Yellow sometimes feels like both the easiest and most difficult pokemon game I've played (I started with Black), sometimes in the same dungeon. Where can I get a good anti-psychic pokemon near Saffron?

There is actually quite a bit of beautiful Primarina fan art out there, made by skilled artists, but you only ever post art dumps of ugly and amateurish garbage by people who can’t draw. The top one is the only one that has some skill to it.

The original pokemon games gave you a huge amount of freedom in the mid game. You can do gyms 3-7 in pretty much any order with the only restriction being that Koga has to come before Blaine so you can surf to Cinnabar. It's part of the reason I still replay them now and again.

Yeah, does anyone else find it weird that that games in the Kanto region only gives you the one starter, which is only good in the mid to late game? Every other generation gives you a balanced three different choices for a starter, but RBY and now Let's Go forces you to only have the one starter (Charmander, Pikachu, and now Eevee) based on which version you buy.

making a limerick about your favourite pokemon/place/plot point/character could be super fun and cater to those who dont wanna draw? since so many of these end up art contesty.

I like this. We did haiku before but some silly limerick sounds great. Write some doggerel about something Pokemon related that you enjoyed and win a monochromatic dragon.

No code, just wanted to try

I just got off the phone with my uncle and he told me how to evolve the special Meowth into Nyarthotep in the new games. ITS SO DUMB. First the Pokemon has to be tutored Trick, nothing tells you that. You then have to go to the docks in the northeast part of the map at exactly midnight game-time and the ferry will take you to a new island off map. You have to pace the whole island, like hatching eggs in Omega Ruby with the Meowth. Then at 2am, if you do it right you stand in the inn's mouth and level it up. The switch will shut off, but when you boot it back up, you'll get the Dark/Cosmic Nyarthotep, I SWEAR. Can't believe Nintendo would make this one so hard to get!

This will blow your mind, but you can skip Brock by fudging with the start menu near the kid that blocks you from Mt. Moon before you've beat him. He could theoretically be the last gym you beat before Giovanni because you don't need Flash. I usually don't even use Flash anymore because Rock Tunnel is burnt into my brain.

In Red, Blue and Yellow and even Firered and Leafgreen, you can just ignore all Gym Leaders once you beat Misty and keep going through the game. Asides from the one in Pewter, there are no NPCs stopping you from going anywhere due to badges. Surge just gets you Fly and Erika just gets you Strength, which you only use in Seafoam Islands and Victory Road. Progress is tied to you beating Team Rocket in the Game Corner and Pokemon Tower rather than HMs up until Fuchsia City, when you need to beat Koga who gets you Surf. Basically, you can reach nearly every area in the game except Victory Road and Cerulean Cave all with only having beaten Brock, Misty, and Koga even without using glitches.

If you bring your Switch to an actual zoo and talk to the Safari Zone's warden fifty times, he will get fed up and challenge you to a battle. If you win, you can throw rocks at pokemon outside the Safari zone by doing the ball throwing motion backwards.
