I usually pick Charmander and like Zorogami I also chose Squritle. Charmander is more of an attacker while Blastoise is defensive, so all depends what you like. I rarely pick grass starters though as I find them to weak to my attack needs.
So my question is: can a game freeze during a file save be a sign of a counterfeit version? Or can this also happen on legit versions, for some reason?
Things like this would never happen to an original cartridge. So unless it's damaged (which I'm sure it's not), I would call it fake. This is just an assumption, though. :P
1. As far as I'm aware, the Pokemon that the trainers use in the Trainer Tower will always remain the same, with the only changes being their levels (which depends on the levels of your own Pokemon).I've got 2 questions about fire red,
1) Do the pokemon on the trainer tower at the seventh island change after you battle them too many times?
2) When gary gets legendary pokemon in his party as the champion?

2. I'm guessing your asking when he gets them? If that's the case, Gary/your rival only changes his team once after he becomes the League Champion, but he never uses any legendary Pokemon in his party.
