POKéMON

Back to Shrines

I've been more or less playing Pokémon for the majority of my life. As a kid, I would borrow my (begrudging) older brother's DSi and play White 2 on his save file. As I got older, I did the same thing with one friend's numerous different Pokémon games, but it wasn't until I played Shield that I actually had my own save file. It's also, so far, the only Pokémon game I've ever beaten (though I have yet to play any of the post-game). I also adored the anime as a kid, and would watch it whenever it was on. (I also played a few games of TCG with that aforementioned friend.)

Recently, I got bit by the Pokébug and decided to pick up the games again. And, being who I am, I went all the way to the beginning; this page will detail my journey to beat (and perhaps even complete) Pokémon Red.

POKéDEX:

SEEN: 43

OWN: 20

I name every Pokémon I catch, so I will also add the name of the first Pokémon of each type to enter my dex, along with a short blurb about them.

Anything with '---' in the name slot is a Pokémon I have seen, but not caught. There are also some spacers I haven't seen either, to keep the placement consistent for future additions.
