I started with Red. He's right. I remember Fearow less than both Tangla and Seel. Dewgong is noteworthy because of Lorelei and Tangla is because of Erika. You run into Pidgey more often than Spearow and you probably traded your Spearow for Farfetch'd. Fearow is less generic looking and the cooler of the 2 basic birds, but I almost always have Pidgey.
Dark of they wanna go obvious about it. But honestly Fearow is pretty abstract so they can do whatever they want. I like like the idea of an Electric Fearow. Like it would be dark like a storm cloud and have "angry thunder god" energy like Zebstrika has
But Fearow shouldn't get a regional unless Pigeot also does, and their design/Types should be thematically related to each other somehow. They're a duo.
Game Freak doesn;t really treat them as a duo, they don't have the same number of evolution stages, they've never been version exclusives, we didn't get a Pidgey named Ghana in Gen 2, We didn't get a Mega Fearow in Gen 6. The only thing they hace in common is typing and being Gen 1. IF anything Fearow had more in common with Dodrio.
they treat duos differently all the time. Pidgeot got a mega and fearow didn't. Beedrill got a mega and butterfree didn't. pidgeot and fearow are arguably not even a duo; they've never been shown as a pair. Just two different earlygame bird choices.
Ground/Flying. Have it be a Fearow variant that's adapted to using its beak to drill into rock, and now burrows underground. Its wings are smaller and so it can't fly, but it can use them to make powerful jumps over long distances, which it also uses to lunge at prey. Competes with Excadrill for living space, preys on Trapinch.
saying anything from the original 151 is forgettable is a bit pointless when people are way more likely to recognise even the forgettable ones over 100's of newer ones.
What do you all think IS the most forgettable 1st gen?
Fearow might be up there. My instinct is Venomoth, but ace of Koga and part of that stupid "What if Butterfree and Venomoth switched places" might make it come up. Lickitung is up there, but might be remembered for having the best Pokemon Stadium minigame.
If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with Seaking, but even that Im not super confident in.
Seel and Dewgong take the cake and I don't even think it's close. Other runner ups include Lickitung and Horsea/Seadra but they both have cross-evos. Drowzee and Hypno are also up there imo but
I've taken that sporcle quiz where you name every gen 1 pokemon and this motherfricker is the only one I forgot, along with tangela. Besides the stadium minigame and jessie in the anime, who actually remembers this thing?
Me, because it's one of the gen 1s that got an evolution in gen 4. I associate Lickitung, Tangela, Magmar, Electabuzz, Porygon, and Rhydon all together. Jynx too, though it didn't get an evolution like the others.
My vote goes to Drowzee. Everyone remembers Hypno as a memetic molester, but nobody remembers Drowzee.

Funny enough l forget about the evo too. Those guys just don't stick.
Really, Fearow's in a pretty good spot in its debut game. You get Spearow early, it gets the two good Flying attacks relatively fast, it has reasonably high attack unlike the Pidgey line or Farfetch'd, and you can trade up to Zapdos once you get access to the Power Plant or Doduo/Dodrio otherwise without skipping a beat. KENYA in 2 also puts in good work.
I will always remember and hate Fearow because of my most recent run of Blue Rescue Team. There's a bunch of them on the peak of Mt. Blaze and they can OHKO you with a multi-hit attack if you're unlucky, I had that happen to me a ton.
It's Seel and Dewgong. The only reason why people remember them was because TPC dropped a Galar short with Nessa, and there was Dewgong in the background despite being one of the Pokemon culled from the pokedex. They apologized for it.
Seaking is a runner up with Goldeen by proxy because of memes and Smash Bros.
>I have never heard of the first episode of the anime
Even if you never watched the anime, you would definitely know about how a flock of Spearow attacked Ash and Pikachu which helped ignite their friendship
This is exactly why it's a persona non grata in the franchise, anything that opposes ash and Pikachu are treated like shit, see team rocket pokemon not being catchable in yellow for example
I always imagined walking through a forest naked and grabbing into a Spearow’s legs while it tries to fly away, pecking at me and doing whatever it can but I’m on sort type of drugs that make me really strong and horny
The single most forgettable Gen1 Pokemon? Jynx. They haven't done anything with it other than giving it new moves. Not a single evolution, regional form etc.
Nah. Jynx will always have the racist thing from when it first game out and the lips things. That and every generation has an anthro coombait mon and gen 1's is Jynx.
I will always remember Fearow because it's the bird that gets Drill Run.
always use her as my bird in kanto and johto games
I started with Emerald and then sunk much time in multiple playthroughs of the Gen I and II games immediately after. Suck my dick
Fearow is more forgettable than the likes of Dewgong, and Tangela for frick sake
>I started with Emerald
Not much better, you still haven't been here from the beginning

What type would a regional form be?

Liligant has a regional variant and whimsicott doesnt

That's just Zapdos.

This, Ground/Flying, maybe a unique flying move that sets sandstorm? Also Sand Veil lmao
Water/Flying, make it a heron
No regional needed.
Fearow has a BST of 442.
An evolution has a potential of using 58 points to get him to a 500 BST without being out of line.
Special method is a new move that needs to crit enough times in a single battle to evolve.
Flying Drill 90Bp 100Acc consecutive hits raise users Atk, Speed or Crit rate at random.
+8Hp/+35Atk/+5Def/SpD/Speed
Type changes to Ground/Flying
Keen eye becomes Super Luck
cringiest idea ever
Ground/Dragon
Ground/Flying, replaces Sniper with Super Luck
Fire/Flying
It will be a legendary, rainbow-shitting, life-giving phoenix to offset the obvious dark nature of the Kanto variant.
saying anything from the original 151 is forgettable is a bit pointless when people are way more likely to recognise even the forgettable ones over 100's of newer ones.
Fearow is a fricking beast in Stadium 2. Easily a top 3 rental.
have a nice day
>forgettable
How do you forget the Pokemon you used your Master Ball on per professor's guidance?
What do you all think IS the most forgettable 1st gen?
Fearow might be up there. My instinct is Venomoth, but ace of Koga and part of that stupid "What if Butterfree and Venomoth switched places" might make it come up. Lickitung is up there, but might be remembered for having the best Pokemon Stadium minigame.
If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with Seaking, but even that Im not super confident in.
Seaking is only “memorable” because of a lame, old meme
gotta be either Tangela or Goldeen
It's Dewgong.
Seel and Dewgong take the cake and I don't even think it's close. Other runner ups include Lickitung and Horsea/Seadra but they both have cross-evos. Drowzee and Hypno are also up there imo but
Seaking has TWO memes associated with it. Not forgettable.
Tangela got an evolution in gen 4, so it's not really forgettable. Goldeen is the pre-evolution of Seaking, so somewhat associated together.
Dewgong is remembered as the most forgettable gen 1 Pokemon, so it ironically loses this status.

seaking is my dive/waterfall pokemon in gen 3 most of the time
I don't really know why
Seaking would be cool with a majestic dragon evolution
Krabby line. Got completely replaced by Corphish.
If any of the anime protagonists and Team Rocket had that specific pokemon, it's not gonna be forgotten.
>Lickitung
He looks cute as hell and is a dope-ass lizard and then they made the monstrosity known as lickilicky and I never used him again
Pinsir
There is not a single forgettable Gen 1 mon
it's graveler
"Forgettable" enough for you to make this thread.
>t. Pidgeot
I will always remember it as gen1's second best normal/flying type put of 4

I always use it in Blue. Why? Because I don’t like the wig of the other bird and also 3 headed fricker is caught later
In Gen 7 they come out of the shaking trees and are aggressive as frick.
I will always remember and hate Fearow because of my most recent run of Blue Rescue Team. There's a bunch of them on the peak of Mt. Blaze and they can OHKO you with a multi-hit attack if you're unlucky, I had that happen to me a ton.
Wrong, it's Stadium 2's MVP
Only because it's brethren antagonizes Ash and Pikachu
It would be cool with a prehistoric evolution via ancient force
Rent free
And not even logical, anyone who started with DPPt would remember this mon from the post game
It's Seel and Dewgong. The only reason why people remember them was because TPC dropped a Galar short with Nessa, and there was Dewgong in the background despite being one of the Pokemon culled from the pokedex. They apologized for it.

YOU FRICKING TAKE CUBONE/MAROWAK BACK
spearow and fearow are forgettable route fodder in kanto. cope harder

It was better than Pidgeot and easier to get.
I dislike how plain and nondescript Fearow is when the prevo is legit a really striking and cool design
I always imagined walking through a forest naked and grabbing into a Spearow’s legs while it tries to fly away, pecking at me and doing whatever it can but I’m on sort type of drugs that make me really strong and horny

They got to be in the opening of sun and moon bullying nebby
He's the original b-side regional bird. What's there to remember?

Nah. Jynx will always have the racist thing from when it first game out and the lips things. That and every generation has an anthro coombait mon and gen 1's is Jynx.
Pidgeot is lucky for the Anime cause in game it was trash. Fearow isn't bad but Dodrio is just much better.
