Which Pokemon Versions Should You Pick?

They made two versions of the game so that you'd have to buy both versions, and buy two Gameboys, so that you could trade with yourself.

For gen 1, you can pick either and glitch in the pokémon that are exclusive.

why do u pop up and sound like the vsauce dude, is that on purpose? are u just tryna be quirky?

Man, Those Pokemon plush in the background are sick, I'm even a little jealous. Fun fact, I actually got that exact same Genesect plush that you have in your background here for getting Principles list 3 times in 4th grade!

Pearl is 100% the red version diamond is 100% the blue. Sorry

Huh…If you count Gold and Pearl as shades of red (which they kind of are, being orangey and pink) and Diamond as blue (because it is), the victories between versions alternate from blues to reds every pair.
1- Blue
2- Gold
3- Saphire
4 – Fire Red
5- Diamond
6- Heart Gold

The original Pokémon game are weak unless you play the romhack of those versions, then maybe those idea will be usefull for such thing.

My guy didn't include green version.

I picked the cheapest on ebay

One other advantage LeafGreen has over FireRed is when it comes to getting Porygon at the Celadon Game Corner. Porygon costs 9999 coins in FireRed as opposed to only 6500 in LeafGreen. The levels and prices for the other Pokemon are a bit of a toss up when comparing the two games.

FireRed
– Abra (Level 9, 180 Coins)
– Clefairy (Level 8, 500 Coins)
– Dratini (Level 18, 2800 Coins)
– Scyther (Level 25, 5500 Coins)
– Porygon (Level 26, 9999 Coins)

LeafGreen
– Abra (Level 7, 120 Coins)
– Clefairy (Level 12, 750 Coins)
– Pinsir (Level 18, 2500 Coins)
– Dratini (Level 24, 4600 Coins)
– Porygon (Level 18, 6500 Coins)

Of course, most of these Pokemon can be found elsewhere, but the Game Corner does provide a good option to alleviate some of the hard aspects about catching them elsewhere (such as rare encounter rates, fleeing, and low catch rates). But LeafGreen definitely gets the win when it comes to Porygon, simply because it cannot be received elsewhere and it's a lot cheaper in LeafGreen.

Diamond and pearl are so bad

the best thing i play is the soul silver one, i love the pacing and story and the animation

Good boy Arcanine, go fetch that comeback!❤

Red's mankey is a big deal if you play with charmander, thanks to Brock

Whoever figured out that pokemon should release in pairs made a lot of money and a special one way ticket to hell

I should just pick whoever I think the box legendary looks cooler/which version exclusives I like the most.

Yellow, crystal, emerald, platinum, black 2, y, ultra moon, sword, and scarlet easy. Why even ask? Just do all the remakes

i'll choose whatever you want just back the camera up

I recently did a Nuzlocke of Leaf Green and ended up soloing the entire Elite Four with only a Starmie Ev trained in Special Attack and Speed. Definitely the better one between it and Cloyster lol

As baseline as it is I simply choose based off the name/color/vibes typically associated not even the legendary or Pokémon in the game like for sun and moon I just felt the vibes and moon was cuntier and purple so slay

Okay but where is part ii ? ????

I always just get both

I got lucky I found a copy of sapphire that worked, so I was fortunate by chance to have both

Blue, Silver, Ruby, Leaf Green, Diamond, White, White 2, X, Omega Ruby, Moon, Ultra Moon, Sword, Shining Pearl, Violet

Tbh, Starmie and Slowbro are such good pokemon that I think Leafgreen is the better version. It doesn't even matter that they have the same typing because their movepool is very different.

I don't know if this was a common phenomenon but when I grew up, it almost seemed like the games were gendered. All the boys had Fire Red, Ruby, and Diamond, all the girls had Leaf Green, Sapphire, and Pearl. Except me, who had both but prioritized the "girl" games because it was easier to fill out my Pokedex that way.

Red, silver, ruby, fire red, pearl,soul silver, white, white 2, X, omega ruby, moon, lets go Pikachu, sword and scarlet.

Another reason why Pokémon Blue is superior to Red is the Arcade. You need 9999 Coins to buy Porygon in Red, in Blue it's only 6500

2:16 start video

Is there a mod for gen 3 or 4 where every pokemon for each generation is avaliable?

So when does Pokémon Gun come out?

-Sapphire but yellow better
-heard gold but crystal maybe better
-shapphire but emerald better
-fire red
-diamond but platinum better
-heart gold

As someone who played sapphire, Lombre was very useful but by the time I got dive so I had the water stone to evolve it I already had a Tropius because a middle evo Lombre is worse than a Tropius and it was under leveled when I got the water stone

I just pick the bluer games

I just choose what Color I Like more

I remember I got gold and silver for Xmas, one from my aunt and other from my parents, and they made me give one away to my cousin who what’s crying bc I got both. I asked him which one he wanted and gave him the other one in spite lol. I was like 6 or 7 so don’t come at me

As of recently, I get whatever version my partner doesn't have (i.e if he has Moon, I have Sun. If he has BD, I get SP.)

I hav rubbery and you can get seviper????????????????????

About gen 1. You mentioned the auto crit moves with Persian, but didn't with Victreebel. Basically any pokemon gets auto crit from high crit moves. Even Ivysaur gets the auto crit. This also applies to Sandslash

I've always hated the removal of Steven from Champion position in Emerald. That's why Ruby is the best. Also cause Team Magma is right

Razor leaf always crit in gen 1 little one. Petal dance is not near to be even remotely close to the gen 1 razor leaf.

yellow is way to easy

I really wish pokémon would stop doing 2 versions. Its very obviously just a scam to get more money and it would be so much better for people who don't have people to trade with. But I don't think they'll ever stop since it's been a thing since the beginning

I usually picked the opposite version of what my friend would get. That way we could both complete the pokedex.
