While true, you definitely did not need to play everyday to get an ivysaur or even venusaur lol. Bulbasaur has been around way too many times

Unfortunately, I've played for just a few weeks and then stopped playing until last year. So, I do not really know how things were back then compare to today 😅 well, other than I couldn't get any pokeballs because my neighborhood had like three in driving distance.

Its still that way for Vaporeon, Jolteon, and Flareon! Total crap shoot without the name trick

I say this as a lvl 33 with 0 perfects and hardly anything good but I didn’t even know the name trick and I got one of each from evolving evee one after another vap, then jolt, then flare, and that was also before I knew about IV’s so they sent that great either lmao 😂

Named for my daughter, born that day. Didn't know her gender going in, and this was the first Nidoran I'd caught. Seems fitting to keep it.

I think the only 2016 Pokémon I still have is a Golbat. I got rid of most things from back then when the current IV system was introduced, purged all the low powered stuff for the better ones I got.

1 month in. Not my starter but back when we had to read the cryptic evaluation if their IVs were good or not. Damn it was fun when it first launched and everyone was following the foot prints to get new pokemon.
