For starters it would definately be Bulbasaur coz it's alot easier to beat Brock and Misty with it. However, for later on in the game I think it would be better to have Charizard (so you start with Charmander obviously)
|
I like Bulbasaur best outta the originals.
..although I am forever dedicated to Swampert. ^^ |
each starter has its own qualities, but i would like to think of it in terms of the gyms they would be good and bad at based on type matchups:
pewter: bulba-best, squirt-best, char-bad; winner: bulba & squirt cerulean: bulba-good, squirt-neutral, char-bad; winner: bulba vermilion: bulba-good, squirt-bad, char-neutral; winner: bulba celadon: bulba-neutral, squirt-bad, char-good; winner: char fuchsia: bulba-bad, squirt-neutral, char-neutral; winner: squirt & char saffron: bulba-bad, squirt-neutral, char-neutral; winner: squirt & char cinnabar: bulba-bad, squirt-good, char-neutral; winner: squirt viridian: bulba-good, squirt-best, char-worst; winner: squirt 1st half winner: bulbasaur 2nd half winner: squirtle AND THE WINNER IS: SQUIRTLE!!! ok, ok, whatever. :\ bulbasaur's good at the beginning, charmander's good in the middle, and squirtle's good at the end. so... take your pick. |
For me bulbasaur, he help you beat the two gym leader...
later i can train stronger pokemon |
I think Charmander is the best, I tihkn it takes more EXP then the other 2 but it has the best moves and stats in my opinion.
|
Charmander or Bulbasaur, Charizard has the strongest attack stats, Venusaur is more focused on special attacks, Blastoise, I'm not really sure. All are equal on it's stats. So, it'd be Bulbasaur ^_^
|
Well techically. The best starter would be bulbasaur. Better than Brock and Misty's Gym because both gyms are weak to Bulbasaur. The Third Gym leader has electric. which Bulbasaur is resistant to
|
Truthfully, Bulbasaur is the best "early game" starter because he:
>KO's Brock's Pokemon >KO's Misty's Pokemon and is resistant to them >Is resistant to Lt. Surge's Pokemon Squrtle is also nice but I am a big picture, long term guy, and so I stick with Charmander because of these reasons: >Blastoise is a nice Pokemon, but Lapras and Gyrados are better >Grass is not a useful type, and Venusaur has a bad set of moves >Charizard is the best fire type in the game Some may argue on the last point. Let me address the possible arguments. >"Moltres is way stronger!" - This may be true, but Moltres has bad moves. I can't remember if he learns Flamethrower or not, but even if he does, its his only good attack. Fire Blast is too inacurate to rely on as your fire type attack. >"Arcanine is strong too!" - Also true. But can Arcanine fly? No. Does he learn Flamethrower? No. The exception to all this is Magmar, who is a great pokemon, but can only be found in Blue and is not easy to get or raise. Stick with Charmander through those 1st two gyms (use them to get experience for your other pokemon) and you'll be glad you did. |
In my personal opinion, Squirtle is the best of them.
... Though, game-wise, Bulbasaur wins. xP It's awesome for Gym battles, and there's lots of places in the game where it comes in handy, like getting through Rock Tunnel and beating Team Rocket [because of his Poison qualities]. |
I would usualy take Charmander as it can get you past most battles.Bulbasaur is good.
|
I think Charmander but if Pika was there there would be no competition
|
It has to be charmander, its the best pokemon to start with, and the funnest , though now it can learn metal clawin the later game...it seems easy -_-''
|
Start with Squirtle. If you clear the game with him, you can clear the game in FR/LG.
|
To tell the truth I'm not a big water starter fan either. :\
Out of the three water's I'd pick mudkip because he's part ground. I'm a huge charmander fan in FrLg and R/B. Bulbasaur is okay but I'd definitely pick Charmander. ;) |
Personally..ill trade my starter and start with mew
