Thought this part of the forum lacked a certain factor... It needs Pokemon!

Ja I've been playin a bit of Pokemon Fire Red on the GBA recently and it has brought me back to my Old Skool roots when I played Pokemon Blue. I love the fact that it has been updated a little bit and the same Pokemon are there (I listen to the FF7 boss battle theme as I write). I think to myself, why is pokemon so great? Thats a question I could ask you...

(Ooooh I think Im neglecting FF7!:think: )

The first Pokemon game was great cos it introduced a whole new type of RPG. Too bad the games after that were kind of rubbish compared to the first one.

Pokemon... I dont even want to know how much time I spent playing that..

It was fun as heck tho. They joy of capturing that chansey or scyther in red and blue, your first lvl. 100, seeing the look on your friends face when you beat his whole team with a pikachu and a vaporeon.

Good ol days.

Crap now I want to play an RPG.... damm you!XD

i may be 16 but i'm still gonna get the DS version when it comes out.

God i'm such a child at heart:heh:

It was quite a bit of fun. Especally when I compared my natural lvl 100 vensaur to a rare candy lvl 100 vensaur (godda love that glitch!). I can't help but wonder why the programmers didn't include a stable code for Missingno.

Hey I'm 17 and I'm going to buy the DS one. I like the game, but hate the anime.

The original Pokemon game was groundbreaking. Unfortunately, further attempts to do something radically new (Hey You, Pikachu!) have not been so successful...as a result, I think they've shied away from revolution and are going to stick to their original formula...

That's a shame, since I think Hey You, Pikachu! had promise, especially since voice recognition has improved since then. Imagine controlling your Pokemon in real time via microphone not to do minigames but to play the unabridged original adventure in full 3D...now THAT I wanna see on the Revolution ^^

I haven't played Pokemon for ages now, because my stupid little sister gave it to her friend to help clock the game. And she couldn't get it back because he has left the school. It's about 5-6 years ago. And it was the Pokemon Yellow version and I didn't get to complete it.x_x

I own silver and ruby and I played all the other ones.
I love pokemon!
But I over sleep all the time so I always miss the shows in the morning :>.<:
bleh xP

I used to watch Pokemon in the mornings as well(about 2 years ago), but now the program is soooooooooooo crap, I don't bother getting up at 7:30am on a Sunday to watch English dubbed animes.

i loved the first game, but found the mewtwo stupidly powerful. in an hour lunch break a battle can only last so long

Great game, such replayability

Man. I love these games. But, SHH, it's a secret XD

I had a super addiction to the Yellow one, I played it for over 200 hours to try to complete my pokédex. The problem was, I had no friends with the games to trade! I think I lost most of the games during the move, though, and it really bugged me. I put them all in a special shoebox but I don't konw where it is anymore. Maybe it's at my Nan's house...?

My favorite was the Mew glitch. All thanks to the game's hexa-decimal code. ^.^

yea the glitches were awsome. infinite master balls to catch everything rofl. nothing was left uncaptured. But if you captured missingno he messed up your saved data really really bad XD

i remember.. i got a book for christmas that told you how to cathch Missingno. but when i caught it did it really mess up the game? didn't for me but "glitch city" was a pain to get aroundkept freezing.. lol.. that was in yellow version right?

I own ever PKMN game for GB/GBA they made.... lol their just so addictive.
They were making them for DS weren't they...

i heard it was like pokemon dimond or something.... maybe that was a rumor does anyone know?

I remember i would force one of my pokemon to beat all the elite four by themselves and if they couldn't do it after three tries I set them "free" (meh we all know that button was meant to put them to sleep)

Missongno wasn't really a pokemon to begin with, it was just a glitch.

yea as his name says Missingno (Missing Number) Uh yea....... he eat your pokemon in the pokecenter >.<

My favorite was the Mew glitch. All thanks to the game's hexa-decimal code. ^.^

What Mew glitch was that? I haven't played the original Pokemon in a while.:heh:

dont have a clue, i got an offical mew, how sad am i ^_^
i have stadium 1 and 2(N64), blue(GB), red(GB), yellow(GB), silver(GBC), gold(GBC), saphire(SP) and fire red(SP)

I caught him once by accident... I was so mad.

But thats when I raised me pikachu.... it was teh bomb!

Yea you raised me well as did 100000000 other people ^-^ hehehe i remember the mew glitch also. Such a pain. If i remeber you needed to kill yourelf on the ss "w/e it was called" so that the ship never left.

What Mew glitch was that? I haven't played the original Pokemon in a while.:heh:
Here's what you've got to do, I swear this glitch works, I've done it myself:

You need to start a new game, get to Cerulean city, and beat everyone on Nugget bridge. Then make sure you have a Pokemon with Teleport or Fly (you could just catch an Abra). Go to the guy standing in the grass next to the bridge, but don't battle him. Walk into his view where you know he'll see you and challenge you. Before that little "!" appears over his head, though, press start and have Abra use teleport (or whoever you're using). Now your Start button won't work because the game thinks you're in a battle. Go to the Cerulean Gym and fight the first trainer. Then go back to Nugget bridge. The game will automatically pause. Exit the pause screen, and voila! A level 7 Mew will appear!

0.o... heh i like using the item glich so u get like 200 of each item ^^. i beat pokemon blue in like 5 hours when i was what 6 or 7. ^^ i was a nerd. Im also stuck in the glitch town, heh... i got stuck in water and the only way i can get out is to reset the game, surf and fly dun work anymore:cry:

lol i remeber. ahhhh those memories of tireless hours searching for new glitches. Also you know if you used cut on a tree and saved where it was youd get stuck inside the tree?

I hate you, now I feel the need to go check that out *goes in search of his red version* you have reintroduced me to my addiction!

haha XD i still have all meh pokemon games in me drawer with the rest of my gb and gba games

Remember when the pokecards first came out and you wanted to "collect them all", I spent so much precious money.

good days:lol:

I used to go to toys r us every saturday for like a a moth and a half.. I actualy got the 2 first badges.

yeah and there were those stickers too. man, i used to be obsessed XD

Stickers? we had stamps and badges.... I cant believe I would blow 5 bucks on 8 cards... I would buy atleast two booster packas a week.... I was an addict.

well everyone did, didn't they! yeah, there were cards, stickers, etc. there was pokemon everything, even stuff like lunchboxes. mind you, i got it cheap from hong kong, cause they used to rip us off in england!!

I meant at the tourneys.

But yeah...pokemon was my sole game for a while, I would hardly play anything else. so my bro couldnt get better than me.... lvl 100s in a week it was crazy.

pokemon is great because it has a high replay factor. when you finish the elite four, you don't stop there. you evolve, train and catch more pokemon to show off your friends. i started playing this game way back in 1998 and stopped last 2 years ago. got addicted to online games >.<

I'm just bored now.. so I'm playing Pokemon Colosseum...
I have a LV100 Ho-Oh, LV100 Espeon, LV94 Flygon, LV76 Salamence, LV85 Zapdos, and a LV72 Suicune as my team that I mainly use....

OH YEAH POKEMON
mind you, I don't care what you people think, I am open with my love of Pokémon. I play FireRed and Sapphire. And the kick @ss. Oh yeah.

Same here

To celebrate the release of Diamond and Pearl, I'm reviving this thread.

I have Diamond, and I just got the national dex on friday.

Ehh, I'd really like to get that but I don't have a DS. :bleh:

<< Gold trainer card right here, buddy!!

Pokemon Crystal version was pretty epic.

I'm gonna buy that next time I go to a GameStop or something, just for nostalgia's sake... :P

haha, a few years ago, me and my bro both had a game boy, and between us we had red blue and yellow. But what we did was I would start with charmander, then he would train squirtel up to level ten and trade it with me for like a weedle or something, then he would restart the game and do the same with me except for bulbasaur. :D That way I got to start with all the pokemon.

On Pokemon Red, I caught a Missing No. at Cinnabar Island and it didn't mess up my game. I have all lvl 100s mwahahhah.

My favorite thing about R/S/E is probably the Record Center... genius. And it helps a ton when training.

anyone here like mudkips?

My personal favorite is the Cyndaquil family.

the new pokemon diamond/pearl is pretty kool.

speaking of diamond and pearl. Since this version was my first pokemon game I am now hooked in to it. must get out of this out of this cult.

You said 'out of this' twice. o.O

oops.

I think the best game was Gold version. It was like Red and Blue but better. It wasn't like the newer ones. It still kept the elements that Red and Blue and added some new ones that worked.

I liked it because it was so incredibly long... I wish they would redo it for GBA or DS...

That would be cool.

I also think there should be a Pokemon game where you get to go to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh and get all 32 badges.

I'm getting re-obsessed with Pokemon. But it's totally different than my obsession when I was 8. Back then, I just loved ANYTHING that had to do with Pokemon. But sadly, I didn't get a game boy until christmas 2000, when I was almost 10. Now, I'm more into the fandom aspect of it. I'm writing a Pokemon fanfic right now, and I LOVE making custom Pokemon sprites! I might upload them so I can show you guys!

Really bored, so I'm playing Pokémon Colosseum for now. Trying to get all of my Pokémon to level 100 now, about 26 are at level 100. (This is not a cheat, it's training). Right now, I have a Dragonite level 67/68-ish...

I've been trying to save up my money to buy Pokemon Pearl/Diamond...

But alas, the bills have squandered that hope. T_T

I remember Pokemon, I played it for a full 24 hours, then heard of a glitch for Mew. I tried it, (it's SIMILAR to the one listed) but it only gave me a Nidoqueen. Now I'm going to try getting Mew again, and this time I hope it works.

I like starting a new game, going through 3/4 of the game, and putting all of my items and Pokemon (except something like a Ratata) on Pokemon Stadium. (I beat the gym leaders with a Caterpie [level 100])

Ahh...so fun...

-Distracted by Bobobo-

Lol, reminds me of when I use to play Gold and Silver.. I had this cheat device specifically for pokemon.. It let you edit everything about your pokemon. I think it was called Pelican or something... But yeah, I had a level 100 caterpie as well. His name was "Dontstepon" lol. I taught him Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Surf, and some other random attack that I don't remember the name of. It was hilarious beating people with it. Lol.

I remember when I first got a pokemon card... it wasnt even a card it was a cardboard square w/ pictures of ash on it. I had cut it out from a lunchables box.
But now I'm into bigger things like Pokemon Colessium. So entertaining. But at one point I stopped playing the game and my brother, beat everything. WHY!
and later sold the game. I have never played a pokemon game since.

my in the works team

Milotic lvl 73
Garchomp lvl 58
Glaceon lvl 42
Togekiss lvl 42
Pupitar lvl 33
Dragonair lvl 31

If I do ever get a DS and Diamond or Pearl, I want to try to get a Gold Trainer Card without the use of a guide or AR of any sort. I almost did with my Emerald, but I didn't have enough patience to work out the Regi trick without a guide.

Another tip that keeps things interesting - use different Pokemon every time you play through the game! It's almost like you've never played before and are having to relearn everything, tis pretty cool.

(Weezing is surprisingly good.)

I haven't played Pokémon in ages! I love it though; one of the best games ever! I used to have the Yellow Version where Pikachu refused to go in his Pokéball like on the TV show.

I have Pearl now. Now I can say that I've owned every single mainstream handheld Pokemon game released in the US.

I don't really play it that much, actually. It was mainly for keeping my sanity while in hotel rooms in Italy with nothing to do. And on the airplanes...

Does anyone else have the ability to beat the Elite Four with extremely low levels? That happens to me on the first run through on every version I play.

...I can with steroided pokemon...

That was my favorite version too. I loved all the emoticons he would show! :lol:

hahaha! neone wanna battle on wifi? if anyone has D/P?

I would... if I had a connection. -_-

I love Pokemon!
But it seems to have gotten out of hand O.O;;
I mean, the first Pokemon were fun (And then I mean up to Deoxys, which is number 386), but... Don't you think they're getting a bit ahead of themselves? There are so many stupid names now... Diamond and Pearl are too much, I think.

But I love it anyway!! :D
Pokemon Yellow for GameBoy is totally cool. I love all of Pikachu's expressions! Especially when I'm at Bill's cottage XD

Someone that finally agrees with me. :lol: :heh:

Actually, I agree with the previous post as well. These neoteric Diamond and Pearl Pokemon are just... too incongruous for my entire liking. At first, they all seemed too fat, too disfigured, or a combination of those two. Although I sort of got used to some of them, I rather liked it when the Pokemon were based on living or mythical creatures, and not... desultory demi-creatures that have random, ludecrous protrusions. It's just too inane for me.

Also, I do not support the new evolves of the old Pokemon that are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN THE PREVIOUS FORMS.

i'm tryign to make super powerful psyducks lol use little cute innocent pokemons wihtout letting them evolve and PWN SUM BUTTS with my psyduck lol
