    Challenge When You Wish... An Expansive LeafGreen Eggstravaganza

    Part Three It's onto Nugget Bridge, where... ugh, this guy again. Curtis appears and challenges me to battle, where his newly-evolved Pidgeotto goes down surprisingly easy. I don't have much time to feel smug, though, because his Rattata proves to be an unexpected wrecking ball - its Quick...

    Most underwhelming final leader? In RB, yes, because nearly all bosses' Pokemon in that game have their dreadful level-up movesets so he's incredibly underpowered. In Yellow slightly less, because his Pokemon have somewhat optimised movesets and one or two coverage options thrown in. (Strangely...

    Challenge When You Wish... An Expansive LeafGreen Eggstravaganza

    Part Two Now that Kangaskhan can actually attack things, we should be good to go. I get stopped on the way out of Viridian City by some old coffin-dodger, though. What? No, I just wait for them to magically appear in my PC courtesy of the whims of a benevolent universe. Doesn't everyone...

    Ah yeah, that's true. But that's very far off and just the once so I can make the exception.

    Six Eggs And One Big Quest: Experiencing Gen III-era Kanto to its fullest extent Introduction With all the naive enthusiasm of someone who's just discovered something everyone else has been doing for ages ("ohmygodyouguysdidyouknowthisthingexists?!") I've been getting very into emulating...

    Sticky Orange Islands SQSA Thread

    So in HGSS the third starter Pokemon in Elm's lab disappears at some point and it's never explained and the game even prompts you to wonder "who did Elm give the third starter to?", yes yes, it's all very mysterious. My question is, does anyone know when exactly it disappears? What's the flag -...

    SPOILERS! Mysteries and Conspiracies of Pokemon

    That's actually a pretty interesting reasoning. I mean, in the early stages of every game you're mostly using Normal attacks but I could see the Weedle vs Weedle example coming up in development and someone catching it. Makes it all the more annoying there are hardly any good Bug attacks in Gen...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Every so often I remember that the Pokemon Adventures manga made Team Rocket's name an acronym for Raid On the City, Knock Out, Evil Tusks and I cringe so hard I run the risk of breaking a rib

    Yes, it's mentioned at least once by NPCs or signposts in the games it appears in. The bigger issue with Cycling Road is that it's meant, according to nearly all the artwork of the region, to be a massive suspension bridge more akin to the Skyarrow Bridge (explaining how the SS Anne manages to...

    Oops, you're right. They both got a stat buff in Gen VI, so I must have been looking at their stats in different gens without realising.

    Little things you like about Pokémon

    Bulbapedia has the name "Jim Gai" as a redirect for the guide's page because apparently it was common in some fan circles to refer to the guide from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh by this name (never witnessed this myself, but I wonder if it helped inspire the name he was given in Alola)...

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    I'm usually fairly forgiving of this kind of thing (Hoenn did it better) but Route 45 is particularly maddening because it looks so similar everywhere that I'm never certain I've cleared it out properly. It doesn't help that the GBC screen is tiny and it's hard to get a good view of the paths...
