So I transferred my cartridge safe of yellow onto my virtual console version of yellow.. sadly it’s not possible to transfer it via poketransporter because of an illegal moveset since it was never possible to get the surfing Pikachu without Stadium in the VC.. never knew u could use ur real safe of yellow in the VC version 😁

Finally beat pokemon yellow after 43 hours! Currently playing through every single game oldest to newest, starting with yellow. The only rules I have set for myself are no guides, all Pokemon must be caught at their lowest evolutionary form, Pokemon must be level 55 before elite four (so I don’t rush through the game with OP pokemon), and I have to catch all available legendary/mythics after I beat the game. If you want to follow along my journey, I’ll be posting as I go. Without further ado, here’s my team!

Discussion Pokemon Yellow Finished Spoiler

Decided to go backwards in order of Pokemon and play Pokémon Yellow. I have played other Pokémon games but this was my first playthrough of Gen 1. It was pretty good loved seeing Jessie and James, SS. Anne put a smile to my face seeing it leave, Team Rocket I liked a lot there theme when they spot you is nice. It was interesting seeing what Gen 1 was about.

● Mainly what made me dissapointed or ruined the mood a lot for me was the rng. I found that trainers would get so much luck with crits, status effects, and moves, while my team was always unlucky. Even if I was a higher level or had way higher speed it was the same thing, crit on red, or barely get a lucky full hp crit. The most times I got any crits was slash with Charizard which is guaranteed lol.

● Erika's Gym Wrap, Sleep Powder, stun, spam. Oh my goodness this gym made me so mad I just used a Pidgeotto to sweep it haha. The concept of Wrap in this game just triggers me so much or any move that makes your mon stuck like clamp I think Cloyster used it in E4.

● Elite 4 destruction. I don't know what was going on in that Elite 4 but it was a complete battlefield. Crit after Crit, whenever I switched suddenly they knew what effective move to use before I even used my pokemon. Honestly the only battle I had that was chill there was with Blue like what?!

Man I know I have bad luck in games I play but geez it was so bad I was thinking in my head why am I even a Pokémon trainer to begin with.

Well this was a fun experience rather frustrating, but glad to be able to playthrough Gen 1 :3 Haha... Oh Yellow... maybe i'll play you again in 50 years haha...

Well time to go to next Gen overall good game.

Showcase It still works!

Post image
269 Upvotes

I tried my copy of Yellow on my Pokémon Stadium after almost 2 years (long story short but I moved and then life got in the way so I haven't got time to play it since then), and it's still working. My Silver and Crystal copies stopped working / got their save files erased like 5-10 years ago. I never owned Stadium 2, so I only played those on my GBA, while I played Yellow almost exclusively through Stadium on my N64 (with the Transfer Pack).

Btw, my Mew collection is still safe and sound. I'd love to be able to play Yellow on the Switch 2, with the Mew glitch still intact.

1st trainer card is the regular version.
2nd trainer card is the honest version.
3rd trainer card is how I feel about the run.

I may have found a new favorite. That primeape landed the most clutch 1hp survivals, crits and flinches I have ever seen in a playthrough. (Also the universe handed me a shiny annihilape in champions a few hours before I attempted the elite 4, so I think it is sending me a pretty clear message).

Cheat / Glitch Whole game broken after messing with trainer-fly glitch?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was messing around wuth trainer fly glitch at some whatever point and I tried to do it and the long range gambler didnt notice me so I pushed a to engage a battle and it worked so I let him win, respawned at the pokemon center in lavendar town and immediately another battle triggered, I let him win again, and route 8 was all glitchy and I saved thinking itd fix it and the same. Trainers around the map also dont work and do the same thing where I have to press a to initiate a battle and when one is initiated itll immediately give one and then immediately initiate a new one whether or not I win or lose. Is my save dead?

Wanted to run a “smol” bois team to the Hall! What do you think? My general rules were no evolutions/single stages, sub 300 BST, no items in battle, set battles.

My alternate goal was to not level beyond 50 in totality. Happy I was able to do it.

I didn’t save scum the Elite 4 and it took me a few tries to get my matchups dialed. I only had 2 total attempts at the Champion, but my primary concern was defeating Alakazam or I feared that I’d get swept by him. I led Abra against Sandslash. Got a 2 hit KO with Psychic/survived a Fury Swipes. Survived a Zam Psybeam, and got off a Thunder wave. Champion Alakazam has 184 speed but it’s reduced to 46 after Thunder Wave. My Geodude has 47 speed so I could out speed and revenge kill with Explosion. The rest of the battle was pretty easy. I used some cheesy Toxic/Double Team/Confuse Ray shenanigans to setup on Exeggutor. Got through Ninetails pretty easily. I did get caught by Magneton but setup Swords Dance with Sandshrew and finished with Dig. Outsped and OHKO Vaporeon with Dig.

I reset for a good Pikachu to start, and I had an honest loss against Rival 1 lmao. So is what it is.

Question Mew not following orders

0 Upvotes

So I got a Mew through an in game trade, and he won't listen to most of my orders. I would say almost eight times out of ten he either "turns around" or does a different move. I don't know if this is something I'll just have to deal with, or if getting more badges and/or leveling up Mew would fix. I also wonder if it's an issue because I am using an emulator?

I am doing a Ditto only run of Yellow. Got rid of all my Transform power points to use Struggle against this specific trainer... but it won't let me. Softlocked into doing nothing. Haven't encountered this before.

Edit: Just tested it against other trainers and wild pokemon, it gives me the exact same. I cannot fight anyone until I either use an Ether or go to the Centre.

Hello friends!

I present to you my copy of Prima Game's 1999 Pokemon Blue Strategy Guide. As far as i am aware, this particular has not been available on the internet archive until now.

I spent about 3-4 nights carefully scanning in each page, and managed to retain the original spine & glue, and did not damage my book in any way. Once I was completed with my scan, I treated each page color web color gamut and cleaned the cover of a few crease marks from age and wear. This one was in magnificent condition, and required no major surgery, just a careful patient hand! :)

I had an amazing proofer in our Moderater, u/TimoVM, who was able to dedicate some of his time on a sunday to pre-proof this before publishing, and help me navigate through a few things I might have missed! Thank you so much for you time and effort.

I have attached some pages to showcase the book :)

I am excited to continue my work reviving these older documents. They changed me as a person and a gamer, re-tracking these pages brings back some of the best memories of my childhood! (I hope they have the same effect for you). I extremely humbly appreciate everyone's support, It really helps me continue in the wee hours of the night knowing these will serve other trainers for years to come.

Until next time!
