You forgot Nidoking, the playthrough legend.

[@Eldooradoo]

Think Nidoking fell off form usage alot after gen I while most of the others on the list have some longevity throughout the generations. This of course has to do with accesability aswell

[@monkey39128]

@@Eldooradoo Yeah but he looks cool which is the most important thing. 😎

[@phoenixneo1630]

Funny thing. While I don't tend to use Clefable, I do occasionally like using Clefairy. But only because of something funny that happened way back when I was a kid. It was around when Red/Blue were first out. I got to Sabrina's gym and forgot that I had a level 7 Clefairy in my team. The rest of my fully-leveled guys got taken out by her Alakazam. I sent out Clefairy out of desperation. That turn, Alakazam used Recover. I had Clefairy use Metronome, which turned into Ice Beam, which froze Alakazam. Since Gen 1 freeze never thaws, I was able to beat Alakazam with a level 7 Clefairy by whacking the frozen Pokemon with low-powered hits over and over.

[@devonbrock6772]

This is the best thing I've ever read. Thank you for sharing.

[@XxeNBexX]

This is the greatest formative Pokémon memory I’ve ever seen

[@trevorstevenson4038]

That is epic haha

[@semtristan839]

Dude that is awesome!! Bet it leveled up a few times after that match.

[@macwelch8599]

Hot take: I like Jolteon more than Pikachu as an Electric type Pokémon

[@craiggerot]

jolteon the goat fr

[@EternalZoroark]

many people do actually from my experience, particularly fans that are more mature

[@Un_Italiano_Qualunque]

Pikachu is overrated, Jolteon is better. However, my favourite electric type from Kanto is Electabuzz.

[@RobertLydonReviews]

I am in that camp too. I much prefer my electric dog to the electric mouse

[@renelopez933]

that’s definitely not a hot take lmao that’s the right take

[@KoolBeanz101]

Surprised you didn't include lapras, A staple of many kanto teams with it's amazing stats and beautiful coverage

[@reeko169]

It’s pretty op and given to you in advancement of the story

[@MysticUmbreon]

Maybe on a top 10 list later down the line

[@andrewsun4385]

Cool! I always love using Dragonite, Gengar, Alakazam and Venusaur.❤❤

[@anthonym7322]

As crazy as it may sound, back in the day, I NEVER once used Growlithe/Arcanine, because I ALWAYS had started with Charmander back then. So I was always set on fire-types right from the start. Some more Pokemon that were also commonly used a lot back in the day were Lapras, Golbat, Fearow, Tentacruel, Pidgeot, Nidoking and Raichu

[@rococogoth]

Flareon was my Gen1 bae. Still love the fluffy furnace.

[@TKnHappyNess]

If they had a game where you only had access to Vulpix and Ninetales, such as Blue, that's why they never used Growlithe and Arcanine. Gen 1 Persian is broken with STAB Slash getting crits

[@Asapblu]

Letting your dog beat up local wildlife is CRAZY 🤣🤣🤣

[@peterrice292]

I remember using Primeape on my Leafgreen team a handful of years back and I loved it

[@Anu_Sol]

Primeape has to be one of the best playthrough Pokémon in FR/LG. Great speed, great attack, excellent movepool and you can get one almost straight out of Pallet Town.

[@dylanwiseman4657]

I’ve actually never used Arcanine, as a kid I had yellow, silver, and leaf green so I always had the opposite version it was in. Then every game after that it was in there were other newer fire types I ended up using. However I have used Clefable so much it’s in my top 5 favorite Pokémon

[@animationnightmare3003]

In every playthrough I did of any gen 1 game, I always played with Kadabra and Haunter. I wanted Alakazam and Gengar, but I didn't have anyone to trade with. But Kadabra and Haunter are still great pokemon to use.

[@monkey39128]

Best part about being an adult is I can just buy two Gameboys now and get all the trade Pokémon. 😂

[@souleblade32790]

I have never used Gengar, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Zapdos, Mewtwo, or Ditto (aside from breeding). I used Butterfree for an entire playthrough multiple times.

[@StateBlaze1989]

I can honestly say that I have never used half of the pokemon on this list. I don't play competitively, and I tend to pick pokemon for my team based on design, not stats or abilities. I did use mewtwo on post-game in gen 1 as a kid, have used gyarados a few times in recent gens, had zapdos as my electric type in rby, and have used eevee specifically for sylveon.

[@chadschuster2753]

😢 TFW you remember that Sylveon is a fairy type which didn't come out until gen 6

[@blue94rose]

That's really cool man, I use team members based on the impression I get from the anime and then I have really bad time deciding what to use in the game 😂 currently I'm racking my brain trying to decide between tyranitar and crabominable in usum

[@Halfdanr_H]

I always use Raichu and Charizard in my team if I can, I’ve loved them since my first play through of the Red, Blue, and Yellow games.

[@geoffstonehouse6304]

Articuno might not be great now, but back in gen 1, the original Kanto game, it was actually awesome.

[@lipika2841]

Cuz Blizzard was mad strong back then & Articuno was the strongest user of it.

[@lipika2841]

Cuz Blizzard was mad strong back then & Articuno was the strongest user of it.

[@anthonyanglemyer]

Of all these, I really like Eevee. I also remember half of these guys (Snorlax, Primeape, Jolteon/Vaporeon, Arcanine, and Zapdos) being on your kanto best teams in the past.

[@KatarGSoul]

I never used Growlithe or Arcanine. But one pokemon I always used was Geodude and Graveler. Not Golem though, never had the chance to evolve them.

[@monkey39128]

Golem was my favourite when I was a kid. I was so excited when my big brother helped me evolve my Graveler.

[@Anditeshordo]

Yeah I always used nidoking cause how good he is. Yet sadly he is not in every game. Hoped violet dlc brought him back, but sadly not

[@sebastiancawsey5024]

There is also the universally beloved Lapras, I know, quite late game in gen 1, but it is practically a given trade up in gen 6, if you didn't have a water starter.

[@klutchsensei2899]

As a kid, I boxed my Pikachu for a Butterfree, in Pokemon Yellow. Beat the whole game with it as my lead.

[@daltonoakleyjr391]

My Kanto Pokémon excluding starters : Gengar Nidoking/Queen Arcanine Eevee (for obvious reasons) Alakazam Snorlax Electabuzz Mewtwo Zapdos Nine tails Honorable mention is Clefable since gen 6 actually gave it a purpose because of fairy being the type to keep dark , Dragon , and fighting types in check

[@rustine07rr3]

Pidgeot and Raichu are my mains for Gen 3 Fire Red and Leaf Green playthroughs, i've been using these pokemon everytime i play kanto

[@mikeburnette2190]

You know...after this I've got a funny feeling fans of the original games will pretend their Primape will Rage Fist everything in sight.

[@joltx9909]

The gen 1 pokemon I used the most are probably nidoking, pidgeot, magmar and believe it or not - hypno

[@emkalina]

I used hypno alot as I didn't like unevolved kadabra or mr mime with a stupid nickname where is magmar in these games? I don't remember seing any. isn't it trade only?

[@theangrycolossal]

I recently did a replay of Pokemon Blue during some downtime I had this summer and I definitely got a lot of mileage out of Snorlax and Zapdos in that run.

[@MsLanie]

I have used the Pidgeot line more than any other Pokémon. It's a useful early Pokémon in Gen I and II, but particularly II because of the Bug gym.

[@n7jaeger974]

Electric ive used were jolteon or electabuzz Fire types i liked magmar

[@vuanhuc3582]

ironically enough, i have never (or seldom) use any pokemon on this list for whatever reason, except for snorlax, that shit lit.

[@williamryansennett]

always loved aerodactyl not gonna hold u, top tier

[@zikry4787]

I've never once used Butterfree in a mainline game. Guess I've been dying of thirst my whole life

[@lukediehl1210]

That's okay. I never used Arcanine. Vulpix and Growlithe were version exclusives back in the Gen 1 days.

[@davidharvey6250]

My non-starter fire pokemon was Vulpix/Ninetails. Rhyhorn/Rhydon was my go to for rock and ground. Magnaton is still a favorite for electric when I run it. I do have a 4* Gengar in Pokemon Go in his Mega Banette costume.

[@fishdude2954]

0:06 - 0:12 The theme from the games _is_ the franchise's theme song! 4Kids just stupidly called their English anime theme "Pokémon Theme" so now it's all over search results when people are trying to look for the actual franchise's theme from the games

[@mirihugs]

never used growlithe, but if vulpix is available in a game it's always a struggle for me NOT to use it

[@murruelaflaga]

Growlithe is the one doggo I'm always picking up no matter what starter I went with. Definitely the best boy.

[@AndroxineVortex]

Nidoking has become my favorite pokemon and he's a mandatory pick on any playthrough of FR. I always run him as a special sweeper usually with Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Flamethrower, and Surf

[@blue94rose]

I've used Primeape, vaporeon ( on a save file till the 5th gym that's lost forever) , arcanine, butterfree, gyarados, gengar and I've loved each and every bit of it !! I don't like legendaries and Pokemon which never evolve, so i haven't used them yet , but I'd use snorlax if i found a munchlax though! Also another thing, geodude should have been here, it's a really cool Pokemon to use and oh my god Nido-royalty??

[@Dingus_Mcbingused]

My favoirite gen 1 pokemon to use use is starmie with surf, ice beam, thunderbolt and recover it can invalidate blain, giovanni and most of the elite four single handedly

[@kaos2405]

I think you should do your generation videos based on the games available in the generation rather than the remakes. The only one on your list that I use every time is Zapdos, with thunder, thunder wave, drill peck, and fly.

[@AhmedMohammed-pf3jk]

Most of the games like the ones I started with , I got Talonflame , Litten (bcs i was anti-grass) , Then Scorbunny then for Paldea I got a quaxly but never even got a fire type 😂 (Litterally Quaquaval , annihalape , Espathra , Breloom , Staraptor and Pawmot) , Don’t blame me Fighting types are cool but i expected more from pawmi 😢

[@blue94rose]

I love how you have so many fighting types!!

[@carmenciampi2716]

Nidorino every gen 1 playthrough

[@Vahria-2_Rivaha-4_]

Also i never used growlithe, but gyarados

[@johnnypollack3243]

Keep up the awesome work and videos love the video

[@Mrccstar09]

I didnt start using growlithe and arcanine until these most recent games. Idk why either.

[@depressedfoxling]

Pokemon on this list that I have actually actively used: Eevee/Umbreon ...that's it!

[@kendrajameson8385]

I always pick up a starmie

[@mikeburnette2190]

I forgot I used to enjoy playing with Magnemite, so I could get Magneton, and rile friends with the moveset Tri-Attack, SonicBoom, Thunderbolt, and I'd experiment with the last slot with Reflect or Light Screen.

[@ChillMan5]

Blastoise! My favorite Pokemon of all time

[@lycansniper2295]

Honestly, I've never used Gengar or any of the other trade evolution pokemon. I play by myself with my consoles and since I'm not interested in competitive play I've never had incentive or opportunity to use them. Haven't used Gyarados either, 4x weak to electric types? No thanks. All the rest of these though, oh yeah! I've absolutely used all of them. Lately Dragonite and Nidoqueen are some of my favorites for chill runs.

[@sparxstreak02]

Although the original 3 Eeveelutions are in the bottom 3 of the 8 available forms for me, I still prefer Flareon over Vaporeon & Jolteon (who look kinda ugly to me to be perfectly honest 😕 although Vaporeon’s mermaid tail is pretty). I mean, Flareon resembles Eevee the most out of the 3 & it’s so FLUFFY!

[@happymask8042]

Replaying Leaf Green now trying to only use Pokemon I've never used before. So far my team includes Primeape Mr. Mime Krabby (just caught at lv 35) Clefable Raticate Electrode

[@stevenmichael7577]

I have used one, maybe two of these pokemon.

[@anthonyg5001]

I have never used growlithe till gen 9 in its hisuian form. I usually pick the fire starter since fire types are scarce and it’s my favorite type to use. SO NON BREATHER HERE

[@daAnT1990]

Butterfree named Roman: Acknowledge Me! ☝🏽

[@axels3188]

The 10 Kanto Pokemon I would use 10, Eevee 9, Dragonite 8, Lapras 7, Mewtwo 6, Gengar 5, Pikachu 4, Gyarados 3, Primeape 2, Butterfree 1, Any of the Kanto Starters.

[@freakofnature3329]

My go to with the big blue snakey dragon is always. Jolly nature Crunch Dragon dance Ice fang Waterfall I soloed the whole championship cup with it in sword and half of Leon's team. The only reason I didn't solo Leon is cause I felt like I was cheating. Garados is that ninja.

[@PChampoo]

Mentioned OP ass Mewtwo , but refuses to mention Charizard and the starters lol , such a counterintuitive format video 🤣

[@thespoon91]

I have never had or used a growlithe or a snorlax ever in Pokemon.

[@transportmetabeetle]

The background looks like butterfly wings

[@CaptainPikeachu]

I’ve never actually used Growlithe or Arcanine 😅

[@nja1497]

How is pigeot not on here?

[@wesleygriffin7857]

I’ve used gyrados in every play thats he’s available in

[@emkalina]

gyarados in gen 2/3 is a terrible water type

[@seanwilliams823]

I have never used Gengar because ai don't have anybody to trade with. I have NEVER felt a desire or need to use any Eeveelution.

[@joaquimb.369]

HOW did you not say Nidoking?

[@CzarLyrus]

Have never used Growlithe or Arcanine.

[@pokeperson1000]

… gonna have to say no on the growlithe

[@FridayIsHighday]

Nidoking????

[@tmacm2237]

Gyarados is a pokemon I always get.

[@devilrider39000000]

I would put Dragonite, Lapras, or Nidoking over Arcanine, and I think I would take Gengar off the list too.

[@alexanderborgrud2574]

Nidoking is king!!

[@Upcomingmliionaire]

Why there is no alakazam

[@kevinthompson5407]

I used some of these

[@Black-Suit-Spider-Man]

@mysticumberon what is your favorite gen in pokemon, and then I will tell you mine.

[@joncacosta23]

I’ve literally never used growlithe

[@indiradevi8136]

Let's be real articuno is used more in a kanto game especially rby than any other legendary bird

[@MysticUmbreon]

With Lance, for sure!

[@MarloLaw]

I have never used eevee in any pokemon game

[@henryschaack7936]

Blue only no Growlithe.

[@charlesbuchanan3146]

Alakazam

[@blackycat7539]

You forgot Lapras. And Gengar is bad because of its 2. typing poison, useless against psycho...

[@OSFalcon33]

Now do this same list in the context of JUST the Kanto games. Forget every other gen and this list will change. Don't forget, if you played the original games held items, breeding and abilities didn't exist.

[@FamousDave2186]

Ninetails is better than arcanine

[@sabaton001]

Gengar should be replaced by haunter for obvious reasons. Lapras should be on this list to, I would swap it with mankey (or growlithe).

[@m15km]

Why Haunter? Gengar has way better stats...

[@Klnkykoala]

Forst

[@sixtales7681]

Hot take, I don't really like Gengar. I was so happy when Ryme didn't have one in her gym battle. In fact, she doesn't use one at all which is a breath of fresh air. On a lighter note, my favorite two Pokemon to use in Kanto are Dragonite and Ninetales

[@Shimatzu95]

I dont think trade evolutions should be on these lists, simply because in older gens they are hard or even inpossible to obtain if you cant trade with yourself or there is one fixxed within the game.

[@gatorman5547]

I’m still waiting on a Pokémon Gale of Darkness best team video.

[@achyuthsuresh9762]

He never really made that, did he

[@Seth6000]

Top 10 Kanto Pokémon I use: Alakazam, Golduck, Magneton, Rhydon, Pidgeot, Machamp, Golem, Raichu, Snorlax, Vileplume

[@trevorstevenson4038]

Love a Machamp hey I used to gen 1 teach a machoke rockslide, trade it across to gen 2. LVL it up, BANG a Machamp with rockslide and cross chop.

[@IzzyReal]

WAIT... You're telling me that Arcanine, the only Fire Type with Intimidate until Incineroar was released, was the BEST Intimidating Fire Type until the release of Incineroar? What ARE the chances???

[@threemcgee1]

How dare you ish on flareon!

[@GLSnifit]

I think it's funny that I didn't use these Pokemon, aside from Mewtwo, Eevee, and Ditto. Though, I did evolve my Eevee into Flareon. I had Blue so couldn't use Growlithe and used Beedril instead of Butterfree.

[@thefirespecialist9007]

Posting Before watching..I. Top 5 Kanto Pokémon I use the most in Kanto have got to be: (no particular order, excluding starters of all kinds, and based on Yellow) 1: Bellsprout/Victreebel 2: Dugtrio 3: Kadabra/Alakazam 4: Snorlax 5: Mankey/Primeape

[@sovereignblastoise6767]

My personal favorite team for kanto would be Blastoise, snorlax, nidoking, Electabuzz, alakazam and Arcanine

[@bomfimrodrigo]

Nidoking, come on! Should have been the opening mention if my playground surveys are to be trusted

[@1adrock12]

I almost always use Nidoran male It gets access to double kick pretty quickly

[@lukediehl1210]

What about Lapras?

[@Grand_Master_Skywalker]

Lapras is always on my team in Kanto/Johto/Kalos games

[@Neos4500]

How is Dragonite not even on the list ?

[@Volkaroar]

I personally enjoy having Venomoth on my team when doing a Kanto run. Has Bug, Poison, Psychic, and Flying access and comes in really neat at times

[@F34rANDl4ught3r]

i like how dittos entry it switched from everyone's used it to everyone's caught it.

[@austinrode1352]

"They really, REALLY want you to use Gyarados" So much so... That an NPC will try to sell you a Magikarp for an "Outrageous" 500 pokédollars in the Pokémon Centre by Rock Tunnel's Entrance. Personally, I've never rated Gyarados as it's super weak to a well placed Electric attack... But it's Shiny version will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️
