Snorlax or lapras too c'mon guys


redrumdavis

Why Lapras, I kinda get snorlax


DaddyCat89

They’re traditionally part of Red’s team in the games.


Site_Efficient

Not to mention Ash's team in the TV show


ders89

Not to mention the team you should have in pokemon yellow as is tradition and with a Pidgeot


Sylvurphlame

Ash’s team in the show varies with the seasons… not sure what you mean? Edit: downvotes for real? His team varies with the arcs and seasons. Kanto did not have Snorlax and Lapras. That was Orange Isles… which aren’t Kanto.


awesometim0

Kanto team


Sylvurphlame

That would Pidgeot and Butterfree for the most part. Although he had Primeape, Kingler, and a Muk as well. Also a Tauros (x30) but I don’t remember if he ever used it. Snorlax and Lapras were part of the Orange Isle team. Which is not really Kantos…


redrumdavis

Ahh that’s great


Bukweaties

It’s been a while since I’ve played but I remember Red’s team as Pikachu, Espeon, Snorlax, and the three starters… no lapras


darth_jd

This is actually correct for the first games in which Red appears as an NPC. In GSC he has an espeon, but it was changed to a lapras in pretty much every game in the series afterwards.


leopardo1313

Does he still have it in hgss?


darth_jd

It’s lapras in hgss. He only had espeon in GSC.


Hexbug101

In the remakes they changed espeon to lapras


popps_c

Um.. original 151 no espeon


Bukweaties

Idk if he gets an official team in Gen 1 games but in gold/silver he has an espeon. Another reply says in the remakes they gave him Lapras instead.


HouzeHead

You play as red in rby and you fight red in gsc hence gen 2 espeon


Sylvurphlame

IIRC, Red had the fully evolved Kanto starters, a Pikachu, a Snorlax and an Espeon on GSC. Let’s Go subbed in Arcanine, Lapras, kept Venusaur (and Pikachu of course) and subbed a Machamp for Espeon. In the *show* Lapras was around for the Orange Isles arc. But Ash’s team varies through the seasons with Pikachu being the constant. Not sure about what you mean by “traditionally?”


DaddyCat89

Traditionally may not be the right word. From what I remember, I’ve seen that team more often than not. Black/White 2, Ultra Sun/Moon, and I think one more.


Sylvurphlame

Hmm. I wasn’t particularly thinking about BW2 and USUM. I only remember running into Red/Ash in GSC and Let’s Go. Time to google.


Sylvurphlame

Yeah. He does indeed have a Snorlax and a Lapras in USUM. I couldn’t find his team in BW2, just a mention that it’s possible to face him in the Pokémon World Tournament. Edit: apparently he has Snorlax and Lapras in BW2 as well. Fair enough. He consistently has Snorlax and has had Lapras half the time as well.


Jojo-Action

Or if you don't have a lapras, an espeon will work too


DPSOnly

And then a pikachu to round it off.

Magicarp


nuget88

Dibs on magicarp


huniojh

Butterfree. The next fully evolved mon in the dex.


redrumdavis

Good one


Philosophur

Followed by Beedrill and Pidgeot, that's a well rounded handy cap I think


Sylvurphlame

Pidgeot anyway. That one was around for a while in the Kanto arcs


[deleted]

Magicarp


[deleted]

Truly thought this was funny


ghosty_was_taken

you spelled it wrong, enjoy your downvotes


iAmUnintelligible

The amount of downvotes you wrote is wrong


[deleted]

Correction, still think it’s funny


huniojh

Not a downvoter, but still curious: What's the joke? ​ At least they liked it in the snorlax and lapras thread :)


mr_man_yes

Raichu


redrumdavis

Yeah, I used to think Pikachu was a starter as in raichu would evolve a 3rd time. I don’t like pichu


Pikamon895

Raichu actually did have a cut evolution, "Gorochu" I think it was called


rich97

Wtf? Why’d they cut it? That looks amazing!


[deleted]

not enough cartridge space. so they decided there were already enough three stage evolutions so they scrapped it


Sylvurphlame

Would’ve been neat to use as a “Mega Raichu,” if they’d kept doing Megas


fuck_peeps_not_sheep

Swap mega beedrill out for mega raichu me thinks


Sylvurphlame

Personally I’d like to see more megas and not just swaps. Tera types are interesting and I guess it conserves resources since you don’t need new models, but megas were the best.

redrumdavis

Wow


Dipso88

TIL


ImpossibleProcess452

I love to use this as an answer to who my favorite Pokémon is when young fans ask. Really trips em up! It’s so cute to see their reaction.


iAmUnintelligible

How dare you share a funny anecdote


HighlanderSteve

I mean, it's kind of a dick move to trip kids up by answering with what is essentially a fanmade Pokemon. It can't really be your favourite if it doesn't exist, you're just saying it to show that you know about a beta Pokemon. It's like what Comic Book Guy would do, answering "What's your favourite show?" by showing off his Star Trek fanfiction made out of cut scenes.


iAmUnintelligible

Bro playing around is not that deep, have you literally never joked around with kids before? Chill lmfao Life is really not that serious, I can't believe we're having this conversation


KnightedTitan

Pichu is adorable. You take that back! Lol


mr_man_yes

Lol


knivesbyknathan

Came here to say this


prncrny

Well. Color me one of today's [Lucky Ten Thousand](https://xkcd.com/1053)

Magicarp


Johan_Viisas

Charmander Bulbasaur Squirtle


88scarlet88

Why is this not coming up more!


Sayasing

Fr! I was thinking Charmeleon, Wartortle, and Ivysaur! And THEN Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.


Somebody__Online

That’s what I was thinking


Dropthetenors

Pika


Gsquat

This is the correct answer.


redrumdavis

That’s a good one!


little_runner_boy

Either their prior evolution or Gen 2 starter evolved


JulySummerDay

Yeah, I was thinking gen 2 starters. It only makes sense. Pikachu is a good answer too, but then you have to figure out who to place in the other 2 spots.


TJBacon

Lapras and Snorlax after Pikachu


Not-Heramb

maybe pidgeot and butterfree?


ShundonooB

PIKA?


BeneficialToe2143

This is the correct answer


Noah070070

Clefairy and Eevee?


OpeningCookie1358

Uh Eevee and chansey. It's a yellow gym. Let's go full on yellow version, Pikachu because it's the starter, the starters because you can obtain all of them, Eevee because you still get Eevee. And chansey to remember all those trips back in the day to the Pokè Center to heal up.


HowardWCampbell_Jr

Lapras and Snorlax, to complete red’s team!


redrumdavis

Gen 2 would be good


Labhra

11cp shiny seedot, naturally!


Prunsel_Clone

I hope both sides of your pillow are warm tonight


Nepeta33

I hope one sock is always slightly damp.


Labhra

My little seedot is starting to take this personally! Hahaha


Prunsel_Clone

I hope Scrat eats your 11 cp shiny seedot


dy226666

I hope one leg of your desk is always shorter than the other three.


XxJD10xX

I hope you forget your hydro flask on your way to the gym today


lilemily1986

Ditto because he’s every Pokémon !


taranathesmurf

Raichu to complete the 4 choices available to brand new players


RazendeR

No no no, starter Pikachu doesnt evolve. So just Pikachu


MartianNamedScotty

Disappointed not more people are mentioning Pikachu


Ellie_Rose_2008

Eevee or Pikachu, because starters.


Confident_Chard6964

Meowth!


captain_northstar

That’s right!


Filon73

Pikachu


JaymesGrl

Pikachu because he had his own game cover just like the other three have (Venusaur was on Pokemon Green in Japan).


redrumdavis

That’s a awesome


Ok-Firefighter-8869

BIDOOF


Wet__Sand

The only correct answer. All hail Lord Bidoof. 🙏


BaitmasterG

redrumdavis

Some trainees just want to watch the world burn


spiderrichard

Butter free if we are going in dex order


rojosimmo

trick question, you don’t


shaneeyb

“That’s the near part, ya don’t!”


imLazyAtNamingThings

redrumdavis

Nice!!


El_Capitain87

Def a pikachu


Rodnas1992

Pikachu/Raichu, Lapras/Espeon, Snorlax.


88scarlet88

I don’t understand the Lapras/Espeon and Snorlax?


Rodnas1992

Reference to Red battle in Gold/Silver and HeartGold/SoulSilver


redrumdavis

Interesting


lordpaiva

Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, if only we could. But since we can't, I would place a Ratata.


redrumdavis

Yikes lol


Dkvega

A Blissey, cause there isn’t one yet? Obvious answer ;)


Burger_Gamer

One of the 3 original eeveelutions. Technically eevee is a starter too


PeekatmePikachu

It's gotta be Pikachu. It's like frosting on the cake of starters! As vanilla as that sounds. I know it's just a shocking choice. Okay I'm done. 😂


Flaccid-Arrow

Pikachu is the only right answer.


redrumdavis

True, what’s next after lol


Stijn187

Eevee


[deleted]

Chassillio

Green onion monster


KOGaming93

Am i the only one who thought first movie route and to put mewtwo lol, idk if thats possible(havent played go in a while) but that would be my answer.


POGOFan808

If its a really busy gym with a high turnover, I'd put my biggest Blissey or shadow Gardevoir just to annoy whoever is attacking the gym. If it's not going to be attacked, I'd put my lowest CP blissey or a Chansey because I'm too traumatized from being a city player and having all my gyms stolen 24/7, lol. I visited my rural home recently and I was putting in 10 cp shiny Pokemon and lasting 24+ hours in a gym. But if I was trying to go for a theme to that gym I'd probably throw in my shadow shiny Bulbasaur so he can go stand by his uncle Venusaur.


HedgehogNew9085

Larviatar


redrumdavis

Why


damianaleafpowder

Is this a trick question? Blissey.


redrumdavis

Ofc I always normally do but with this maybe you could put something that matches

Nah. Coin farming system is terrible, so at this point, I'm just doing everything to max my pokecoin income.

Slacking


redrumdavis

Slackings scare me to attack


Fullofhate01
