Buizel!!!??? Wtf!!
Can't our starter be like ... something cool?
Maybe like a ... oh I don't know ... NOT BUIZEL? Why not make the Lapi a starter? That'd be sick. Then it could evolve into lapras like at level 32 I guess...
Better idea! When we talk to Professor Oak (Or IVY. It really doesn't concern me at the moment) They can say that they found an egg on the beach, and since you are there for your starter anyways, they give the egg to you. Then, make the step count for the hatching small enough so when they get to the first patches of grass, it hatches, into a Lapi (Level 5)
I like my idea better than having a Buizel for a starter. Make Buizel an event Pokémon. It would be awesome with a Lapi as a starter.
