I love this freaking game. You can call me gay or faggot or whatever you want, I still love it. I have it on my old Game Boy Colour(that still works even after all these years) and I've decided to start playing again. My goal now is to catch every single pokémon aviable to catch. And that means I will spend hour after hour trying to catch all the catchable pokémon. I know it's an insane goal, but it's managble. I started out with Totodile because he's so badass. He's probably the most badass pokémon of all time, out of disscusion. Anyways, have fun, because I'm going back to play pokémon gold :D:D:D:D:D

Lol, and the best pokémon game. Not really the easiest if you are aming to catch every catchable pokémon, because there are pokémon which only has a 0.5% XP ratio while others have 2.0% xp ratio and so on. Larvitar for an example, as a 0.5% XP ratio and is actually very hard to level up if you are focusing on leveling it up without rare candies.

Silver is actually better than gold imo. And the most badass pokemon is definitely not totodile. It's typhlosion (I'm not comparing him with toto or chiko, I'm comparing him with meganium and ferligatr).

I just think Totodile looks so badass. Ever since Squirtle with his badass glasses, I've always thouht of him when I see Totodile.

I agree that Totodile looks much more badass than any of the other starters (all forms). But I always went the Typhlosion route because fire is just so good xD.

Played all generation of pokemon games (not all since most overlap) and I think I like Gold too, especially the phone system. I would actually love it if the game gave an difficulty option at the beginning though since most are too easy, although it's probably just an AI problem.

Gold was good stuff. I still have mine too, but it won't keep a save file for longer than a day or so. Actually, that's happened with Gold, Silver, and Crystal for me. R/B/Y are all perfect though. Weird.

Blastoise is more badass than any pokemon mentioned in this thread so far, and he isn't even the most badass pokemon.

I think I won the lowest prize you can get once, which is what, matching the last 3 or 4 digits of the ID?

That feature is just another one of those annoying, but braggable rights features reserved for the pokemaniacs. That and shiny pokemon.

Pokemon Crystal was better I thought, but Crystal is essentially and upgraded version of Gold and Silver anyway.

I'm playing HeartGold right now, I couldn't stand the new music though. Once I got GB Sounds, I always turn that on.

I think he meant as the initial legendary flier. I'd rather get Lugia at lvl 45 instead of 70, just because he's more badass than ho-oh.

Then again, ho-oh on level 70 is pretty worthless because he erases either sacred fire or fireblast, or both. I forget.

Sorry, nothing in this response is related to Pokemon Gold. Its all Blue/Red/Yellow. But i figured it might be relevant anyway...

One of the things that fascinated me most about pokemon gameboy games was all the hidden cheats/rumors that circulated around the game. I'd like to share some with you to see how widespread they actually were... please excuse my forgetfulness of all things pokemon... it's been a while!

#1 For those of us who played Blue/Red/Yellow... did everyone know about that rare-candy-dupe cheat swimming up and down the coast of some island(?). It involved finding some pokemon with a weirdass buggy graphic... thats all remember.

#2 There was some rumor in Blue/Red/Yellow involving finding Mew in-game and having sex with Misty in her water gym LOL? Seriously, I heard this from many kids at my school and I'm still wondering how widespread it was...

#3 There was a rumor in Blue/Red/Yellow for finding Mew. To this day, I'm proud of myself for personally dispelling this rumor, but I'm interested to see if you've heard of it...

My pokemon memory is so vague... but I remember there being a cruise ship in Blue/Red/Yellow that you had to board. There was water around the dock-entrance to the ship, but you couldn't swim in it because, according to the natural progression of the game, you weren't supposed to have a pokemon with the 'swim' ability yet.

The rumor says that you wait on boarding this cruise ship, go out of your way to learn 'swim', come back to the dock, swim around the ship behind it. There's supposed to be a small island with a truck on it. You use 'bash' on the truck and Mew is supposed to be under it.

I tried this. To my surprise, there actually WAS an island with a truck way behind the ship! But I remember not being able to use 'bash' on it =(

Good memories... do these rumors sound familiar to anyone but me?



P.S. Did anyone play the gameboy "Pokemon Trading Card Game" game? Previously I had always collected the cards but never understood/cared about the actual trading card game. But they made a gameboy game that simulated the exact rules of the actual card game and I thought it was AWESOME.

there are no words to describe the awkwardness of being 27 years old standing in line at the checkout counter at best buy with a copy of pokemon platinum on release day..


i would have bought heartgold soulsilver but my fragile ego still needs time to recharge.

To dispel any such awkwardness, just become beefy like Incontrol, then you can proudly stand in line for pokemon.

lol @ awkwardness part.

I had never experienced problems doing this cheat. It worked everytime and was a super-cheap way to lvl up pokemon insanely fast.

I actually remember being 10 years old... One night my family and I visited my 16 yr. old brother at the high school for some event. I was passing the time playing Pokemon on my gameboy. Some high school kid came up to me, took out his gameboy w/ pokemon in it, and we started talking gamer-to-gamer. I remembering teaching him the rarecandy dupe trick and he was so thankful.

Later my brother said that kid was a geek and I shouldn't talk with him anymore o_O

It doesn't seem as elaborate as the truck rumor... but it's so simple I might have to fire up the ol' gameboy color and try it...

Sorry, nothing in this response is related to Pokemon Gold. Its all Blue/Red/Yellow. But i figured it might be relevant anyway...

One of the things that fascinated me most about pokemon gameboy games was all the hidden cheats/rumors that circulated around the game. I'd like to share some with you to see how widespread they actually were... please excuse my forgetfulness of all things pokemon... it's been a while!

#1 For those of us who played Blue/Red/Yellow... did everyone know about that rare-candy-dupe cheat swimming up and down the coast of some island(?). It involved finding some pokemon with a weirdass buggy graphic... thats all remember.

#2 There was some rumor in Blue/Red/Yellow involving finding Mew in-game and having sex with Misty in her water gym LOL? Seriously, I heard this from many kids at my school and I'm still wondering how widespread it was...

#3 There was a rumor in Blue/Red/Yellow for finding Mew. To this day, I'm proud of myself for personally dispelling this rumor, but I'm interested to see if you've heard of it...

My pokemon memory is so vague... but I remember there being a cruise ship in Blue/Red/Yellow that you had to board. There was water around the dock-entrance to the ship, but you couldn't swim in it because, according to the natural progression of the game, you weren't supposed to have a pokemon with the 'swim' ability yet.

The rumor says that you wait on boarding this cruise ship, go out of your way to learn 'swim', come back to the dock, swim around the ship behind it. There's supposed to be a small island with a truck on it. You use 'bash' on the truck and Mew is supposed to be under it.

I tried this. To my surprise, there actually WAS an island with a truck way behind the ship! But I remember not being able to use 'bash' on it =(

Good memories... do these rumors sound familiar to anyone but me?



P.S. Did anyone play the gameboy "Pokemon Trading Card Game" game? Previously I had always collected the cards but never understood/cared about the actual trading card game. But they made a gameboy game that simulated the exact rules of the actual card game and I thought it was AWESOME.




There actually was a way to catch mew in red/blue, but it was much more complicated than the ship/truck rumor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkF7Xjxn9jc
