Tussell Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It seems like the Pokémon Platinum thread was a bit of a hit, but I feel as though that thread was meant for something else other than discussion about the game series in general... I made this thread because it seemed like it was a popular discussion piece Pokémon Red. What did you guys start out with, Pokémon wise? Who was your first Pokémon, etc.?

antnie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ah the good old days of pokemon, I can remember buying my pokemon blue and my gameboy all in the same night over at a target. My first pokemon was Squirtle. I beat blue to the full extent, 151 pokemon, including Mew. To be truthful I still play pokemon Diamond and I can't wait till Platinum comes out.

wammy71 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I was/am a big fan of the Pokemon games (points at avatar) especially the ones for the Gameboy. Gold is still my favorite but red was really fun. I can't wait for platinum to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exo-apollo Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 First one I got was Yellow. I remember managing to catch them all, which was a pain trying to get Snorlax and those ones that wouldn't evolve unless you transferred them to another gameboy.

GUNSLiiNGER Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 i was a HUGE pokemon fan back in the day. I think my first game was red version and my first pokemon was charmander. My favourite game though would have to be the crystal and leaf green versions of the game. I haven't played the newer versions but they look fairy good. The game was so addictive though, i spent hours on end trying to catch the differnt types of pokemon and collect all the badges. But by far my favourite pokemon would have to be mew which i attained wile at a pokemon trading card game at a locale toys R us, some guy had duplicates of the pokemon and was trading them to people in our little card tourny.

Tom115 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I had Yellow which I loved then I got Gold which I loved even more and I played it for years... I had 346 Pokemon... I think... 4 less than the max anyway. And like hundreds of Level 99's and my save corrupted!!!!!! Gutted I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tussell Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 My save file became corrupted as well, only it was on my original Red version. It made me so made because I had gotten so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I feel your pain, but even worse than that my friend maxed out the timer 999:99, then once it went back to 1 hour and something, the battery died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't he just change the batteries in the back? I don't understand how it messed stuff up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booij Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Can't he just change the batteries in the back? I don't understand how it messed stuff up... If he changes it, he loses his file. But you can still play it when the battery is dead, but you cant save anymore. Anyway, pokémon blue was my first game, and I think it's one of the best games ever. My first pokémon was squirtle, and I got level 36 blastoise at the 6th gym, forgot name of town, with Sabrina. I always tried to avoid the trainers for some reason.. Later I stepped over to red and got 151 pokémons and later I got 151 pokémons in blue too.. Then I got Silver, and I was so happy.. First pokémon Cyndaquill. My brother got gold, but when we went on vacation that summer, we lost that one. Ive never got every pokémon on silver though, mainly because I couldnt get the ones on gold anymore.. and later on, the save file got corrupted. Then I bought ruby and Sapphire, and I was quite angry when I completed it and heared you couldnt trade pokemons. Eventually I quit with that one and started play red again, and the battery died. A couple of days later, blues battery died too. Then I bought emerald and I got 200 pokémons since then. I still wanna buy a DS for pokémon platinum.. I actually bought a DS, but my DS never arrived.. Damn ebay! /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cacky Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I heartz Mudkipz! Seriously though, Pokemon Silver is the best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperNova X2X Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The original Pokemon games were amazing. I wasted countless hours on that game. My first one was Pokemon Red, and Charizard was my first Pokemon. But then after Gold/Silver it didn't seem so great anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordvader178 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Tussel....pokemon...head.....exploding...... Anyway, Pokemon will always be my favourite game of all time. I got the diploma for catching all the pokemon, i felt so achieved. It took about a year, but i loved it. Then Silver came out, and it was so good. Sapphire, not so much, then pearl, i didn't even bother. I think i will come back into this topic regularly, and check it. Why? BECUZ I FR3@K1n LUV DA POKEMANZ!!

Tom115 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Oh I had Sapphire too but I didn't even bother to complete that because it was so crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otisbum Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Started off with the Red version and picked Charmander for a start. This was actually my first "RPG" at that point in my life, and I loved every moment of it. My mom promised me that she'd buy me the Blue version after I beat Red, and that promise was kept. I eventually got all 151 on Red (thanks to the help of Poke cloning in Silver and someone who had a Mew), but since then I let my brother restart the game and play. Turns out even though he'd been playing a lot of Gold, Crystal, Sapphire, Emerald, and Diamond or Pearl, he'd never started when the series was at its prime (Silver is closely behind Red in my tastes). Between the two of us, we've had just about every game save Pearl and Platinum, though I never played past the RubySapphire generation. Throughout all the Poke games, I typically pick the fire starter in all of them, favorite being Torchic-Blaziken. Fire+Fighting is so bad ass. If I can manage to find a decently priced used DS and manage to get a job or some birthday money, I'll definitely be getting that and Platinum.

EvilManDeadMan Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I had Red Version first, but Blue is and always will be the best version of Pokemon. And no matter which version i played, Squirtle was my first pokemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroJoe90 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I played them all up until Ruby when i kinda lost interest, i started to get confused with all the new pokemon and types/combinations they added! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper iuno Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Did you say pokeman? My first game was Red, my pokemon of choice was Bulbasaur. I mean come on, some vine wips on a little tyke of a creature can be very useful My favorite pokemon is unchosen, there are so many cool ones out there now. I liked Yellow version though. Having Pikachu able to follow you and you can get all the others. Nice! =] A remake of Yellow would be awesome. For DS or GBA =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom115 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 How did you even get a Mew? I got mine off a mate but I never actually worked out how to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flak Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I remember seeing some kids playing it at school, then a few weeks later I got a blue GB Pocket and Pokemon Red. My brother got Blue to go with it. I'm not sure which one I started out with but man that game was fun. I still have my tattered official strategy guide.

msdmario Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 How did you even get a Mew? I got mine off a mate but I never actually worked out how to get it. There is a glitch in Red and Blue version where you can legitimately get Mew. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYzFeE6MyX4&feature=related]Check out this video.[/ame] If you follow the instructions correctly on this video, you should encounter a Level 7 Mew like in the video. This glitch is legit unlike the bullshit Mew under the truck rumor that I heard a lot back in the day. Back to the main topic, I started out with Blue version and I still play the mainstream Pokemon games to this day. I usually pick the water starters since they are usually good beating the first gym. Nowadays, I do two things in the mainstream Pokemon games. That is either completing my Pokedex in each generation and competitive battling. I probably killed so many hours from just playing all those games after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyper666 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Jesus H. Today's been very nostalgic for me.. I had Red so it seemed natural to start off with whoever the guy was that evolved to Charmeleon and then Charizard. I loved that game so much I must have logged at least 200+ hours on it. And the last boss battles where you win the tournament and then have to fight Gary I got so pissed off and broke my Gameboy, it was 2 years before I finally got a new Gameboy and finally finished it.. seemed so long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonW94 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I've had full pokedex in EVERY pokemon game so far, I am extremely sad and even own 2 DS's just so I can trade pokemon across from diamond to pearl... In my list includes: Pokemon Stadium and follow ons All Gameboy and DS pokemon games EXCEPT pinball, I'm working on getting the max score possible on that atm, it's extremely hard...
