Yeah I guess you're right, ahaha. With that one I kind of asked myself "how much do I want to hate my water type" and settled on "not at all." Though, I was close to putting Hyper Beam on a Kingler and going to town with that.
With Golbat, I was mostly referring to the fact that every time I saw one, I was waiting for it to use Acrobatics and completely ruin my day. I'm really glad Zubat and co. got some love in the later generations.
Yeah he broke in, battled Giovanni for the badge and just decided to hang around as he saw Red in Saffron City and knew that he would eventually make his way up.
Personally I like to believe that Blue made a deal with Giovanni that he gets the badge without battling him but in return he has to either slow or stop Red from reaching Giovanni and when he lost he really didn't care about Giovanni as he had all the gym badge and can head off to the elite 4.
Yep, Yellow really shows this well when he pushes you and steal the Eevee.

Wow, seems like people are really finishing this underleveled. Makes me wonder if I should bother trying to get a Dragonite in this game or if I should just go with another monster.

I like how Koga says "now prepare for my poison and sleep tactics"
But he lacks a Pokemon that can even learn a sleep inducing move.
I'm going to assume he was going to use Venomoth or Vileplume at some point.

My average level was 45 when I beat the game yesterday. Blastoise was a monster with Surf and Blizzard though, he was level 50 by the time I was done with it.
Your rival is actually kind of nice to you in most places though. He's always giving you hints on where to go next.
Also I forgot how broken wrap is in these games. It's a little absurd.
Which team did you use?
Pikachu / Blastoise / Charizard / Venusaur / Primeape / Mew.
Dumb AI and garbage enemy movesets makes the endgame pathetically easy. If you want a Dragonite before the E4 you will pretty much have to grind specifically to evolve it.
Pikachu is a rare encounter in Viridian Forest and can be evolved with a Thunderstone from Celadon Department Store.
I think you can also find them more commonly in the Power Plant, but you need surf for that.

Wonder if that's why Sabrina has one, someone misplaced it or something. Koga has Venomoth in Yellow and Gen 2, so they clearly thought about it.
Serebii's Pokedex is currently pretty good at this, with a few errors as it's been recently updated. That should help you enough.TheMink said:

What's weird is he says the line in FR/LG as well, even though his FR/LG team is the same as R/B, so it lacks any sleep moves.

Serebii is your friend:
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex/
But, yeah, Pikachu shows up 5% of the time in Viridian Forest.
It also doesn't learn Thunderbolt through level up in Red/Blue, so unless you have an attachment to Agility, you should evolve as soon as you find a thunderstone.
Fake Edit: I need to type faster or something, I've been beaten hard. Still, Pikachu's level-up moveset ain't great; it relies a lot on TMs, so keep that in mind.

I usually use Bulbapedia.
Yup, me too. I used Bulbapedia for my doubts with locations and moves for this playthrough.
Nah Blue is just a bad trainer, I used an unevolved Eevee on my Yellow team he kicked his Alakazam's ass.

Might as well keep him in his Pikachu stage just in case they ever decide to release Pokemon Stadium on the Virtual Console.

Is Onyx a better choice?
Same, it's been my go to guide for like a decade.

Onix has a good defense stat. It'd be great if that was the only thing that mattered. Honestly, I'd keep Geodude, that line is really good in these games.
If you can get a Golem that ould be great otherwise graveller doesn't seem too bad. You can go Rhydon instead though
Yeah I'd keep Geodude or use a Rhydon. Since you cant get a Golem ( unless you have someone to trade with)

You find him in an area that's locked off from the rest of the building. He can't leave until you open the door for him. I always took his talk of waiting for you as just empty bravado to save face.
But, thinking about it, I'm probably wrong. Oh well.

Kadabra is a monster. Crazy special atk and speed.
I'm trying to get my girlfriend into playing and she just won't even try. She says the graphics look too bad and there isn't enough variety for her.I'm bummed, she loves the DS games and pre ordered Sun...
What should I do to convince her it's worth it? Already told her about glitches, Pokemon bank, etc. she won't even give it a shot
People who force other people to like/play games kinda suck...don't be that guy. You're better than that.

I feel like such a dummy. Just picked up Yellow about two days ago. Started getting into it and got stuck at Mt.Moon, didn't realize that I could use the stairs behind the hiker on the 1st floor. This whole time I thought I was needing to activate an event to get him to move, and then I realized I just needed to walk up from behind and use the stairs.
There goes an hour of game time.

I remember him being a pain in Pokemon Stadium with his annoying stomp move.

Tauros and Normal types in general were monstrous in Gen 1. They're only weak to Fighting and the only easily teachable/competent Fighting move is Submission, which has recoil damage. Rock was supposed to balance them out, but they gave most Normal types access to either Bubblebeam or Ice Beam/Blizzard. People talk about Psychic being the overpowered type, but Normal in Gen 1 was almost as bad.
Which is why Steel type was brought in to put normal type back in their place.

Yellow or Red/Blue? Red/Blue is the patch of grass near nugget bridge, yellow is the grass near the daycare which requires you to talk to Bill first.
