I’ve never used one though

>>58118017 (OP)
is this the thread for pokemon that just exist to be encounter fodder and not to be caught?

>he never completed GSC or HGSS with a Furret
You didn't beat the game

>>58118017 (OP)
I don't think I ever used Geodude. It's slow and Water types are pretty common.
In casual playthroughs, for my team I usually pick other Ground types, and Rock is a type I almost never use (with the exception of Archeops).

yeah i'm thinking based

>>58118039

Geodude for life

The Normal resist goes underappreciated especially in Rom Hacks and Fangames, I luv my rocks

imagine if Golem got a mega, haha-

Imagine if it was a built in Shell Smash

literally never happened

>>58118355
imagine not using rockman (not to be confused with Mega Man) to clobber most of Johto

>>58118043
You mean ledian

>>58118832
This also

He's surprisingly good in game even though a lot of people write him off.

>>58118017 (OP)
>And in so doing renders you too late to bother with
Indeed Geodude is a great example of a vulnerable Pokemon getting a lot more mileage simply for being able to predict (or know, if playing shift) what your opponent will use next. I think I only used it on my first Johto run but I also remember it being good.

>>58118017 (OP)
I never used it as a kid I thought it was weird he didn't have legs. It's why I didn't play Rayman

>>58118017 (OP)
This thing is so good in every game its in but will perpetually be overlooked because of its status as a foddermon, it's pretty interesting honestly. I wonder if they'll ever make an early game rock/ground people actually want to keep. Garganacl I suppose.

>>58118017 (OP)
I remember wasting my fire blast tm on one when I played yellow version. Should have gave it to something better like Charizard, Nidoking, Arcanine, Slowbro, Muk, Rhydon, Gyarados, Snorlax, Dragonite or Mewtwo. I don't hate the Geodude line. I just wish I could have gotten Golem without trading.

>>58120433
why does it even learn that
nothing about it is fire related
and its special stat is too ass to get any use out of it

>>58120414
The problem is being a trade evolution.
I like graveler because I didn't know it evolved when I was a kid.

I never bothered to use non trade evos other than Kingdra(traded seadra with a cousin that had a power guide and told me about it), Boldore and Gurdur from that point onwards. I'm so fucking grateful you can find wild Steelix in some games.

Trade evolutions just kill any interest.
To add to this as son as my pet rock evolved into garganacl I boxed it, what an atrocious design.

>>58118017 (OP)
holy fucking shit PLEASE just hit a rock throw it's not that hard

>>58120901
>Gen 1 Rock Throw
not happening, chief

>>58118017 (OP)
Is Ekans MVP material?

>>58120440
Gen 1 movesets are wild

>>58120440
My explanation as a kid was that it could explode, therefore it was capable of creating fire.

>>58120440
Gen 1 follows to design philosophy that these are monster particularly these are mini kaijus. If you go watch some old godzilla movies you'll notice a of his foes can shoot some sort of blast somehow even if it doesn't seem related to them at all
