    LOL. My high school had some similar proxy service... ever heard of BESS? Yeah, it was annoying that it blocked almost every website (even ones needed for my project... FAIL) but I usually found other proxies and was able to bypass it

    Good luck training that thing though. I bought one for 500 Pokes at RBY But then again, Gyarados becomes a better Feraligatr, so it will all pay off if you got him and a Cyndaquil. *shhh, don't tell the Totodile players this!*

    Not anymore, he isn't, but he's still good.

    Yes, I made this terrible GIF, happy? But they can't wait until HG and SS comes out! Anyways, let's get back on topic. Let's assume the remake is very faithful in many ways... so if you didn't pick Chikorita, the alternative is Bellsprout. It gets worse here. Bellsprout is stuck with a measly 15 PP Vine Whip (it was 10 back then!!) until at level 7 she learns Growth... which does NOT benefit Vine Whip anymore... and level 11 where she learns... WRAP! At least Chikorita's better than that... but here's the catch. Bellsprout then learns Sleep Powder at level 13! And since Bellsprout's my favorite Grass Pokemon, I must have her! But if you're patient, she'll become a Weepinbell at level 21 and learn... *drumrolls* Acid at level 23. Okay... it's not that great, but still, better than nothing! Then we get the coveted Razor Leaf *dog drools* at level 39! Too much waiting here! But if you don't like Bellsprout, you can wait until Ilex Forest to get Oddish, who is more defensively oriented and a less screwed up movepool (but starts out with Absorb and Sweet Scent). But even then, Victreebel will do better competitively in the long run... but Vileplume/Bellossom is there for consideration. Pick your poison. As for Water type alternatives, they might put those early Poliwags in the early routes at night time or so... but you'll be stuck with BUBBLE for a LONG time. BUT... there's that Hypnosis at level 8! Then comes Water Gun at level 11... this tadpole's here for consideration. If you're lucky, it comes with Water Absorb. There's Wooper after Violet City if you want a Water Absorbing electric-immune Water Pokemon. Either way, Water Pokemon are EVERYWHERE... but those are your early two. As for Fire types... if the version exclusive rule stays the same, Gold gets Growlithe and Silver gets Vulpix... but that's much later in the game. Growlithe is an all-around amazing sweeper... while Vulpix plays more defensively. Personally I love the Firefox better, but most will prefer the tiger dog. Take your pick.

    Thanks. Mewtwo is my favorite Pokemon I tried making Mewtwo my starter in Ruby Sapphire... it didn't work out so well... because I had to fight that Poochyena in the beginning with Confusion... ouch. So here's how the difficulty goes: Beginners: choose Cyndaquil Midbies: choose Totodile Experts and Veterans: choose Chikorita (or if you're an obsessive Grass lover) BTW it's MEGANIUM that learns Body Slam at level 44 But when Bayleef evolves into Meganium, she learns Petal Dance immediately. Her offensive movepool before is Razor Leaf and Magical Leaf... and Tackle. Other than that, we have Poisonpowder, Reflect, Synthesis... they're not all that bad I guess.

    [sprite]152[/sprite] Chikorita - pick this plant if you're going the hard way. While she does get a plethora of supporting moves such as Reflect, Light Screen and Safeguard, her only offensive moves will be Tackle and Razor Leaf until she finally learns Body Slam at a really late level, which is BAD. The first two gyms are two types Chikorita has trouble again (lol @ a Gym Leader with a level 7 Pidgey and level 9 Pidgeotto), but if you really want a challenge and love plant Pokemon, pick Chikorita. Competitively, she works wonderfully as a Cleric and supporter, but other grass types do much better since they can actually cast status other than Toxic. She's really Bulbasaur without the Poison typing and the movepool and the Special Attack traded for Defense. [sprite]155[/sprite] Cyndaquil- everyone's best friend from the start. We all know he's the best, right? Awesome special attack, really quick, learning Thunderpunch as Typhlosion to take advantage of that wicked special attack (offer not valid in DPP). He'll do you good because he's quick and strong with that powerful Ember, and that he evolves into Quilava at level 14 (but evolves into Typhlosion at level 36)... but why use him when there are other better Fire types out there? He also has the same stats as Charmander... which doesn't show any form of uniqueness, but his biggest merit is that he is the fastest Eruption user in UU. Cyndaquil was the best starter back in GSC, but now he's dethroned by Totodile. But don't let that fool you. He'll do well in-game, has an advantage against Bugsy the second gym leader, and will help you win battles, but just handle with care. Fire types are rare and hard to come across, so if you don't want to wait to get a Fire type after Goldenrod... he's definitely your choice. Cyndaquil's considered the easy mode in this game. [sprite]158[/sprite] Totodile- ewww. A water type? Why would I want one? He is the worst of the GSC starters because of those misaligned stats, right? Hold on a minute! That was the case back in GSC and RSE (developers got lazy with the movepool in Gen III), but now that's not true! Totodile's back with a brand new rep! Thanks to the Physical/Special Split in DPP, he benefited a lot from it thanks to that large physical movepool of his. We got Waterfall, Crunch, Rock Slide, Ice Punch, Earthquake, Flail... it's gone a LOT better! He can raise his stats with Agility and Swords Dance if needed... and if you breed him, he can learn the awesome Dragon Dance! How's that for the energetic crocodile? Competitively, he's great, but the problem is, he gets overshadowed by Gyarados. Bummer. But still, being the worst GSC starter into the best does a lot for this guy, especially if you consider how he WAS back then and what he IS now. Totodile evolves into Croconaw at level 18 and evolves into Feraligatr at level 30.

    A fairly obvious Battle Tower-esque place (maybe that building in Vermilion City will get completed... really, that man has been constructing that building for THREE YEARS and it's still not done!)
  8. wraith89
    I don't know. Wasn't the GS ball only available in Crystal? If this is indeed a remake, they might not include it and go the lazy way and make it an almost LITERAL remake like FR/LG (lol at Golbat evolving to a Question Mark). But I'm hoping there will be some way to get Celebi legit...
  9. wraith89
    Why does everyone hate Croconaw? I think he's cute Heck, am I the ONLY one who thinks he is? And kudos to you... more Chikorita users! Does anyone know if her movepool got increased from that very limited movepool from GSC and RSE?
  10. wraith89
    Treecko is actually good, Bulbasaur is really good, Turtwig is really good too... Chikorita really isn't.
  11. wraith89
    into tiny Pikachus
  12. wraith89
    Give Mewtwo
  13. wraith89
    Wow o_O Why are the fire and water starters so popular and people always neglect the grass type? Yeah, I know Chikorita's the worst one, but still... more plant love? Ok, I've decided. Chikorita for me to take a challenge. If I ever play competitively though, I'm picking Totodile
  14. wraith89
    Shoto = Shotokan people... people who play in the same style as Ryu, Ken and Akuma... and there's also Sakura and Dan... who play like them but don't exactly play like them. There's an error with that name though... their martial arts isn't exactly Shotokan... it's something else that involves assassination techniques (I forgot the name though). And boo... people are always playing shotos? Youch... I guess the charge input characters like Chun-li aren't so popular anymore.

    And you think Drifblim is ugly? Shame on you. -___- Anyways, Feraligatr = UGLY!! But he's the best thanks to his new Dragon Dance ability and a physical moveset to boot! W00t! If you're playing in-game, he gets Agility to boost that speed of his (why his speed ties with a certain turtle is beyond me) and learns Flail, Crunch, Aqua Tail, and a plethora of good moves to be useful. Plus, Ice Punch TM (hopefully coming back ) and you've got a Feraligatr that is more functional than his GSC counterpart! Competitively, Typhlosion gets merit for being the fastest Eruption user
  22. wraith89
    I know she isn't as useful, but still... it's kinda mean to neglect her for that very reason. UU cleric sauropod FTW! I think I'll pick her for the sake of challenge. BTW people, Feraligatr is the best GSC starter now... Typhlosion has officially been dethroned! But even then, Gyarados is better than Feraligatr EDIT: @Phreen... how about Victreebel?

    Perhaps they'll release an event to get Celebi eventually. What we need is an expanded Johto and Kanto... Kanto was terribly short in GSC and limited. Also, GSC's difficulty was VERY easy... highest level Pokemon being a level 51 Golbat (without counting legendaries) and the E4's strongest Pokemon being a level 50 Dragonite. Pathetic :-/ Maybe a difficulty setting like The Fallen's suggestion might do? I wish they had something like that... GSC felt n00bified. Also, I'm hoping Mismagius and Honchkrow are available before beating the game and whatnot because although the former was great even if unevolved, the latter's unevolved form was quite unimpressive.
