#20 Raticate

2010-02-16T04:39:00.001-05:00

For the few who actually used Ratatta, they evolved it into a Raticate at lv.20 and JESUS CHRIST HYPER FANG. How is this attack SO strong in the original game? Dude you KNOW you had trouble with that one Team Rocket member in Mt. Moon who had the Raticate that spammed Hyper Fang at you. You know you did.

#19 Ratatta

2010-02-16T04:38:00.002-05:00

Oh Ratatta, you are so useless. Nobody used you. Go away.

#18 Pidgeot

2010-02-16T04:37:00.000-05:00

Pidgeot had such a terrible sprite back in this game. This did not stop it from being one of the most popular endgame Pokemon ever aside from starter Pokemon however! Seriously, who DIDN'T have a Pidgeot in their party when they faced down the Elite Four?

#17 Pidgeotto

2010-02-16T04:36:00.002-05:00

I never got why Ash caught a Pidgeotto as one of his first Pokemon. Whatever happened to that thing anyway? I remember him catching it and to my memory, NEVER SEEING IT AGAIN. Man they show his Tauros ranch more than they showed this Pidgeotto.

#16 Pidgey

2010-02-16T04:35:00.000-05:00

Everybody who ever caught a Pidgey ever kept that little guy in their team throughout THE ENTIRETY OF THE GAME. Don't even lie. You know you did.

#15 Beedrill

2010-02-16T04:33:00.001-05:00

Beedrill was perhaps my favorite Pokemon on my team whenever I played through the game a few years ago. Well, up to a point anyway. There is always that point where Bug type Pokemon become totally useless. 'Tis a sad tale.

#14 Kakuna

2010-02-16T04:32:00.000-05:00

Kakuna was so much cooler than Metapod, but what isn't?

This video made me laugh, hard. I have NO idea why.

#13 Weedle

2010-02-02T04:56:00.004-05:00

Weedle is great. Weedle is probably the first Pokemon you will catch that is capable of using a Poison attack (unless you got Nidoran(Male or female)). Let it be known now that I love Poison and Bug type Pokemon! So of course I am going to enjoy Weedle~

#12 Butterfree

2010-01-30T05:06:00.000-05:00

Butterfree is so important to a player in the first stages of a Pokemon game. Not only is it probably the first third stage evolution you will reach, but it has one of the first psychic attacks any of your Pokemon will learn in the game. Confusion was so useful in the early stages of the game. Butterfree for life~

#11 Metapod

2010-01-30T05:05:00.000-05:00

God, never catch a Metapod. I repeat, NEVER CATCH A METAPOD. Always evolve a Caterpie into a Metapod. Otherwise you will be stuck with a one trick pony that is incapable of doing anything but making it's defense go up. Metapod is so a useless Pokemon, evolve it to Butterfree as soon as you can.

#10 Caterpie

2010-01-30T05:03:00.001-05:00

Caterpie is one of the two Pokemon that I would say most people catch almost immediately after they gain the ability to catch Pokemon. I mean, it's one of the few in sight at first, ya know? I mean, heck, Caterpie was Ash's first Pokemon he ever caught! That set the stage for this little bugger to be popular~

#9 Blastoise

2010-01-30T05:02:00.000-05:00

Man, remember when you were a kid and you saw Blastoise on the Blue box and cartridge? He looked SO amazing and rad. But dude, once you got your Wartortle up to a high enough level and it starts to evolve, you get sorely disappointed. You expect this super rad rocket turtle, instead you get this fat slob. The later sprites are much better though!

#8 Wartortle

2010-01-30T05:01:00.001-05:00

I really can't think of anything amazing or fascinating to say about Wartortle. I like the way he looks, that is about it. Um.. My friend Max doesn't like Wartortle much? Whatever~

#7 Squirtle

2010-01-30T04:58:00.002-05:00

Squirtle is definitely the cutest of the three first generation starters, and he really takes out the first gym super fast, but he does not compare to the greatness of a starter that is Bulbasaur. In the anime, Squirtle is the coolest thing ever. Those shades, man~

#6 Charizard

2010-01-26T02:45:00.002-05:00

Yes, I realize that Charizard was a rad Pokemon to face the Elite Four with. But jeez, that Card. The Charizard Pokemon Card was the most sought after thing in the card game era. But why? It's not like it's useful. The Charizard card's only attack takes up EVERY ENERGY CARD IN YOUR DECK. Then throws them all away. I didn't get it. Why would you want this?

#5 Charmeleon

2010-01-25T23:11:00.000-05:00

Man what was Charmeleon's problem when he evolved? Ash was so nice to him and even saved him from dying out in the rain, then he evolves and basically sets Ash on fire every time he comes out of his Pokeball! Another reason why Charmander is the worst 1st gen starter

#4 Charmander

2009-12-02T01:04:00.001-05:00

I never really got into using Charmander, it always did terrible at the Pewter City gym and it forced me to raise other Pokemon, and when you are a kid, you don't really focus on anything but getting your starter Pokemon super strong, true facts.

#3 Venusaur

2009-12-01T20:43:00.002-05:00

Venusaur always seems to me like it would be the slowest pokemon ever. What kind of Pokemon wants a tree on it's back? Seriously! But he is a pretty cool guy, I guess~

#2 Ivysaur

2009-12-01T01:20:00.001-05:00

Ivysaur has always been one of my favorite Pokemon. I don't know why, but I like it much more than Venasaur, sometimes I intentionally press B any time it tried to evolve! But it would remain weaker, can't have that!

#1 Bulbasaur

2009-12-01T01:17:00.001-05:00

Man, what a great way to start off. Bulbasaur has always been my favorite of the three starter Pokemon that Oak gives you. So how great that he happens to be #1 in the PokeDex!

The Project

2009-12-01T01:10:00.001-05:00

I am Red Mage, bead sprite creating extrodinaire! I am going to make all 151 original Pokemon from the Red and Blue versions of the series out of beads! I was told by a friend that I should start a blog about this, and so, here it is!

I am going to go from a bluescale palette to a redscale palette between each pokemon.
So
Bulbasaur-Bluescale
Ivysaur-Redscale
Venasaur-Bluescale
Charmander-Redscale
and so on!

Until I get to Mew! and then perhaps a few more pokemon characters or items

Follow along with project Bead Region!
