POKEMON Team Red

Generation 1.

On the left:
The one i chose.

On the right:
My team throughout the game.
My noble Persian Memento, always remembering his enemies of how powerful his Thunderbolt-attacks are. Houdini, my Alakazam, my special-attack-specialist. Siggi, my Golduck and Kappa in disguise, mastering every sea and lake there is. my Arbok Sepsis who could not only kill you with venom but also with Earthquake-attack. Bunting, sly fox and best friend of mine. And Kafka, my silent, misunderstood but powerful mutation.


After being so spoiled by beautiful 3DS-graphics, i felt the urge to step back and play Pokémon Red again. All these pixels, no DV stats or even genders back then, no abilities, nothing that like that and it was still somewhat possible to actually catch them all. Absolutely relaxing. (that old box system, though. Being not able to catch anything when the box is full is just a mess ARGHLALA).

And: Man, what a nostalgic dive that was. I've played Pokémon from the very start, when they came out in the 90s, the Red Edition being my choice. 16 years later and i still get super excited whenever the next generation comes out. I'll most likely still catch Pidgeys when i'm 64.

How about you? Speaking of nostalgic Red and Blue, what Pokémon and Edition did you choose, how did your team look like? (and which Pokémon generation did you start out with?)
