History Funny / PokemonRedAndBlue

** "Truly, this is a fantastic feat! Wroooooooaaaaaarrrr! Thank you, [[HelloInsertNameHere Player]]!

* Since [[VideoGameRemake FireRed and LeafGreen are remakes of Gen 1, with mostly the same Pokémon]], if you attempt to evolve Golbat or Chansey [[TrueCompanions into Crobat or Blissey]] [[SequenceBreaking before obtaining the National Pokédex]], the evolution will suddenly cease [[LampshadeHanging with a humorous reaction to the occasion afterwards.]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment This never occurs in any other remake,]] but it is hilarious when it occurs, even moreso when it happens to people who played through Ruby and Sapphire expecting a Crobat.

* We all know about the grumpy old man in Viridian City who won't let you pass until he's had his coffee, and we all know that in the original Japanese, the man is actually drunk as a skunk. What usually isn't noted is in the original Japanese the drunk man is actually still very polite and ''insists'' on helping you. It's this drunken friendly demeanor that is the reason Red flees.
-->'''Old Man:''' Uugh...! ''(hiccups)'' Hold it right there! Lissen to what I hafta say!\\
''[Red starts to turn back]''\\
'''Old Man:''' ...Hey! Don' go, I said!\\
''[talking to his granddaughter while he's lying there]''\\
'''Old Man's granddaughter:;''''' Good grief, Grandpa! Sleeping ''here'' of all places! ''[to Red]'' It can't be helped. We have to wait until he sobers up...

* On Route 12 (south of Lavender Town), one of the Fishermen says before battle "The FISHING FOOL vs. POKéMON KID!"

** Even a girl in B2/W2 who says that her dress is comfy and easy to wear.
* The Rocket who asks you if you'd like to join the team. "We're a group dedicated to evil using Pokemon!"

* The fact that you can [[HelloInsertNameHere name your rival]] [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential whatever you want]]...[[http://i781.photobucket.com/albums/yy93/GameSultan/Random/Funny/1267454490833.png the]] [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=1 poor]] [[UnfortunateName guy]].
--> That's right! I remember now! His name is Asshat!
** Pokemon are not immune to this either. Come on, how many of us are guilty of doing something like [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=10 this]]...and [[MemeticMutation especially]] [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=27 this]], getting a chuckle and snicker every single time?
** The fact that he forgot his grandson's name.

--> [[HelloInsertNameHere Player]] paid an outrageous ₱500 and bought the Magikarp...

--> ''They offer rare Pokémon that can be exchanged for your coins. But, I just can't seem to win!''
* The remakes add a phone to the Rocket HQ. If you examine it, the game says "It's a phone. Better not use it."

* Due to a quirk in his AI, Blaine (who's supposed to be the second-to-last Gym Leader) will sometimes use Super Potions... on full-health Pokemon. ArtificialStupidity doesn't end there: "good AI" trainers will always use Super Effective moves in battle, regardless of if those moves actually do damage or not. It's possible to render trainers like Lance useless by sending a Fighting or Poison type against them, forcing them to spam Agility and Barrier.

'''Her brother''': My sis brought me on this vacation!\\
'''Her boyfriend''': Why did she bring her brother?

* Fixed in the remakes, but the game plays up the mystery of who the final Gym Leader is. Even your coach in the Gym doesn’t know. What’s on the statue right next to him, even before you beat the Gym Leader? [[spoiler: Leader: Giovanni]], of course! [[SarcasmMode Yeah, real great mystery there.]]

** Due to this AI combined with another glitch in the way stat changes due to burn/paralyze work, TwitchPlaysPokemon actually beat Misty's Starmie with ''a Kakuna and a Magikarp'' after burning it with their Charizard. For some reason, the halving of Attack due to burn is reapplied each time a stat change is made on the turn of the opponent of the burned Pokémon; e.g., when Kakuna used Harden. This meant that by the time Magikarp was sent out, Starmie's physical attacks could do next to nothing. But because Magikarp was a Water-type and this resistant to other Water-type attacks, she opted for Tackle over Bubblebeam despite Bubblebeam being the superior choice even under normal circumstances[[note]]Bubblebeam's base power is nearly twice Tackle's and Starmie gets STAB on it, making it more than twice as powerful even without taking into account that Starmie's a better special attacker than physical attacker[[/note]] and succumbed to burn damage before it could finish off the Magikarp.

* Pitting a Weedle against another Weedle. Just watch them use Poison Sting against each other until one of them faints... a glitch in this game will always falsely identify their attacks as "super effective" due to the way dual typing works. MundaneMadeAwesome, anyone?
