1st Gen Pokemon Yellow "Starters"

My very first time I played Yellow, I was really little, so I didn't know what to expect. I just had my Pikachu, a Nidoran female, and a Butterfree. I quickly figured out a level 14 Pikachu was useless against Brock's pokemon and just double kicked + confusion'd his pokemon to death. x3
 
When i first played yellow as a kid i did it the dumb way by training pikachu up to like 25 or something when i recently played yellow i did it the smart way and got a butterfree
 
Tododile and charmander cuz of Feraligatr (look @ my avatar, DUH lol). But Pickachu is still my top. got him to 16 b4 i beat brock!
 
Nidoran's ideal for beating Brock. Too bad I broke my Yellow....
:cer_frown::cer_no::cer_cry:
 
I remember a childhood friend quit the Pokémon series altogether as he couldn't get past Brock. Somehow he managed to train Pikachu to level 40-something by raw failure... resulting in win. The poor feller still didn't literally win.. :3

If I recall correctly, in my first Yellow I used the typical Pidgey as a shield to defeat Geodude and weaken Onix, then when he/she faints I switch out to Pikachu to get my EXP :D.
 
I'm playing Yellow on my iPod, and, even though I haven't even gotten to Pewter City yet, I'm training a Pidgey, Mankey, and Nidoran♂.

Mankey, which seems to be the popular answer here. I used a Nidoran only once, but I'm not a fan -__- I trained my Pikachu until he was hella strong, though, so it wasn't a tough battle even though my Mankey didn't last through it.
 
I loved the way you had to have Pikachu it was an unexpected and new twist! I also liked the fact that you could get Bulbasaur, Squirtle & Charmander too.. but that was only found out once Id played a second time
 
I know I used Butterfree. In the end, I only had 4 guys on my team, two of them being Pikachu and butterfree.
 
I remember raising both a Mankey and a Caterpie (which evolved into a Butterfree) before reaching Pewter City. I can't quite remember which of the two I used to beat Brock. My money's on Mankey, because I remember keeping him on my team until Silph Co. I later traded one over to Ruby at the beginning of the game (along with some other Kanto Pokés from FireRed, just because I wanted my favorite ones back in Hoenn). I still have Primeape on my team on that game, so I must have gained a lot of admiration for it, that which I don't have for it anymore.
 
i recently beat brock again and my team was male nidoran lv. 14 metapod lv.8 pidgeotto lv.18 pikachu lv.20, yup talk about overleveld but i did it to be on the safe side [turbo speed helped lol]
 
I remember the first time I played I had both Nidorino and Nidorina, and later they were both on my team as like level 70 Nidokings and Queens, they actually are really good although they did lag behind the real starters and mewtwo. I replayed yellow quite recently and that time I used a butterfree, which I ditched when after I defeated surge.
 
I kept Pikachu, but I also had a Nidorino with me. it went along pretty great. :)
