Caught a Shelmet just now since I guess I'll trade Shelmet for Karrablast so that they both can evolve.

Well, I can safely say that I'm addicted again. Received Crystal in the post today and have already put 3 hours into it.

Sweet ^ ;D
What's your team so far?
I really think, the haters, are the ones who weren't allowed it as a child, or got told it was "uncool". I bet the people who say it is "uncool" have never played it, therefore their opinion is invalid.
/rant
;D

Pretty much every single person in school had the cards, watched the TV show, played the games, etc. I've only got 18 Pokemon at the moment because there's not many to catch early on that I really need in my team. Croconaw, Pidgeotto, Onix, Sandshrew, Togepi and Magikarp (trying to evolve as quick as I can) are who I'm currently hauling around on my waist. I'll be happy once I come across Growlithe because Arcanine's my favourite.

They became too "cool" for it, and threw it away like it was nothing to them, which saddens me in a way, as I bet if they tried it now, they'd love it. And nice team, but yeah, evolve magikarp NOW Arcanine is epic, I agree. One of my favourite fires, along with Charizard, Magmar and Rapidash. Sure your fave is not vulpix

They "grew out of it" in primary? The boom years for us was years 7-8 in comprehensive (99-00). Died down shortly thereafter.
And not Vulpix, no.

I see now. The schools I went to (and will be the same for all of England) had Primary years 2-6 (with 1 being called reception) and Comp is years 7-11.
Keeping this on topic a bit more, Crystal arrived with a game saved on it already so I had a look at who the previous owner had. He had Mewtwo at lvl 91 and a few others like Suicune and Lugia. I always like to use wrestling names in Pokemon games so I called my player CM Punk and my rival's Cena (though he looks like Heath Slater.)

Don't hate on Vulpix/Ninetales! My favorite fire type pokemon but yeah it isn't the strongest. It is getting a lot of use now though with it's Drought DW ability so I'm sure Arcanine is a little jealous.

Nah, Silva. We weren't dissing Vulpix, it's a little side story Gavscsa told me involving it

Oh because Ninetales will curse your asses!
Didn't anyone see that episode in the anime where it cursed someone?

You really dont need to get a magicarp early on since later in the game you can get red Gyarados in the lake of rage at a nice level. Also in case you forgot Growlithe evolves with the fire stone

Also in case you forgot Growlithe evolves with the fire stone Interesting to know, thanks. Saves me from wasting time throwing Magikarp out there just to switch him for someone who can actually attack. I knew about the fire stone too. Been reading through my Gold/Silver guidebook from years ago to familiarise myself with the routes, pokemon and things. I know Crystal has updated variations on those two games, but it's largely similar.

Well any pokemon after the 1st generation could be shiny but it was likely the first anyone ever caught.

I once came across a shiny Onix. Don't remember what game (probably Gold) but that's the only one I do remember.
