Hello everyone!
I just registered in the forums and this section seemed like the right place to start with
I am 24 years old, from Greece. I have been a pokemon fan since i was a kid, used to collect Cards and Tazos (those round plastic thingies) and also used to play pokemon Red on my trusty gameboy Pocket and pokemon arena on my N64 back in the day. So ive known about pokemon since the 90's (pretty much just gen 1 and maybe a little bit from gen 2) but when i became a teenager i lost interest up until 5-6 years ago when i dug up my gameboy and started playing, also borrowed the machine of another friend in order to try pokemon ruby/saphire. Now, so many years later i tried to play pokemon yellow and to be completely honest i was and i guess i still am a bit lost. Ive been playing for the past week, with the help of a guide and the google search which provided some valuable information and movesets. But i ll get back to this in a bit.
So, i am quite old already and i just cant believe that kids nowadays still love pokemon.. i dont even know how many pokemon generations are there anymore. It is kind of weird to see kids 15 years younger than me playing the same games i used to play when i was a kid, but i guess that's the magic of it
Also, to get back to the yellow game.. as i said above ive been playing for around a week now. I just reached the victory road and those are pretty much my good pokemon:
Lapras (52 level, Surf, Body Slam, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt.. thinking of replacing body slam with Rest)
Exeggcutor (51 level, Solar Beam, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, Psychic)
Zapdos (51 level, Thunder, Thundershock, Drill Peck, Fly)
Articuno & Moltres (havent assigned skills yet)
Duggtrio (Level 40, Dig, Slash and 2 other skills)
Gengar (46 level, Night Shade, Hypnosis, Strength, Confuse Ray)
Snorlax (40 level, Rest, Body Slam, Headbutt, Earthquake)
Alakazam (47 level, Psychic, Reflect, Recover, Psybeam)
Nidoqueen (35 level, shes kind of weak though so i stopped using her)
Primape (34 level, low kick & some others.. but i replaced him with machamp earlier today, 40 level atm)
Lapras/Gengar/Exxegcutor/Alakazam are pretty much my strongest pokemon right now with the current movesets.
The rest of my pokemon are either low level or high level but ive never used them (Excluding pidgeotto & butterfree which i just stopped using because they just seemed too weak.. especially pidgeotto)
And aside from my introduction, id also please want some help regarding all the questions (general pokemon stuff and questions regarding pokemon yellow)
So about yellow, here i go.
I plan on getting Rhydon, heard hes good. If i do, which moveset should i use? I dont really have a tank besides Snorlax.
Is moltres any good or should i get ninetales? I dont have any fire pokemon except for moltres which btw i just obtained, and i think charmander and growlith (both low levels). Moltres seems like a good fire pokemon to start with, considering that hes a legendary pokemon with all around good stats in the game, but then again i read that ninetales is better (problem is that i have no idea where to find one, or even a vulpix).
Are the movesets of my pokemon terribly bad? yes/no or just correct them for me.
What's so special about chansey? I find that pokemon incredibly boring, its like a weaker snorlax, i just dont understand what's all the fuss about x,x
Generally any other advice regarding pokemon yellow would be much appreciated.
And lastly, i want to know which game i could possibly play once i complete the yellow pikachu version, in order to catch up with things (like a gen 2 game or what's next after the yellow version of game boy color?). Because im kind of lost.
Again, ive played ruby/saphire version but i really dont remember anything anymore (except that the pokemon in those games were pretty weird and unknown to me).
And btw, why did i choose pokemon yellow? Because i am familiar with the Pokemon in gen 1 and even though im not generally knowledgeable it seemed like a good idea to start with something that im relatively familiar with (Even after all those years, i still remember most of those pokemon yea)
Sorry for the wall of text
Glad to be here.
