I was planning on starting yellow over, and using a gameshark to catch any pokemon at the beginning.
What pokemon would you suggest I use?

Good pokemon? Well lets see...It's back in the day of yellow...Get bulbasaur as a starter and than catch a flying poke, maybe pidgey and evolve it. Than get a electric pokemon like pikachu and you should teach them different typed moves... can't think of anything else but just go from there.

^that post contains so much fail.

Well, you start with Pikachu, then get the 3 starters since they are in-game. Then maybe 2 of the legendary bird? I like Zapdos and Articuno but you already have an electric Pokemon...

I would get Charmander, Dratini, Gastly, (Gengar if you can't trade) Magikarp, Scyther, and Chansey. They don't work together very well, but that doesn't matter in-game.

Since you'll be using a game shark, just have all the legendaries and you are all set up. or you may have

So far, I am going to use

But I'm not quite sure on a 6th...

Well, if you want pokemon with high stats, go with Zapdos, Moltres or Mew...But seeing as you already have an electric, fire and psychic type, then maybe a strong physical attacker (Rhydon or Machamp) or Aerodactyl/Dugtrio for speed.

I don't have Yellow, but my team on Blue is pretty good, you might be able to get most of these



It's a good and pretty balanced team, and if I need to fly around, I normally take my Pidgeot with me and put snorlax in the PC

Hmmmmm, well it depends how u play it. If you are just casually playing through the game then any team will beat the E4. However, if you are serious about it then you gotta drop the ledgendaries because they are banned. I would suggest any of the following, you can mix and match them however you want:

A good team is a balanced team. Legendaries, for all their power, might be difficult to train. (I'm not sure if all Gamesharked Pokes come in around Lv. 5 or not...)

I would suggest some good type combos based on the Gym Leaders/E4 types.

Electric (Pikachu is a great mascot, ain't it?)
Water (useful in 2 gyms, works on 2 of E4)
Fire (useful in 3 gyms, works on 2 of E4)
Grass (useful in 3 gyms, works on 3 of E4)
Psychic (useful in 3 gyms, works on all 4 E4)
Flying (evade with Fly)
Ground
Fighting

By no means do you have to follow this pattern (not like you can actually have 8 Pokemon anyway... )

But I hope this helps!

I had gameshark on my pc , i started off with Charmander, Then got Dratini & Zapdos

playing through the game with a dratini would be sick.

then you would be a true dragon master.

like me....

Psychics and waters are generally good in rby, and some normals like chansey and snorlax. If you're just using it to play through the game, and you're getting them all from the start, mewtwo seems like the way to go.

Mewtwo with:

Blizzard/ice beam

recover

psychic

light screen/ or barrier

Nuff said.

I count 4 counts of Necromancy (but i had one xD)

I bet he has beaten the game by now.

Do you mean me erick?

you got one count but i was mainly aiming it at the dude it revived it from a year ago xD

Overreacting much... ._.

I have a list of the top 24 pokemon in R/B/Y that i made from the movesets and comments i found on the site;

(not in any particular order)

Chansey
Alakazam
Mewtwo
Lapras
Dragonite
Mew
Gengar
Slowbro
Snorlax
Tauros
Starmie
Exeggutor
Dodrio
Dugtrio
Persian
Machamp
Jynx
Jolteon
Zapdos
Rhydon
Cloyster
Golem
Victreebel
Charizard

I highly recommend Psychic pokemon! In Generation 1 psychic pokemon had only one weakness (bug), most bug pokemon are half poison anyway, and they had an immunity to ghost pokemon. Very very powerful. Life is sweet without dark pokemon.

Let this post die. Kleptomaniacs.... XD
