pokemon yellow, day 1: pallet town-pewter city
oh yeah, it's that time again!
what up gay nerds!!
so, yeah, we're on to pokemon yellow! despite fully admitting that the little guy is cute as heck, i've really never been the biggest pikachu fan? i think that's probably inevitable when something becomes the mascot for a franchise whose strength is having literally hundreds of different little dudes that everyone's obviously gonna have different levels of attachment to, but yeah. i really think eevee woulda been a better mascot for the franchise & i will die mad about it! (not really. i'm joking. this is a baby franchise for babies. i'm not allowed to actually be mad about it.)
so, yeah! needless to say being locked into having pikachu as your starter & constant companion and not even being able to evolve him into the objectively superior raichu (i'm kidding, i just love me some raichu) made this not really super my favorite pokemon game! but it does have enhanced graphics including new sprites for the pokemon and some of the characters, plus a few minor additions in dialogue & gameplay to make it resemble the (at the time) wildly-popular anime, including my beloved jessie & james!!!
so, yeah! you're locked into pikachu as your starter. i named mine "chu chu" to be cute. and then, like in red & blue, you can catch your usual rattatas & pidgeys of the world once you have pokeballs. i named rattata "kug" (after a character in dimension 20: the unsleeping city) and pidgey "bird" (because i thought it was funny, yeah, i'm dumb.).
also, you can totally call me a cheater if you want to for this if you want, but since the legit mew i caught in red & traded over to blue for my dex was at a low level (level 7 is always the level you encounter using the glitch i linked to in my last pokemon blue post), i went ahead and traded that mew (nicknamed omega) over to be one of my starting pokemon too. when i played blue back in the day i always used gameshark to get mew and always had one on my elite four team, so i figured i might as well continue that tradition in at least one of my gen 1 playthroughs. shrugs!
i caught everything i could in the vicinity of viridian city
(nicknamed punchy)
(nicknamed tomboy)
(nicknamed boywife)
(nicknamed angy bird)
and made short work of all the bug catchers in viridian forest, and caught the one new pokemon i could there
(nicknamed flick, after the animal crossing character. no weedle in yellow for some reason, idk why! i'll have to send one over from blue.)
and finally, i finished off this first stretch of game by beating brock for my first gym badge! he gets a fancy new sprite that matches his anime model a bit better, plus some dialogue that references his characterization in the anime, as well as alluding to the many possible, varied ways to be a pokemon trainer.
and that's all for now! i know my pokemon yellow updates are gonna be way more dex-heavy, so it's a good thing they wrote new dex entries for yellow! i hope y'all aren't gonna get bored since there'll be a lot of retreading here, but yeah, thanks for sticking around! catch ya next time, gay nerds!

Facts about the Nidoran♂ Family
I’ve got my Pokemon Scarlet/Violet bundle coming in the mail today so I don’t know if these posts will continue to be daily.
1. Nidoran♂ and his female counterpart were the only mentions of gender in Generation I
Pokemon with gender differences were not introduced until Generation IV and the concept of gender was not introduced until Generation II. As such, the Nidoran families were the only mention of gender in Generation I, and both Nidoran species remain separate.
2. Nidoran♂ can still produce female Nidoran eggs
As mentioned in the previous post, female Nidoran can produce male Nidoran eggs. When bred with a Ditto, Nidoran♂ can also produce female Nidoran eggs. This is also the same for Nidorino and Nidoking, as they do not lose the ability to breed as their female counterparts do.
3. Nidorino is one of the first Pokemon ever seen
It’s a classic opening of the OG Pokemon games, Nidorino vs. Gengar. Later versions do replace Nidorino with Gengar, but the remakes use Nidorino. The anime also starts out with the same duo in a Game Boy fight before going to a live fight in a stadium that Ash was watching.
4. Nidoran♂ and his evolutions draw inspirations from hyraxes
While Nidoran♂ and his evolutions draw inspiration from porcupines, rabbits, hamsters, and mice, they most closely resemble hyraxes. Hyraxes are small rodent-like mammals that are closely related to larger mammals such as elephants and manatees, which may reference Nidoran♂‘s evolutions being based on rhinoceroses.
5. Nidorino and Nidoking retain their ability to breed
While Nidorina and Nidoqueen cannot breed, Nidorino and Nidoking are still able to. This allows Nidorino and Nidoking to produce eggs containing female Nidoran when bred with Ditto.
6. Nidoking is a popular Pokemon for rivals in the anime
Gary and Paul were two of Ash’s most prominent rivals and had Nidokings.

#0032: Nidoran♂
Nidoran♂ is a rodent-like Pokemon that is mostly light purple. It has spines on its back, a horn on its head, and spiny ears with teal insides. It also has darker purple patches on its body. Additionally, it has white claws and teeth, and red eyes. Nidoran♂'s design is much cooler than Nidoran♀'s, in my opinion. I like how spiky it is. Its palette is also more to my liking, as I really like the color purple.
Shiny Nidoran♂ is mostly light blue, which makes it look like its female counterpart. Also, the insides of its ears turn brown. I do feel like the blue colors fit Nidoran♂'s design more than Nidoran♀'s, so that gives it a few points, but again, I really like the concept of making this shiny look like Nidoran♀.
(Also I'm sorry that this description and Nidoran♀'s are practically the same, they are extremely similar)
8/10
