Yellow.

Getting all of them.

Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur is objectively the best pokemon from a min-max standpoint.

THAT BALL

Oak > Table > Three barely visible computers

Bulbasaur. This is a fact.

>>121775940
Bulbasaur. Makes the first 3 gyms piss easy.

Charizard is what the best players pick.

Go back to /po/ faggot

This shit right here

>papercraft and origami

wat

>people suggesting Bulbasaur

Even the fucking manual said Bulbasaur was for casual players.

Squirtle is boss.

squirtle
always niggas

he is America's FUCKING hero

I never understood why people say the game difficulty changes based on which starter you pick. It's not like your starter is the ONLY pokemon you can use. So you can't use your precious charmander against Brock. Big fucking deal, there are shitloads of pokemon around with grass and water moves. wait...don't tell me you guys are those fags who only use their starter.

And I liked bulbasaur the best. I've always had a soft spot for the grass types.

>Bulbasaur

maximum trolling.

venusaurs base stat is 525
Blastoise 530
Charizard 534

>hurr

Fucking charmander, because charizard, duh.

>>121777572
> So you can't use your precious charmander against Brock. Big fucking deal, there are shitloads of pokemon around with grass and water moves.

Before Brock? No there aren't. Only Squirtle and Bulbasaur. The rest are flying and normal(weak to rock), bugs(no good moves) or pikachu(pffthahaha)

>mfw squirtle, like every water starter, is the best

>>121777872
manky with it's fighting moves
and I'm pretty sure butterfree could learn absorb or some shit.

>>121778046

>every water starter

I wouldn't go that far. Squirtle is a champ, but that penguin shit is a faggot.

>>121777872
Or you could catch a mankey or get a butterfree, either of which would be easy mode for Brock. Scrub.

>>121777709
>judging a pokemon solely by base stat total

HURR

>>121777872
>Butterfree

>no good moves

>>121778203
ill admit that much, tortoise there was the best one

>>121777872
its like crazy easy to win, what does it matter

either grind or get yourself a buttfree which also requires grinding LOLJAPAN

>>121777872
if you level charmander enough you can still kill geodude and onix with ember despite the weakness. and having a good pokemon like charizard later in the game is worth it for a tiny amount of inconvenience early in the game

>>121778245
>>121778187

>mankey

They weren't in the original Red and Blue.

>>121778187
>>121778245
these men know how its done

>>121777872
this guy can't into pokemon

>>121778203
agreed.

mudkip is a fucking MOUNTAIN compared to squirtle though

dear god Swampert barrels trough the elite four at level sixty in Sapphire

>>121778379
>Mankey
>Not in red
You can't be this stupid.

>>121778245
>Beating Brock with a mankey

The fuck?

bulbasaur is the best in the beginning

charizard is the best over time

squirtle always sucks

deal w/it

>>121778245

Mankey couldn't be caught in Blue version, and if I remember correctly Low kick wasn't a fighting move in Red/Blue.

Bro tier:
Water

Cool and edgy tier:
Fire

Savant tier:
Grass

Shit nigger what are you doing tier:
Pikachu

>>121778046
Every water starter except the one in White and Black, that is.
I always pick water starter, but haven't picked up B/W yet.

>>121778321
>getting to level 10 = grinding

no. that shit's piss easy. you should be well beyond that when facing brock anyw

Squirtle>charmander
Charizard>Blatoise

i ussually choose squirtle thought

>>121777572
lets say you chose charmander. the pokemon you have available to you up to brock would be

caterpie and its evolutions(bug/psychic)
rattata
weedle and its evolutions(bug/poison)
pidgey
pikachu
and either nidorans
maybe mankey


all of these are weak against ground and rock except mankey. but thats a red exclusive and it learned a fight move past lvl 10
now if you have bulbasaur or squirtle, you learn a grass/water move fairly early

i chose bulbasaur on my first play through ever, then i played again with charmander for the challenge and because i regretted my original pick[/spoiler

I have had no interest in plebeian squirtle

>>121777709

But Charizard has AWFUL typing as well as a shitty move pool.

Blastoise is 100% concentrated rape. He can be used as a sweeper, a stall, even spin support.

Blastoise>all starters

>>121778545
>Implying mankey's attack wasn't high enough to disregard attack types

>>121778560
>2011
>picking that faggot clown otter with the clam dick instead of the crazy awesome grass snake

This is the truth

Bulbasaur: Casuals who want easy modo
Squirtle: Normalfags
Charmander: Dragonfags/ "HxC" faggots

Fuckin' casuals. Catching a Nidoran and levelling it to level 6 so that it learns double kick is hard as fuck.

More like one of the most pointless debates, OP.

I like all of them. Back in the days of 1st Gen, they were all awesome.

Charizard sucks dicks now, though.

>>121778683
blastoise is "generic bulky water" and is completely outclassed by a dozen other water types.

>>121778590
Brock's pokemon have no ground type offensive moves in Red/Blue/Yellow

>>121778556
Please tell you and everyone your working with to stop raiding 4chan

Usually picked Squirtle, sometimes Bulbasaur. Charmander never really did it for me.

>>121778285
look at all the resists and weaknesses, faggot

0/10 didnt troll me asshole not even mad

Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Chimchar, Oshawott.

>>121778831
but because its a ground type on top of rock, a lot of moves dont damage well enough

All of the are nice, but real men pick Charmander.

Oh, what's that, the two first gyms are to hard for you?

A bloo bloo bloo

As a payoff you'll get a roided starter that wipes it's butt with your rivals fucking turtle.

you can keep your starters, give me a Heracross

>Keeping the starters
>Not running through the game with Clefable and Magneton

Fucking casuals.

>>121778981
>I can't into confusion, double kick or ember

Always and forever.

>>121779010
I totally agree with ya man. The only thing better than Charmander is Tepig

>You now realise kids today don't even know what Charizard is and all those Charizard obsessed faggots are actually 20 something man children

Those are bookcases, retard.

>>121778590
>caterpie and its evolutions(bug/psychic)
butterfree got absorb. insta-rapes brock
>rattata
solid pokemon. not weak against rock. you'll have to wittle their health down though
>weedle and its evolutions(bug/poison)
twin needle is a good attack that's learned early (not sure if early enough to go against brock though)
>pidgey
bad choice, fair enough
>pikachu
not a bat choice; just can't use electric attacks. brocks pokemon don't know any ground attacks anyway.
>and either nidorans
DOUBLE KICK DOUBLE KICK DOUBLE KICK DOUBLE KICK END
>maybe mankey
mankey rapes their shit

Bulbasaur-Easy
Squirtle-Medium
Charmander-Hard

They actually designed it this way. Bulbasaur can easily handle fights until late game, where you already have a full team covering most weaknesses. Charmander has a harder time. Not saying its actually hard, just saying its not as easy as bulbasaur.

It's always either the fire pokemon, or the water pokemon. I have NEVER, EVER seen a use for grass pokemon, ever in the world. It's so pathetic that i make it a point to pull out my water pokemon to battle my rivals grass type and dominate the fucking thing. Everytime.

>be a little kid
>get pokemon red
>have only charmander and normal pokemon
>fight brock
>battle lasts for hours and hours of resetting
>win
>be older
>realize i could have done it way easier with multiple strategies
>mfw

charmander, because charmander.

>mfw Gengar and Tauros were my favorite pokemon
>mfw no friends so couldn't trade to get Gengar, and Tauros were incredibly rare in the FUCKING SAFARI ZONE
>mfw I never got either in RBY

>>121779529

this. the only time i've ever had a problem with the Rival was in Ruby, between Slateport and Mauville, dealing with his FUCKING Grovyle and its FUCKING Leaf Blade.

charmander - interesting, good for a challenge
Squirtle - all good, especially since he gets surf, saving you from getting another water pokemon
bulbasaur - fucking godly little bastard, rips shit up.
then bulbasaur fucking evolves into god damn ivysaur the best damn pokemon in existence.. then its as simple as pressing B for every level bulbasaur gets level 32 onwards.

>>121777872
and this guy knows what hes talking about.
charmander is a bad choice for fighting brock, the only way to do it, is the way i used to do it in yellow, get a pidgey high enough level, and spam the shit out of sand attack on the onix. until pidgey feints or the sand attack stops working.
or failing that, get nidorino or butterfree or something.

>>121779452
