Everybody gangsta until Hoenn instruments start playing in Kanto

[@mammothplant]

FireRed was the first game I ever beat; I think I was 6 or 7. This was the first final boss I had ever faced, so the concept of an endgame opponent was entirely new to me -- and boy, seeing my rival who I'd been facing off against the entire game, always one step ahead of me, sitting atop his throne as the most powerful trainer in the world, and then hearing his new theme play, complete with a god damn *choir,* really felt like the ultimate battle.

[@cuhgaming4943]

I always liked the rival more then Red. His confident and cocky personality was perfect for a rival and when I was young I thought he was so cool

[@genarftheunfuni5227]

I bet it was even more satisfying when seeing how you defeat that cocky asshole that was always one step ahead of you.

[@doppiotaro]

Apparently, you can't use only a level 82 Venusaur. Lorelei taught me that one lol

[@Princess_Ruto]

Years ago, I hit that same trap. Was even worse because my tween ass didn't teach it Razor Leaf.

[@GetOverItYT]

OF COURSE! You also need a level 3 pidgey! :D

[@xcourtesyxflushx1697]

Lol I tried beating it with a level 84 kadabra and always made it to lance

[@mikelwiese9224]

cant remember if it was my first game I ever beat but I remember that I did it with a level 78 Vaporeon only and Blue picked charmander as his starter

[@ICM_IlleCapello]

wkwkwk... Indeed... I remembered F1-powered Gengar with Thunderbolt... wkwkwk...

[@SneakyMuffin]

The memories of this fight the first time and not knowing the rival was actually the champ. My ten year old jaw hit the floor.

[@andreas.2494]

Bruh same this was even my first Pokemon game no less!

[@not_juano]

right? when lance told you that the rival had beat him first and he was the champion, I was like wait what? but I struggled so much against your dragonite already 😭

[@salvagedsanity7252]

My team for the league was: Venusaur: (60) Machamp (58) Lapras (60) Raichu (58) Rhydon (59) Magikarp (5) That Magikarp served no purpose but it was funny seeing him in the hall of fame.

[@jenisia3600]

Lmao 🤣🤣 pin this fukin comment

[@halangry_birds2914]

That Magikarp was solely for character quota and nothing else.

[@KingJim97]

Ok but I gotta know. Did you buy it off the dude in the poke center then just leave it in your team for the rest of your journey, or did you catch one towards the end for the giggles?

[@briankim1098]

Magikarp was there for moral support because Magikarp is our friend

Bro I used mr mime to set up barriers and calm minds. My salamamdra destroyed blastoises ugly face with blast burn.

[@imperialguard5599]

Unless you have Blastoise, that beast legitimately has an advantage over Venusaur because of Ice beam.

[@den1991nis]

this was the most epic champ theme imo 🥰

[@cheeszy4696]

Because the Champion is badass, smell ya later

[@excalibur493]

Nothing beats this imo. I love Steven's champion theme, but it's not as intense as this.

[@supermasterball1987]

Pokémon 🔥 Red: Charizard, Pidgeot, Raticate, Nidoking, Electrode and Vaporeon. Pokémon 🍃 Green: Blastoise, Fearow, Raichu, Ninetales, Primeape and Victreebel. Amazing battles against the Champion, intense, on🔥.

[@captainfalcon3036]

I just finished my red Version for GameBoy and i defeated Blue with a (i would say underleveled) Team. But hey, I finished it. But this music, gave me the vibes during the fight😅😏

[@MicahMG999]

When I beat blue, my charizard was level 50, the rest of my team were in the late 40s.

[@shujihanma8392]

my pokemon when i was a kid is Charizard Level 73 Gengar Level 69 Gyarados Level 70 Rhydon Level 73 Jolteon Level 65 Pidgeot Level 71

[@cuhgaming4943]

Dont remember levels: Venysaur Pidgeot Rhydon Electabuzz Arcanine Primeape I also called Rhydon, Deez Nuts. Cause Go Rhydon Deez Nuts

[@AusterLiteax]

Nice Gengar Level xd

[@TheGardiner]

When I nuzlocked FireRed, my team was Venusaur, Arcanine, Gyarados, Lapras, Hypno, and Nidoking

[@wellplayod1957]

Beat this man last night for the first time Blastoise Lv 54 Pidgeot Lv 53 Raichu Lv 53 Ninetales Lv 54 Dugtrio Lv 53 Articuno Lv 54

Funny you say that, I also beat him for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Congrats! Blastoise Lv 50 Zapdos Lv 52 Snorlax Lv 50 Hypno Lv 48 Primeape Lv 50 Nidoking Lv 50

[@MagnetonPlayer_2]

I'll never forget that first game of leaf green, i finished it with Venusaur Raichu Nidoqueen Sandslash Weezing Rhydon Sadly the phone with the emulator and savefile died because of battery expansion, but at least i saved a picture of the hall of fame by importing the file to my PC

[@MyDude._.]

Your team actually has great coverage over blue! You could use Rhydon to easily knock out Pidgeot Alakazam would be the only problem You could use Venasaur against his Rhydon You could use Weezing against his Exeggutor Raichu to shatter his Gyarados And Rhydon to knock out his Charizard.

[@dragumkirisute1998]

My final team for Leaf Green was: Charizard Blastoise (traded from another save) Venusaur (same deal as Blastoise) Jolteon Alakazam Tyranitar But before i had tyranitar i used Rhydon

[@sombrapro_gamer4492]

I beat with Charizard Nidoking Gyrados Zapdos Articuno Hitmochan

[@professionalidiot1156]

whenever i listen to this song,i get filled with nostalgia and feel really good because i beat blue FIRST TRY.

[@craigtosh3370]

That’s good lol. The elite four from the 1st generation games are hard as fuck.

[@thetoxicwaltzer]

I just played Fire Red for the first time recently and I myself beat Blue on my first try!

[@lethalvenom5263]

I beat Cynthia in platinum first try when I was 5. Somehow, I lost to F##king Lance.

[@MicahMG999]

I think blue was much easier than lance

[@averagefanenjoyer8696]

I beat Cynthia on my first try as a kid on Platinum. But it was incredibly close. 3 more turns and I would've lost.

[@excalibur493]

I beat the original Red with just Blastoose, Dugtrio, and Nidoking. It was easy enough because I know about Gen 1's weird mechanics, but I doubt I'll pull it off again on Fire Red.

[@krutopyusYT]

Team I used to beat that asshole when i was a kid -Blasty (Blastoise) -Eagle (Pidgeot) -Bruce lee (Hitmonlee) -Xiphos (Zapdos) -Spoons (Alakazam) -Bell (Victreebell) Yeah my team sucks I forgot their levels lol

well, your team actually has some great coverage against blues team

That's What Happened to Me.@@xeronylloyd21

[@RowletGod69]

Blue was fucking hard to beat lmaoooo, this theme goes insanely hard

[@TheStartMenu]

My team was: eBay (Charizard, Lv. 48) Febreeze (Jolteon, Lv. 53) Gateway (Lapras, Lv. 50) Dell (Kadabra, Lv. 49) Vine (Scyther, Lv. 46) Yahoo! (Pidgeot, Lv. 43) I named my pokemon after anything that came to mind first, and yes, I was HEAVILY underlevelled for the E4, so i made very heavy use of revives/full restores, practically spamming them.

[@judgementwings]

Beat my first nuzlocke on LeafGreen Lv:60 Charizard Lv:60 Dodrio Lv:60 Graveller Lv:60 Mr:Mime LV: 60 Gyrados LV: 60 Jolteon Great battle never had such a fun time in a Pokémon battle in a long time. Felt like I was actually in danger of losing everything.

[@starscratcher]

my team is: Venusaur Pidgeot Alakazam Dugtrio Arcanine Golduck

[@neroraul3550]

I just did a play through with Red’s team from Let’s GO. Pikachu Arcanine Lapras Snorlax Machamp Venusaur When I rematched Blue, I swapped out machamp and Arcanine for Espeon and Typhlosion. I only used Pokémon Red used. It was a fun time waster, and the battle against Blue is always fun.

[@ejcbubba27]

I did a Hardcore Nuzlocke in LeafGreen last year and won. This was my final team along with their respective Nicknames, Levels, Movesets and Abilities when I entered the Hall of Fame: 1. Cabbage (Lv. 61 Venusaur): Razor Leaf, Leech Seed, Sleep Powder and Frenzy Plant with the ability Overgrow. 2. Raspberry (Lv. 62 Slowbro): Surf, Psychic, Ice Beam and Flamethrower with the ability Oblivious. 3. Squash (Lv. 61 Dragonite): Fly, Outrage, Rock Tomb and Fire Blast with the ability Inner Focus. 4. Grapefruit (Lv. 62 Raichu): Iron Tail, Thunderbolt, Quick Attack and Thunder Wave with the ability Static. 5. Potato (Lv. 61 Snorlax): Yawn, Protect, Body Slam and Shadow Ball with the ability Thick Fat. 6. Onion (Lv. 61 Rhydon): Rock Slide, Earthquake, Brick Break and Double Edge with the ability Rock Head. My naming theme was fruits and vegetables and I had no deaths at all during the E4 and Champion fights respectively. It was pretty easy but pretty fun for a first nuzlocke though. This was probably one of my best teams I've had in a Pokemon game in a long time.

[@dr.toxicgamingmadscientist]

I got a better team for ya Blastoise - Rocky Pinsir - Galvatron Sandslash - Bodega Magmar - Hot Head Porygon - Technos Beedrill - Waspinator Literally the oddest team but I slaughtered everyone in the league

[@professionalidiot1156]

Team I used to beat blue: Squirt (Blastoise) Cheeky (Raichu) [ Cheeky was the MVP of the run, was the highest level team member at level 66, and the Pokémon I used the most] Fatty ( Snorlax) Brokel ( Dragonite) level 64 Squishy (Kadabra) Silver ( Flareon) I only remember Cheeky & Brokel’s levels.

My only pokemon was a level 87 Blastoise with Ice Beam prepared against Venusaur. I missed Ice Beam 1st turn and Venusaur hit me with sleep powder and ended all my remaining pokemon that contained an HM mule, gift pokemons that I never use and a pokemon caught from the victory road which was an Onix.

[@RaxusPrime29]

I went up against Blue and his Alakazam wiped 4 of my pokémon. So after defeat decided to grind a bit more in training. I made a couple of swaps Then this is the team I beat him with Blastoise Flareon Raichu Dodrio Exeggcutor Hypno
