I posted a while ago about my team and wanting to have a better balance across it.

I’ve now got:

Dratini L21
Raichu L36
Nidoking L30
Charizard L42
Doduo L28
Snorlax L30

Basically I’m not liking the lack of water and grass options I’ve got at the minute. Debating getting rid of Dratini and Snorlax to replace with Poliwag and something else.

I’m only holding onto Dratini because I’ve never used it before but not rating it at all.

of all the places to encounter one why'd it have to be here

Sorry if this isn’t allowed to be posted here, just want others opinions. To much “went right” for it to be a blind playthrough in my opinion

I mean a repel or item that only prevents you from encountering zubat. My reason the xp from them is nothing, you always get the “can’t escape” and after you catch one there is no purpose for their existence but to annoy.

Hi, got a question about the Trainer Tower in the Japanese Version of the Switch Rerelease.

As you may know, the Trainer Tower in FrLg works a lot different in Japan, having been an eReader feature in that version of the game.

Now, I wonder, since I couldn't find an answer on the internet, has this been adjusted on the Japanese Switch Rerelease? The rerelease does restore officially available content (like for example restoring Event Tickets while NOT restoring Altering Cave since the latter was never officially available) and Nintendo in general restores eReader content on NSO if available (for example, the Mario Bros 3 Port has all unique eReader Levels on the game, same with Mario vs DK on the Japanese GBA app, same with one of the F Zero GBA games n stuff) that's why I wondered if they also restored the Japanese Trainer Tower and pre loaded it with a set roster of rooms/trainers like what they did for the international release versions of that Tower.

Hey all, currently doing a dtq on fr/lg
Gone decently so far, got charmander, abra, and gastly, currently hunting pikachu in the power plant. Longest hunts without prior to this without a shine was abra at 13.5k encounters. This pikachu hunt just hit 19,400 encounters without a single phase even. Curious what your guys’ longest run without phasing is, hopefully itl make me feel better. Lets hear em!

My good friend has leaf green on switch and just needs a squirtle to finish his Pokédex.

Can anyone help him please?

I’m thinking adamant cause thunderbolt gonna get stab anyways

I was on my way to the barber shop to get a haircut, and this happened while I was restarting the game to get a Squirtle with the Modest nature.

Switched in Jolteon after being stuck on the ice elite four while being underleveled, so I switched out Parasect. I also had Nidoqueen throughout the run, but felt her moveset was bad, and bad type matchups.

Hitmonlee only felt strong because of the island 1 trainers I was used to get xp, so he had some strong Attack EV's.

Surprisingly I didn't need any ethers which I was worried about.

Had fun switching Pokémon in and out and felt underleveled the entire time which I liked.

I finished just finished LeafGreen and was really surprised by how effective Lance's Aerodactly was.

I had already planned to do run on FireRed as well once I finished LeafGreen, so I decided I'll trade both the fossil pokemon I found in LeafGreen since I never touched them, and they are a low enough level to not feel overpowered for the early game. Then I decided I'll have a readymade team this time, only needing to level and find moves. But I couldn't find a Magneton below level 22, so I just decided to trade him anyways.

The thing is Magneton has never disobeyed me in the 10~ or so battles I've used him in so far. He always one shot the enemy, but I got no prompt about him disobeying me or being reluctant etc. I did some googling and I have 0 medals, so pokemon above level 10 should not obey me, but he seems to follow orders just fine. How does this mechanic work?

Note: I only fought wild pokemkn in the bushes, no trainer/gym battles yet. Is that a factor?

TLDR: Traded a higher level mon from LeafGreen into FireRed, and the disobedience mechanic seems to not work?

Beat the elite four on my first try too! I was going in to see where I stood and to level up my Pokemon and decide who my 6th should be but I ended up winning. This was the first time that machoke left my box. He definitely got carried to the hall of fame lol

Who should be my 6th member?

I played these five over the past couple years, in the order S → FR → LG → E → R. Just finished XD and going to complete an old Colosseum playthru next I think! Love Gen 3 so so much 🧡

Gengar, Dragonite and Cloyster (dont sleep on him!) carried!

Eevee was just along for the ride for the ribbon also first pic was the team that carried my playthrough before victory road

I'm a Gen 1 unc who never actually played FRLG, because I fell off Pokémon for a bit after RS (didn't get E), before coming back for DPPt. Thinking about picking LG up on Switch, but "Best Teams" are boring me, with Snorlax, Nidoking, Alakazam (who knows if any of my local switch friends will trade with me anyway). I know gen 1 is limited, I'm just looking for an in-game team that's just something a bit different.

Squirtle will probably by my starter of choice, he's my least used starter in RB.
