Whatever happened to stickers that would pop out when your Pokemon came out. That was a Pokemon thing right and not some weird fever dream?

Pokeball Seals! That was Gen IV. Like many new features it was limited to that generation, though I have to admit I don't think anyone cares.

They show up on Route 22, which is the lead-up to Victory Road in yellow. They show up post-pewter in Red.

Mankey w/ Karate Chop @ level 16 west of Virdian City (Rt 3)
Nidoran with Double Kick @ level 12 north of Viridian City (Rt 2)
Butterfree with Confusion @ level 10 from Viridian Forrest

There's three options for beating Brock but I too beat him using a Pikachu spamming Quick Attack/Double Team

I am sad. I didn't find out until two days *after* it had ended that us Canadians *DO* have access to these giveaways via EBGames. Now I have to find another way to get access to a Mew. Preferably without stooping to the Mew Glitch in the VC RBY games, if only because I can't transfer that into my Alpha Sapphire.

Fun fact; Karate Chop was normal-type back then! But he learns Low Kick at level 9 which IS a fighting-type attack, as well as Nidoran learning Double Kick.

I spent way too long getting a Female teddiursa from HG just so I could get my EV trained/5IV Ursaring in a moon ball. I wish they'd just put then in as buyable. Hell make them expensive if you must but just let people have them.

Yeah I can take or leave apricorns as a mechanic, but if I have to spend 100k pokedollars on 20 friend balls or whatevs that's fine so long as I get the chance to actually access them. In a more ideal world it would be great if they could give them better catching bonuses and wider use but I'll be fine if all they do is exist.

Whoops! Knew he had a fighting type move, though. Confusion isn't super-effective against Rock or anything either but at least it's not resisted which is usually enough

And since neither Onix nor Geodude have any STAB and pretty low Attack in general, it's an easy battle of attrition.

Also note that the nidoran lines got low kick at lv43 in RB, and only got it at lv12 in Yellow. Also Mankeys don't appear in Rt 22 in RB.

So all you RB players don't need to waste your time hunting for those in preparation for Brock.

Yup, RB players could have Squirtle or Bulbasaur, and didn't need the extra help. And if they took Charmander, well there was still Butterfree.

But Yellow? Yeah, no, you started with the rat. Period. No choices involved. You don't have a super-effective starter to roflstomp him with, so they were kind and gave yellow players some extra options to deal with him.

It feels like they made Starmie extra hard in Yellow too for some reason as another gently caress you. At least in the remakes they gave Charmander Steel Claw or something.
