yikes

The design is everything to me. If a pokémon looks bad it doesn't matter if it knows an attack that turns its opponents inside out, it's still ugly.

Bah!

I personally consider Gen I as the real Pokemon, but Gen II and III are still good. I haven't had too much experience with Gen IV but it seems okay. However, it really looks like they've screwed up Gen V (Team PETA, I mean Plasma). Anyway, Charizard is still my favourite starter followed by Infernape and Sceptile (although I actually kinda prefer Grovyle).

The main thing which i think gets everyone is the fact that the first would be considered the "original". Since then, the following is just making more and more pokemon, nothing more, even the story barely changes.
After the first few, it just got old. As for the rage, that's probably because it's become a cash cow Franchise.

Look, I'm not saying all the other generations suck or anything. Just that I prefer the first one.
I haven't really gotten into the third and those after, but if I did, I'd probably like them too.

You would

The hoenn region was really good. But you are right, nothing beats the first gen, mostly because of the memories.

Also, the starters in the first gen were all cool, especially charizard. After Hoenn they just got sort of too cutsy, and the starters in the diamond and pearl game I ditched as soon as I found a suitable replacement. A monkey fire type? No thanks. The black and white starters were terrible with one exception, Serperior is now my favorite starter ever

Yeah, the nostalgia plays a huge role. I mean, my whole childhood revolved around 1st gen Pokémon.

Charmander

Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard is definitely my favourite starter of the franchise. By the way is there a Charizard member of the USEP Pokesquad?

Hm... I think I saw someone using my older brother as an avatar somewhere. Not sure, though.

Argonanza · Post by **Argonanza** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:43 am

That was Weasel, but he's Mewtwo now.

KalleFlaxx · Post by **KalleFlaxx** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 8:51 am

Ah, guess Charizard is fine, then.

Generalno1 · Post by **Generalno1** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 9:27 am

Ahh...nearing pg 100 of my most successful thread ever.
And I'm not even a member of the poké squad.
I think Blastoise was my favorite from First Gen, still my favorite form all time.

So can I join the USEP Poke-squad? Charizards are said to be competitive so how about the Competitive Charizard or the Strong-willed Charizard. Or for alliteration's sake: the Charming Charizard of the USEP Poke-squad?

Anyone can join, and alliteration is not necessary.

How exactly? (Alliteration is nice though

)

Edit: Thanks to VirtualWeasel for picking up a little error I made here

Okay, thanks.
On Avatar is there any way around the 27kb limit? Most of the images I want are around 50kb.

I'm afraid not Duruza. But, you could change the file type. It's possible the image is a .png, .bmp, .gnd, and those are all far larger file sizes than .jpg. If that doesn't work, then resize the image in GIMP, Photoshop, or some other image manipulation program.

Thanks, I'll have a go.

I usually resize my avatars with GIMP, then save them as .gif files. Haven't failed me so far.

Lugia beat Mewtwo here

My answer depends. Are we talking about Mew here, or Lugia? The only reason I ask is because I always think of Mew as female, and so I read 'he' and wasn't sure what to think.

Mewtwo. Mew is awesome too, but definitely a she.
Might I remind you Mewtwo was able to completely wipe dozens of people's minds of the events that transpired over hours; and then teleport them to where they were earlier in the day.
