In this video we take a look at what it felt like playing through Pokemon Red and Blue. Not yellow, that was like COMPLETELY different, totally a whole new beast worth full price. Also can we talk about the dragons again? There really isn't ANY besides Lance and that one dragonair you can get at the casino. No 10 year old playing that game actually won a dragonair and if you said you did I don't respect you

Kakunas on the other hand, if you mess with one it will get a great urge to evolve and murder you as a beedril. They will remember you and what you did too.

Don't spread speculation as fact. Also, Surge hands out Thunderbolt and is the gym you're expected to face third, plus Body Slam can be picked up at around this same time in the game. Dig is also 100 power in Gen 1 and gotten very early. There obviously wasn't any consideration given to a move's BP in relation to where it's found by/awarded to the player. Rock Slide is actually at its weakest in Gen 1, for that matter, as it had no secondary effect at that point.

    • Charmander can take on Brock fine with Ember. Geodude and Onix both have 30 Special in Gen 1 and get chunked by STAB Special attacks. Neither of them have Rock STAB in RBY too, so outside of getting Bide cheesed, Charmander should be able to squeeze out a win if decently leveled.

    • The ROM hack, "Fired Red: Team Rocket Edition" actually does an amazing job of fleshing out the lore and making it feel 100% canon to the actual games, as well. In that ROM Hack, they basically said Kanto and Johto were at war 20 years prior to the present in the game (so like, 1976) and that Lance and Johto won the war only because general Oak decided to give up, which is why everyone in the gen 1 Elite Four are said to be Johto natives. They also explain that Red was bred to be able to get revenge on Johto and that Oak wanted him to be a prodigy cause he still harbored revenge. It really does feel like it could actually be canon to Pokemon lore.

I didn't learn until the next gen, that you do not want to face the E4 with bug pokemon. 2nd edit: Scratch that, Heracross was actually really good.

  • Funny story from when I was a kid like 8 or 9. I got charmander as my starter and didn’t know how to leave the starter town (you had to talk to someone) and I just grinder in the level 2-5 grass patch until I had Charizard. I eventually asked my older sister and she read the npc dialog and talked to the right guy, but by that point I had about a level 35 Charizard and the rest was history. Seeing that encounter on the bridge was actually a throwback for me.

Ever since, like, the Deadpool bit, the quality has improved tremendously on these skits, and they're not only a great source of comfort material, but they're actually surprisingly hilarious and cathartic, to the point that I gladly go back and rewatch certain episodes like "This is one of my favorite internet videos" And I have been on KZhead for over a decade.
