First partner Pokémon: Difference between revisions

The {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto {{rt|1|Kanto}} that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival's {{p|Eevee}}, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival. During the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starter Pokémon through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunder Stone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunder Stone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, [[Sun and Moon Shards|Moon Shard]] and [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun Shard]], to make the Eevee evolve into any of its ([[Generation III|then]]) [[Eeveelution|evolutions]].
