    Charizard is definitely a great final stage pokemon, it depends on the availability of what you're looking for later in the game too. An Arcanine is a good replacement for Charizard if you get a squirtle or bulbasaur.

    Bulbasaur - my first ever save.

    He's the most fun starter. You get to have fun leech seeding and poisoning or paralyzing!

    Definately Bulbasaur because it is good against ground and water types and ultra effective against rock types when it learns vine whip. i think it learns it at level 13.

    Squirtle. He is like, the easiest to start with

    Actually Squirtle is the medium difficulty. What I like about pokemon games is they choose the difficulty in which starters you choose. Since Bulbasaur is a grass type it can defeat Brock and Misty very easily. Plus when you are facing Surge he can't get a super effective on you. So Bulbasaur is the easiest to start with

    Squirtle however can defeat Brock but Misty is the exact same type. So there are no good bonuses there. Plus Surge can kill it in like 1 hit

    Charmander is very hard to beat Brock and Misty with. So he is the hardest

    If you have trouble beating the gym leaders you fail :/ Unless you go at them with incredibly low-level pokemon with terrible disadvantages, but that isn't so smart. You are correct, though. Just pick the one that will do best on your team for competitive battling...if you aren't doing that, just pick your favorite, which is either blastoise or chari, though I like 'em all.

    If you want to pick Squirtle here is a good thing to do.

    I remember when I pick squirtle,After I beat Brock and Misty I go to battle everyone on the S.S Anne and I go to train in Diglett cave. I do this and normally by then I have a Blastoise lvl 38 or 39 and I have a ground move or another move other than water and I pretty much have my game started the way I want it.

    I actually picked all of them, I was still new to Pokemon and was having a tough time with Brock and Misty with Charmander as my starter and then I just decided to play the game over with each new starter, In the end, it was Bulbasaur.

    Definitely Squirtle and Bulbasaur. <3 Though I'm a fan of Charmander. However, I feel most of the starters are slightly overrated. =/
