AWKWARD ZOMBIE

[Citation Needed] wrote:First level 100 Pokemon I had in Gen. I was Mewtwo in Yellow Version. My older brother gave it to me because I was having a hard (impossible) time fighting the Elite Four.
And being the little idiot I was, I taught it Flash, getting rid of Flamethrower.

My Charizard knew Flamethrower, Cut, Strength, and Fly. Don't feel so bad, we've all done it.

I think the closest I've ever gotten to level 100 with a Pokemon that wasn't already a high level to begin with is my Swampert, which is in the 80s range. And once again he's only like that due to prolonged exposure to the Elite Four. :B

My Breloom will probably be the first to reach lvl 100 because she's the only one I take out in my Pokewalker regularly.

She's almost at level 80 now, which is as high as I've trained a Pokemon really.

Occasionally I'll look at a Pokemon and be like "HM. They'd be good with this many EVs in this stat, this many EVs in this other stats..." and then I get them the EVs and train them up to 100 and never use them again.

I'll chain shinies and never look at them again.

Oh hey Ponyta, I forgot you were still here. Whoops!

The first pokemon I got to level 100 was my Feraligatr in my first pokemon game, Gold version. After that I got a level 100 Charizard in FireRed and I have a level 92 Rayquaza in Emerald.

Meh. I don't do a whole lot of grinding.

I was replaying Silver again for the first time in ages not long ago and whilst I was grinding my team I came across a shiny Ratatta, but I had no Pokeballs since I used them all up trying to get a Gastly. ;A; I know I wouldn't have been able to do much with it, but still. Very irritating.

It's funny 'cause I got my very first legitimate shiny completely by accident. I was playing Sapphire and was going through some random patch of grass when my repel ran out, but I was only a few steps away from a grass-free zone, so I decided not to re-spray and just kept going, thinking it was unlikely I'd encouter a Pokemon.

And then a shiny Electrike popped up.

And I regret evolving it because it looked so much better as an Electrike

I remember beating the Elite in Silver about a hundred times. So I had some level 90 Pokemon there, but not level 100 for some reason. I only ever got Pokemon to that level by using the Missigno. glitch.

I wonder if my Silver copy still works. If I checked, I would probably be sad if it didn't, even though I wouldn't want to play it for long anyway.

Man, I remember when I played Pokemon for the first time! I didn't have any problems exiting my room or antyhing, but I didn't understand that I could heal my Pokemon at the Pokemon Center, or change their order. Neither did I get the whole buying items from the Pokemart-thing. For the longest time I couldn't get past Vermilion City because I didn't get that I needed to teach a Pokemon Cut.

(Finally my cousin helped me out, though.)

Thinking back, I just. Wtf self.

When I first started I had no idea how to catch Pokemon. :B I had one of those old strategy guides and read something about pressing A (but they were talking about that button-mashing "trick" when a wild Pokemon's in the ball), so I tried it in battle and just ended up attacking. :B Thank god for that grumpy old man in Viridian city.

...Apart from that I didn't have much trouble with the game. Although I looked at my old team on my Yellow version not long ago and my Pikachu is level 60 while the rest are around level 25 and below, so I assume I was one of those players who just spammed a single Pokemon so they ended up stupidly overpowered in comparison to the rest of the team. Which is a stark contrast to nowadays where I try to have all my team at a similar level.

Haha!
My old Sapphire and Emerald teams were like that.
Blaziken at level 80 or so, and the rest were just whatever I caught that was at the highest level.

Somehow when I was little, the first time I played Sapphire (yes it was my first) I knew how to do everything but catch the Pokemon. I thought that making them faint = capturing them, I didn't figure it out until later why I didn't have any Pokemon.

I can't even remember what my very first team consisted of. ._. All I know is I had a Blastoise and I beat the Elite Four while I was walking up town with my Gameboy Colour (and somehow not walking into everything). Why I remember that in particular is beyond me.

I bet you watched the anime.
"LOOK IT'S KNOCKED OUT/DEAD THROW A POKEBALL."
"LOL K"
"SHAKESHAKESHAKEDING"
"I CAUGHT ME A POKEYMAN"
In the games you have to be careful to catch them...

Yeah pretty much that was me.
My only Pokemon games up to that point had Pokemon Stadium, Hey You Pikachu, and Pokemon Snap

Never had Hey You Pikachu, but I wanted it.
Pokemon Stadium was used all the time. Mostly to play Red, Blue, and Yellow on the TV.
I had Pokemon Snap, too. Still have it, actually. And Stadium, but I can't play GB games since the pack thing broke.

I wanted Stadium 2, but never got it.
