Was their any REAL skill involved in collecting pokemon? or just training them?

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

You had to beat that first Pokemon ass to weaken it then catch it.

If you sneak up on a Pokemon and just throw a poke ball at it it would most likely escape and run away, or come for your ass

Sidenote: Unless somebody just gives you your first Pokemon, how do you catch the first one? Do you just fukk it up by hand and then catch it?

You were given your first pokemon by whatever authority ran the pokemon society. It was in the first episode


It's been years since I seen it, probably not since 1998 or 1997 but I remember Ash was given pikachu before he set out on his journey

You know damn well nikkas would be squaring up with Pokemon to catch they first one.

The Pokemon society would probably charge.

People would be like

"Why do I got to pay for some shyt that I can catch outside myself?"

The amount of underground Growlithe fights to the death

I wouldn't want to tempt greninja or dem legendary pokemon's



For me the challenge was collecting shinys, also you have to be very mindful of your pokemon's strength/type when catching other pokemon.


A master ball would end a pokemon career though
