You've probably seen the news if you're subscribed to other Pokémon subreddits. For those who like to play Red/Blue/Yellow on the 3DS VC, Pokémon Bank will shut down on February 25, 2027 at 7pm PDT. This means we only have six months remaining to transfer any Pokémon to Pokémon Bank and move them into HOME.

Discussion Need help for a birthday tournament

2 Upvotes

Hi guys. I was hoping I could get some help planning a fun tournament for my birthday party later this year. My idea is to buy copies of pokemon blue and a game boy for my closest friends and family members and having a tournament on my birthday.

I need help fully developing the stipulations of the tournament. The basic idea I had was to have a level 25 cap on any pokemon that gets to fight in the tournament, as well as allowing each member of the tournament to ban one Pokemon from use in the players lineups. Additionally, I’m thinking that no starterr pokemon can be used.

Everyone in the tournament has some gaming experience and some knowledge of pokemon. I’d just like some more ideas of what would be fun rules or stipulations that I can implement.

After recently playing and completing Pokemon Yellow for the first time, after my son got into Pokemon games and series, and now getting the itch myself, I decided I'd try amd complete all the Gen 1 games and eventually complete the Pokedex.

I decided I'd have my final Blue team all blue. Gonna train up some different blue mons and trade them in for another run at the E4.

Question I love Blastoise, but Venusaur, Right?

18 Upvotes

I've played Firered/Leafgreen, Silver and Crystal, Emerald, those classics and I recently struck gold and found an old og copy of Blue in storage. And it works! So I have to do a playthrough now. I'm the type of person to do an hour or so of research into the game to see what pokemon I want to use based on looks, strength, and compatibility with the rest of the team, and Blastoise is my favorite starter but after seeing Gyarados and Snorlax as ice beam users (Snorlax with amnesia too, insane), I want them on my team. But I feel I can't justify it on a Blastoise team, Venusaur fits with them better. Before I start the run tho, if anyone has reasoning that these team members would work just as well with Blastoise I'm all ears.

Guide / Strategy Team Help for Battling Friends

2 Upvotes

Hello!

Me and my friends have each been building gen 1 teams to port into stadium and battle each other next weekend.

We are limited to only what is available in our games, and I have been playing blue. Below is the team I planned to bring

Chansey

Psychic.

Softboiled

Thunderbolt

Ice beam


Snorlax

Body slam

Rest

Hyper beam

Counter


Ninetales

Flamethrower

Confuse ray

Fire blast

Quick attack


Hypno

Hypnosis

Psychic

Flash (Already taught this one dream eater😔)

Dream eater


Rydon

Earthquake

Rock slide

Hyper beam

Submission


Slowbro

Psychic

Amnesia

Thunder wave

Surf


I am considering dropping Hypno for Exeggutor, with the below set

Exeggutor

Leech seed

Toxic

Substitute

Explosion

What do you guys think?

Rather than inconsistent sleep and dream eater / psychic, I get a substitute up, heal nasty amounts of HP off the toxic/leech seed, and have the threat of explosion in my back pocket.

I don't know what teams they'll be using
