Unless you pick Charmander or Chikorita. :V
Ah... yes
those days *flashbacks to Brock and Misty fights without patiently catching Pikachu like I should off, but noooo, I had to do It the hard way, and miss out on Pikachu until later*
I love HGSS, it's one of my favorite games of all time and probably my favorite to Nuzlocke but good god is the level curve BAD. And that's not to mention the Johto Pokemon you're locked out of until Kanto(unless you safari zone grind but lol) and the ****ING WHIRL ISLANDS I ****ING HATE THAT THING.
BW has the best level curve imo, I never felt the need to grind and Audinos existed if I did find myself in need. I keep seeing B2W2 being mentioned as an example of a good level curve but I only played it twice, and that was a long time ago so yeah, probably should give it another go.
*Just want to catch Lugia one of my favorite at the Whirl Island*
Me: "Hey is Lugia here?"
Low level Krabby trying to start problems: "No, but you can fight me punk!"
*an hour and two crab cakes later*
Me: "Lugia? Ya there?"
Adorable lonely Seel: "Nope just me by my lonesome
"
*an hour, new partner, and joyful tears later*
"Lugia I finally found you! You're mine! Marie (Ampharos) use Thunder Wave... Marie?"
*left her at the Pokémon Center*
"Damn it!" *looks back at Lugia feeling scared* "I'm yours?" *Lugia nods ominously with a grin*
Here's a discussion topic. Rather than choosing a Pokemon, who would you pick as the next Pokemon Trainer along side Red and Green/Leaf? Again, just the trainer, not the Pokemon they have.
Basically, who is your favorite trainer you'd like to 'play' as in Smash. Doesn't have to be a player character, can be a Gym Leader or even a nameless NPC.
Cynthia so I can use Garchomp to rip apart the competition, plus that class she always emanates (honorable mentions Steven, Riley (the man with Lucario, who gives you a Riolu egg in Iron Island), and Ethan)
