Pokemon LeafNotes #01
Saturday / 09.11.04 / 02:17PM / Joe / all entries in Pokemon LeafNotes / comments: 50

My Pokemon LeafGreen adventure begins now, and this online diary will track my progress from neophyte to master.

Since LeafGreen (and its counterpart FireRed) are remakes of original Pokemon classics Blue and Red, it's back to the continent of Kanto, Professor Oak, and the original eight Gym Leaders. I named my character JoeLG, which was intended to stand for LeafGreen but now looks like JoeLarge. Bleah. How about JoeLegend? Yeah, let's go with that.

Since Oak can never recall the name of his own nephew - destined to be my greatest rival - I named him Liquid. I just finished Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, so the allusion amused me.

As expected, Liquid is a complete prick and wanted to battle as soon as Oak gifted us our starting pokemon. I chose Squirtle; he picked Bulbasaur. I won. Then it was off to wander through a couple of in-game tutorials about catching and status effects and such. Now I'm in Viridian Forest, which if I recall correctly, was just the place to catch native Pikachu.

First impressions: the cartridge is a very healthy glowing green color. The graphics are much the same as they looked in Ruby and Sapphire, with a couple effect tweaks... like a cooler Pokedex, and fullscreen splash screens upon entering a new area. One feature I really like is the flashback recap that occurs every time you load a saved game. You get a brief visual rundown of your latest accomplishments, which will be great if you pick the game up after an extended period of not-playing and have forgotten what you have to do next. The flashbacks are all black & white, and they even animate your actual actions, so it's just like watching yourself on a convenience store monitor. And yes, they're skippable, o impatient one.

My name is JoeLG from Pallet Town, and I will be the greatest pokemon trainer Kanto has ever seen.

Joe / 10.07.04 / 12:10AM /

Oooh, where did you find the pikachu? In Viridian Forest? I burned through so many metapods and such back there that I lost interest in searching for a pikachu.


Ruby / 10.08.04 / 10:31AM /

Joe, I did find my Pikachu in Viridian Forest. She was at level 3 when I found her. It was the first thing to pop up when I entered the forest.


Joshua Bell / 10.11.04 / 04:11PM /

Joe, allow me to give you a hint as to how to get to Saffron. Talk to everyone in Celadon to get the item to make those darn guards to let you through. And also the guards don't want vending drinks. Their are many surprises in store for you like one about Moltres...Good luck!


Ruby / 11.08.04 / 10:42AM /

I'm just leveling up to take on the Elite Four. I was at the Seafoam Islands on Saturday and caught a shiny Golbat. It's the first shiny I've ever seen in my games and I have been playing for five years! She's brown with bright pink wings and shoots out red sparkles when she emerges from her pokeball. Hey, doesn't take much to amuse me.


Kel / 11.09.04 / 02:12AM /

Hey, I've just beaten the Elite Four on my Fire Red, thanks to my Pokemon and alot of potions. I was wondering... does anyone know where to catch dittos??


R.F. / 11.09.04 / 05:17PM /

Has anybody heard of the Deoxys, I have. LeafGreen has the defense Deoxy, while FireRed gets the attack Deoxy. I hear you get it at one of the Sevil Islands , but[as always]you have to slove the puzzle first! Crap!!!


R.F. / 11.13.04 / 10:39PM /

Nevermind what I just said. You have to go to somthing called "Pokemon Rocks America" which is the most stupidest gimmic to get a pokemon, oh and pokemon ARENT REAL so I'll skip it, but I want to see WHO CAN EVEN GET A DEOXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Jeff Myers / 11.20.04 / 01:44PM /

my personal favorite type on all the pokemon is grass...hence...i used bulbasaur....in sapphire i used mudkip though..for he was 2 types ground and water..hence he was impenetrable to electric moves


Jeff Myers / 11.20.04 / 03:59PM /

Does LeafGreen have new pokemon or is it the same as the old ones?


jeff myers / 11.20.04 / 04:04PM /

sorry bout that.. mind screwed up lol when i meant pokemon i meant pokemon moves..


jeff myers / 11.20.04 / 07:58PM /

Joe,i really really liked that going on team rockets side idea,haha...i bet nintendos got 1,000's of those reccomended but havent accepted it for some darn stupid reason


Ruby / 12.09.04 / 02:34PM /

I caught another shiny! I now have a shiny Spearow. She's black with bright yellow wings. I named her Hawkeye, because I live in Iowa.


R.F. / 12.17.04 / 06:46PM /

There r some new moves in the game but not totally sure............


R.F. / 12.17.04 / 06:48PM /

Sorry, yes there r new moves for example on one of the sevil islands when u can teach your begining pokemon a special move!!!!!!!!!!


Daniel / 01.10.05 / 04:08PM /

Pichu676 / 06.13.05 / 08:46PM /

Hello, thought i could answer most of your questions people...
1: you get deoxys on the seventh island AFTER you beat the game, i beleive you have to have everyother pokemon besides deoxys to get it though...

2:"hi yall i need some help wit ma leafgreen i cant beat da elite 4 da first time i have a blastoise 65 + zapdos 51 + moltres 52 + articuno 50 + onix 46 + raichu 32 could u plz give me sum advice :S"

No offence but that team is weak, i had all my pokes at level 70 whenm i went in tro the league, and also WHATS UP WITH ALL THE LEGENDARYS???? thats cheap man, once again no offence, but honestly i suggest this team for beating the game...
Starter @lvl 55 (atleast)
ONE of the UBers(preferably Articuno for lance and agatha)
A strong fire type bout NOT an Uber....(rapidash or arcanine preferably)
and any other 3 of your choice, but PLZ keep the ubers low...

3: yes there are some ruby/sapphire games in FR/LG

4:LG/FR only have the old pokes from R/B/Y

why don;t u buy 1 off ebay?


Gigawolf1 / 10.07.05 / 12:44PM /

Couldn't you (for getting Kingdra) merely trade a Seadra from LG to Ruby?

It's too bad you don't have Ruby and Sapphire. Thanks to my Bro, I have all three Hoenn starters in my FR


jack / 10.27.05 / 01:54PM /

stupid bellend


jack / 10.27.05 / 01:56PM /

yourtoo old to be playing pokemon


Joe / 10.29.05 / 03:19PM /

Giga... even if you trade a Seadra from LG/FR to R/S (or vice versa) you still need a Dragon Scale to get it to evolve. I do have Sapphire and I was entirely ready to give up on getting a Kingdra after fishing for hours with no Dragon Scales. But, happily, there is an easily obtainable Dragon Scale in LG/FR, over in those new islands. So I traded that over to Sapphire.


jack / 12.31.05 / 07:13PM /

my team is charizard blastoise venesaur zapdos articuno and moltres


Joe Bae / 02.21.06 / 07:09PM /

Z3 / 09.11.06 / 11:18AM /

At toys 'R' us (Yes, i know you hate them) Nintendo are apparently giving away a free mew for every game you bring in, on the 30th of this month :D(Ruby/ sapphire/ emerald/ Firered/ Leafgreen)

As well all know, your Toys r us isn't very trustworthy, but they got the acww downloads right, why not the mew download?
