Let's Play: Pokemon!
 

Welcome to Let's Play: Pokemon!

Since I'm pretty much on bed rest, I have plenty of time to do this, this time around. Let's see if I can keep from fucking it up this time.

I'mma throw these questions out- I need an answer to all of them, if you would.

ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS:

1) Which Pokemon Game? I'm talking Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, one of the Game Boy /DS titles, and none of this 'Ranger' bullshit.

Rather then just going with "most votes" I'll be checking which GENERATION has the most votes first, then picking the game in that generation that has the most votes. Kapiche?

2) What should my starter be? [Fire/water/grass/electric if you picked yellow but who the fuck would pick yellow]

3) what should my TEAM consist of? [I will be ignoring anything that says "magikarp" "Hoppip" or "Fenris' mother" as she's just about as useless, although I'd accept 1 Magikarp or 1 Hoppip on my team]

4) Restrictive or open catching? Should I only catch the pokemon on my list or their earlier incarnations, or should I huck a ball at everything, and just keep my main team leveled and ignore the others?


Polls would be about useless here, but if Fenris or some other moderator feels like they can throw up a poll consisting of the Pokemon Titles for Gameboy to help me count votes.
[being Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver, Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Pearl, Diamond, Platinum]

Blue. Charmander starter. We'll get that when we get there. Open.

DS series - Pearl - Grass.

With Flare on the "get there" part. Open catching

Ruby preferred, but anything gen 3+ is fine -- Water type starter -- We'll see when we get there, but at least ONE of the rattata equivalants must be incorporated into the team. -- Open Catch.

I would say no Pokémon that were ridiculously powerful (Ie. Legendaries, but catching them would be fun)

I would also suggest not levelling on every trainer; let's make these gym battles quite close!

Mm, First or Second Gen is my vote; more so Second because that would mean you could go back to the first area but this might make the LP quite longer than anticipated!

I vote Pokemon Red Generation 1. And your starter should be Squirtle. Why? because then you can fuck up Gary when he picks bulbasaur.

Your overall team should consist of, Farfetch'd, Mr. Mime, Blastoise (evolving squirtle of course), Flareon, VilePlume, and a random pokemon of your choosing. Oh and be sure to get your Warturtle to learn Megapunch. Its a beast. And Farfetch'd should learn Cut. Oh and Mr. Mime should also learn Thunderbolt. And you can have one random pokemon for everyone else to decide on.

Yes. That is what you should do. Also, do open catching. Some of these pokemons require other kinds to get (farfetch'd and mr. Mime) and the others don't show up till much later (Flareon).

1) Gold/Silver/Crystal (I picked Gold, because that's what I had).

Where the series pretty much hit it's peak.

2) Cyndaquil.

I love me some awesome fucking flaming porcupines.

3) Don't care.

4) Also don't care, but I'd really just say catch as much as you can.

Even if you don't use the Legendaries, just kill them and mount their heads on your wall or something (that is an option in Pokemon right?).

1. Gold
2. Don't care...
3. Only care about having a sneasel and a wobbafett, pick whatever else.
4. Open

I'm torn between the good old nostalgic Red/Fire or a 3rd gen. 3rd gen, because then you could eventually catch absol. And I like absol.

I voted Blue because FUCK YOU PIKACHU WHY WILL YOU NOT EVOLVE INTO RAICHU FUCK YOU

Go with Squirtle.

Also your team should be Blastoise, Pidgeot, Raticate (cause I hate you), either Arcanine or Rapidash or Ninetails, Rhydon, and Alakazam.

Open-catching.
