It was a one-shot manga by Hime no Kagemaru called “Popo Pigeon.”

The art style is cute, and it’s a great work that also serves as a good hint in the early stages of the game.

The first one is Pidgeot, and the second one is Articuno. Sounds good, right?

Whether good or bad, it makes it clear from the very beginning that it’s Pokémon 2.

At the time, I didn’t think much of it, but from my current perspective, even HGSS has rather cautious adjustments.

The new featured Pokémon only appears in Kanto.

A safari park that was cancelled.

It can be inferred that the development was in a terrible state.

Naiti’s hypnosis can be defeated by just closing your eyes!

Is YLNOZUKU too strong, after all?

Yorunozuku is strong as a first gym, but since Kasumi’s Starmie was using Bubble Beam with a power of 65, it might just barely be acceptable.

Looking back now, it’s only half that my trump card is a new Pokémon.

If anything, Noctowl has a lower attack base stat than Pidgeot, so it might be appreciated by Chikorita.

Heracross is rare in both the Hoenn Safari and the Sinnoh region…!

Matsuba also hasn’t improved the situation since Kikuko, where only the Ghost type is the Ghost family.

Since it’s the early game, special attacks are underwhelming, and flying types become physical at this time, it might be easier to use Noctowl, which is slower and has lower attack and defense than Pidgey.

The problem is the HP base stats, you know.

Pidgeot

Crobat

Ptera

Donkarasu

Nativeo

Common Swift

Even in BW2, where the team is quite perplexing, the same flying specialist, Nagi-san, is…

Altaria

Symboler

Gyarados

Air Mantle

Tropius

Donkarasu

It’s a situation where using the new Pokémon in Gymri has to wait until the third person, Miltank.

Akane’s impact is outstanding, including her strength.

It’s quite modest in hand even at PWT, isn’t it?

This one is too handsome.

“You’re probably thinking that a flying type can be taken down in one hit with an electric move, huh?” The technique being used while saying that is the gritty mud-splash.

Was it even possible to get an Electric type at this point?

To get Mareep, the path is blocked for some reason.

Nagi will start using Dragonite as soon as the enhanced version of Emerald is out.

The Matsuba’s Ghost type was really bad since Chiko not only has a Grass-type disadvantage but also can’t even hit with Normal-type moves.

I don’t understand why a flying user brings out Gyarados…

Rayquaza

Altaria

Tropius

I feel like this DL-exclusive Nagisa has already become a dragon user.

I had some impression of Air Balloon, but it was from Pokémon Adventures.

The problem of why flying-type Pokémon are surprisingly few.

Bring out Heracross, Tsukushi.

In Pokemas, Hayato is currently using Oo-subame, Pigeon, and Yorunozuku, while Tsukushi is using Spear and Korotokku.

(It may be mostly old Pokémon, but Chikorita is still a nightmare.)

I think it was in some anime where the voice actor was Ishida, but did you really have Pippi and Pigeon in your party?

Are you going to betray like CV Ishida as well?

Hayato

Tsukushi

Matsuba

Silence

You guys need to try a little harder.

In the anime, it seems that Pigeon was thought to be inadequate, so it used Pidgeot to have a decent battle against Charizard.

Hayato, who has started to use rest for level-up.

Tsukushi is imposing the brutality of base stats with Type Match, Baton Pass, and Technician’s Quick Attack.

Miltank is crushing ghosts until the end with Akane.

Thanks to Shadow Ball becoming a special move, Mutsuba’s damage output is just insane.

In the remake, the four characters at the beginning are quite strengthened… the Pokémon used haven’t changed, though.

Shijima is largely being made to clean up after Shiba.

Gengar isn’t that bad, right?

It feels like in my head, the thread image has Tsukushi using Ledyba and Heracross, while Matsuba is using Mismagius…

I remember using Frieza in some manga.

It’s mainly due to PokéSpecial.

In PokéMasters, Matsuba is completely a Fire-type Pokémon user…

Hayato is fine with Ho-ho.

Tsukushi can be fine with Ledian and Heracross.

Matsuba should be fine with Muuma.

Shijima is a capoeirista, right?

Shijima is better off because the character of the user, Alit Trainer, who uses Nyoro Bon, is more interesting.

Why is there no Nyorobon user in the original series?

Was that the end of the Golden Boys?

When it comes to bugs, there are really strong ones like Heracross, but also lower-tier ones like Ledyba, Meditite, and Yanma, yet no one really used them.

The problem of not having any Tyranitar users in gold and silver despite being so strongly supported.

In the first place, there are no opponents to use gold and silver Bangu, and there isn’t a good move, so it has a weak image.

The Hayatorasu boss is way too fast, isn’t it?

Is Jump getting canceled after ten weeks?

The champion of gold and silver should have been the dark-type master using Tyranitar instead of Wataru.

Sometimes, the anonymous user tells an astonishing lie that can be understood by just looking at Wikipedia.

Since we’re in the mountains, it would have been fine if Red had it in his hands.

First of all, you get Bangi too late…

Tsukushi was somehow strong in HGSS…

Tsukushi could have used Itomaru or Redian, or any number of options.

There are still no trainers who immediately come to mind when you think of Bangi.

In Pokémon Masters, Tyranitar is used by Brock.

Is SV the only one that can be used properly in the Bangi story? It’s mostly towards the end, right?

If I could have obtained Tyranitar and Houndoom earlier, I would have used them.

Looking again, it feels like the gold and silver production site was really chaotic… The anime on Orange Islands continues to be filled with emptiness.

Boss Godra is being used by Daigo, isn’t it?

The 600 family used to only appear at the endgame or after clearing the game, making it hard to encounter them before evolution, but recently they seem to have started appearing at more accessible points.

Why does Deruvil only appear in Kanto?

The alternative? Rockruff and Growlithe can’t evolve without going to Kanto.

In the early stages, it’s tough unless there are measures that particularly favor Steel types like Airmd.

HGSS’s Tsukushi Strike is strong, but since the exchange options for Dragonfly are Tranquil and Cocoon, it seems like the idea is to recover or set up moves there.

Since Strike itself is in the 500 category, it can be quite strong when fighting properly with the early lineup.

I remember that under the rule of only using fully evolved Level 5 Pokémon, it was treated as being on par with Mewtwo alongside Nyuura in terms of strength.

There are few options for fire… I’ve never thought about it since Pokémon is always fire.

It seems there was an intention not to easily let us use Delvil, as it is a main force of the enemy.

Even if they are somewhat late, I want to praise Kootasu and Bakuda for appearing at a timing that feels natural as fire types in the middle of the game.

The only one who uses Delvil is Apollo (the unnamed executive in the old version).

Magmar and Houndour show up without being fiery at all, despite the fact that they keep you waiting.

Even Pokémon appear in the grass, right?

In the place where Ghosts appear, you could encounter Mismagius at a low probability, right?

Well, I think there was an intention to maintain motivation up to Kanto with “Where will the new Pokémon appear?”

Is that really where Delibird is… such a strong feeling!

It’s interesting how the new Pokémon from Kanto are included in the “Johto Pokémon” framework in subsequent works.

It’s way too lame for someone who uses flying types to be doing something like muddying the ground.

When I think about it calmly, Delibird, Magby, and Murkrow are not Johto Pokémon…

Isn’t your Johto level a bit low?

In reality, it doesn’t work that well, but I couldn’t use Onix because I was worried about being hit at my weakness due to Mud-Slap…

In PokéSpecial, is it Skarmory?

The distribution setting of Magmuk on the cycling road is strange, isn’t it?

I found out that the leaders using new Pokémon are 4 from Johto and 4 from Kanto.

Even though they lost, there are often those who won’t honestly hand over the badge, like in Johto…

Gold and silver are too hard to come by.

It’s the kind of guy who spams mud-slinging, so of course he uses Air Mowd… That’s how I felt.

The level of the Sekiei League is low…

What does that mean, Wataru-san?
