Pokemon started out as a Dragon Quest Monsters shitpost so it checks out.
Farfetch'd is actually godly because he (yes, HE) can learn Swords Dance and gets extra XP Magikarp evolves into Gyrados, one of the best Pokémon in the game.What are you on about?
>>735003463>he's just a pun for "if it looks too good to be true, it is"The original name for Farfetch'd is kamonegi (カモネギ) which, translated literally, means duckleek.
>>735003763The localization is quite appropriate. Duck is usually cooked with leek in Japan, so a duck bringing around leek everywhere is too good to be true, thus farfetched.
>>735003539doesn't swords dance work backwards in RBY or am I thinking of a different move that doesn't work right and is buggy in RBY?
>>735003894>Duck is usually cooked with leek in JapanThey expected non-Japanese kids to know this but not know what onigiri is?
>>735003894hol up. japs eat ducks?
>>735003895you're thinking of focus energy reducing crit rate instead of increasing itswords dance does have its own share of issues though like how crits ignore YOUR stat boosts too so on things with near-100% crit rates like persian or venusaur it does literally nothing
>>735003894No, that saying actually just means an unexpected lucky event.
>>735003463Hot damn! A plump Duck with its own onion and all you want is some angry little Sparrow? Lets trade!
>>735003964Do you not? What do you think duckhunters do with the ducks?
>>735004079don't the crits not use stat boosts or something else also dumb?
>>735004170Gen 1 Crits ignore all stat changes of both Pokemon. And since Crit chance was tied to speed in Gen 1, moves like Slash and Razor Leaf (which had a modified Crit chance) had like 100% to Crit on most Pokemon, making the boost irrelevant. Gen 2 fixed the bug, making Crit work correctly off of your Pokemon's stat changes.
Got i struggled so much to get an Abraham in general 1 red. Motherfucker would tease me and disappeR everytime. Ended up just trading for it with some douchey kid.
>>735005301Abra
>>735005301>>735007546Get a Butterfree and Sleep Powder it. Gen 1 sleep means you don't get the chance to act on the turn you wake up, so Butterfree can just put it back to sleep and let you continue trying to catch it.Altho really, you can just throw pokeballs at the Abra every encounter and catch it without too much trouble.Don't ask how to get Mr. Mime in the Gen 1 games.
>>735003763I think you meant Canarticho, meaning Canard (duck) + Artichaut (artichoke)
>>735007891Cool, it never occurred to me. I ended up just trading for it and get him up to alakazam to fight the final four. Once I missed the lightning tm and had to go in the dark through the moon cave.
>>735005301I can trade you a Moses or a Jacob for your Abraham
>>735004079The highest crit rate in the game is electrode at 27%, it still stings to crit but venusaurs best trait is the combination of sleep powder + SD. I think you're thinking of crit boosted moves like slash and razor leaf (which both Persian and Venusaur utilize well) which do indeed guaranteed crit as long as they don't 1/256 miss
>>735009129thats not an artichoke though, its a leek
>>735009934I suppose the finer details got lost in translation

>>735003463They made clear that Kanto is grittier than it looks on the surface level and its not just sunshine and rainbows like in other games.you have the Yakuza running intimidation tactics, casinos, scammers and punks running around in this urban setting.All that was pretty grounded and getting fucked over by a bad deal feels way more like a relatable gut punch than some nonsense world ending plots.And it mightve even prepared some kids to not be gullible retards when it comes to IRL Pokemon trades with friends and strangers.It was overall all very mild anyways and you still whining about that is pathetic and most definitely part of the reason why everything is so soft and gay now.
>>735003763localizers clearly fucked up again.

>>735011289And he likes to FUX
>>735007891>Don't ask how to get Mr. Mime in the Gen 1 games.Marcel was MVP in my "only trade/gift mons" run.
>>735004231I think that's one of the shitposts with venusaur in RBY. it get's growth, but the main special attack move is razor leaf which just crits every time anyway so there's no reason to ever take growth
>>735005301>abrahamthis dude played pokemon jew

>>735009487rock tunnel. mount moon is lit up
>>735011403Fuck you Miku, eating green onions as is sucks.
>>735003463Sounds pretty based to me
>>735009487Why was the bolder badge a requirement for flash? my best guess would be that mt moon, maybe all of the caves and tunnels would have required flash and you would have gotten flash earlier since it's near brock's gym but locked by cut and access to diglett's cave
>>735003463>Bro, what if we had a guy sell a goldfish that only knows splash, that would be a good way to dunk on 7 year olds...except it evolves into a mon with stats only slightly lower than those of the game's legendary Pokemon, and does so at a fairly low level.......
>>735009882SD? venusaur can't use swords dance in gen 1
>>735011915I wasn't whining, I think it's funny
>>735018823>>735003539you would have to know magikarp evolves and switch grind him
>>735019061It's hinted by the NPCs who talk about the magicarp salesman and who mention good things come from raising weak pokemon.
>>735003539Swords Dance isn't all that good on a mon who relies on crit moves because critical hit boosts and attack stat boosts work independently of each other.I.E, if Farfetch'd crits, which it likely will since it's going to be relying on Slash, then the +2 from SD won't apply.
>>735019061>you would have to know magikarp evolvesEven if you don't have meta knowledge, your rival uses a Gyarados by the early-mid game so a simple dex check hints at the evolution.>and switch grind himWhich itself isn't hard to do and a mechanic you'll likely figure out early on with other scrub mons like the early route bugs.Also this is assuming you don't pick up the absurdly overpowered exp share.
>>735007891>Mr. MineHim and farfetch'd and lickitung and whatever else, apparently aren't native to kanto since you can only trade to get them. Probably most of the safari zone pokemon too, since they're presumably imported.
>>735020613nta but there's no reason to run Fetch'd as a crit machine in Gen 1 since it doesn't get Leek yet. You can just run it with Body Slam or Double-Edge plus...>Strongest flying STAB is fucking Peck or Flylmaofucking roflThat said Farfetch'd is still perfectly fine for in-game because the boost to xp is just that good. Granted, if you want to cheese the game with xp boosted mons Mr. Mime is right there.
>Farfetch'd was my favorite pokemonI was a retarded kid
>>735022883doesn't he get false swipe in gen 2?
>>735022949I didn't care about any of that as a kid, I just though he looked coolMaybe it was the fact he had a "sword"
>>735022883It's cute just not very useful in battle. but the mons I like are bad too.
>>735022819Lapras is a johto-mon. Eevee probably isn't native either
>>735022949Wild, I thought False Swipe was introduced in Gen 3 for some reason. I swear I've used a Scyther before in Johto so I guess I just forgot.
