Reminder: How to counter Dragonite

1) B/R/G & Y crappy AI
2) Venomoth >>>>>> Dragons

That was a fun week.

>This is the final boss
What was so great about gen 1 again?

I'm sad TPP got ruined by reddit

nothing really but had a tv show and had appealing design for kids. The West really didn't have too many go on an adventure with monster games before Pokemon, and Pokemon had multiplayer on top of that.

>Not playing Yellow

What once was an exercise in seeing a million monkeys with one typewriter could get so far became some watered down nightmare of strictures and exceptions.


Making rules ruins fun.

4 of those 6 were top OU metagame staples.

So I'm not sure what your point is.

The movesets. Rhydon, Exeggutor, and Arcanine did nothing.

Level is high but is fucking easy, I beat him with team lower of level 50

>Didn't get to the true endgame

>playing RBY in 2016

why

Go play a FRLG romhack that adds in the physical special split

Barry, as much of a faggy autist as he was, when his team was at full power, had the overall best NPC team in the series, including Red and any Champion teams or any Gym Leader/E4/Champion rematch teams.

Or just play SoulSilver since it's the most perfect game in the franchise.

>Those moves

Jesus

>Twitch Plays Pokemon was more than 2 years ago
God I miss it, it was fun

it was the surprise of seeing the fucker at the top and the shittalking the smug son of a bitch did right before the fight

>Exeggcutor only has three moves.

what's the difference between HG and SS, why do you think SS is the best of the series?

You don't have to see faggy Ho-oh on the SoulSilver cover/cart/start screen.

That alone makes it the superior version.

you still have to catch him at the tower though

Pretty much every Pokemon game has shit AI other than the cheating AI in Battle Facilities but Gen V and VI, but both are counteracted by smaller teams and VI giving you a bazillion ways to horribly overlevel yourself

Not if I kill myself first.

The moves were generated with the same algorithm for generating wild pokemon's moves.

Except that isn't true.

Game Freak picked those fucking awful movesets. They are preset.

Crystal Anniversary was a decent run at first. It was such a shame it became a democracy-ridden snore in the second half of the run.

And then democracy-mandatory locations start appearing in the postgame to rub salt in the wound. Who the fuck allowed this to be in the game?

Why not play an RBY romhack that adds in the physical special split?

Best part is they're still picking fucking awful movesets!

>level 49
>1 move
>1 move that locks you in and confuses you

Kekleon

>we could've gotten a hard mode if Z was made
>we could've had Own Tempo Petal Dance Lilligant
>Petal Dance Quiver Dance Lilligant

Fuck, we could have had Teeter Dance Spinda, Swords Dance Feather Dance Hawlucha, maybe Fiery Dance Volcarona or Rain Dance Ludicolo.

There's actually a ton of potential with a dance-themed team, how did they fuck this up that hard?

Blame Koolboyman for going too far.
Doesn't help that GOTTA CATCH EM ALL was the main goal, so democracy was inevitably going to take over.

At first I had no fucking clue what you were talking about.

Then I remembered fatty wanted to be a dancer.

Such memorable characters that gen has. Yeah.

>the only thing memorable to me about Wulfric, the last gym leader is him stating he could potentially be a huge fucking pushover
>which he was because Ice Types are fucking awful save for a select few exceptions that he doesn't use

Oh. It certainly did.

>he only has 5 pokemon
lmao

That Alakazam kinda redeems the team, though.

It is one Amnesia away from being touneyfag-tier.

Because the sprites will still be bad, the game will still be buggy, and it'll lack all the quality of life shit gens 1 and 2 added like different bag pockets.

>owned yellow
>never realized as a kid you could stock up on potions and use them in between champions
>first time beating elite four
>finish off lance with only my pikachu left at half health
>head to next room with blood still pumping thinking it's over
>oh shit
>use thunderbolt and thunder exclusively with dat pikachu speed to kill all his pokemon

man those were good times

>the sprites will still be bad

There are hacks that replace the sprites with Gen 2 sprites.

>the game will still be buggy

Almost all Gen 1 hacks made in the last 5 or so years have fixed most major bugs.


And not all Gen 2 features have been added yet but a lot have, I've seen held items and breeding implemented in hacks, and though I haven't seen a released hack with different bag pockets I know Red++ is going to implement it in a future version.

You should really play Red++ actually, it has like all those things.

>use thunderbolt and thunder exclusively with dat pikachu speed to kill all his pokemon
How the hell did you kill Rhydon?

By lying.
