Even Diehard Pokemon Fans Can't Tell Which Ones Are In The Original 151. Can You?

Pokemon is one of the most popular franchises in the world today, and it has been this way since it made its debut during the 90s. Many people at the time felt as though this franchise was going to come and go in no time at all, but 20 years later, people are still looking forward to the newest games and newest characters in the series. While it is a game that is made for kids, the kids that grew up playing it are still doing so as adults, and they have been around since the very beginning of it all.

There have been an incredible amount of characters that have been introduced over the years, but back when it was first launched, there were only 151. While this may seem like a small number now, back in the day, the thought of going around and catching all 151 was almost too much to handle for some people. Thankfully, most people had friends that played the game as well, and they would simply trade with them to speed things up.

Question 9

Is Slowking An Original Pokemon?

Slowking is the final piece of the evolutionary puzzle for another character, and as the name would apply, the process from initial to final is not a quick one. Once a trainer does get to this place, however, they soon learn that it was all worth it in the end. (Bulbapedia)

Pikachu is the most famous character in the history of the franchise, and as he gets stronger and the game goes on, he will have the chance to turn into a Raichu.

Question 15

Is Noctowl An Original Pokemon?

Question 16

Is Meganium An Original Pokemon?

Question 26

Is Flareon An Original Pokemon?

Flareon is the fire-type evolution for Eevee, so people that like to crank up the heat and get things going will want to get this guy in their lineup as soon as they can.

Question 27

Is Electabuzz An Original Pokemon?

Is Chansey An Original Pokemon?

Question 32

Is Bellsprout An Original Pokemon?

Bellsprout is not the biggest or the best character in the series, but it is one that many people catch because they can train it up to become something far more powerful and deserving of a spot in a lineup. It is relatively short and does not have a lot of mass to it either. (Bulbapedia)

Question 33

Is Ariados An Original Pokemon?

Many people would take one look at this character and simply turn the other way, and this is because it looks like it is far more trouble than it is worth. It evolves from another character, and it can be used to do some decent things, especially because it is a dual-type character. (Bulbapedia)

Question 34

Is Altaria An Original Pokemon?

This dual-type character is not the easiest one to get in the game, and some patience and cunning will be required to see it reach its final and most powerful form.

Question 35

Is Abra An Original Pokemon?

Abra is a smaller character that is far peskier than some of the other ones. Catching one of these little guys will not be easy, and training them can be rather difficult as well. However, once they finish evolving, they can help flip the script on any battle in the game. (Bulbapedia)
