No, I am American. -.-
I won't take offense with the weird comment, because it is pretty weird.
As for specific, just go with the pokemon from Route 2. I don't mean to be nosy, but Vulpix is indeed a Route 2 pokemon. I saw where you were talking to gimmiepie, and his/her character was in Route 2 when they caught it. You could progress to Route 2, but not go past it. I (think) he/she went into Route 2 to catch it, but never past it. Everything is fine, I would just stick to the Route 2 specific pokemon to aid us in battle.
I myself have my eyes on a Vulpix. ^^
Aquali- Not actually French for water as I thought, but a cool watery word nonetheless. ^^
Umiko- Japanese for child of the sea
