Jesus christ I only just now got it.

The first appearance of one of Team Rocket's most simple and ineffective traps.

pokemon sure makes me nostalgic

>>8848935
I pray NP issued a public apology for all the kids who lost everything because of their incorrect statement that you would keep all your Pokemon if you start a new game.

Issue #117

>>8849097
lol modern school lunches are far worse than that

>>8849193
So, uh, is this storytime still going or what?

>>8848913

This storyline is kinda depressing.

>>8849634
There are no happy endings in Pokemon

>>8849676
There's no endings, period.

>>8848948

Apparently you had to mail them your cartridge in order to receive Mew, if you won a Mew.

>>8849034
>The limited edition gold Game Pak (of Ocarina of Time) contains exactly the same game as the gray version.
Technically true, for now.

>>8849906
For now...?

Not trying to be greedy because these threads have been great but I wish each pic was a 2 page spread.

>>8850002
The gray cartridges at launch are indeed identical to the gold. But when they do later prints and the more famous revisions, that's when the green blood and no more fire temple chants happen.

>>8848825
pokemon powers were GOAT

>fell asleep posting again
Damn, my bad.

More later

>>8849037

Malon was inspired by Peach?

>Sure, a full team of six powerful pokemon is good, but have you ever considered using a low level shitmon as bait?
I guess it's not a 90s Pokemon strategy if it isn't laced with some bullshit.

>>8851174
Scouting actually is a proper competitive Pokemon strategy. It's just not done with a level 7 Squirtle.

>>8849037
>"mum`s the word" in the January code section
I thought that was a brit only spelling?

>>8851174
>Dragons are vulnerable to other Dragon-types
If only the sole Dragon attack wasn't locked at 40 damage.

>Fighting a Psychic type? Use Leech Life or Lick
The typing is correct, but good luck on that when they do nigh-useless damage and are tied to Poison-type Pokemon who get slaughtered by Psychic-types before they can even move.

It wouldn't be until at least Gen3 when typings and attacks start getting more balanced.

>>8850603
>>8850604
I wonder if anyone won

>>8850804
sounds like bullshit

>>8849083

Not a good sign when eternally optimistic Nintendo Power starts an article with the words "With its awkward controls".

>>8851457
No, we just don't really use "mum" in the US outside of that one idiom.

>>8851576
Lick was bugged in gen 1, so it did no damage to psychic types.

>>8852836
Its base damage is a pitiful 30. You're not taking out an Alakazam with this even if it wasn't bugged.

Nester should have been a secret Pokemon

>>8850680
Would love to get my hands on one of those nintendo repair service neon lights but I but they're super rare/expensive. Not a thing on ebay right now.

>>8850532
It's good that the N64 is finally getting its 74th racing game and thereby becoming a fully matured gaming platform that really must be taken seriously

>>8854352
Funny part is that the original Snowboard Kids was released only a year prior in the western world, so Snowboard Kids 2 hitting so fast is REALLY impressive.
Snowboard Kids Plus on the PSX would never get an international release, though. No giant nose big titty snowboard kids for us.

>>8848929
>>8848932
When I was a kid on the playgroud we didn't distinguish between Ash/Red and Gary/Blue, interesting that Nintendo Power didn't either. Maybe that's where we got it from

>>8851457
That's mum as in mother, this is mum as in silent

>>8854863
>mom's the word
Kek.

>>8848971
Oh you can keep em alright.
If you trade them all to someone else first. lol

>>8849014
This was my first issue of Nintendo Power, glad to see it again after so long

>>8854903
Oh, sure, you'll get that Mew back. Sucker!

>>8854832
The Pokemon fandom's insistence on Ash being a different entity than Red has always just been autism. He's obviously meant to be the character you play as in Red and Blue, even though they picked a different default name off the list than gen 2 did.

>>8855010
Technically, they were Satoshi (Tajiri) and Shigeru (Miyamoto).

>>8855010
Lol no

>>8855042
>Satoshi
>sAtoSHi

So that's why they went with Ash for the English? Never realized that.

>>8855929
>shiGERU
>GARY

>>8850556

This game looks interesting. I want to try it. Apparently it got a GBA sequel but only in Japan? Maybe I will buy that for my DS, which has sadly few games. Or maybe I will just emulate.

>>8850579

Got to catch them all

>>8850570
>>8850568
I like how none of those Pokemon were drawn for that ad, they just took stock images lol.

>>8850579
This looks like the kind of list I'd have made back in the day. When my dad rented The Blue Marlin for me one weekend I kept track of all the fish I caught and then typed them out on a typewriter and made it look all official.

>>8856153
Neat.

>>8855957
Garry Oak is also a type of tree, like Ash.

In Japan, one of Pokemon's things is that most of the important characters are named after plants, but in the older English games it's only really the professors and Ash (nowadays they do try to follow the plant naming scheme when they can).

Man growing up I always wanted to work at a gaming magazine. I kind of wish that was still a viable career.

>>8855010
There's a reason for a while "Red" was more derisively known as "Pixiv Red".

>>8850607
I never did this but it does sound fun
