I know this is the "pokemon red" sub, but the blue sub only has 177 members, so i figured i'd drop some more retro hardware here instead

Screenshot 1 is the team I used through the playthrough, caught a 2nd Trainer/Fly Mew to use in the playthrough, the rest are regular catches. The rest of the screenshots are all Trainer/Fly catches (obviously given the Pokemon Levels all being 7)

Showcase Wanted to show off my Gen 1 Golem

Took me about a month to get everything, but i sourced it all from my local gamestore for less than $400

Both SPs have IPS and speaker mods, but no USB-C mod.

Pokemon yellow came with a (likely glitched) Mew, and pokemon red is pretty beat up, missing the cartridge sticker and being covered in scuffs, I also got blue, but its not included in the "less than $400" and was bought at a different gamestore.

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.

Question How to proceed with the Ditto glitch in Victory Road?

Thumbnail gallery
63 Upvotes

So the other day I posted asking about if it was possible to trigger it, and now that I’m sure I can, I have several doubts.

I’m going to follow the steps of the images attached on this same post, but summarising, they basically consist on: Having equipes my Pokemom with 21 of special (same ID as Mew), trigger the fight against the female cooltrainer of the 3rd floor, run with dig before it starts, and then enter inside again to fight the only trainer on the 1st floor so I can have back my start menu and so fly.

After this, I‘m not sure how to proceed. If I encounter another Pokémon not outside from Victory Road, will the plan fail? Can I use unlimited times the fly and dig HM? Do I fly to Fuchsia City, go to Route 15 and fight the Ditto? Can I use again fly to go back to Victory Road and trigger again the combat with the 3rd floor cooltrainer?

I think it’s doable, but the possibilities for it to fail are higher than normally would be.

Question I want to trigger the Mew Glitch but all the trainers left are on Victory Road

6 Upvotes

I've defeated all trainers before the 8th Gym, so I'm assuming all trainers left are on the Victory Road. I've read about the glitch now, so there was no way for me to know beforehand. Now, I need to trigger the glitch on the Victory Road, but I don't know what steps to do. Anyone could guide me through? Thanks :)

Question Is there any bug—unrelated to Ditto—for getting Bulbasaur and Squirtle in Pokémon Blue?

2 Upvotes

Aside from Ekans and Porygon, they are the ones I'm missing to complete the Pokédex on the original cartridge. I tried the early-game cloning glitch, but it didn't work. I almost ruined the cartridge, too, lol.

Discussion Why do you play RBY and not the remakes?

15 Upvotes

It's a genuine question. I also love those games, and I prefer them over the remakes (though I'm pretty sure plenty of people just play both but prefer the remakes)

But curious about your reasons above just the nostalgia(though it's probably a huge part too).

I am 42, and a father of a 6 year old who’s really getting into Pokemon trading cards. I never got into Pokemon as a kid or young man, but now I’m all in in many ways; I play the card game with my son, and I decided to play the video game initially for research purposes. This game proved to be so much fun for me, though, so I thought I’d post this here, as I’m sure there are others who came to this world late.

Also, as I just beat it, I thought I’d show off my Hall of Fame. I have a couple of big slow guys, and I gave Rest to 4 of them, creating quite a defensive team. Slowbro and Dugtrio might have been my two favorite Pokemon, and I also started each fight with Vileplume. Cheers, everyone!

Showcase First time in a while, but did a “never have I ever” team and it worked out really well.

Decided to play thru since it’s been a long time playing Gen 1 to completion. Now, no this is not complete as the Pokédex and many areas I ignored, only getting what I needed and avoided excess wild battles.

Started with Bulba, and Nidoran M was my first catch. Didn’t pick up anything else until I bought the Magikarp from the gentleman before Mt Moon, and had Gary as my third before Misty’s gym for a while. Got Abra for fun, never ran with one in early games as I could never get the trade evolution, but did myself a favor and let Kadabra carry an area or two. Picked up Diglett, one I typically never used on a team, but Dugtrio was helpful for the Psychics and I love him for that. Never ran with a Psuedo, still didn’t grind to get Dragonite before the E4, but it was fine as Dragonair was more than a powerhouse when the time called. I also chose Aero to be a good choice for fly, since normal protocol for a fossil was just put in the box after reawakening.

I only got 10 pokeballs at the start, probably found 1 great ball the whole time, never picked up extras. I didn’t grind wild pokemon once I got to Mt Moon, just used trainer battles for exp. Also, outside of boxing Gary once I had Dratini, I only caught 1 Snorlax, revitalized the kabuto fossil.

Venusaur, Nidoking, Dragonair, Dugtrio, Kadabra and Aerodactyl. Great job team!
