RMT: The original heroes of FireRed!

One advantage of FR being my first game is that I'm not technically a Hoenn baby OR a genwunner. Another advantage: I still have my team! Which I will now post for your viewing pleasure.

CRACKPOT the Venusaur @ Miracle Seed
Nature: Bashful
Ability: Overgrow
EVs/IVs: The hell if I know



-Razor Leaf
-Sleep Powder
-Leech Seed
-Synthesis

It's established fact that anyone who doesn't choose Bulbasaur is a communist. But did you know that the Miracle Seed item actually boosts grass moves? Clearly a must have item for this all-grass Venusaur. My 11 year old self wasn't as dumb as he looked. He was just as adorable as he looked though. What went wrong?

Pidgeot @ Amulet Coin
Nature: Docile
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs/IVs: r u havin a laff m8?



-Whirlwind
-Wing Attack
-Mirror Move
-...nothing?

Gotta rep that route 1 Pidgey. But this isn't just any Pidgey - it's a Pidgey of WEALTH. Presumably that last move was Fly at some point but it had to be deleted to transfer. But here's a fun story: all these pokemon were nicknamed by my friend when I left the room at some point, and I kept them that way. But Pidgeot's name, for whatever reason, offended the censor during the transfer to gen 6, and is now forever stuck as "Pidgeot" I don't even remember its original name. Thanks for literally destroying childhood memories, Game Freak.

JESUS the Gyarados @ Soothe Bell
Nature: Jolly (!)
Ability: Intimidate
EVs/ IVs: x/x/x/x/x/x



-Dragon Dance
-Earthquake
-Hyper Beam
-...nope. Nothing. Again.

Mmm, sacrilicious. That last move was in fact Strength, and I'm fairly certain Hydro Pump was in there somewhere at some point while I was beating down the E4. But this Gyarados spent a long time as a Magikarp, and I thought she needed some comfort. Once she became the mighty Gyarados I was too scared to take it off her.

KIETH the Alakazam @ TwistedSpoon
Nature: Impish
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs/ IVs: yes, it does have these



-Future Sight
-Psybeam
-Psychic
-Recover

There is nothing to say. Clearly, this is the greatest set of all time.

KENNETH the Electrode @ Nothing
Nature: Hardy
Ability: Static
EVs/ IVs: numbers



Charge
Light Screen
Explosion
Spark

Electrode's potentially pivotal role in providing team support by setting up screens then exploding was of course, completely lost on me. Instead I'd just spam Charge and Spark like it was the greatest thing ever. Clearly the smug little pokeball thought it was too good for held items too. In hindsight, a definite weak link to the team.

KEVIN the Snorlax @ Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Immunity
EVs/ IVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 6 Atk (just kidding)



-Headbutt
-Body Slam
-Sleep Talk
-Rest

Here he is folks, the one you've all been waiting for. This guy alone is probably the only reason I beat Blue on the first attempt, as I ran out of revives long before I'd actually whittled his team down enough. This thing managed to tank its way through his last 3 pokemon single-handedly. Since then I've bust onto the competitive scene in a big way ( ) but in all my years of battling, never has one pokemon been so clutch. Be amazed.

r8, h8 and appreci8! Karp out.

On the up side, you have an Alakazam.

On a more negative note, IT'S FUCKING IMPISH AND HAS ONE USEFUL MOVE.

Thumbs up for picking Bulbasaur and using Pidgeot though.

I had this on my Gyarados too. Haha.
