I’ve never watched pokemon nor played the games, so I chose now is better then ever to start.
I’m gonna post weekly or so about my progress through the games, starting with blue. No cheats.
So far I just defeated Brock and gave my Rattata Bide. I’m hunting for pokemon to replace my sucky Catterly with.
My starter was bulbasuar. I would like to post my saves but idk if mods will allow me
I don't think I would have recommended originals games to anyone starting their Pokemon journeys. That being said, if you're okay with the outdated ergonomics, that's good.
Also, the anime just closed its "Ash" chapter. 12 episodes in the new season and it feels like a reboot. No Team Rocket to break the rhythm of the episodes. So, now might be a good time to follow the anime.
Anyway, have fun!
