Let's have a thread celebrating the greatest pokemon of all time: Pidgey

Let's have a thread celebrating the greatest pokemon of all time: Pidgey.
Look at that glare. Bitch knows sand-attack AND leer. Did you know it learns quick attack? An ability so broken, it allows you to move first regardless of move or stat priority. Don't even get me started on gust.
This peculiar pussy-wetting pigeon will rip your bulbasaur to little bulba-shit pieces. It only has one type, no x4 super effective against this bread-and-butter bird. All while being able to be accessed in route -ONE-. That is, after he nearly kills you and Oak has to step in and save the day.

Give your props to this bird. There's a reason Gary has a Pidgeot. He's one lean, mean, weedle-eating machine. Better bring x5 pokeballs.

Outclassed in the first game by fearow how sad

Only the original 151 matter.

But does it Lear aerial ace like Spearow?

Only little bitches don't know about my main nigga Aggron

...

>It only has one type

Uh it was always normal/flying

What if I use Quick Attack with a faster and stronger Pokemon the same turn Pidgey uses Quick Attack?

>Pidgey
What a strange way of spelling “Donphan”

And Dodrio. Pidgeot is the worst bird in Gen 1, but people used it because Pidgeys could be caught on the first route.

its eye always made me chucklee.

No such pokemon exists.

...

...

Holy shit nostalgia

there is no stronger pokemon

nah man. ONLY 151?? Weak shit. Don't be a nostalgiafag. Besides the gameplay didn't hit it's peak until Bland and White anyways.

Good times, I miss em.

pid gey

I like the pidove better.

best pokemon coming through
After only playing 1 or 2 gyms in gen 2 and skipping until making a living Dex in X my other 2 favorite are crobat and golurk

...

Did you mean to reply to ?

>coworker sees me on /vp/
>”I didn’t know you liked Pokémon user! What’s your favorite gen?”
>brace for impact
>”I like gen 1”
>coworker gives me disapproving glare and says “c’mon user, don’t be one of THOSE guys”

Why aren’t people allowed to like gen 1

shit yeah
Nothing wrong with Gen 1. It was extremely buggy thogh

Because Genwunners give people who like Gen 1 best a bad rep.

Only the original 151 matter.

ITS NOT FAIR

WHY I SHE SO TRASH

WHY DRAGON?! WHYYYY

>

That makes sense I guess
Are they even a thing anymore tho?

Hey Sup Forums, I have a very serious problem. I’m fucking crying because of how stupid I am.

Okay, so my girlfriend was supposed to come over to my house today because I was going to go take her to a movie. She lives about 20 minutes away, and the movie we were supposed to see started at 4:15, which was in about 40 minutes. I figured “cool, I’ll just play Pokemon while I wait”.

So I’m playing Pokemon, and having a pretty damn good time. Anyway, she finally does show up, except she’s crying as she walks into my room. Instead of doing the right thing by comforting her, I half-focus on my game and her. She starts telling me her cat died, and just as she was getting into it, I get into a random encounter in my game.

A shiny pidgey. Holy shit. (For those of you who don’t know/care, shiny Pokemon have less than a 1/1,000 chance of appearing; 1/8192 to be exact.). I stare into my screen in amazement, yelling “holy shit, YES”, interrupting her mid-story. She sobs more, and she starts to yell “You don’t even fucking care! YOU JUST WANT TO PLAY YOUR FUCKING GAME!” I’m still looking at my screen, still focusing on catching my shiny Pidgey, when she walks over, and tosses the game against the wall. I run over and pick up my DS hoping that nothing has changed on screen, and quickly noticed that she broke it. My system and my shiny Pidgey, gone forever.

I start screaming every obscenity I know, and started flailing my arms around. I didn’t know she was behind me, and apparently I backhanded her in the face while I was being a dumbass and swinging my fists around. She yells out “FUCK YOU”, and runs out of my house in tears.

What have I done? I’ve fucked up so badly, and I need to know how to approach her. I don’t want a game of Pokemon to be responsible for ruining my best relationship ever. Help me, Sup Forums.

fuck off donfag you, ugly

>Why aren’t people allowed to like gen 1

Because every other generation does what Gen 1 did better.


>Make an absolutly badass TRex pokemon
>Make it slow as shit and weak as fuck to everything else in the game

It really is a tragedy

Was this meant to be a new thread?

Childhood is reading this pasta and thinking the guy was in the wrong.

Adulthood is realizing that you don’t destroy someone’s property over a fucking cat.

Thanks

Of course they are. Love it or hate it. Shit was amazingly popular back in the day See

>every other gen does what gen - did but better

I disagree
Gen 1 had true nonlinearity and felt like an adventure.
Other gems are handholdy as shit

Yes

>Not knowing this is pasta

I expect there will be a lot of people like this in here.

Newfag please shut the fuck up

Shit meme

Am I the only one that likes gen 2 the best? I feel like I am.

Fuck this is an old one.

>true nonlinearity
This meme needs to end already

What is this, a shitpost for ants?

To this day I wonder if this pasta was true, if this actually happened. I'd like to believe it because it sounds like a hilarious situation, but there's also a lot of bullshit that was posted on here, so believing every situation is fucking retarded.

>Gen 1 had true nonlinearity and felt like an adventure.

Ah yes the freedom to get shithoused by a gym full of pokemon 15 levels higher than yours.

It's a stupid discord meme

Nah mang. I'm with you HG/SS were the the best gameplaywise

>Because every other generation does what Gen 1 did better.
Wrong. Absolutely no other generation does what Gen 1 did.
Kanto gives you the freedom to explore the world after you beat Misty. You can do Surge, Erika, Koga, Blaine, and Sabrina in almost any order, as long as you do Koga before Blaine.
You don't want to or don't have time to take on Team Rocket right now? Go on ahead to a different route and come back later.
Ever since Gen 3, the games have been so focused on telling their bad stories that they've forgotten what made the Kanto games so good: the ability to have an adventure, rather than have the villains talk at you for hours at a time.

Gens 5, 6, and presumably 7 (I haven't played 7) would be so much better if they, at the very, very least, allowed you to skip all the cutscenes and dialogue like any other modern game in existence. Gens 1 and 2 keeping it to a minimum is the best GameFreak have ever done, which is kind of sad, honestly.

Gen 1 wasn’t even the cancerous kind of open world game we see today. It was actually full of secrets to explore and you had at least some choice in the path you took, not to mention completely uninterrupted by cutscenes.

Gens 5, 6, and 7 feel like such a huge step down, and i feel like Pokémon has honestly regressed and taken a lot of steps backward.

>This meme needs to end already

It's kind of true, but absolutly meaningless.

The game gives you a couple paths, but only one has the trainers that are around you level with the wild pokemon you'll actually need.

You technically CAN wander into areas you're not supposed to, but you just get pushed in unless you're a grinding retard with one pokemon thats 30 levels higher than it should be.

This! You took the words right out of my mouth, man.

What that pokemon... its
Oh my fucking god what the fuck is that?
Ash can't catch that shit wtf!

Good to know I'm not alone on this. You also gotta love the designs.

I'd be more into Gen 2 if the level scaling weren't so trash. Everything is balanced for the fact that there's 2 regions to go through, and that ends up with everything being super low leveled and the wild Pokemon never really catch up to you in levels as you progress.

Gen 2 DOES have a lot of my favorite designs though.

>You can do Surge, Erika, Koga, Blaine, and Sabrina in almost any order
>as long as you do Koga before Blaine

Except there's an obvious level progression when it comes to the gyms. You CAN throw hands at Koga right after Misty, but you're not going to.

>Misty's pokemon are lvl 18-21
>Surge's pokemon are lvl 18-24
>Erika's pokemon are lvl 24-29

Koga and Sabrina are interchangeable but like you said, you have to fuck up Koga first to get to Blaine, making Blaine one of the last you'll fight (especially considering his shits are 40-47)

Yeah, it's mostly for the designs. I just love the way they looked. Still, I found Gold and Silver to be very fun games regardless of the flaws.

haven't seen this pasta in a while

Yeah, I knew that one was kind of weak.
I still very much appreciate being able to do Blaine before Sabrina, since Sabrina requires doing Silph Co. first, and the evil team's final area is always the worst part of every Pokemon game.

Can we agree pokemon emerald is the peak of the pkmn series

>the evil team's final area is always the worst part of every Pokemon game

It really fucking is. Not to mention most teams aren't that different in terms of variance on the grunt level.

>Zubat
>A dark type
>

>Can we agree pokemon emerald is the peak of the pkmn series


It's only the peak for autismo grind shitters. RNG bounce houses have been replaced by actual online connectivity. Deal with it.

...

anything beside hear gold/souls silver and black/white is trash

You unintentionally did the right thing. Show that bitch who's boss. You'll find plenty of GFs in life, but that was your one and only shiny Pidgey that you lost.

Since Pidove is clearly a rock pidgen, is Pidgey even an actual pidgin or is that some sort of translation liberty? I have never seen a member of the dove family in real life resemble the Pidgey line. They look more like those little brown feeder birds.

Pidgey is clearly a sparrow but translators gave that to spearrow.

Well Spearrow is a sparrow in the japanese name. But according to the pokemon wiki it shares a resemblance to shrikes, which are tiny birds that impale their food on spikes and are often named after their behavior for being barbaric or evil across multiple cultures, attributing to the pokemons japanese name "Demon Sparrow"

Perhaps the Japanese word for sparrow is also shared with Shrikes. Fearow is an odd one because it's a hybrid of all sorts of different birds and it's jap name translates to "Demon Bird".

Pidgey's name and line are onomatopoeias of Pidgen calls but yeah their design is very close to a common house sparrow.
