Red’s meteoric rise to fame might have seemed much more amazing if 95% of his opponents had any common sense.

Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it!
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
Swearing would have made the first gen Pokemon so much better.
It's true. Most Pokes go ga-ga for the occasional Rare Candy.
Feelings?

You know who's got a lot of feelings?
How dare you wreck my childhood with logic!
Psh. So Pokemon are only good when they're evolved?
Tell that to Joey's Rattata.
his secret. its MOUNTANS!!!
specifically Mt.Silver… oh those slopes
Specially this guy.

I stumbled upon you in your natural habitat.
I got my Pokemon to beat the shit out of you.
I captured you, in a near-death condition, regardless of your family and friends.
I used you to fight Pokemon you didn't even know, and some perhaps you did.
I commanded you to fight, expecting quick and accurate results.
I even watched you die.
Multiple times.
But it's a good thing you love me!
Holy shit, I just realized. This is Stockholm Syndrome: The Game.
Common sense eh Red?
Does that mean he learned something at Pokemon School?
Or the F.E.A.R's we have around.
Relevant in some way but ill just slap it in here cause i got nothing.

kthxbye
Pokemon has taught us the truth about love and kindness.<img src="http://files.sharenator.com/pokmon_tough_love1_MOAR_Pokemans-s400x400-263888-580.jpg">
Folks that bludgeon their pokemon with gym badges.
Blokes what bludgeon their moms to death with a Gym Badge Case.
Professionals have Type Advantages.
He's such a nosy Charizard.
Wait, this coming from the guy who never evolved his Pikachu?
In Yellow Version you literally cannot evolve your Pikachu. If you wanted a Raichu you'd have to trade a Pikachu from Red or Blue to do so.
I always assumed since Yellow was the last game before G/S came out, that the designers were following that rule. Also considering Red's team is comprised of the three starters, a Snorlax, and a Lapras, I'm almost certain Red's team is supposed to be similar to what most children probably had in Yellow, since that was the only version where you could obtain all three starters.
I don't know… I think I'm going to stick with my 3 Geodudes.
A winning team isn't made from love, it's forged by fire.

Trainers have standards. Be polite, be efficient and plan to battle everyone you meet….or make eye contact with…
Use a bunch of different types of pokemon?
Don't you mean…use a bunch of psychic pokemon?
Source, plox?
As well, access to these Pokemon was incredibly likely, you would always have to fight a Snorlax, pass the guy with theLapras, and would likely notice the 3 people with the starters. The probable reason Red switched from Espeon to Lapras is that a) Hail without an Ice type, b) Eevee as a bit more off the beaten path than Lapras, who was nearly shoved in your face.
Use a whole bunch? Don't you mean get a pokemon with the ability levitate, only use dig and never use any other pokemon? I'm pretty sure that that's what he meant……
Noob charmander was better? hell no, I would trade three shiny suicunes for that shit. just look at him, he's so fucking awesome…
Where the hell did you get that?
You know, Red has a point. It's one thing to keep your pokemon in basic form to hold out for a move it learns earlier or solely in that form…
But some of those people are just doing it on PURPOSE!
Especially in G/S and HG/SS. There's like 2 dozen first stage pokemon across all of Johto, between all the trainers. Which sucks, because it made leveling a fuckin' chore since all the trainers gave shit experience with their basic mons.
I don't remember but it's fucking brilliant isn't it?
Okay I'm sick of wondering so I'm just going to ask regardless of the fact that I'll almost certainly get -1'd for it.
can somebody tell me a good website to post pictures on so I can put custom pictures in my comments? what the hell do you guys use?
Why in the world do i suddenly want to play Monster hunter….
Is it because that Pikachu is so Fucking huge?
Of all things in that picture, you think that Pikachu is fucking huge?
Well, as the Beatles would say, "All you need is proper EV training!"
What Red isn't realizing is that Lance does the exact opposite with his lvl 47 and 50 Dragonites
I use Photobucket, but I hardly upload crap there anyway.
Its funny because its true…
Kind of retarded. What if you're up against something else that uses levitate or is flying? Or if something's faster than you? Or survives the first hit?
Your strategy only works if all your opponents only know Earthquake.
Dam for the life of me I can't remember the name of the person interviewing him.
is that why he hangs out at Mountains? so he'll never see those high leveled first evolutions?
Indeed.
Don't be such a baby. Ribs grow back
<img src="http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/11/june/medic.jpg" height="200" width="400">
(No ze don't)
Uh duh.
Everything else is relatively to scale.
Charizard is about 3 times bigger than it would be normally.
Pikachu is almost 7 times bigger.
I've heard people say Pokemon is Darwin meets cockfighting but never once have I heard this. You sir deserve many +1s.
The sad thing is that guy DID have two Pidgey's.
And due to Pokemon's evolution method, that's also a more reliable depiction.
Yep, Red got his ideas right. You want to know why you don't love your pokemon?
<img src="http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/169/8/c/gardevoir__the_embrace_pokemon_by_rakkushi-d2srzlv.jpg">
That can't be right. Last time I checked, Larvitars, Sneasels, and lv. 50 Phanpys ruled that place.
To paraphrase the most esteemed drummer of Dethklok:
"Those are the most metal pokemon I've ever seen in my entire life."
Mary?
This, I found funny.
dat snorlax.
*Tails grow back. Fixed.
No, we're not talking about the child's card game.
I guess that the reason Alakazam has hyper-advanced intellect and yet is only able to remember four moves at a time is because the world of pokemon is also the world of clinical retardation?
Common sense and rational thought are superpowers there.
The Beatles are on the other side of the proper training debate, "All you need is Love!"
Brilliance is giving grass knot, ghost ball, thunderbolt and psychic to an Alakazam that has the highest IVs possible for that species and specc it into Spd. and Spec. Atk with a focus sash.
There are very very things that aren't blissey that will survive a single hit from him. With focus sash, there are very few things that can even take him down. Surviving the first hit is about all you'll do.
Oh? You're using a Tyranitar? Grass Knot! *dead*
Jimmy! Jimmy I saw you're eyes! Don't you walk away from me!
Aww, somebody didn't like my 'joke.' There's a pokemon card game too, which, now that I think about it, also got its own video game. A video game based off a card game based off a TV show based off a book. People will go to any length for profit.
(Also, that 'joke' I made before is because psychic types used to be kind of overpowered because they included ghost types, which had no weakness. EXPLAINING THE JOKE ( -_-))
I can't really draw (lack of self-confidence + time) so I use other people's pictures.
I'm sorry, but I never gave a radio interview. That me is obviously a spy!
*sends out (insert fire pokemon here), which roasts "Red" from the comic*
See, just watch; he'll turn into Gary any second now
We all realize this, no-one thought it was funny though.
It would have been funny if it had been properly delivered.
I really hate to re-use this rebuttal, but it's called for:
Good comedy is like midwifery. Your post was a joke in the same way that Edward Scissor-hands is qualified to perform a C-Section.
What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of my OP starter that I used to beat everything so it's 20 levels higher than the elite four by the time I get there.
Red don't you remember? You had a party at your mountain and then got drunk and made a clone of yourself to do all the interviews and first evolution trainer battles for you. So you just killed your clone. IT COST 300,000,000,000,000 POKEDOLLARS TO MAKE THAT CLONE!
and standing on mountains
or bottle caps!
What if that were shopped to be nurse joy?
That's just because the text box covers up the creepy part
What's this school of which you speak?
If I need any Help after a Hard Day's Night of training, I think I may just give Paul McCartney a call
<img src="http://1000thingstobegratefulfor.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/saanenmoser-view-of-mountain-slope-seen-from-slope-2006.jpg" alt="" />
Dat Slope
Oh yeah,
and it costs 400 000 pokedollars to interview that clone… for 12 seconds
I'll make that money back in no time!
Wait! Jimmy! Where are you going Jimmy?
HEY GET BACK HERE AND BATTLE ME NOW!
over your smugleaf?
Nah, mostly Golbats.. but they're a real pain in the neck too!
He can't battle, I just made all his pokemon "faint"
hehe, yah…… "faint"….. lets go with that…
don't worry dude, a quick polish will get the blood of Gardevoir's chest spike easily
oh ya…… you also might want to go to a hospital….. just a thought
What?!
You can't win with first level Pokemon you're attached to?
Seems like I need to teach this guy the power of friendship!
To Mt.Silver!
*And Immortal_Mook was never heard from again.*
It's been a hard day's night, I've been training a pokedog
It's been a hard day's night, snorlax is sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you, I find the badges so true
The make me feel alright
because of your comment, I just thought of what would happen if Alma played pokemon *shudder*
Be polite.
Be efficient.
Have a moveset to kill everyone you meet.
What? No, Oshawott all the way.
Although, you could say he was a bit smug afterwards.
….and your ego is 10 times bigger than it would normally be.
And by "normally", I mean "abnormally".
What really surprises me is that there are crazy dudes with level 20+ magikarps some a whole team full of them. And then there are others who managed to get pidgeots at level twenty-something before they evolve Then there's lance with his impossible dragonite but I forgive him because it's A MUTHA-%&*#ing DRAGONITE!!
See, look? It's Blue! Wait… nope, that's just blood.
Forgot the “Bad Grammer” tag.
yet he has the same pikachu since the 90s
….I can't believe it took me this long to see what you did there.
Chaaariiizaaaard.. Phoooone Hoooome…
