      You have to nickel and dime with Lotad and Lombre before getting a Water Stone, which takes you a while because it isn't available until after the 7th gym. And while you have Lombre, you don't have any strong moves until you get Surf after the 5th gym.
      Seedot and Nuzleaf aren't much better, but at least Nuzleaf gets Faint Attack. Nuzleaf also has more attack than Lombre, which mean Fake Out does more. You also get to evolve Nuzleaf earlier, since you get the Leaf Stone in route 119 before the 6th gym.
      However, I will say that in the long run, Ludicolo is better than Shiftry thanks to being a little bit bulkier and having access to Ice Beam and Surf.

      @@salamibandit3070 Both games have very broken (although different) mechanics for calculating critical hit probability. Sricharan is however right, so you should keep your snarky ignorant comments to yourself. The critical hit chance always depended on the base Speed of the Pokemon using it, so it would change depening on the Pokemon. And it is never always 100% for every Pokemon, in any of the games.
      For the high critical hit moves, probability of getting a critical hit in Red/Blue/Yellow is BaseSpeed/64. So any Pokemon with a Base Speed of 64 or higher will always get a critical hit using Razor Leaf. So Venusaur and Victreebel will always get a critical hit, but Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, Bellsprout and Weepinbel won't The lowest rate is for Bellsprout, which still gets a 62.5% chance of scoring a critical hit with Razor Leaf.

    Something else about that Gen 1 Vileplume x Victreebel thing:
    Razor Leaf is almost 100% certain to critical hit, so it’s actually a 110 base power move. Also, Victreebel learns Wrap and Stun Spore and you know how OP Wrap is in Gen 1.

    • @visgrapplinghooks
      @visgrapplinghooks 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Yeah, the exact percentage is 99.6%. With Victreebel being faster as well, it's much easier for it to sweep any water or ground types in Gen 1 making it extremely useful against the first two Elite Four members. That said, though, Venusaur is a much better grass type in Gen 1 due to its bulk, higher speed than Victreebel, and the fact that it absolutely destroys the first two gyms early game.

    For me, usually a matter of which version of each set of games has the most version-exclusive Pokemon I prefer; it usually ends up being the first of a pair, but I can remember retroactively wishing I had played blue, because I came to like Magmar; that's why I got LeafGreen, but my first Pokemon game was Yellow, anyway.

    Unova games added an important difference for the first time: a location.
    White had the White forest, full of rare Pokemons from different regions, while Black had the Black city, full of strong trainers.
    Plus, ending White 2 gives you a key for an easy mode, and Black 2 gives you a key for a hard mode.
    I'd say White/W2 is made for collectors, while Black/B2 is made for competitors.

    For the Ho-Oh and Lugia situation, I would say that their signature moves are "version exclusive."
    When accessing to catch these legendary Pokémon early (Level 40), they have their signature move, Sacred Fire for Ho-Oh and Aeroblast for Lugia.
    When getting them after defeating Pokémon League and access to the Kanto region, they will be Level 70 without their signature move.
    Since Gen 2 doesn't have any move relearner (only move deleter). That just means that obtaining their signature move would be available by trading or cheat code.
    The enhanced version (Pokémon Crystal) isn’t better either as both legendary Pokémon are post-Pokémon League so they are higher levels but not as high as its sister versions (Level 60) and they don't have their signature moves.
    Of course, the remakes (HGSS) improved this by having access both signature moves for each legendary Pokémon.

    here I go again! I do agree with your individual matchups in FR and LG, but I will always use either Raichu or Jolteon over Electabuzz. And when it comes to Magmar... I don't normally use a fire type unless I start with Charmander, or if I want to use legendaries. For me, it really comes down to Sandslash or Skarmory. I know you can't catch Skarmory until later, but this is what I consider when I try to think of which game is better. I'd probably go with LG and Sandslash (might not be the best ground type, but it's my favorite) just because of Skarmory being so late in the game.

    Not exclusives, but I think in Gen 1 it's still worth mentioning Caterpie/Weedle. In Red, Viridian forest will be swarming with Weedle making that early game stretch harder if your Pokemon get poisoned. By contrast, not only is Viridian forest easier in Blue, but Caterpie evolves into the much more useful Butterfree, so not having to put as much effort into finding one is a double plus.

    Get 2 buddies over, ask if we have any preference of 1 game/starter over the other. If more than 1 guy likes the same stater we drew coloured marbles and the colour is what you pick (red for fire, blue for water, green for grass). Fortunately we never had a 3 way tie for the games. Then once we picked our starters we traded around so all 3 and their evolve forms are in the Pokédex. Then when breeding/the cloning glitch from Gen 2 was a factor we traded eggs/the clones.
