Despite claiming to be mature, the original Pokemon games will always be cool to me.

Maybe if people acted more like Pikachu and ran around and did stuff, they’d also end up like the newly sculpted Adonis that Pikachu now is!

Anonymous asked: Who were your top 6 pokemon?

Ah jaysus, Anon… are we having a Pokemon night?

OK, I’ve got nothing else to do, so I’ll endulge…

I never cared about picking the strongest, I always had the 8-10 that I would want with me in “real life” - yup, I was that kid (and I’d still do the same now if you made me play!).

  1. ALWAYS start with Charmander. Charizard is king. A team without him will not have my respect.
  2. First 2 catches always stay with me until the end. First up, Caterpie. Butterfree is the shit. Having a psychic pokemon so early is awesome. And all the colours!
  3. And at the same time, the next catch has to be Pidgey. Pidgeot is the only way to fly first class.
  4. With Caterpie and Pidgey being fairly weak, you need to add some extra muscle. Enter Geodude. That floating mother-fucker is your defensive juggernaut. Why he evolves into something that has to stand on the ground (and therefore becomes less cool) is beyond me, but when you get swapping with a friend and get him back as a Golem, honour is restored.
  5. You need to surf. So this is a toss-up between 2. The experienced player with start with a Squirtle, trade a friend, then restart with your Charmander, and then get Squirtle back. Blastoise knows where it’s at. Alternatively, you slap an exp-share onto a Magikarp and conquer all with a majorly bad-ass Gyarados. 
  6. And finally, possibly the coolest of the lot (not counting Charizard, obviously) has to be Scyther. That sharp speedy little bastard will slice’em up! He just looks the coolest.

There’ll be time along the way when you’ll want to add some elctricity, or simply mix it up a bit. So honourable mentions to;

  • Zapdos (Pidgeot replacement)
  • Alakazam (Butterfree replacement)
  • Dugtrio (Golem replacement)
  • Draginite (Because he’s a fucking dragon!)
  • Hitmonchan (Fire, Ice AND lightning punch!)


No replacement for Charizard. It’s not allowed. Mew or Mewtwo can lead the way IF YOU MUST. But if you want a different fire pokemon, I’ll allow you an Arcanine… maybe Magmar.


And there goes any credibility I had…
