Slowking is broken AF (was later banned), so you have to run wartortle

you are right. Now that I think of it, I was basing my critique only on the original 151 cards(Base, Jungle, Fossil). I never ran Rain Dance past the time Team Rocket came out.

I made it really far in a tournament one time using a Jumpluff deck for shits & giggles.

Also there was one tournament I played in where the rules were Water Attacks do 2x damage, and I won it using a deck of Electric/Grass Pokemon to take advantage of the weakness.

It's all I play now, and it's great. Much more balanced than the brokenness of these old decks

Nice. I tried getting into Pokemon TCG online but it was just too confusing. Is this a game where you pretty much have to buy real life cards to get the cards you need, or can it be done without buying the cards in stores?

You can play the game without spending a dime, but the best thing to do is spend $10-20 on pack CODES and trade them for good cards to build a deck Or buy the cards you need

Playing through yellow at the moment. The games are so much harder when you try to be disciplined and train you pokemon relatively equally rather than just having one giant unbeatable badass.

Yellow and crystal were my favs

Was there ever a green version that came out with the originals or was that a myth?

IIRC the original games in Japan were Red and Green instead of Red and blue

Just watched Gunnermaniac fall short on a WR pace on Yellow. Was gonna shatter it. Hit the 14 percent Gyarados crit Hydro Pump in the elite four. God that was hard to watch.

Just beat Blue version. Big props to lvl 50+ Charizard and Articuno, Ice Beam FTW!!!

Can't believe how much fun that was, trainers weren't that hard at the end however. Does anyone have a recommendation for a version that's more challenging.

Just got my behind handed to me by the first of the elite 4.. Her water /ice team all 50+ I think. Been breezing through with my team and had two strong types to her but 48 Raichu and 44 Vileplume couldn't finish off that Lapras.. Might have to get a couple of my Poke's to level 50 before attempting again; my strongest is Kadabra 49.

Is soul silver on the freeroms website? I don't see it

Thanks
