Did they get rid of Jigglypuff in Red of what? I can't get one to pop up at all. It's all Pidgey and Spearow.

1% encounter rate or some shit

It has a 10 percent appearance rate. Keep hunting.

 

[DecoReturns]

How do you get Mew again, I forgot the steps, all I remember is Abra and teleport

 

[Velcro Fly]

Fuck that level 16 Raticate

Sent stuff out against it to soften it up and die and Pidgey killed it and took all the EXP

I saved beforehand and I'm just going to fight it again. 400 exp will not go to waste!

 

[Jaagen]

What's the encounter rate for Pikachu in Viridian forest in RED? I remember getting him back in the day, but that it took a while. I haven't been able to stumble upon him yet.

Just a very small % chance of appearing in Vridian Forest. That's partly why it became so popular

It's very low ( I think 5%).

I'm going to try my best to catch that little fucker. He's going to be very effective against Misty.

I would say the popularity is primarily due to the anime. It came out in 97 just a year after release and was already in production rather shortly after the initial release.

 

[Amory]

Should I go ahead and use a moon stone on Nidorino at level 17, or should I wait?

Just got one! Right before the cave.

Sleep so OP

My team right now is
Charmander
Jigglypuff
Pikachu
Nidoran
Paras
Magikarp

Parasect might just be my favorite Pokemon, so I think I'm gonna catch an Ekans (start a wrap battle, yo) to replace Pikachu and call it a day. Good type coverage and cheapo strategies.

One page back.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Pewter City Pokemon Gym
Leader: Brock
Winning Trainers: Gary, Ash

I always think it's funny that literally 2 trainers have ever beaten Brock or any of the others if the pillars at the front of the gym are to be believed.

Well I'd imagine Pikachu's became one of those widespread rumors gossip in the community as it grew, and it being a cute fat rat definately made him popular amongst lots of people. Probably why they ended up going with pikachu for the anime instead of another mon like eevee.

Obviously the anime launched him to world wide phenomenon he is.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Should I go ahead and use a moon stone on Nidorino at level 17, or should I wait?

I would say go for it. Nidoking learns Thrash at level 23, which is better than most of Nidorino's moveset.

 

[DPtheGod]

Hey guys,

Can someone remind of the process/glitch to be able to get Mew in Yellow?

I played this game like 18 years ago!

 

[The Shadow Knight]

It's very low ( I think 5%).

AFAIK Pikachu is in the 1% slot.

 

[OminousShadow]

Damn, its gonna be a trip playing through Pokemon Red again after so long.

 

[Jaagen]

AFAIK Pikachu is in the 1% slot.

That low, huh. Where's the easiest place to get him? I'm going to try a bit more, but I might just give up and move on.

EDIT: GOT HIM!

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Should I go ahead and use a moon stone on Nidorino at level 17, or should I wait?

Yep. Double Kick and Horn Drill really aren't worth it.

Although it might be worth waiting until after Misty if you haven't beaten her yet, because Nidoking picks up a water weakness.

 

[Zalman]

If he's playing Yellow, he already has Double Kick. I evolve my Nidorino right away. It's funny. When I enter Mt. Moon, I have a Nidoran, but I always come out with a Nidoking!

 

[Loris146]

Power Plant.

 

[Forkball]

Got a Clefairy in Mt. Moon with my last Pokeball. Take that, 1% encounter rate!

 

[-shadow-]

It's very low ( I think 5%).

And it's the first Pokémon I come across in the forest! Very happy with that!

 

[Easystride]

Man, I want to get this for nostalgia, but don't want to drop $200 on a 3DS. Is the 2DS a good choice?

 

[Shizuka]

I'm happy with my Pikachu and Mankey so far, I'll stick with them until I get Bulbasaur and Mew.

 

[Svafnir]

I wish I could go back in time and experience the magic of pokemon for the first time again.

I also wish they released the gba remakes for wii u.

 

[DPtheGod]

It is for Pokémon!

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I have a 2DS and love it, the shape and button placement is far more comfortable for larger hands than the folding ones.

 

[Amory]

I would say go for it. Nidoking learns Thrash at level 23, which is better than most of Nidorino's moveset.

Yep. Double Kick and Horn Drill really aren't worth it.

Thanks, got my Nidoking

Man I love Rattata/Raticate. My favorite early game pokemon. Hyper Fang might be my favorite move.

 

[nubbe]

2DS is more practical and feels better

 

[Forkball]

Holy hell I barely beat Jesse and James in Mt. Moon. I only had a Pikachu left with 5 HP. THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE JOBBERS.

 

[Trago]

OMFG Route 4 music! My gut! It hit my gut!

 

[Heropon]

My Rattata is thrashing everyone in Mt. Moon thanks to that wonderful water gun TM and Hyper Fang. In a gen full of shitty movesets that attack shines.

 

[kiguel182]

This thread is making me want to buy it.

Fuck it, I'm buying Pokemon Yellow and replaying it for the first time in 16 years (not 20 but whatever).

 

[Nocturnowl]

Yellow's Route 22 is such an early game gold mine, Mankey, both Nidoran, Spearow and the route 1 chumps to round it out.

 

[Zalman]

OMFG Route 4 music! My gut! It hit my gut!

Best track in the game.

 

[poncle]

Been watching some videos and, putting nostalgia aside, it looks way too blurry and dark to be enjoyable

 

[Shizuka]

Did anyone actually pull through with the Magikarp before Mt. Moon?

 

[Nocturnowl]

No lies detected.

Gotta use that HM05.

Or just get Yellow version for that colour.

 

[daxy]

I wish I would have known about the trick to instantly max Pikachu's happiness level as a kid. Would have made getting Bulbasaur in Cerulean that much easier.

How do you do this?

edit: nevermind, found a video. Amazing! Never knew about this.

 

[Shizuka]

How do you do this?

Spam Potion on a fully-healed Pikachu.

 

[sgjackson]

Did anyone actually pull through with the Magikarp before Mt. Moon?

i did for laziness reasons

currently just met bill - team is

lv. 16 spearow
lv. 17 oddish, wartortle
lv. 18 pikachu, nidoking

honestly felt like a sucker when i got this, as i was going to pass and only ended up getting it because you can upload mons from rby into sun/moon, but i'm actually having a ton of fun so far.

 

[kiguel182]

Also, I'm doing a run like I would do if I was a kid. No glitches or going for Mew or whatever. Just playing the game fresh.

 

[Jaagen]

What's the Magikarp before Mt. Moon? Don't you get the old rod in Cerulean?

 

[PreyingShark]

Man, I want to get this for nostalgia, but don't want to drop $200 on a 3DS. Is the 2DS a good choice?

Went from XL -> 2DS a couple months ago.

No regrets.

 

[L95]

There's a guy that sells a magikarp to you for money.

 

[kiguel182]

I wish I had the XL to play with the border. The 2DS's screen is too small.

 

[Lux R7]

there will be any speed-up option like in Pokemon Stadium's virtual game boy?
