So i was playing Pokemon Fire Red on an emulator.

I was doing great, my team was Venasaur, Arcanine, Scizor, Dragonite, Kabutops, and Zapdos

And then. tragedy struck

My dog (very tiny) comes up,and presses the back button, the left arrow key.

I had no save file in my files, therefore, i. lost. everything. including 3 shinies

I'm playing the games in Japanese currently, but my Japanese isn't good enough yet to follow a guide fully in Japanese. So I'm wondering if there's a place in English that I can find the differences. I asked chatgpt and it said some stuff like spawn rates are different.

Back in the early 2000s I remember hearing about the missingno glitch and then being surprised it was actually true lol.

But there were also some much crazier ones that were clearly made up, can't even properly remember them now.

True or not I'd love to hear what rumours you have heard. Please share!

Absolutely phenomenal video of Red's story that I came across and wanted to share. It has wonderful storytelling through great animation, sound, action (and even some teary eye moments), suspense, and some fun nods to the games. The creator of the animation is in the video and linked directly to him, so this should still be following the source material rules. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did!

I've played Firered/Leafgreen, Silver and Crystal, Emerald, those classics and I recently struck gold and found an old og copy of Blue in storage. And it works! So I have to do a playthrough now. I'm the type of person to do an hour or so of research into the game to see what pokemon I want to use based on looks, strength, and compatibility with the rest of the team, and Blastoise is my favorite starter but after seeing Gyarados and Snorlax as ice beam users (Snorlax with amnesia too, insane), I want them on my team. But I feel I can't justify it on a Blastoise team, Venusaur fits with them better. Before I start the run tho, if anyone has reasoning that these team members would work just as well with Blastoise I'm all ears.

i gonna play pokemon red for the first time i have seen the the sprites and i dont have much problem with the front sprites but the back sprites are aanother story so i wanted to ask of the 3 starters which should i choose if i gonna see the back sprite a lot specially the back of the last evolution

I discovered this entirely by accident while working on a ROM hack, but confirmed that it's present in the base game. Doesn't hurt anything, and doesn't seem like it could be potentially useful, but I couldn't find anything about it when I looked it up, got a little excited, and wanted to share.

When playing on a Super Gameboy, save your game in Rock Tunnel (or any dark area, if you're on a ROM hack that has other dark areas) without using Flash. Reload your game, and when you get to the point where you can select Continue or New Game, go back to the title screen, then forward again to the menu. The game will load the third color from three different color palettes (the two logo color palettes and the color palette for Mew) and display them on portions of the screen, then color the whole screen with the color from Mew's palette. At this point, you can continue or start a new game, and the colors clear. It seems to be caused by the game loading in a save where the palette offset variable that makes Rock Tunnel dark has been set.

If you do this on a regular Gameboy (and probably a Gameboy Color) instead of loading three colors, the entire screen will get tinted gray, but once again you can still continue or start a new game without any trouble and the gray will clear up.

which team you think is better and more balanced for a first time playthrough playing pokemon red venusaur raichu snorlax lapras arcanine and machamp or charizard snorlax lapras jolteon gengar hitmonlee

i also wanted to ask how good are venusaur and charizard in this game are the worth using from early to endgame i ask because in gen 1 psychic type was op and well venusaur is grass/poison and i saw charizard stats in gen 1 and his attack is 84 and special 85 also he is weak to rock water electric and ice in gen 1 i know that it has a hard time with brock and misty so a wanted to know if after that it become better from that point to the end game or it wont do anything a be a dead weight
