Pokemon yellow

>pokemon yellow
>try to use electric attacks on onix but it doesn't work

In the anime the Onix was soaked with water, you can't do that ingame since there is no "wet" status effect.

funnily enough you can do that now because of the move soak, which turns the opponent into a water type

Yeah I know, I'm saying the status effect doesn't exist in Yellow.

Well fuck

Absolutely great thread.

So... Using enviroment Ash invented Soak? Wow

quiet

When will I be able to continually dunk my Sandshrew in the pool to make him resistant to water?

Eat shit

Right after your cat pokemon learns to talk

I'm so disappointed we never saw that trainer again. He finally goes on his journey for badges and that's it. Not even a Pokemon League fight at Indigo Plateau or in Johto for call back reasons.

>Pokemon yellow need build one good team to first gym because pikachu is useless,overkill on second.

Literally all you need is catch a Caterpie in Viridian Forest and you can streamroll Brock's gym.

>First time playing Pokemon
>Use Pikachus electricity attacks like in the Cartoon on Brocks Pokemon
>doesn't do shit
>Pikachu dies a cowards death
>use other Pokemon which barely deal any damage because I don't know shit about attack types

>It has only one HP bar left
>on my last Pokemon too

>It has no effect anymore
>Rock Throw
>Lose 1HP each round until I lose

And just because I didn't know how to use the PC and transfere Pokemen

That's not the ending I was hoping for. I was hoping you were going to say you spammed Sand Attack with Pidgey and got a clutch miss and lived the fight with 1HP. You should change the story the next time you post it.

I was a dumb kid and had my parents buy me an $80 gameshark to beat him.

>onix is so pathetic even electric types can handle it

Is there any other pokemon as lame as onix?

>onix is so pathetic that its special can't handle charmander using ember despite resisting it

Watch who you call ugly in school cause ima rape you bitch

>one of the worst megas
>sp def is still shit

oh i'm real fuckin scared

if i use soak on a fire type. will it still be super effective if use water gun?

>onix has equal offensive capabilities to that of an armless axolotl that's not even 2 feet tall
>onix is outdamaged by a 4 inch tall tick

Mega Steelix sucks shit, you could have posted his GSC sprite since he was actually pretty solid with curse in gen 2

Why does GayFreak hate Onix/Steelix so much anyway?

an employee snaked them

>Think for like 15 years that rock types are immune to electricity because of the anime
I didn't find out until I used Thunderbolt against Lance's Aerodactyl so I'd lose faster on a shitty fight that rock has no resistance to it whatsoever

Currently playing Throwback (romhack of FireRed with only Gen1 and Gen2 Pokemon and a lot of QoL changes from later gens, GB Sounds item and some other stuff).
Picked Charmander as starter, thinking what the rest of my team should be.
Gengar is a lock since it's one of my favourites even if he isn't that good in Gen 3.
Lapras will be my Water one with Surf.
Thinking about making Zapdos my electric and also make him my Fly slave while at it.
That leaves 2 spots to fill in, any recommendations? No other legendary please.

holy shit I remember how fucking shit the first arena battle was in yellow.
you had to grind your pikachu to learn the sand attack so Onix would constanly miss with his tackle and then grind its health with your own tackle until you almost ran out of AP. there was no way to catch a pokemon that actually could do damage against this fucker.
the game was fucking easy as soon as you had charmander, this shiggy and bulbasaur.

only the anime bothers to make steelix not shit

>not knowing about dual-typing
It's Onix's ground that makes him resistant, not rock.

just get a mankey you fucking mong.

>rock
was always part ground. did your mother drop you on your head or did you eat too much glue?

>way to catch a pokemon that actually could do damage against this fucker
You can whittle him down with Weedle's poison, out-tank him with Metapod and straight up rape him with Mankey.

My nigga Marowak
Unless you don't want to farm for a thick club which I don't blame you for
Otherwise Dugtrio

>99% of the pokemon that can learn soak are water types that gain no benefit from the opponent also being water type
>literally the only use is on stallbreaker sets like pyukumyuku so that toxic hit poison/steel types

Of course I fucking knew about dual types, but the anime always made it seem like it was because he was a rock, and it just stuck with me because Yellow was my first game and I barely ever use rock types because they're all terrible

Why is the animation so amazing while Dragon Ball Super looks like the worst thing I've seen in anime in a very long time?

>Marrowak
NOPE, as for Dugtrio, I hate that aussie fucker.
I was thinking more in line of some grass rep since I don't have any. Victribeel or Vileplume? Or a bug one with Pinsir or Scyther?
How's Machamp in Fire Red?

>get nidoran
>win every fight ever because nidoran's disgustingly OP

>mankey
my autism commanded me to beat onix with pikachu because of the anime.
also I hated that ugly ass pigface pokemon.

>I barely ever use rock types because they're all terrible
Omastar, Rhyperior, Tyrantrum, Mega Aerodactyl, MOTHERFUCKING TYRANITAR
All rock, all good.

>hating our lord and savoir Primerape
Adrenaline Orb makes him absolutely hilarious to use, especially when every single toolbag in the world thinks Gayrados and Intimidation leads are a good idea

Yellow Remake when?

>Adrenaline Orb
>playing any pokemon game after silver/gold
shiggy diggy

no, it replaces all of the pokemon's types with just Water.

>ground type pokemon learn a move that makes them immune to electric attacks iirc
>they are already immune to elec attacks

Takes me back bro

The feels bros, like tears in the rain

At the very least, mud sport and water sport cover your entire team, so they have some niche uses in double battles allowing you to protect your teammates weaknesses.

Soak is just shit.

Super has a budget of 23$ a pack of gum and a half eaten sandwich
Pomemon has a budget over a million

Go try and electrocute a rock then afterwards electrocute your balls you fag

>pokémon yellow

My Pikachu only got to level 17.

>confusing rock with ground

Every time

>Not using Thunder on your own Pokemon

I'm not even close to joking: I want this trainer to come back and I want his Sandshrew (or even Sandslash) to be

G
O
D

L
I
K
E

Lvl 100, knows every move, wrecks shit like you wouldn't believe, has a team of almost equally trained and trusted pokemon. That would be extreme and actually get me to watch pokemon again.

Sandshrew is my favorite pokemon, so when an extreme badass and his extreme badass 'shrew are literally making all the right decisions and leave to make a name for themselves...I want their name BROADCAST.

I'm somewhat sympathetic since I'm only just now playing again and the last time I played was Gold and Silver. So Weather and type specific immunities like steel being totally immune to poison is still new to me.

>give the player an average Pikachu that doesn't even evolve
What were they thinking? They could have at least given it some new moves or boosted its stats to keep up with fully evolved mon, Pikachu was so fucking shit in Yellow

Least Pikachu got meme status and a Light Ball. Raichu has always been shit and ignored. At least it got an Alola form but that form is also shit and ignored.

>get out of that jabroni outfit

This
Sandshrew was my shit and I fucked everyone up with him

Trainer trainin' him in a Macho Brace, he knew what he was doin'.

geodude was always great in any game i had em, i think only hippodon in my nuzlock x and y did better

but i cheesed it with the exp all because i hate grinding and waiting for turns in rpgs

Why is Onix bullying so funny?

Is the only capitalized word on your post the copied one because you're too low leveled and unevolved and need to latch to another one's post to reply?

Because it's an absolutely huge pokemon, and it's absolutely horrible at everything. It's a horrible defensive wall even with eviolite due to having no HP, it's worthless at attacking, there are far better steel types than Steelix, and M-Steelix is one of the worst megas. It is the definition of an eternal shitmon.

Hey buddy, I think you got the wrong door.
The leather club's two blocks down.

I remember trying to find ways to do that in the games.
Then I realize you need a Nidoran or Butterfree. Or just trade a Squrtle.

I always found it stupid that you can't use the mascot pokemon for the game on the first gym.

>looking to name new rock pokemon
>"it's a really hard pokemon, let's name it onyx"
>changes one letter to make it onix
>let's not even discuss seel
Yet gunwunners always love to talk about how great Pokemon was back then

Yeah, it was.

>water beats rock

What did they mean by this?

Well I don't know about you but the rocks outside my house get pissed when I spray water on them

Do you know about canyons and rivers? That's the general idea, yeah.

Same universe confirmed.

>fire beats steel

Easier explanation is the expression "Sinks like a rock"
