    All I ever needed to beat anything or anyone was my naturally leveled level 100 Mewtwo. For some reason, leveling them up through grinding made them slightly more powerful than pokemon leveled entirely through Rare Candy. And since most kids I played with used the dupe glitch to level their Pokemon with the candy, I always beat them even if they also used a level 100 Mewtwo.

    Not gona lie, I still play pokemon like an 8 year old. I find some mons I like, I level them up and I just play through the game. If my party is too heavy on one weakness I might switch one or two out, but that’s the extent of it and I really don’t think about it much.

      I had a Pokemon Yellow cartridge with a dead battery. So I would play until the gameboy battery died and started over each time. I remember getting to or just past Misty.

        Pokemon yellow was the first Pokemon game that I played (my friend lent me the game for a weekend). Long story short, I didn’t complete the game and later on I got Pokemon Blue.

        Now I remember, when Pokemon Stadium was released with the Gameboy adapter, me and my friends did the fragile abomination, N64 controller, the Gameboy adapter, GameShark connected to the adapter and Pokemon (Gameboy version) attached to it. This setup was cursed, you slightly tap it and all progress disappears faster than Abra.

    Last “standard” Pokemon game played was Let’s Go Eevee. The game gave Eevee an amazing moveset. I beat the entire game with just Eevee out front. With the exception of a few double battles no one else made it into the field. Up to Misty or so there was a tiny bit of challenge, but after that just Eevee one shooting everyone.

    New champ Butthead didn’t stand a chance.
