I just started playing Pokemon a few days ago, probably about 10 years too late. And most of my pokemon are around Lvl 30. My team is: Gyarados, Pikachu, Nidoking, Graveler, Charmeleon (trying to evolve him soon to Charizard) and I have a level 25 Eevee that I'm thinking of evolving into a Jolteon and swapping pikachu out. Rate my team so far and leave tips please it would help as I've only been playing a few days
>>331460586
Enjoy not having anyone to play with.
90% of the fun of that game was using the link cable.
>swapping pikachu out
Nigga you crazy
>>331460913
I did some research on the stats though, and Jolteon pretty much is better at everything? I might be wrong
>>331460586
>probably about 10 years too late
Closer to 20 years too late.
>doing research for a pokemon game when you're just battling the elite 4
top kek
>>331461689
I'm only 20, I don't even know why I never played any pokemon as a kid, I feel cheated
>>331460764
>link cable
It doesnt make a difference retard
>>331460586
nignog vaporeon is the best if you want that eevee evolved, purely stat wise that is
also dropping pikachu, you gay
Not OP, but I'm also playing through gen 1 for the first time. Is it worth it to keep a team of 6 pokemon leveled up, or should I just choose like 3-4 good ones and fuck the rest? And I want to keep my Pikachu, but he just sorta sucks.
If you don't plan on playing multiplayer you can use pretty much any Pokémon.
Once I only played through the game with the weirdest team I could come up with.
My Team was : Tangela, Porygon, Seaking, Farfetch'd, Ditto and Magmar
>>331462874
Magmar is dope though.
OP here, I'm really happy with Gyarados for now, I taught him bubble beam and he's 1 hitting most enemies and Nidoking using Thrash is OP as fuck. But I'm not really happy with Pikachu, he just sucks and his HP is too low.
>>331462291
Why wouldn't you drop Pikachu? Not only do his stats suck, but he's just a gimmick.
>>331463325
Would you suggest Jolteon instead, because I already have a lvl 25 eevee or a different electric type?
>>331461158
The difference is negligible in-game, competitive is another story, also you will miss all the scripted pikachu scenes.
>>331463325
why would you drop him?
if he was not the reason to buy the game you might as have gone R or B, well besides the better sprites
yellow was always meant to cater to the anime fans and a certain yellow mouse is the main mon on the show
>>331463325
You can try catching Zapdos, but it's level 50 and will probably make the game too easy
Oh yeah and I forgot to mention I have a bulbasaur who I dropped off at he daycare ages ago, he should be a venesaur by now, would venesaur be worth adding to my team?
>>331463325
>>331460586
>dropping my nigga pikachu
disgustingSeriously though, Pikachu is completely fine since you're not doing competitive shit anyway
>>331460764
The virtual console version supports an "emulated" link cable. You can battle/trade with other virtual console versions over the local wireless.
>>331463701
Yellow allowed you to get all 3 starters in one game. I bet some people bought it just because of that.
>>331463823
Pokemon don't evolve in the daycare.
>>331463701
Yellow has better graphics and you can get the there starters without trades. I always catch a Rattata and put Pikachu as soon as I can. I can't stand this overrated yellow shit.
>>331462581
A solid team of 5 is good.
>>331460586
>Gyrados and not Lapras
>Swapping out Pikaman
Get Lapras because Lapras is awesome, get Zapdos if you're gonna swap Pikaman out.
If you really want to fuck around just get a lvl 100 Mew and he soloes the entire game. Nidoking is solid as fuck though.
>>331463823
I don't remember if pokemon evolve at the daycare, but he can make for a decent wall
>>331463946
i got the game solely because muh pikachu
everything else was a bonus
>>331463325
>he's just a gimmick
That's exactly why you don't drop Pikachu. Literally the entire point of the game is to have Pikachu.
>>331463823
>would venesaur be worth adding to my team?
You are better with Victreebel
>>331463983
>you can get the there starters without trades
You can do that in Red and Blue too.
>>331463823
Teach Venasaur Toxic and Leech Seed, power level him a bit then use Toxic > Leech Seed in each battle. Trust me on this, it's fucking OP.
>>331464334
I wasn't aware of glitches back then.
>>331460586
it literally doesnt matter what you have for the regular game as long as you have enough to counter each monster type more or less
the game is piss easy if you arent 10..just go play it and pick whatever you think is interesting
>>331460586
it doesn't matter what you do, we all beat this at sub 10 years old
>>331460586
All you need is Lapras
>psychic
>thunderbolt
>surf
>ice beam
Fucks up just about everything, especially the E5.
Come discuss the anime with us!

>doesnt know how nintendo updated gen 1 on the eshop
literally retarded
>>331464334
Fuck off, the last guy to tell me that took my cartridge home and stole Mewtwo.
So after yellow what pokemon should I play next?
>>331460586
dump pikachu it's shit. don't bother with jolteon it's also shit. you're not going to be able to get a golem unless you have some way of trading it.
get an electabuzz if you can in yellow. get a dratini as well. you can actually catch a level 15 dragonair with a super rod but i don't think it's worth the extra difficulty of catching it or the extra experience it would need to level up. you could probably teach it more moves though.
>>331462581
>Is it worth it to keep a team of 6 pokemon leveled up, or should I just choose like 3-4 good ones and fuck the rest?
3-4 would be more powerful than the 6 by the end but training a full party is more fun so do that.
>>331460913
>keeping bitchachu with you
top kek fag
>>331464681
starmie can rock the same moveset and is faster
>>331464882
Why even bother playing yellow version then? Is it that you just love having every route be 40% Pidgey?
>>331463458
Get jolteon, find out what level he gets pin missile and make sure he gets it.
>>331464882
>bitchachu
>being this edgy
>calling other people fags
>>331464681
Lapras is God tier in Gen 1.
>>331464854
The game was speed runned with just 2 pokemon so I'm pretty sure you don't even need this much.
Also, OP, glitches make this game a lot more fun.
>>331464693
No thanks. If I click that link, five minutes later I'll be on paheal.net jerking it to Misty pics.
>>331465119
You only need 1 really. Source: every 8 year old that just trained their charizards to level 80.
>>331465186
you'll end up doing that either way
>>331463156
Are you unable to evolve pikachu in yellow? I can't remember
>>331465186
> Misty.
> Not Eevee.
>>331464949
Actually, good point. Unless you're playing Nuzlocke there's no reason to choose Lapras.

anyone who picked Charizard and had fun was autistic, either they enjoyed the eternal grinding, or they ended up on tumblr sexually identifying as a dragon or some shit
>>331465643
Yep, Pikachu actively refuses the stone
>>331463325
Don't listen to all the pika-memesters. If you don't like him, you don't like him. Yellow is superior to red and blue outside of the whole pikachu thing.
Just remember:
Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best.
>>331460586
Gyarados is good but nowhere near as good as it is Gen 4 onwards.
Pikachu is fine.
Nidoking is good.
Graveler is okay but kind of redundant if you have a Nidoking.
Charizard is good.
Suggest evolving Eevee into Vaporeon for type coverage.
>>331465643
you can't
>>331465235
Or just get Mew or Mewtwo and smash all the enemies down.
>>331465938
he has a gyarados, pikachu, and charizard. There is NO eeveelution that helps with type coverage unless he wants to replace one of those three.
>>331465871
Orrrr, had a team consisting of more than just their starter?
You know there's an item in the game called "pokeball". You should try it sometime
>>331465871
> Not wanting to be a dragon.
You gay, nigga.
But yeah, squirtle and blastoise are the best.
I was never a fan of wartortle, though.
>>331465119
>glitches make this game a lot more fun
I agree entirely, though I have a question. Since you can apparently play this game online, is it possible to just get a bunch of horrific abominations of glitch pokemon and shit on the uninitiated in some online battles? How does that even work with glitch pokemon anyway, considering theyre properties change entirely depending on whether youre playing R/B or Y?
>>331460586
>Nidoking
MAH NIGGA
>>331465938
>Suggest evolving Eevee into Vaporeon for type coverage.
I'm an idiot I forgot you already have Gyarados.
>>331465937
>Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled Trainers should try to win with the Pokémon they love best.
This
>>331466451
I'm guessing glitches would cause desync, especially between versions. Give it a try, see how it works.
I've seen some glitch Pokemon with all-around great stats, arguably better than Mewtwo's, and huge movepools(one move every three levels or so, plus a few useful TMs). If they don't crash or desync, some of these could really tear it up.
>>331466451

Impressive.
Crits are based on speed in yellow, so get fast pokemon like electrode, kabutops, and the like. High crit moves are overpowered as well.
