Well, Squirtle is the easiest to get since you just need to beat Lt. Surge.
And the hardest is Bulbasaur. I never knew he exact details and requirements on how to get it but I always got it with pure luck. :p

Actually Charmander's the easiest to get since you just need to talk to the kid (and getting past Nugget Bridge isn't hard).

None of the legendary trios are ever regarded as Uber in any generation. Infact, even in RBY, Moltres and Articuno were only BL, and Zapdos has always been OU. But the reason the former two are relatively unseen competitively is due to the prevalance of Stealth Rock, which seriously hampers their use, considering the 50% health loss every time they switch in. Articuno also has a terrible typing, especially since it focuses on the defensive spectrum. None are bad Pokemon in any sense, they just can't perform particularly well in the Uber environment.

This is blatantly false.


Missingno can be encountered using the Mew Trick in Yellow. Note that the missingno yellow is a bit trickier than the r/b one... seeing it will freeze the game about 4 times out of 5 or so, and it can't be trained like the r/b missingno (although it can be rare candied; the exp required for it to get to the next level is simply insane), I'm pretty sure it's otherwise safe (again, pretty sure; they may well have been responsible for the mysterious loss of data I experienced one day).




(Note: The claim on the picture that yellow missingo does not duplicate items is false.)

This information isnt completely correct. Zapdos was uu in the pervious generations but is uu in the 5th gen. Moltres was UU in the 4th gen.

My RBY team is:

Venusaur
Charizard
Blastoise
Raichu
Golem
Alakazam or Mewtwo

I don't understand why people like missingno. It's not even a real Pokemon. It's glitched data and it can harm your game save. I encountered it a couple of times when I first started playing Red and Blue but never caught it. Then I heard that it was a potentially harmful glitch and so I was glad I never did catch it.

I can only remember some of my frist team

Charizard
Laprs
Perisan
Dewgong
Victreebel
Mewtwo

We like missingno and other glitches because it provides a whole new facet to the game. The value lies in exploring regions of the game even the designers haven't charted, in my opinion. :)

And no, missingno won't damage your save file (although Yellow Missingno will frequently freeze your game upon encounter). 'M, a similar glitch, will cause problems if you put it in your PC, and both will corrupt your Hall of Fame data and may cause minor graphical disruptions, but neither are known to erase save files or cause permanent damage. (Although some sources suggest .4, a different glitch, may delete game data. I've heard conflicting stories on that one.)


(Ignore anything Nintendo says about Missingno and any glitches. Nintendo understandably has a strong anti-glitch bias.)

I remember missingno it screwed my saved game and i've never touched my blue version again lol
