For Red/Blue, I'd say the top 5 are Nidoran-M, Nidoran-F, Squirtle, Abra and Zapdos. The Nidoran have great availability, can evolve into their final stages very early in the game and don't require many high demand TMs. Squirtle takes longer to evolve and really likes to have the Dig and Ice...

Do you use HM slaves or do you share the load among the team. I always use a full team of 6 fighting Pokemon and I share the experience equally among them. I feel that using any less Pokemon just makes the game too easy. As such, I am forced to either divide the HMs among this team or...

My final update on the Safari Zone. I tested out the Tauros zone. I had 208 encounters spread out over 3 Safari Zone visits. I had a level 26 Pokemon in the lead and used a total of 18 Super Repels. Out of the 208 encounters I encountered 19 Tauros and 5 Kangaskhan, working out to 9.1% and...

Except Pin Missile and Twineedle are multi-hit attacks. giving them an average base power of 42 and 50 respectively. Still not the greatest moves, but enough to make weaknesses hurt. The bigger problem here is how little distribution they got. Beedrill was the only Bug type to learn them and...

Got the gold symbol in Emerald last summer. Lucked my way through the first four rounds, one time actually having a Sheer Cold Walrein missing three times in a row, then in the final round I got a Suicune with Rest and Calm Mind at the start. That thing is pretty much immortal if you don't...

Honestly, out of the Pokemon I used, the only case I feel strongly about is moving Flareon down to Low. No STAB until Gym 8, only Normal for coverage and its abysmal Physical bulk really prevent it from being a good Pokemon. Against each Gym and E4 member: Erika: Useless. You need to level up...

That is only if you naively compare types. Brock's Pokemon don't have any Rock or Ground moves and they have very poor Special, so Charmander actually has the advantage here. He actually does better than Bulbasaur here. Against Misty Charmander does have a straight up disadvantage. No getting...

Just completed Blue on the Virtual Console, so let me give my opinion on the Pokemon I used. One note, I skipped all optional fights and haven't grinded since Viridian Forest. I eventually defeated the E4 with high 30s and low 40s Pokemon. Squirtle: Top tier suits it. Good match-up against...
