Hitmonlee's strongest fighting move still didn't even take away half of its health. Machamp is like the only exception to that rule in Gold/Silver because it has really good defenses to go along with one of the best Attack stats in the game period.

i can try! lol. im not gonna use Lapras in EVERY situation but i just like having at least one pokemon that's hardly vulnerable to anything.

im only talking about the second generation, those games go back a decade. pokemon's always been a really strategic game. the new games have added some shit, but the main difference is each generation has gotten successively harder so it's been more necessary to think about what you're going to train and how you're going to use it, whereas in Blue/Red you could train any podunk pokemon to level 70 or some shit and have some success with it.

anyone remember the first time they beat a pokemon game? what was your team like?

i had 3 strong pokemon and thats it.
Pidgeot, Poliwhirl, and Electrode.

First time:

Blastoise, Nidoking, Dewgong, Articuno, Vaporeon, Victreebel

zero diversity. Loved that almost all of them could use Ice Beam. I was a simple child.

[deanster321]

I didn't beat one until Silver. I think it was Typhlosion, Lugia, Gyarados, Pidgeot, Machoke/Machamp and something else (might have been Haunter)...

[spiffa0]

I had Hypno and then I dont remember what else because Hypno crushed everyone.

HeartGold is my favorite of all because i have been playing this from a long time ago.
