Random & Pointless Thoughts...A Waste Of Your Time

No offense meant by this, but how old are you? I just want to know, you don't even have to tell us the exact year if you don't want
No offense taken. I'm 33. I'm guessing that's a six to nine years older than the average user here. I recently came across my second grade journal in my parent's basement and there are entries about wrestling from 1986 and 1987.
I actually found a similar book that at like 6, I was writing about wrestling. Ah, when it wasn't fake. But I digress.
Not to make this a pokemon thread, but there's something else that bugs me. So, in Lavender Town, they talk about all of these marowak that are killed, and how cubone is the lonely pokemon, because its mother is gone.
Then how do marowak appear in, like, the Safari Zone and Victory Road, and such?

That's actually a very good question. I always figured they only work once due to something in them that malfunctions if the pokemon avoids being captured. It would make capturing them too easy if you had an unlimited number of uses for each ball.
Funny story about pokeballs.... I once caught Ho-Oh with a Lure Ball. True story. I was all out of every single type except for the basic pokeballs and a couple of Lure Balls I had never used since my classmate told me they sucked. I told him this and his jaw dropped.
Those are Cubone that evolved. The Cubone lost its mother but Marowak never went extinct since Cubone evolve into them.
The craziest thing in Pokemon though has to be the Kangaskhan that Missing Number evolves into if you use a rare candy on it. A Kangaskhan that knows Water Gun and Sky Attack. This same Kangaskhan worked fine on Pokemon Stadium with no glitches. I once tricked a friend into thinking he had me defeated when he sent out a Machamp but I sent out my Kangaskhan and killed him with Sky Attack, he got so pissed off! It was hilarious.

Speaking of Pokemon, I remember on Red, Blue and Yellow when I'd go in the Safari Zone I used to get so pissed off when I could never get any rare pokemon like Chansey, Scyther, Tauros (however that's spelled) or Kangaskhan to stay in the damn safari balls. It's stupid to have them show up there (if you got shit lucky) then not even be able to catch them.
Another thing that bugged me was in Red and Blue, it's almost impossible to find a wild Pikachu. I feel like Pikachu was the most popular pokemon from the original 151 but yet it was impossible to own one in two of the original games without trading!
Also who wants this pokemon?

I used to wonder this too, but I figure that when it breaks out of the ball it comes out with so much force that it breaks the ball into pieces. I'm sure Bill or Lisette or some other character that is a genius when it comes to Pokemon technology could reassemble a broken Pokeball, but since your character is just a 10 year old kid he does not have that knowledge.
There was a glitch in Red and Blue that got around that. I believe they fixed it in Yellow, but in Red/Blue there was an area where you could encounter Safari Zone pokemon. I believe it was the east side of Seafoam Island alongside the island, the same way you'd search for Missing Number at Cinnabar Island. Whatever region of the Safari Zone you were in when the time ran out, that's the group of pokemon who would show up in that spot. It made Chansey, Tauros, and Scyther MUCH easier to catch. Safari balls were worthless.
They weren't too tough for me to find. They were in Viridian Forest. The most elusive to me was Magmar.

Seafoam Islands, that was a place you could get to if you had a pokemon use surf starting in pallet town right?
I only found one or two in there ever.
Seafoam was where Articuno was. Surfing from Pallet Town got you to Cinnabar Island where the Fire Gym was.
You probably just had a string of bad luck then. They were rare but not THAT rare.... I know the frustration you must have felt there though, for me it was Magmar. He was always my last of the original 151 each time I played Blue.

I never got all 151. None of my friends or cousins would trade with me for ones I didn't have.
I always liked yellow the best because you have a core 4 of electric, grass, fire and water. I'd add in a ghost type and a rock (or bird) type and be pretty set usually not even needing the last two because the other 4 would be at such a high level.

I had all 151 in Blue, all 251 in Gold, and all 493 in Diamond. I had classmates in the first two generations that I traded to get the ones I lacked in Red and Silver respectively. In Diamond I had a D&D group in college and we all traded with each other although I was the only one who was able to get all 493. This includes the "event" ones such as Mew/Celebi/etc. I got them via GameShark but I got everything else legitimately. The worst of all was Milotic, I will NEVER put myself through that level of torture again. The "friendship" evolutions were a colossal pain too.
Yellow was good in the sense that you had all three of the starters available without having to trade, yes. I usually never bothered with anything beyond the starters or the legendaries when it came to the actual battling aspect of the game though. I went through Emerald with nothing but my Fire type starter once, that was fun. My Mewtwo and Rayquaza tag team were undefeated in Diamond, the two of them together could take out all 17 types in a double battle due to how I set up their moves.

That glitch in pokemon blue and red for the rare candies/missingno was great. I managed to secure a level 140+ Mewtwo. It was all dependant upon the name you picked at the start of the game, the pokemon that would show up. You'd also find level 18 Mankey or Drowzee from other areas. Only problem being if your over level 100 pokemon reached the next level, they'd level down to 100. Not that bad but having a pokemon that could be a maximum of level 255 was great.
I've never had a trading partner so I never got all of the pokemon on a single game, but I did get about 230ish on crystal. Although I did once buy two gameboys with two cartridges to trade with myself in parallel games, but that was so depressing. But ultimately all worth is for scizor.

Wait the name you chose effected what pokemon you could catch? Explain.

It's something with the coding. The missigno glitch was attached to the name you chose and the letters in your name would be attached to a Pokemon.
