Which FR-LG starter?
 
Which one? I say Bulbasaur.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ November 18th, 2007 7:14 AM

I've always started out with Bulbsaur in LG and Charmander in FR

i would have gone for charmander but i started the game again a few weeks ago and picked squirtle and don't regret it at all she's great (my squirtle is a girl nicknamed misty)

Competitively, Blastoise makes a nice spinner and tank but is more in the UU tier. It's a fine UUer if you prefer to go that route.

Charizard is a decent sweeper that does pretty well in OUs, but nothing amazing by any means.

Venusaur is my favorite battle-wise, as leech seed is tough to deal with and it's pretty bulky.

I've always favoured Charmander.

If you want a pokemon who can learn Fly and Fire Blast, pick Charmander for its 3rd evolution.If you want a pokemon who can learn surf, pick Squirtle.If you want a pokemon who can learn Solarbeam, pick Bulbasaur.I picked Charmander and I have a lv.73 Charizard that knows Fly, Flamethrower, Mega Kick , and Mega Punch.

STEELIXMANIAC November 18th, 2007 8:38 PM

Bulbasaur. I've always found Charmander totally overrated. >_>

Scorp Con November 18th, 2007 9:15 PM

CHarmander, because of Charizard :>

~Rene~ November 19th, 2007 1:40 AM

I think is Charmander. Because I choose him as my starter Pokemon in FireRed.

Ayano Katagiri November 19th, 2007 1:44 AM

I've used all three in the games. Ingame, Squirtle is by far the best option IMO for many reason. But having Charmander turn into Charizard later in the game is also pretty awesome.

Daisuke33 November 19th, 2007 9:52 AM

I never got LG but I have FR and I always prefered Charmander. Charmander is one of the best starter Fire types next to my Ultra favorite Cyndaquil, and Chimchar. With Charmander I don't need to catch the same old kanto flying types since his final evolution Charizard can fly. So I can add a powerful to the team like Nidoking, or Snorlax. Charmander is cute, and yet he's so powerful, perfect offensive pokemon for my team. The other two starters are ok, but Charmander is a versitle type Fire/flying, good mix.

Kitori_theTeamAquaSuicune November 19th, 2007 12:58 PM

I usually pick Charmander. Why?
A.) Where there are Charmanders, there are Suicunes. =3
B.) It's my Birthday Pokemon. (October 4th )
C.) I liek the Fire type. (FIYAH FIYAH!! 8D)

TheSilverVersion November 19th, 2007 5:45 PM

Charmander. I always used Squirtle, back in the R/B days, but Charizard just seems more appealing to me now.

Milke November 19th, 2007 6:12 PM

Okay. I asked this question and did this poll to see how many of you knew which was best. I think many of the best people here(not saying that I'm one) would agree with me that bulbasuar is the best, and squirtle is the worst. Charizard is good, but Venusaur rocks his socks.

Gamewhale November 21st, 2007 12:32 AM

Bulbasaur, simply because I always use him.

Autaven November 22nd, 2007 3:22 AM

I choose Charmander, because I think it's the cutest. And because I prefer Charizard to the others last evolution. Also because Suicune is quite nice.

Virtual Chatot November 22nd, 2007 7:20 AM

Charmander, I always pick Charmander...

ItzMike November 22nd, 2007 9:29 AM

Um, not really. Venusaur is annoying with its subseeding power and whatnot, but it's prettuy easy to counter and isn't a real threat in OUs :/

Blastoise is one of the UUers that actually CAN survive in the OU tier, and tank/wall/spin stuff very effectively. It also has a tremendous movepool.

Charizard is really pathetic IMO. It's a ncie sweeper, but CBmence is a far better physical sweeper. Dnite can DD much better as well...Special wise, Mence still takes the cake :/ Charizard is, quite honestly, overrated.

Which is why the only cheason i chose charmander of fire red is to get suicine

Import it

And restart with Squirtle

lilninjapig November 22nd, 2007 10:30 AM

I choose Bulbasaur, because it is the underdog of the trio. Also, I have both Blastoise and Charizard in D/P so I want to have Bulbasaur for a change.

Blayze November 22nd, 2007 1:33 PM

Charmander, always Charmander.
Reasons? Charizard is my favorite Pokemon and in FR and LG you get Suicune after you beat the E4.

Anti November 22nd, 2007 1:39 PM

For those of you who like Chari to get Suicune, keep in mind there's a glitch that makes the running legendary dog have terrible IVs...

AsunaSakurai November 23rd, 2007 6:03 AM

well ive always started with a charmander

Gulpin November 23rd, 2007 6:21 AM

I voted for Squirtle, because he is easy to use, and is also the coolest turtle around!
