Pokemon Farming: Charmander

June 29, 2007

Welcome to my first farming event: Charmander
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

My Information:

Trainer name: Bott
Friend Code: 2320 2629 3165

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

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.

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

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!
