Thread: Flash

Eh. Grab a junk Pokémon, throw Flash on it and only use it when clearing those caves. After you've gotten everything in the caves that actually need flash, you never need to so much as look at them again (except Mt. Silver in GSC, but there are guides to get you through the black room without it).

Urgh, Flash = WORST MOVE EVER. I always taught it to some HM slave :P

i never actualy played the Gen 1 games.

Gen 2 was my first gen, and there's two caves you needed flash for in gen 2, the remakes had three, but in GSC, there was Dark Cave, witch was pretty much moot after you got fly, and mnt.silver.

so i just huffed it through the mountain on my own. witch made it all the more awsome when i found some epic strong trainer there.

I think I just tossed Flash on some crap pokémon that I later tossed in the box and forgot about.

LOL, everyones saying the same thing. Just toss Flash onto a HM slave then throw it in the box when you're done. The only time where I think Flash was absolutely neccesary was Dark Cave. Even then, after I got through it I never went back, so I probably missed a lot of stuff.

Strategy guide. I didn't need flash in the original games
In later ones, it was harder to count steps and stuff through the darkness and wild fights, so I did use Flash.

This is actually really clever... especially considering there are loads of Zubats who would gladly use Poison Sting

Flash?
I played Red/Yellow and Blue loads of times, I know where to go once I'm at Rock Tunnel, I don't need flash hahahh!

(( Whoo 100th post :D ))

I always used the "useless" HMs on my main team. D: I used Flash to get by caves, I hated mucking about in darkness, the idea scared me.

I just catch a random Pokemon that learns Flash, have it on my team while I go through the cave, and then deposit it again, that's very simple.

I usually only use one move on each pokemon so I have 3 blank move slots for flash

I always teach flash to pikachu who is on my team. It can be very useful in that it lowers accuracy, especially when catching legendaries (though its accuracy isn't the best).

I only ever used Flash once. I'll memorize every step of the cave before I have to use that useless TM.

I'm glad they finally demoted it to a TM in Gen IV. I just stumbled around in Wayward Cave and Mistralton Cave, although it was pretty easy because I could see my immediate surroundings.
