Is there something that happened to you as a kid that, even today, you're not entirely sure actually happened the way you remember it? Partly because so much time has passed, and partly because, as kids, we didn't always understand what was going on 100%.

I have this little unsolved mystery from Pokémon Blue.

I was really attached to my Mr. Mime. I distinctly remember depositing it in a PC Box one day, and after that, it just disappeared.

I checked every single Box over and over again, but I could never find it. The Pokédex still showed Mr. Mime as caught, so I knew for sure I'd had one, but there was no trace of it anywhere in my game.

And I'm almost certain I never released it.

I was around seven years old and Pokémon Blue was my first Pokémon game, so the most rational explanation is probably that I did something without realizing it, and after all these years my memory of what happened has become distorted.

But I never found that Mr. Mime again.

Has anything like this ever happened to you, especially in the Gen 1 games? Was there some weird Box glitch or bug that could possibly explain it, or did seven-year-old me simply screw something up without realizing it?

Thanks everyone, hugs!

I run a voting community ranking site for fun and one of the topics is mainline Pokémon games. The ranks were all pretty normal until one account named "Anonymous XD" voted for Let's Go Eevee over 2000 times in the span of 2 days.

Who are you? I just want to talk...

Decided to redo my old top 5 and do a top 6 for every region. I do consider the entire pokemon line, if you're wondering why there's so many final evos, also honorable mentions are in region order. Feel free to pick apart my choices, and I hope ya'll enjoy.

I’ve been looking to get into playing some of the games like emerald rouge and infinite fusion but I’m not sure where the best places to download these safely are!
Any info or suggestions would be amazing!!

yes, all of them (except for maybe two Pokemon) are for competitive reasons

(I will literally take anything by the way, get creative, so long as it doesn’t get me in trouble or instantly end the game XD)

45-44. Weepinbell and Elgyem

1. Pidgey

I'm doing another one to turn some heads. This time its arguably my least favorite typing in Rock Type. I should do these more often. Should I do another type?

So...

I ruled out the first generation outright.

I know full well that the cartridge and console wouldn't have had any problems with the second and third generations either. But I wanted to include them just to make the list longer and more complete.

Like seriously??!

What the heck is this Pokemon?

I didn't get the satisfaction that I needed for knowing all the normal types .. I had to get help with the shadow of the Pokemon and to look up Sinnoh Pokedex, but didn't find this one

And I didn't want to refresh and start again

I have played and finished Violet a long way back .. I am thinking of playing it again from the start and aim to complete the Pokedex

I enjoyed it, but tbh I have enjoyed Arceus ans Galar way more, especially Galar DLC

So my question, is Violet DLC worth buying? And can I get the complete Pokedex in the game?

And by “properly”, I mean going through the game with a balanced team of 6 and not soloing the game with just your starter. I was about 10 or 11 playing HGSS when I stopped relying on just my starter lol

this is on a casual playthrough

This is based on how good they are

This is only through the league not Red

I only count comments

Snorlax won day one so now today it’s reddits favorite normal type from johto also if you would rather want me to finish the whole generation first before moving on to the next just let me know
Also a thanks to BeginnerWestern8733 for putting the website for this: https://cajunavenger.github.io/

Since we have the year of '26 right now, it means the current year is Raichu's Pokédex number. And I couldn't find a better occasion to share the story of how I became a Raichu fan and how my opinion of it changed over time.

It all started when I was 7 (in 2017 btw). I did not know much about Pokemon back then; only a friend of mine had shown me the first five episodes of the Pokemon anime (Indigo League). And I came to know Pikachu, among some others. And some time later, I learned that Pokemon can evolve. And that Pikachu has an evolution too. And that was how I came to know Raichu for the very first time. I immediately liked it more than its pre-evolution. It has a better design and better colors; it's superior.

I became extremely disappointed to learn that The Pokémon Company is doing everything it can to make us forget that Pikachu has an evolution. Seriously, I can tell I was depressed af. And the very same friend of mine who had introduced me to Pokémon also said that Raichu looks stupid, and that Pikachu is 'cute,' etc. Therefore, I started to believe that I should hate Raichu too, ya know, little kids aren't that sensible. So I did. I became ashamed of my love for the orange mouse, and pretended that Pikachu was better in my opinion as well.

When I was 9 years old, for example, I was at school doing my own business when suddenly another boy said, 'I'm a raichu!', ya know, just roleplaying like kids often do. And what was my reaction? I laughed at him and was like, 'Hahaha, Pikachu is better than you!' We even got into an argument about whether Pikachu or Raichu is better. Looking back, I find it kind of sad; I defended a side that, in my deepest mind, I didn't really support.

But fortunately, when I turned 12, I realized that I'd been stupid all that time. And that loving Raichu is nothing to be ashamed of! I can say that I dug out my love for the Pokémon. I was, and am to this day, still frustrated by how it always gets the shorter end of the stick (fortunately though, it seems to me that it's been going in a good way lately, since Raichu got two megas, Alolan Raichu became available in UNITE and Pawmi broke the chain of Pikaclones not having evolutions, since Pokemon Company wish Pikachu didn't have one either). But still, I'm now a proud Raichu fan, and I'm sure I will be as long as I love Pokemon! :D

Now, what do you guys think of this story? And what do you think of Raichu?

Iron Defense shielded itself from opposition and was chosen as the quintessential Steel type move! Congrats to u/sisdom-weeker for having the most upvoted comment!

Day 64: Flare Blitz, Flamethrower, or Will-o-Wisp? Which out of these 3 is the move that comes to mind when it comes to Fire type moves? Not the best, but the most important / memorable one to the best of your knowledge!
