In Pokemon Red Version, you are allowed to choose one out of the 3 starter Pokemon. Well, I chose Charmander but now I am confused as to how I can catch the other 2 starter Pokemon. Does anyone know how?

Back when I played it when I was little we used to do it by transferring from other Pokemon games – Cresh Nov 21 '12 at 17:51
Yeah but I don't have a cable -_- – JerryRox Nov 21 '12 at 17:55
You're going to have to have that to get the other two starters. – fbueckert Nov 21 '12 at 17:56
Aw man...................... – JerryRox Nov 21 '12 at 17:58
I re-tagged your question to conform to our standards; the pokemon tag is when you discuss the entire series, not a specific version, ala your shiny question. And it's redundant to have the game name in the title; the tag already does that. Please don't change it back. – fbueckert Nov 21 '12 at 18:00

if you want everything legitimately, you'll need to trade with someone else, it's plain and simple.

It's the same for several other pokemon, which aren't available in Red but are in Blue (or yellow).

Some pokemon also evolve only during trading.

This is to encourage people buying the other game as well (and another gameboy) this is called 1 game for the price of 2.

You don't have to trade, you can also use the Mew glitch. bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mew_glitch. See method #3 specifically. – Fambida Nov 21 '12 at 19:39

I believe the yellow version, you can get them all, you start with a pikachu, then through the game get given, win or find the other primary pokemon, charmander, squirtle and bulbasaur, that game was my favorite, but like others have said if you didnt want to buy a new game, yourll have to trade with other people, or between your devices with your other games.

unfortunatly in red and blue you only get that one you chose, it sucks

Hope this helps
