and the games are really pointless.The fact that you have to level the little buggers really annoys me. The only reason why i've played most of the versions is for the sake of continuity.

And i like to add that Ruby/Sapphire's 3 set of legendaries are really stupid because its really hard to actually get them.Unless you have a working knowledge of brail you have to check a game guide on how to get them.

I welcome some of the new ones with no problem (like Houndour/Houndoom, Poochyena/Mightyena, Bagon/Shellgon/Salamence, and Beldum/Metang/Metragross), but I was never really interested in too many of the water types (which are the most common ones, of course).

My favorite types are ELECTRIC (favorite elemental), DRAGON (2nd favorite animal...although it never really existed), PSYCHIC (powerful), and DARK (ideal for fighting PSYCHICs with). STEEL is good too, but I like the others much better.

I also like most of the ones that somewhat look like wovles (1st favorite animal). If only they'd make a "wolf" pokémon...I mean, come on, they have "dog" (Growlith/Arcanine, Houndour/Houndoom, and, I think, Electrike/Manectric) and "hyena" (Poochyena/Mightyena), but no "wolf."

I have Yellow, Silver, Crystal and Ruby. I played blue and red on emulator so I'm looking forward to these remakes. I liked the original story more, because there wasn't very much of it. :p

Ruby was fun, but I got bored with it.

Dude i used to be soooo hard core on this. Once i beat the game and got my pokemon to lvl. 100 ty missingno. I started to battle players that would gather every Saturday at my local toys r us. I beat every1 Nintendo sent there as a "gym leader"(*Twice*) to play the kids, promote contests, and promote card buying etc. I beat the guy they sent sooo bad he only saw 3 of my pokemon team, and he only knocked out 1 of the 3 he saw, We were both full lvl. 100s with 6 pokemon each.

Thats how i got my Mew. I collected all 151 pokemon in the orignal game thats right 151 pokemon not 150. 152 if u count missingno, which is just a pokemon without a data set.

i was only beaten on the gameboy once by this kid with the "Iron Mewtwo" which had this awesome defense and "rest", i smashed his whole team without losing one, then he pulled out the Mewtwo, and i lost horribly. I beat him once i got my second Mewtwo, the first of many (* :D *). Including my lvl. 255 one.

Ive since retired, i probably should have went to a tournament and won some money... If any of u r ever in the Tacoma/Fife, Washington area i'd be glad to dust off my blue version, and send u crying to the Pokecenter.

(*j/king*)....

but im serious

Give me a PM!!!!

question, how could u get a lv255 mewtwo? to the best of my knowledge, Mewtwo could not appear above lv 100 when u surfed up and down cinniabar island using the missingno glitch. and seeing Missingno is bad enough. capturing him risks deleting your data.

u sound pretty good. i am also an ex Red veteran. i was fantastic, i even got 6 lv100 mewtwos. i was still only second in my school though. my friend Ryan was the best...i only ever beat him once...and that was with a lv 255 snorlax :eek: . i consider above lv 100 as cheating, so in essence i had 2 resign 2 being second best.

I play. My own favorites to use are:
Pikachu/Raichu - The best electric types as far as I'm concerned. And electric is my favorite type.
Bulbasaur/Venusaur, Charmander/Charizard, Squirtle/Blastoise: You need a balanced team, and while I've liked all the starters, the ones from Red/Blue are definitely my favorite starter set.
Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir: One of my favorite psychic types.
Celebi: I guess it's my fascination with time travel. That, and the fact that Celebi learns Recover, and is built like a tank, means he's almost never knocked out.

Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward for Fire Red/Leaf Green to come out. But I'm even more looking forward to my friends getting Ruby or Sapphire so I can battle with them.

I choose option #2 :p

I have red and I had yellow. I never really played em much. I pwn in stadium though.

i used 2 play. i finished blue with 150 pokemon, only got my blastoise and mewtwo 2 level 100 without rare candy's. then i actually beat silver before ne1 cuz it was imported. i now realize the difficulty in playing an RPG in a language u hav no clue how 2 decipher, rofl. i still beat it tho. i got my (don't know it's name in english) bakufan 2 lvl 100 b4 i used gameshark 2 catch all 250(?)

the thing that shocks me is it's addictive. even to this day. im still debating wether 2 get the new ones for gba, be-it that i won't have the slightest clue what's going on nemore :mad:

neway, yah, the thing that shocks me is, as an RPG, the graphics suck (they're okay, iuno about the new gba ones), there's almost absolutely no plot besides be better than ur rival, and yet we used 2 play til our thumbs turn blue! :eek: not only that, but i don't know ne1 who enjoyed the music, lol. plus, zero character development.

despite all those essential things missing in this tiny RPG, it's one of the most addictive ones out there!that says how gr8 pokemon is/was

I can't wait for FR/LG to build my all DARK team.

Mightyena
Houndoom
Tyranitar
Sharpedo
Sneasel
Murkrow

Some of those might be spelled wrong, but you get the idea.

I played a bit, but not a lot of the older Pokemon games on emulators, then when Ruby came out I played quite a lot of that on an emulator and really got into it, and I finally got round to buying it the other day. It's fun catching all the cute Pokemon aww, and levelling them up and stuff. The only thing I don't like about playing Ruby is how all the Pokemon are new ones. I WANT PIKACHU =(

Pikachu is in R/S. Check the Safari Zone.

All pokémon are programmed into the Ru/Sa games, but not all of them are catchable. You'll be able to trade them into Ru/Sa from FR/LG and/or Colleseum.

Also, like omnitarian alread mentioned, Pikachu can be caught in Ru/Sa in the Safari Zone. More specifically, in the Southern parts of the Safari Zone, but it doesn't appear often, and it's pretty difficult to catch sometimes.

I am the Pokemon Master! "I know everything" ~Shinra FFX-2 (worst... game... ever...)~

Seriously; I know all elemental weaknesses and resistances, all the best Pokemon, and have never been beaten by any opponent who wasn't a cheater. (CURSE YOU OLLY!!!!!)(CURSE YOU BATTLE TOWER!!!!!)

My Ruby Team is:

Aggron-Level 50
Salamence-Level 64
Flygon-Level 50
Skarmory-Level 53
Manectric-Level 51
Groudon-Level 65

(shift Lvl 64 Sal for Lvl 50 Sal in PC for Battle Tower)

My Battle Tower team moves are:

Sal (holding King's Rock): Brick Break(Fighting), Dragon Claw(Dragon), Flamethrower(Fire), and Bite(Dark)

Flygon (holding Shell Bell): Giga Drain(Grass), Crunch(Dark), Dragonbreath(Dragon), Earthquake(Ground)

Aggron (holding Leftovers): Rock Tomb(Rock), Surf(Water), Return(Normal), Metal Claw(Steel)

Seriously, try this and see how well you do! Of course, Battle Tower will rip you apart no matter what you do. There's always something that wipes the floor with me..... whores. :mad:

I just wish you could trade from Red/Blue/Yellow to Ruby... then I could trade my Mew and Mewtwo over. That's right, you can capture Mew in the wild in the original 3 games!
