I kinda agree, but most people would get destroyed if they had to face a Skarmory, Murkrow, or Natu for the first gym badge.
Title Win. Falkner Win.
God, what is it with the early-game-character-bashing?
First Elm, now Falkner...
If you think Falkner is too easy, get a lv.10 Chikorita, get your friend to battle you with a lv.14 Skarmory.
Now think he should have one? Didn't think so.
He's weak because it's not fair otherwise.
Although...Natu would have been nice, but am I right in thinking the first time we see Xatu is in Will's team at Indigo Plateau.
Farfetch'd would work, cept for the fact that Azalea and Ilex Forest are centred around Farefetch'd and Slowpoke.
Hoothoot are already common, and I suppose it'd also be nice for people who had R/B/Y when starting off in a new generation?
If you look, all the gym leaders have a Gen I pokemon to lead, at least:
Falkner - Pidgey
Bugsy - Scyther, and I guess in Gen II it was Metapod/Kakuna?
Whitney - Clefairy
Morty - Gastly
Chuck - Primeape
Jasmine - Magnemite
Pryce - Seel
Clair - Gyarados? or maybe Dragonair.
