I started playing Yellow today ... Did you start red, yellow, or blue. what were your starting 6 Pokémon?
I actually had a hard time at brock, I needed to find Mankey and actually level up Nidorino.
Just beat Brock....
My starting 6:
Pikachu
Spearow
Caterpie - Metapod - Butterfree
Nidorin(m) - Nidorino
Rattata
Mankey
In my bank: Pidgey, Nidorin(f)
Yellow 4 life. I don't remember my starting 6, but this was my final 6:
Alakazam
Lapras
Snorlax
Jolteon
Gengar
Venusaur
I have a mew in my blue, got it without using a gameshark or moving any trucks.
My first team when I got to Brock was usually A charmander, a pikachu, a Nidorino, a pidgeotto (In blue you can catch lvl 6 pidgeottos in the forest).
If I didn't have a nidorino I usually had a mankey.
Blue.
I don't remember - I seem to envision it thusly -
started with Charbusaur
got some bugs
got gengar
won matches.
I remember having to use Mankey's lowkick and Nidorino's double kick to beat Brock in Yellow. Good times.
I'm not one to switch my team around too much in pokemon games. I'll stay with 1 or 2 pokemon and keep them high level until I find another good candidate. When I last played blue, Squirtle and Geodude got me through a good amount of the game. Blastoise's icebeam OHKO'd everything Erika threw at me. Then I got Eevee and evolved it into Jolteon, got a staryu and evolved it into Starmie, and caught Snorlax when I could. My last is usually Zapdos.
So in Blue/Red it's usually Squirtle, Geodude, Eevee (Jolteon), Starmie, Snorlax, and Zapdos. Also a pidgey or something else to be an hm slave when I need it.
I started with Red because I always viewed it as the superior of the first two games for no real reason, but my starter on that game was Squirtle. When I got Blue, my starter was Charmander. I've always thought that was kind of funny for some reason.
Yellow was definitely my favorite of the 3, though. That first battle is really hard considering you start off with Pikachu. I'm pretty sure I got a Nidoran for that fight, but I can't remember my starting 6 Pokemon.
Pokemon Red was my first Pokemon game. I got it to match my brother's Pokemon Blue.
I will never forget the day my brother showed me this article in Nintendo Power about a strange new upcoming game called "Pokemon" and how fun the article made it sound. We were excited about Pokemon before it was even a thing. :)
Glitch. And it is yellow where you get Pidgeottos. I have something like Starter Butterfree Pikachu. More is not necessary. Buy a Magikarp and you have Gyarados before Misty.Quote:

How on Earth could that ever be topped?!
Yeah, Yellow Version is super overpowered.
I really want to get a 3DS and some Pokemanz games. :(

Machamp is only good for bukkake competitions. Charizard, Venasaur and Blastoise are good for playing Pokemon games.
It's at this point I scrub my mind and walk away.Quote:

I've never played Red/Blue/Yellow though. I did play LeafGreen.
Pikachu is the worst starter in the series
Squirtle is second-best (Totodile 4 lief)
Charizard is how to roll because then you can get a Vaporeon (best of the original Eevee evolutions) to be your water poke and preferably a Victreebel to be your grass poke
Vice-versa.Quote:

I kinda remember the very first team I ever used, it was something like this:
- Pikachu
- Chansey
- Pidgeot
- Gyarados
- Kadabra (SOO fustrated that I didn't know how to evovle it xD)
- Starmie
The annoying with this Kadabra is that you have to trade to evolve it. When I played my Red, I couldn't trade it (because I was too embarrassed that I was playing a pokemon game) and I'm pretty sure my friends didn't play it either.Quote:

I traded Kadabra with my brother to get Alakazam, although to be honest sometimes I didn't bother because Kadabra was already OP as is. You hardly even need to evolve him.
I had both Red and Blue and two Game Boys. ~No friends needed~
I know, but I'm a completionist who likes as good a pokedex as I can. Having gaps in it infuriate me, often to the point that I just quit and play something else instead :p I don't think I've yet to actually finish a game yet.Quote:

Man I was sooooooo tempted to do this but this was back when I was a poor school-bot with no money. :(Quote:

Man, this reminds me how crazy easy it used to be to complete the pokedex, and also how awful exp all was.
I gave up on the Pokedex after my battery died mid-save and deleted everything one time when my Pokedex was like 140. After that I couldn't be bothered anymore.
well, one of the Game Boys was my older brother's which i borrowed for the sake of the PokedexQuote:

I was fortunate enough in that scenario. I was able to use Diamond effectively a support slave to my Platinum, harvesting the starters from it and transferring them to my Platinum, among other things.Quote:
