I forgot how Pikachu is the only pokemon with a proper sprite sound lol

 

[Rizzi]

Cheers guys. I'll look up a guide so I don't miss them.

Hope it's up on the Aussie store when I get home

It's been up since like 3 am.

 

[Firemind]

It's up in Europe

Eshop was loading super slow though. Dat nostalgia!

Let's go!

 

[rootbeerafloat]

Gosh, I was ignoring this until I came into this thread, now I'm pretty hyped. Even though I bought that Pokemon GBC that came with Yellow, I was too burned out on Pokemon by then to even boot it up, so I'll go with that. Pretty ridiculous that the 3DS GB emulator can't even do SP palettes. Come on, Nintendo.

I'd still like to find out who stole my original skeleton Game Boy and my red with all 150 from my locker in 8th grade. Son of a bitch.

 

[Robin64]

30 mins to UK release!

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Already came across one thing

I'm inveterately holding down B to try and run rather than walk xD

"Proper"

I prefer this

Yeah the sounds are so bad xD

Holy shit. Gary just stole my starter. What a dick.

Perfect gif.

He's a grade A pokecunt

 

[MBS]

Yellow is the version to go. I can't find a single reason to choose R/B when Yellow is available.

 

[BodiesWithoutOrgans]

Gary so awesome he got all 10 badges in kanto

 

[Heropon]

I'm naming my pokémon this time after vehicles thanks to Wikipedia's random page. What's a good choice for Pikachu?

 

[falconxcrunner09]

I really want to get Yellow since its the superior version but I think I want to get Blue since that was the one I got back in the day. I wish I could just remember what starter I picked.

 

[TheAggroCraig]

I need that full nostalgia, and Red is the only way to do it. I'll get Yellow later (probably in a few days...)

Tesla Model X, probably too big but you can choose parts of it.

Tesla X it is. It actually sounds really cool so thanks!

He didn't beat Giovanni though.

In the anime verse there appear to be at least 20 gyms in Kanto.

It's actually pretty much the same sans an Eevee being stolen right in front of my eyes and a dorky Pikachu who can't evolve following me around.

Oh and colour! My god it's beautiful.

 

[The Shadow Knight]

My first encounter in Mt. Moon was a Clefairy, haha. Caught it too.

I'm going to get my dex count up a bit because I will probably need Flash to get through Rock Tunnel, I don't think I remember how to do it blindly.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

Good old times.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

It's been up since like 3 am.

Sweet, how much is it?

 

[Plasmid]

So if I want to trade to complete my pokedex how would I go about doing that? My wife has a 3DS, should I buy one of the versions on that so I can trade? You can't trade between two games with one system as far as I know.


Also is this game going up for the USA @12:01 ET?

You'd need Blue and she'd need Red (or vice versa), and you're good to go.

You'll need to reset a few times and hold on to Pokemon in each others game, though, to get all the starters and Eevee forms.

No problem. I'm buying all 3, Yellow and Red for me and blue for her. I can do resets etc no problem. Thanks!

 

[HeavyMetalLover91]

UK eSHOP GIVE ME YELLOW NOW

 

[Robin64]

Now up in the UK! eShop music changed too.

 

[doofy102]

Will they ever bring the 2nd generation? My gameboy pocket works fine, but my colour is fucked.

 

[FSLink]

There's also a trick to raise Pikachu's happiness to max immediately.

Have Pikachu at full health, then try to give it a potion multiple times. It won't heal and won't use the potion obviously, but it'd still give it happiness points. Just keep repeating until you get it to max.

 

[Jeels]

Think I'll go for yellow just to relive it

 

[Firemind]

How the hell do you beat Brock with Pikachu?

 

[KingBroly]

How the hell do you beat Brock with Pikachu?

You either over-level him like crazy

or get a Mankey like everyone else

 

[Kinsei]

How the hell do you beat Brock with Pikachu?

You catch something else or you grind for hours.

 

[Firemind]

The Pokemon I encountered there was Nidoran F.

 

[Nairume]

How the hell do you beat Brock with Pikachu?

Get pikachu to electrocute the fire alarm, causing the sprinkler to weaken Onix.

Spoiler

Unless you grind the hell out of pikachu, you probably need a Nidoran with Double Kick and/or a Butterfree with Confusion

 

[Persona7]

Is it possible to have an all mewtwo team

 

[Loris146]

How the hell do you beat Brock with Pikachu?

You can't. Catch a Mankey or Caterpie and train him until Butterfree.

 

[FSLink]

Mankey, Nidoran, or Butterfree.

 

[Chase17]

Amazon is saying it won't send my code for yellow until 3 EST. Looks like I'll be sticking with Fire Emblem tonight.

Hopefully I can make some good progress in yellow tomorrow to celebrate though.

 

[Dr. Feel Good]

You can't. Catch a Mankey or Caterpie and train him until Butterfree.

Mankey is your better bet.

 

[Darkgran]

So I was going to get this as my first Pokemon game but I guess I should start with Omega Ruby?

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Yep Mankey him up!

 

[doofy102]

Nah, if you want to go with a newer game, at least go with X/Y or Black/White. Omega Ruby is a 2D game that's been converted into 3D and doesn't sit right IMO.

 

[Persona7]

That is a good choice.

 

[Kaibutsu]

Koffing not being available in Yellow is really making me reconsider buying that version.

 

[Dad]

Anyone know yet if you can send RBY from Pokemon Bank back into the game, or can you only upload into the Bank?

 

[Josh5890]

I remember seeing a 6-man Mewtwo team when Nintendo Power had the Pokemon Center and people could send in their team.

Thunder shock.
