Pokemon Farming: Charmander
June 29, 2007
Welcome to my first farming event: Charmander

First, I’d like to start with an introduction. Here, and elsewhere online, I tend to go by the name Robottnik. There’s a bit of a long story behind the name (it involves a senile gym teacher in high school who couldn’t remember anybody’s name), but in a nutshell I got the name from a very good friend who is a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. I’m a fan myself, but at heart I’ve always been, and always will be, a Nintendo fanboy.
I grew up with gaming, starting with the venerable Atari 2600 when I was but a wee lad, graduating to the original NES when it came out, and from there working my way up the generational ladder. I’m a huge RPG fan, which is how I got into Pokemon in the first place, but I’m also big into action and adventure games (Zelda, Metroid and such).
Like Whitdjinn, I hail from the Midwest, though I reside in Illinois, approximately 50 miles from Chicago. I don’t have a wife or anything and I am currently enrolled in school earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Game and Simulation Programming, which I am greatly looking forward to!
Enough of that. On to the main event
Today, I will be concluding the Kanto Starter trilogy by offering the Fire-type starter, Charmander. Among many people, myself included, Charmander is a staple, with powerful evolutions and a solid moveset. In my humble opinion, the only other Fire-type to come close to this powerhouse is the newest Fire-type starter, Chimchar.
I’ve participated in Steve’s farming events in the past, and I’ll be sticking with what works: after all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! You’ll need to make sure you’re in the WiFi room by 8:00 Eastern/7:00 Central time, ready to go with a Pokemon that you’re willing to trade. I’ll take anything, but I’m still working on my Pokedex, so any non-Sinnoh Pokemon will be happily accepted. For the time being, I’m not going to worry about any held items, though in the future I may start looking for berries that I’m missing. That’s an item for a different event, however. Today I’ll be keeping it simple.
What you need to do:
- Leave a comment below with your Trainer name and code.
- Be in the WiFi Union Room by 8:00 Eastern/7:00 Central time
- Be waiting in ‘Trade Mode’ (Invite –> Trade) so I can easily select you once I’m ready

hi..i actually have a charmander but i want to take advantage of asking you this question…is the purpose of farming only to give away starter pokemons?or is there a time that one day ya’ll would be giving away pokemons that are unobtainable without the the E/R/S/LG/FR cartridges?by the way..since i already have a charmander,can you give me a male vulpix?i mean if you can’t,that’s alright..i’ll wait for another time…

This would be so awesome! I’ve been trying for two weeks to migrate a Charmander from my “new” copy of Firered I got from eBay, but any time I play any other game but Firered, the Firered game gets erased. (Stupid eBay man ripped me off.) I really appreciate this!
The only non-Sinnoh pokemon I have at this time are a few trash pokemon my friend migrated for me from Sapphire (Zigzagoon, Taillow, Whismur, Makuhita, Skitty, and Aron), and the Gold/Silver starters that Steve gave out recently. And of course ones that you can get in Sinnoh after completing the Sinnoh pokedex. Do you have a preference out of those I named? Assuming they can breed. I would like to keep the ones I got from my friend, but I’d breed you what you wanted. I’m sorry I don’t have anything better to offer! Thanks so much for doing this.

Do you have any Squirtles, cause i missed them. Also someone should farm magbys or elekids because I want a Magmortar.
i would like to know when the gold and sliver starters are coming agian cause I would like to get them to do more for my pokedex.
So far ive seen 318 and obtined 218 and i would like to add to that.
I got the other 2, might as well complete the set.

a female vulpix would be alright..please give me one tonight…i’m really dying to have one…please!!!
i already posted my info if you need it
by the way..do you already have a castform?i got lots of em if you want one..
Jordan, I have a Cyndaquil and a Totodile I could farm for you if you get me a magby and a squirtle. I could also give you a charmander, if you give me time to breed them all. Just leave your friend information and I’ll give you mine.

Domo arigato Mr. Roboto.
Hrm… you know what we need, a lil site where we can register what pokes we can breed, what ones we’re looking for, and the time we’re available or contact infos. Does such a site already exist?
A forum? Cool!
By the way, I’m gonna be gone all next week. Is there any way that I can still get the trade opportunities I missed, or am I just plumb outta luck? =D
thanks
I’d like one if it’s not too late
Is it too late?

Thanks. I’ll be on the lookout for the next farming event.
do you still have one?
do you still have another charmander?
Thank you everyone for a great farming event! This was my first time, so I apologize for the few rough spots; I don’t know if it was Nintendo or my broadband or what, but all in all it was a success! Jess/Jordan, I apologize but the voice chat kept cutting out so I don’t know what you were trying to say. If you like, leave a message here and I’ll get back to you. In the meantime everyone, keep an eye on this site for future farming events! We’ll be doing farming a lot more than just on Mondays, so be sure to keep an eye here daily for new events and new information! Thank you all again!
Is there anymore left? I want one…
i have you on my friends list
