Yeah, the real problem with Chikorita is that it sucks in Sprout Tower, Violet Gym, Azalea Gym, Azalea Forest, Ecruteak Gym, Olivine Gym, Mahogany Gym, Ice Path, and Blackthorn Gym.

That's true, but there are still a lot of situations where grass types can be useful.

Then again we're most likely not going to have much else for pokemon in our party, so that could be a pretty significant issue. Although I'm 99% sure you can solo the game with Togepi/Togetic, so we should be fine.

Thanks! It was just a lucky guess (and the lowest available number at the time). A commemorative avatar would be nice, but my internet seems to have a problem loading them so I wouldn't be able to see it anyway. So I'll settle for a Platinum Upgrade.

I actually don't see how they're going to get the sword, as it involves holding down B while walking right. Maybe the ROMhack takes out things like that.

The more I think about it, the more I want them to have to deal with a Level 81 Zapdos at the end of Gold/Silver.

I'm working on a rom hack with this, I'll send it to the creator on the off chance they want to use it. Would it be better with Twitch's team's levels, so Zapdos is the only hard fight, or should Red have the rest of the team at level 70+ like in regular Gold? I'm thinking Omastar should be Red's first Pokémon because it's so iconic.

They should definitely be 70+ with good movesets.

I grew up on platformers, Mario and Donkey Kong and the like. I dunno, I had Nintendo systems (SNES, N64, Gameboys, etc), I just... never had any Zelda games. Or Metroid games actually. I suppose it's probably because my mom bought games she wanted to play and she wanted to play platformers.

I mean, you're totally a huge nerd. But I swear I'm not an alien.

Surprisingly, pixel mode seems to be making it easier for the consensus to determine the direction we go, anyway.

I vote to level them, but keep their movesets. Also give them all random berries to hold.

I think a flat 10 or 20 level increase to all would be a better way to show the time progression.

Edit: Can you also script red to run randomly for 5 minutes before talking to the player?

Strange, I thought it would be more iconic for Omastar to be last because of the long fossil to pokemon awakening and because final boss come last.

ATV's moveset would actually be pretty dangerous against a TPP team, since they can't reliably use items to clear status effects. End up with the whole team paralyzed or poisoned due to incompetent switching out. You could give him Psybeam in place of leech life though :getin:

I think you could match the structure of the "real" Red fight pretty well, actually:
  • Pikachu - Zapdos (Their movesets and levels are almost the same too.)
  • Lapras* - Lapras
  • Snorlax - Pidgeot
  • Venusaur - Venomoth
  • Charizard - Nidoking
  • Blastoise - Omastar
That puts Omastar last, which works pretty well. I'd be wary of levelling them, as that Zapdos on it's own is almost as much of a threat as Red's entire real team.

(* - Okay, technically this was an Espeon in G/S/C. They fixed it for HG/SS, though.)
