Hey there! I've never been good with introductions, but I'll still give it a shot.
My Pokémon craze started around late 2014 - early 2015 with FireRed since my friends were playing and I wanted to join in the fun. It was all new to me so I was too amazed by anything and everything; all I remember is that they both picked Squirtle and I picked Charmander, leaving poor Bulbasaur behind. My team was something along the lines of Charizard, Pidgeot, Raticate, Jolteon, Lapras, and Articuno (talk about generic...).
I'll edit sporadically, mostly regarding the Japanese names and terminology to make them more accurate or just really random stuff I come across that is of my interest. I need to properly replay Pokémon at some point, too.
Teams
Below is a list of my most-recent Pokémon teams with the following restrictions:
No first-partner Pokémon
No static encounters
No gift Pokémon
No version exclusives - this includes third versions too, but it's open to exceptions...
No Legendaries nor Mythicals - they make the game boring
No trade evolutions - playing on a single cartridge
No cross-Generation evolutions (i.e.: Crobat, Gallade)
No different-Generation Pokémon (i.e.: Gyarados on a Generation IV game)
With these restrictions imposed, I'm also trying to use Pokémon I've never used before in a playthrough. The keyword here is trying...
Generation I
Game is Pokémon Blue, cleared on 30/04/2025 (DD/MM/YYYY). Chose Squirtle as my first-partner Pokémon.
