AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Man I must have raged for hours as a kid trying to beat Brock in yellow.

Like goddamn

Get out, purist.

I never understood why everyone had a hard time with Brock. My first run through I chose Charmander and caught Pikachu in the Viridian forest (just happened upon it). Charmander killed Brock with Ember, and Pikachu took out Misty easily. Then, when I went to school, everyone was like "MAN THIS IS JUST SO HARD!!!" and I was like "... what?"

Even though I started with Charmander in my first play, I liked Bulbasaur more. My brother used it the first time he played and Venusaur was like the best Pokemon on his team. Then I kinda deleted his file and got my game back. Red was my game, but mom figured we'd be able to share it like most other games. I couldn't play it because I couldn't read good enough at the time, so he played it and I just watched and helped him at times. He played it on the Super Gameboy on our SNES so we could watch it on the TV. Then I wanted to play and accidentally saved over his file because I thought, like in ALttP, you could have multiple files.

I played Red, Blue, and Yellow, but my first real "fresh" Pokemon experience was Gold. MY brother bought both of the games at midnight at Wal-mart where he worked at the time and surprised me with them. he let me choose the game I wanted, and I chose Gold because I liked Ho-oh (I remember getting rustled at him when I found out Silver had a Lv. 70 Ho-oh in it because I thought it was better and that he tricked me somehow).

Man, I played the fuck out of Gold and loved every goddamn moment of it.

Lugia was so much better than Ho-oh in the appearance department.

my first game was Super Mario Bros.
My dad and I would play it all the time!

My first game was Super Mario Bros. for Game Boy Color.

My first was super mario bros. 3 daisies you glub glub! My first game that i actually chose (or at least got it to rival my friends) was pokemon gold still have not found a better pokemon game since

I think my earliest memory of playing a game was Spyro the Dragon 2 Ripto's Rage
Favorite game in the series IMO

My first game was Pilotwings.

FUCKING HANG GLIDERS.

That's a bold-faced lie.

Fucking plain white dragon/bird with a baby blue belly and bland as hell navy mask and scales with wings that looked like he was wearing kitchen gloves. Plus, Psychic type. Why? It was like they weren't even trying.

Meanwhile, orange phoenix with green and yellow feathers, a sharp looking beak and peacock-like plumage. Fucking boss.

Lol, bias.

I'm pretty sure my first game was this:

Ho-oh was a bird. Also known as a feathery asshole. Lugia was closer to a dragon, and therefore superior.

Dragons are just dinosaurs that won't get with the fucking times. But meanwhile everyone's like "Oh my dragons. How wonderful, they make me ROCK HARD."

And why do you think Birds are assholes? Because they're on top and they know it. Gotta love that confidence in being the apex branch of the evolutionary line.

I mean, Lugia's shrine burned down and no one gave a shit to rebuild it. Ho-oh's, meanwhile, is still maintained and he doesn't even use it that often. Shit, in the manga it got destroyed and they fixed it in a week. Yet the Brass Tower is still just a burned down mess.

Guess we see which one people in-game care about more.

The answer's right there. The people in that town are Ho-oh lovers and keep out anyone trying to rebuild the Tin Tower. And how do you think it burned in the first place? The feathery asshole lit it on fire (and his to reduce suspicion) and then blamed it on some humans. No one's gonna say shit about a legendary when he's pinning some rube.

Meanwhile Lugia's being a cool motherfucker and decides it's not worth fighting about so he goes and finds an awesome cave to sleep in, like his ancestor dragons did in ages past. He cares about his heritage, unlike the feathery asshole who thinks he's too good for a nest.

Haha, what? Do you even know your Pokemon history?

The Brass tower was the only one that burned down. it was struck by lightning 150 years before the games. Lugia fled like a bitch and Ho-oh came to to revive the legendary beasts (one had been hit by the lightning and died, one had drowned in the rain that flooded the basement, and one had burned to death). Lugia hid in the Whirl Islands because it feared its power would destroy humans/Pokemon/the world. Ho-oh journeys around the world not giving two shits because he can control his powers. I mean, fuck, he brought 3 dead Pokemon back to life and gave them enough power to be Legendaries in their own right. That's fucking powerful. Meanwhile, Lugia can't even get a trio of birds to stop bitching at each other without needing Ash and some magical music to help. He's the worst principal of the sea ever.

The only time the Tin tower was in danger was in the manga, where Team Rocket made it sink into the ground using ground type Pokemon, all because they wanted to rustle Ho-oh's jimmies. Because Ho-oh is a hard fucking Pokemon to track. Everyone knows Lugia lives in the cave and few give shits about it being there. They don 't have to do anything to goad it out because it's right where they want it.

So let's see, Ho-oh is worshiped, can control his powers, is visible, isn't bland as fuck, and has an established typing/history that actually makes sense. Lugia is forgotten, hides in the basement because he's "misunderstood", is basically monochrome, and has been established to be so loosely characterized that he's whatever the writers want him to be (Guardian of the Sea, "Psychic" Pokemon, the best example of a Shadow Pokemon, all just because he's "cool" like Charizard).

Apparently Oregon Trail is available as abandonware.
