I used to absolutely adore Pikachu back when Pokemon cards and the show were all the rage at school, but after actually playing a few of the games... I don't know. I really like Charizard since I have such fond memories of raising him from a Charmander and then beating the crap out of any opponent that dared challenge me, but then my copy of "Blue" erased itself and my progress.

That usually happens because the internal memory battery dies. Taking apart the cart and replacing the battery with a soldering iron should fix that.

Twilight Wolf

I know, and I know the procedure, too. (Haven't done it before, but I've learned how just in case I ever wanted to.) However, I played it again after that (started a new file) and it was okay... might still be. Haven't checked in years.
What, you expect me to say something witty?

The Glamour Nazi

I hated pokemon yellow. It was stupid. I boxed pikachu quick.

darkphantomime

Aww... why you do that?

Maybe they should have included the ability to catch wild pikachu because MAN. You could never get a Raichu. :(

The Glamour Nazi

I love me A raichu tho. I know the reason they made Yellow and it's stupid. People thought the games should be more like the show. YOOHOO Games came first people.

Every pokemon (Aside from magikarp that is...) has a use and specialty. You just have to train it properly with the right moveset. You'd be surprised at the movesets people have given to rare and common pokemon alike to make them extremely useful in given situations.

Case in point: Wobbuffet.

Anyway, for me, do I really need to say it? :P



Advanceshipping and Rion had better be Chuck Norris approved.

The Glamour Nazi

No, You need not. Wobbuffet Kills, OMG like the best trick pokemon ever. It's ability gives it power of a exotic pokemon.

Fishalicious

Magmar and Electabuzz never really looked like pokemon to me, personally- neither do Dialga or Palkia. They look like digimon or something. It's odd.

OH. AND I ALMOST FORGOT NIDOKING. I love Nidoking. And Aggron.

2 other favorites of mine are Starmie and Rotom. They both have a nice mix of types (water and psychic, and electric and ghost). Although, It is a pain in the buttockses to get and train rotom. You have to beat the champion, so that you can get him at level 15. He needs less EXP  than average pokemon, but it's still very annoying to get him up to lv. 70 like the others.

It's almost impossible to catch him too. You go there with a team of like level 70's and can't attack or it'll die...  :-X

Those only work well for 3 turns. I caught it with an ultra ball. Luckily a had an excess of money and bought over 100... Rotom isn't an Exotic BTW.
