Ask PokéJungle: #J2XY — Generation I
The recent reveal of the Kanto Starter Mega Evolutions could not have come at a better time, they kicked off our Generation I theme week perfectly. It seems Game Freak are really giving Generation I a throwback, Pokémon: The Origin will be a hit with fans of all ages and Professor Sycamore giving players a Kanto Starter in X & Y, continues the trend of Generation I getting a bit of well deserved love.
Leading up to October 12 each week we will publish articles featuring on a Pokémon Generation, beginning with the first and ending with then fifth. After the fifth week our extensive Pokémon X & Y coverage will begin, including unique features and articles. To kick of the Journey to X & Y we’re starting with a Generation I Ask PokéJungle

This may be a little off topic and I don’t know if this was mentioned yet, but did anyone else notice this from the recent Pokemon Direct?
The hair?
No the trainer icon next to the one that looks like the main character has a completely different face from the other icons.
We’ve seen another character like that, one with purple hair. I’m thinking those are actual Trainer Classes, and they are being represented by those instead.
Oh okay that makes sense, I figured I’d point that out because it seems so interesting 🙂
For instance, I’m thinking that looks like a roughneck or whatever they call them, the biker gang type people.
Is that a fohawk (is that what it’s called?)
I think you mean Mohawk?
No there’s something that’s a small mohawk with no spikes or anything and you don’t put gel in it….
Huh, never heard of that before. You learn something new regarding hair every day!
*fauxhawk
No, I didn’t. Might be more customization then we thought.
Also, this might teach you a thing or two 🙂 (If you’re not Android)
http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/
Lol thanks and sorry for the quality of the pictures 🙂
Not that there’s anything wrong with it, I just thought that it would save you time if you didn’t know already.
Looks like a good friend.
sorry it’s aout off topic but my little brother sent to me a floatzel and look at the level .-.( fot the people who’re going to say something Im not a hack or something else)
It must evolve into Mega Floatzel at level 153 😛
that is imposiible!! any pokemon can level up 153
My Porygon can go up to level 195, fake story.
I used it and when a pokemon attack to me the HP grow up .-.
It’s the almighty invincible Floatzel, who gets stronger with every scar!
I think it’s a bad egg and you should get rid of it before it does something to your game!
I deleted it
Are you sure because it has a seal and it’s hard to get rid of a bad egg with a seal. I did it once but I forgot how..
I fixed it!! he was hanging a ball capsul and when I eliminated the ball capsule it get back to his real form! level 40
71 HP is still pretty low in my opinion haha
yeah but never mind im not playing that game, is my little brother who is playing pokemon platinum
Impossibru!
Wow his hp sucks for that level.
I bet that Pokemon won’t be able to go to X and Y.
I think it was a bad egg.
What other Generation 1 Pokemon would you all (Gym Leader and Fans alike) like to see a evolution or Megalution of? I want to see something done to Jynx, Lapras, Farfetch’d, Pinsir, Tauros, and maybe the Eeveelutions.
Victreebel
It may not be so Farfetch’d for those Pokemon to get Mega Evolutions. I think Eeveelutions should be evolution only. Lapras!!
Oh I forgot Lapras, and it’s in my top 5 favorite Water-types too!
Farfetch’d.
Mega Gengar please
Probably mew. Or maybe a megasnorlax!!
I feel like Mega Marowak could definitely have some potential.
Now that I think about it, I want an Electric/Fighting Mega Raichu.
Gengar.
Dugtrio.
Idk if this has been asked yet but what is your favorite Gen 1 pokemon? Mine is probably either snorlax or charizard : )
Changing my answer from before, I have to say Gyarados or Blastoise
I can’t narrow it down anymore than 2, so still Ninetales and Dragonair
Favourite location music? Ex. towns, caves, routes.
Cinibar for Kanto
Gen 1: Route 1
Gen 2: VS. Lance and VS. Red
Gen 3: All of it!! <3
Gen 4: Route 201
Gen 5: B2/W2 Gym leader theme
Gen 6: Intro theme/wild battle theme!! Wild battle being my favorite.
Oh ALL regions?
Kanto: Cinibar
Johto: Blackthorn
Hoenn: Sootopolis and Ever Grande
Sinnoh: Sunyshore and Snowpoint
Unova: Opelucid, Virbank, Route 10, and the route right before Victory Road in B2W2
Oh gosh I forgot about Meteor Falls
Seriously this music is awesome!
Very accurate recreation- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_YMW54XtjI
Official version- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNhY-J-WAIY
Oh My Arceus I cannot stress enough how I love this theme! <33
Route 23 in BW2.
Thats the one right before VR right?
Yes it is. It has music from all other generations; very cool.
It does?! I never noticed!
Yeah. It has Route 26, Rowan’s lab, Route 104 , and… Route 208?
Wow never noticed at all. It kind of reminded me of Route 119 in Hoenn, and that’s about it. Don’t know why but it did.
Gen 1: NP
Gen 2: NP
Gen 3: Abandoned Ship, Legendary music, some othere areas, but I forgot lol (wait, I have the game…)
Gen 4: Um… Full Moon Island/Eterna Forest/Lost Tower and New Moon Island/Old Chateau/Spring path (the latter gives me chills)
Gen 5: Victini Battle/Muskeeteer Trio (before Keldeo became known), Black City (also chills), Elite 4 music
Gen 6: Wild Battle and Gym Leader Battle (Official not released yet, but the duplicate is very accurate)
Actually, we don’t know if the Gen 6 Music revealed at WCS Vancouver is the Gym Leader theme or the Gym Trainer theme.
Right, but I love the imitation one on YouTube; sounds chill yet pressurizing at the same time, imo.
Gen 1: FR Pokemon league theme, champion battle
Gen 2: None
Gen 3: ALL
Gen 4: Cynthia and route 228(night)<—-trust me
Gen 5: BW: N battle and gym leader, elite 4
BW2: Ghetsis, hoenn champion, gym leader
Celadon City. And Probably Oak’s Lab.
The best music? Gen 2, Game Corner!
I am very torn on to whole Mega Evolution and traditional evolution thing. In my opinion, only fully evolved (second stage) Pokemon should get Megas, and anything under should get a regular evolution or nothing at all.
I completely agree, unless its already a very powerfull Pokémon like Lucario
I think Gamefreak did megas so that their favorite pokemon would still have a chance to be used in battle. Some people didn’t want a full fledged evolution of Mawile, so they went for middle-ground. Also, Eviolite.
Mega- Gengar!! He really need a mega evolution!! He’s perfect
If gengar gets one, alakazam needs one as well
no!! Alakazam is good!! Gengas’s a bad defence
Even if it was given a Mega, that wouldn’t mean it would have good defense. Besides, they have the same number of weaknesses, unless levitate is taken away, and Gengar has higher defense than Alakazam.
I find it hard to talk about gen 1 sometimes. Yeah, it was the beginning of Pokemon and it has sentimental value with most, if not all, Pokemon fans. However, other than that there is not much to talk about other than the pokemon, gym leaders, and glitches. There’s only so much we can talk about, given that there are really no cool features in the game like there are in the current gen.
Don’t forget it was those things that set up the basis of every single main game to come.
I would like to hear all the staff’s gen 1 first game story. Where did you get your game? Which did you get Red Blue or was it Yellow? What color was your Gameboy? Which starter did you pick? Would you pick them again with their new Mega Evolutions? Did you get stuck at all? I got lost in Mount Moon like three times.
Pokemon Blue was the second videogame I ever got. I was really sick that day, and I stayed in my dad’s car(which is odd now that I think about it), while my dad went into a store to get a copy of Yellow. My gameboy was purple, and I picked Squirtle as my first starter, but it took me awhile before I learned how to save my data. I played the game for awhile, but I absolutely could not figure out what I had to do to satisfy the thirsty guards, so my playthrough of the actual story stopped around that time.
I got Red from Toys R Us along with a red (although it was actually pink) GameBoy Color, to replace my GameBoy. I believe I picked either Squirtle or Charmander, yes I’d pick them both again for their Mega Evolutions. I remember getting stuck in Rock Tunnel, but I went through it blind without Flash.
Every frickin cave in the early series were very difficult for me as a child. I guess I was a bit dumb and naive and I was always going in unprepared. I recall starting my game over many times because I would get lost in the Kanto caves
Oh dear 😛
I’ve never been completely lost, just got a little stuck but then found my way out of it!
Frankly I love where Gen6 seems to be going,it’s blending the new(cant wait to kick some serious ass with Pangoro) and the old(blastoise has always been my fav gen1 so I’m very stoked about him/her becoming even more badass with that awesome head cannon) if what we seen is any indication,I don’t feel to out of line saying that x&y looks to be the start of a golden age of pokemon and I can’t be more excited
Pokemon x and y is shaping up to be the best pokemon game ever with the exception of gen one so I think that it will top every chart
Who actually started the ‘mew under the truck’ hilarity? Also, did anyone else fall for ‘if you stand in Mt Moon and use the itemfinder 100 times a Togepi egg will appear’?
(in my defense I was 11 and these were my first video games EVER…I was pretty easily tricked back then)
I have never heard of any of those
Who started ANY of those rumors? Don’t forget all the PokeGods stuff that started to float about, ways to evolve the starter beyond their final forms and other Pokemon, or other ways to get Mew, such as it was thought if you could somehow get behind Bill’s house in that random space, you would encounter Mew. Why Generation One was the source of all these kind of rumors, and the others never had anything CLOSE. One exception was the belief if you could somehow get the rocket launch count in Ruby and Sapphire over 100 or something like that, you could ride a rocket to the moon where you’d encounter Jirachi or Deoxys or something like that.
Ok I’ve heard of the Jirachi and Deoxys rumor
I have a cousin who was OBSESSED with proving that Jirachi/Deoxys rumor right
I have heard about finding Jirachi in D/P/Pt after battling 100 Pokemon in Iron Island luckily in the comments people said it was fake or I would have fallen for it (I was 10 and could have actually done it)
There was one I heard about where in Pearl you could find a Mew on the route underneath the Bike Path
I was told about it through people in my school
I miss these kind of rumours in older games…
I remember hearing rumors of Shaymin being encounterable in Victory Road in DPPt, specifically on the first bridge near the entrance, so I spent around 5 hours looking around. I was a pretty stupid kid.
To be fair, Shaymin IS found near the Victory Road.
I think that is how the rumor was started. In fact, it could have been some confusion between me and my friends way back in the day.
Well, I know the mew under the truck rumor originated in Japan, so it must have crossed overseas through the Internet.
You don’t know how much I would like to do an IRL PokeJungle meet-up, so all of us commenters can actually meet each other. Maybe one day…
What’s IRL?
In real life 🙂
Pfft, doy, stupid me!
You’re not stupid D: You wouldn’t post those very witty comments then D:
Lol, thanks! 🙂
In Real Life
But we are living around the world… PJ in Tokio, many people in America, myself in Germany … Oo”
We’ve actually sort of arranged one before, but it was last minute so got canceled. That said some of us staff have met before, and will be doing so again.
My first game was Yellow. And I was extremely careful because I thought that pokemons die when they were K.O. ^^
What do you guys think the most creative and well-thought of Pokémon from Gen 1 was?
Ditto.
Mewtwo~so much backstory. http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Generation_I_Pok%C3%A9mon
Gengar. Not sure why, I just like it 🙂
I’m 23, I started with gen 1 red version back in 1998. But unlike genwunners, I actually stayed with pokemon for 15 years and never gave up on it. I think every generation is amazing in it’s own way. But Gen 1 holds a special place in my heart, and I really can’t change that because it’s my very first pokemon game. That said, gen 1 is NOT my favorite generation, gen 3 is my favorite generation (specifically emerald version). I am extremely excited that gamefreak is trying to attract an older audience and trying it’s best to tell the world that pokemon is not for kids, it’s for everyone. I hope they continue to prosper so well that one day pokemon will be loved and known throughout the world as a universal language of communication.
I didn’t know that they were trying to attract an older audience! That makes me really happy! Well put, regidudeam.
Wow, very well said. I am 14 myself, and even though some people may find it odd that I play Pokemon even at my younger age, I have vowed to never let go of it as a passion. No words can pull me away from the attraction of the series, and none ever will. Pokemon should remain indefinite in everybody’s life; it’s easy to pick out the people who give in to peer pressure in this scenario. Long Live Childhood!
I’m curtain that most bandwagon trend chasers dropped out of Pokemon around the end of the second generation, and the rest dropped out before the fourth generation.
That’s completely true, I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
That’s a good way to put it; the Pokemon community has lost many people because it was losing its touch to all the “trendy” people who only do things for others. They were never true fans to begin with.
Well to be fair, fourth generation was pretty repetitive, and fifth gen didn’t do much justice. Unless someone is a very hardcore fan, most people would probably drop the series due to boredom. I’ve been hearing a lot of people start to seriously consider picking back up pokemon for sixth gen, because they are doing some innovative, different stuff. I’ve even see someone pick up pokemon for the -first time- for this upcoming generation.
dunno about that, i’m 16 i started with fire red played emerlad later sapphire and pearl/platnuim around 3 years ago ( probably right before heart gold was announced) i quit because i felt i was to old for it, then later last year i found myself watching some walkthoughs and choose to give the new games a chance, i bought black 2 on december 26th and fell in lvoe with it again, no one can hate pokemon they can just stop giving it a chance, i can guarantee if genwunners gave black,white black 2 and white 2 a chance they’d love it
I dropped out but came back and still caught it when I could. Then again, I missed out for lots of reasons and got into it again as soon as I had the opportunity. I’m still a true fan.
I’m 15 and I first found out about Pokemon when I was 3, I have watched and played Pokemon ever since and I hope never to let go of it.
Amen! ^-^ I remember when I was 12, mum told me to take care of my Pokemon cards so I could sell them later. “You might not be into pokemon when you’re 15,” she said.
I turn 25 this week. Sorry mum, those cards are staying and so is my love of Pokemon! xD
I started playing it when I was 10 and I’m now 23 (only because my parents never got Red or Blue for me before) but I watched since the anime began in the UK. The only generation I never experienced properly was Gen 3 because of personal problems and no money. I love the look of X&Y and I don’t think it’s ruining anything when it comes to the old game. Every game series and TV series evolves with new plots and discoveries within that world, Mega Evolution and other stuff is just adding to it.
My cousin got me into pokemon when I was young. I’m eighteen and started playing with yellow that I got for Christmas. It was okay, but I was young and got frustrated with Brock and having to catch a Nidoran. I purchased Crystal with spare change and weekly dollars I got for chores. I played that for a while. I have it still, but what happened to cause it not to save is a story for later. I remember when I was in Walmart and saw Sapphire in shiny packaging. I gathered everything and bought my favorite generation a week later!
I started on Yellow version, but got the leaf green and chose Bulbasuar. The first generation had the most poison type in my opinion, favorite part was the S.S Anne.
I am like you I started with red and blue and have done each main game since (inclu green import) I really am not a gen specific person I have my faves from each gen such as the starters and my all time fav hounddoom. What I wan it more kinds of Pokémon and I would love a wolf and dolphin.
With you there on Houndoom…my favorite dark type and my favorite fire type of all time
that is another thing that I would love for them to do come with different types and add more of existing ones such as:(in no order)
Grass/ghost
fire/electric
Fire/water
fairy/dark
dark/ghost
fighting/ice
poison/dragon
ice/poison
Ice/Poison seems pretty deadly! Don’t forget about Dragon/Fairy!
yes that too
I could so love an ice/poison wolf Pokémon that would be fun to use.
type makes them interesting even if they have several weaknesses it could still be fun to use for someone.
dark/psychic would be a fun combo
Well, we are getting a Dark/Psychic combo in Malamar.
Inkay and Malamar are Dark/Psychic
I know and I am so looking forward to using them.
I can’t wait for x/y 🙂
Considering how popular wolves are in Japan (and in general) I’m really surprise they haven’t invented a wolf Pokemon. Poochyena is close, I guess, despite Mightyena being a hyena. Everything else is far too dog-like.
We have dark/ghost but still, agreed.
i wish my siblings were a lot more like you…
I’m 23 too, turning 24 this month, and started just like you. I remember borrowing my big brother’s Gameboy all the time to play Red. Mom decided to get me my own Gameboy Color (it was the see through purple one) so I could play Silver. I even remember standing in line to get my preordered copy of Yellow at Best Buy.
Even though I’m older, Pokemon has been a huge part of my childhood. My friends were never into video games so I’d always trade and such with my brother and his friends. Since I’m female, lots of stereotypical people were shocked that I’d love something so ‘boyish’ instead of dolls and stuff. Like I care. Besides, my brother and boyfriend are both huge Pokemon fans too, which makes the games even more fun!
What’s great is my 9 year old sister is also a huge Pokemon fan. I didn’t even get her into it…some of her friends did. So Pokemon is still going strong even in newer generations. I’ve helped her with understanding a lot about the games, since she missed out on older generations. She’s severely dyslexic, so my brother and I help her through the games…watching her do dumb stuff like level her Typhlosion to 63 at the eighth gym makes me remember my own childhood.
Pokemon is something I can share with the people I care about, and has been a staple of my childhood. There’s been other stuff, like YuGiOh and other main stream series, but nothing has held its own like Pokemon. Some people have things like Disney, Flintstones, etc as their childhoods…mine is Pokemon. Nothing immature, boyish, or childish about it. It’s what I like and if someone has a problem I’ll just make fun of whatever they like to do.
For anyone who played the first generation back when it was the only generation i would like to know whether there were any indications that Pokémon would become such a huge success ?
I think it was the anime, back then saturday morning cartoons were really popular and internet really wasn’t. It was discussed in school by everyone. Back then you never felt like you had to hide your love of pokemon, because even the teachers knew about it. All of that changed after 4 years when we got older.
… Eh, I wouldn’t go that far. Maybe the first year, but at least where I grew up, a stigma quickly started to form, and being seen playing Pokemon, or talking about it got you branded rather harshly.
Yes it wasn’t for too long, but you have to admit that there was a period, when everyone openly knew about it.
I guess that is what they call the Fad Phase of Pokemon.
True
Branded !? you had it tough. In my university pokemon is considered like a weird/cool thing even for the normal ppl
Well, now maybe, no one really cares anymore. Just, at the time, when things had just gotten started, from 4th/5th grade through all of high school, playing Pokemon was seen as prime fodder for bullies.
Oh yeah…so true. 2nd grade and maybe 3rd grade were the happy days.
The card game and fast food merchandise helped as well.
http://www.blue-reflections.net/ragecandybar/projects/pokegods/
I was doing some research on the dawn of the Internet and Pokemon; good read 🙂
Ah memories…good times…xD
I used to have a terrible principal who eventually caught wind of the Pokemon craze, and on one one fateful day she made an announcement saying that all Pokemon related items were to be banned. She literally walked up to us, a large group of very little kids, and ripped the rare Pokemon cards out of our hands. At that point, many of the fans dropped out, but a small portion of us did not. I am one of the lone survivors.
I think back when I was in elementary we had something similar to that…haha xD
D: That’s a terrible thing to do!
Yeah my incident was Elementary School, first grade. It was right around the time Gen 3 came out, so Pokemon was reaching its revolutionary peak.
My principals (most anyway) loved for us kids to play and talk about stuff like Beyblades, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh because it gave personalities and social fun. That just sounds terrible.
i watched the anime and long after that i started getting interested in the games.
It’s the same for me because games were expensive for a 10 year old.
well we also went thru the few parents that thought that it was evil.
I am glad that mine were not that way my mom bought me my first pokemon deck and red,blue and green for xmas. then it went to yellow and all the others I have one copy of each main game and several spinoffs (btw I am 28) I still love the games and always will.
I don’t think they were expecting it to be as big of a success. Personally, that was my everyday life. I collected pokeball keychains, grabbed my cap and Pikachu backpack, my stuffed talking pikachu, and would run around in the field and woods, Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall playing pokemon. Thats the only imaginary life I had and I made friends doing it. I miss those days… It only got better with the next gen, Hoenn was when my imaginary games stopped though because of my parents. (My dad is a real dick with some things.) But I grew up with Pokemon being my best friend basically.
Did any of you guys start with Pokemon Yellow? I did, I wanted the exact same team as Ash, and that’s exactly what I did 🙂
I did same team and every thing.
Yep. Same team and all with the exception of the pretty much requires Nidoran to beat Brock.
I used butterfree for Brock ^^;
You sir, had one powerful Butterfree! Lol. I tried that but you can say it didn’t work out.
might have been confusion….xD
I think it was either Sleep/poison powder + confusion 🙂
Ooh… True facts. I don’t know how far I leveled up my Pikachu to beat him the first time. I thing I got to 20 and restarted out of frustration.
I think my Pikachu was lvl 18, and Butterfree was lvl 15 maybe 16 I grinded cause I saw my friends with Blue/Red had problems with him :]
The only way you could have a problem with him on Red or Blue is if you chose Charmander! I kept restarting so I could pick one of the ones my cousin had! Oh young minds!
Yea I understand that now, my friends would always ask me to trade 1 of my starters to them & I always said ”No!” xD
I started with charmander and beat him with it too I was just really hard to do.
No but I’m saving up to buy one ^.^
There is a Smash today right?
Yup.
Ugh there’s no article up yet and it airs in less than 2 hours
Yes there is! 😀
Keep expectations low
I’m not expecting much 🙂
I guess today’s Smash is semi-important, because we’ll get to see a small preview of next week’s episode and get an idea of what to expect.
Who else remembers the Pokemon pop-tarts with the Squirtle, Charmander, Bulbasaur, or Pikachu in them? Also the pokemon cereal!?
I do.
I don’t, but that sounds quite amazing.
I do! was my favorite ceral back then & The Pokemon poptarts were my 1st poptarts 😀
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkGRg5pq0OA I was to young to even know about it 🙁 Was it good?
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_food_products
http://pxlbyte.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/pokemon-pop-tarts.jpg
The cereal was basically lucky charms with deformed pokemon marshmallows. The poptarts were really good though. I only got Charmander though…
Edit: Just opened those links… MEMORIES ARE COMING BACK!
I do, I am beginning to think that I am one of the old farts on this site LOL
good to be an oldie though :)!!!
Lol! True story! I was hit with a wave nostalgia of how I felt the days the memories I’ve shared happened! I could cry it seems so long ago the good days happened!
Ah don’t worry about it…I’m sure there are many fans around your age. I think dookieshed on youtube is
Really? They had that? Hnnngh… I was probably too young then.
I remember when Burger king had their first Pokemon toys in 1999. I got Raichu
The ones promoting the new movie or the ones with the pokeballs?
Pokeballs.
Yes. I can’t remember what I got in mine though. I do remember local news stating that they were being recalled locally or something because of a suffocation issue for kids.
I have all the pokeball ones
No pun intended but Burger king stopped promoting them because kids were choking on the Pokeballs.
lol yeah but I never did, wow parental supervision actually works sometimes. all jokes aside it just is amazing that bad things like that happen to things like this reminds me of the porygon eps and the jinx debacle
anyone have or had any of the pokemon jelly jars? I had meowth at one time but I think I lost it. I will have to look up where I can find them now.
I HAD ONE! The paint came off. I think it had Ash, Pikachu and the other starters. It was grape flavored =3
Oh wow, you’ve just awoken a memory in my mind that has been asleep since my childhood. Wow. I know exactly what you’re talking about. I had a Squirtle and Poliwhirl one, and I used it for a pencil case.
ikr, I wish I had not lost it and I also wish I had gotten more of them.
I JUST FOUND MINE IN MY ROOM AND I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT. please let me take a picture.
yes plz I would love the and thank you
http://i.imgur.com/aKwrxwG.jpg
I never knew they existed… :'(
Do you remember the excitement you felt when getting your first Pokemon game? Pepperidge Farm remembers. I got Pokemon Emerald in my Christmas stocking when I was 6, and a couple years later I was driven to my local Target to get Pearl (which I sadly don’t have any more). Those were some good times.
mine was Christmas also I got red/blue and a starter deck. I also got Green imported a month or so later. it was great!
Yes! I was 6 when I got LeafGreen. It was in April and it was a complete surprise! 🙂
I have another funny story to share. So, back in the days of Emerald, my friend said he found out how to get a shiny Pokemon. I had no idea what he was talking about at the time; he said that if you kept looking around in the grass on a certain route, you would find a shiny Whismur. I told him to find one and show me, and he did. Out of sheer luck, he actually found a shiny Whismur like the unhelpful site said, and we have laughed at this memory forever. And I still have yet to find a shiny Pokemon in my Gen 3 games, of course!
My first shiny in Emerald was a Poochyena, but remember we are traversing back into 1998, where there was only Generation 1, ok? 😉
This thought just popped up into my head, and I wanted to out it in written form before I forgot about it. Sorry! 😛
Leave a sticky somewhere and get back to it. There is a sweet remix of the Abandoned Ship from RSE I want to post here, but I won’t until two weeks from now.
EDIT: Ignore any spelling mistakes I might do, I’m disoriented when I’m sick. 🙁
Sounds good. I’ll probably find it on my own before then though.
My very first shiny in gen 3 after putting in over 300 hours of playtime was Regice….hence my name.
My first legit shiny was the Red Gyarados, but the one that took me by surprise was the shiny Budew I caught in front of the Old Chateau in Diamond. I’m still trying to figure out where it went.
I have a funny story like that, when Diamond & Pearl came out I found a shiny Shinx (I thought Shinx’s were suppose to be yellow, + I had nvr seen/heard of shinies) but I didn’t want to use it because I wanted Pachirisu but I caught it anyways for data, when my friend looked through my pc boxes He freaked out saying I had 2 shinies! (I imported my shiny Beedrill) I had no idea what he was talking about. When he told me about shinies I was so baffled xD
I found my first legit shiny was in Emerald too. … Shiny Rayquaza. Needless to say, I was quite excited about it.
I’m booting up my old Emerald right now, maybe today will be my lucky day 😀
I actually got two shinies one after another on white two, but I have a felling it had to do with the ov. charm
The first shiny I ever seen was Golbat in Ruby verson thought the game had a glitch, later my first caught was a Slakoth in Soul silver and.
My first shiny was a Cleffa in Pearl:) I also got a shiny Whismur in Sapphire and Emerald multiple times, and I eventually got many more shinies including Mawile, Riolu, and Pidove 🙂
I have only caught shinies in emerald for some weird reason! I got a whismur, golbat, sabelye, spheal, and pelliper! never had another one since 😀
