I was the 6 year old kid who saw other people playing Pokemon and realized Bulbasaur was strong against the first three gyms and was clearly objectively the correct choice and anything else was suboptimal so of course I picked him when I got my own Gameboy.
Kayden Rivera
bulbasaur is so cute bros

>two of the most common types in the game

6 year old you was a tard.
Noah Campbell
>Of the three starters, Charizard is the only one that has a x4 weakness which means you'll die even if overleveled
>You can just toxic the shit out of everything with Venusaur since steel-type doesn't exist yet and poison-type gets rekt by earthquake
You're the clown here user
Easton Gonzalez
>Bulbasaur: easy early game
>Squirtle: not hard or easy, offers utility in the form of surf
>Charmander: hard start, hard finish, but evolves into a fucking dragon
Obviously chads go with Charmander.
Carter Carter
I played this an ungodly amount of time when I was a kid and I picked them all. They all rule and showing you don't like 1 of them portrays your weak taste.
Ian Butler
Imagine being the kid who saw a fucking dragon and picked the frog instead.
Grayson Powell
I had yellow version so I got all three :^)
Brandon Allen
charizard sisters, we can't stop sucking!
Jaxon Clark
You can get all 3 if you have the first stadium for the n64. It is the reward for beating your rival.
All the fossils, more evees, and hitmonchan/lee too.
Henry Johnson
>cherrypicking
It's almost like Charizard is the most popular or something.
Cooper Morris
... also attracts the most retarded and NPC kind of people
Adrian Hall
Yeah, popular things attract normies. I bet you feel so smart for having figured this out.
Mason Walker
retard, Charmander gets Metal Claw so you can destroy the first gym. For the second gym, there are tons of grass pokemon.
Nathaniel King
>steel move in gen 1
Caleb Cook
more like chariTARD
Nolan Thomas
>gen 1
>metal claw
absolute state of charizard fans
Sebastian Perez
>t. zoomers who never played gen 1
Jordan Gray
Says the one who thinks he can use metal claw before FRLG.
Henry Collins
Even if that was the case, they're not wrong.
Carson Taylor
good thing theres like one rock move worth using in gen 1 and it's still bad
Jordan Bell
GODDAMN watercolor pokemon just have so much more soul
Kayden Jones
Just let Bulb/Ivy carry you to Cerulean, than catch a Sandshrew and let it take over.
Blake Reed
On the subject of Pokemon, why do people use the "it's for kids" excuse when talking about the dumbing down of new games when the old games were also for kids?
Henry Brown
>but evolves into a fucking dragon
I can smell the manbaby autism from this post
Caleb Morgan
I box starters, and story-compelled legendaries, because they feel less special than a pokemon I made the conscious decision to capture.
Like they were forced on me, like they're not really mine.
Shills
Benjamin Martin
I was the kid that saw a turtle on the cover, said to myself "Yeah, I like Ninja Turtles", bought Blue and ran the turtle.
Chase Jenkins
Because it's an excuse. Old games were allowed to be difficult despite being "for kids".
Not that Pokemon is anything remotely hardcore, but you had to try a little.
Aiden Fisher
>ten years old and like dragons?
>heh must be manbabby autism
Josiah Hill
>you destroyed the game
You're god damn right I did
Juan Long
Squirtle is still better
Gabriel Mitchell
>but you had to try a little.
No you didn't
Cameron King
For me it's steamrolling all gyms with overleveled Blastoise.
Samuel Anderson
you may only reply to this post if you completed Earl's Pokemon Academy
BRO DID YOU KNOW IF YOU USE DEFENSE CURL BEFORE ROLLOUT IT DOES MORE DAMAGE?
STOMP DOES EXTRA DAMAGE AGAINST MINIMIZE-USERS?
Benjamin Miller
Is there a Pokemon rom hack with the original art as sprite assets? I want that very badly
Nicholas Campbell
It kills me that to this day Venusaur is still far and away the strongest grass starter
Landon Williams
Keep in mind how things were when Pokemon was released. You didn't know shit and the only reason you win most fights was because of how retarded the AI is.

I had just learned of boosted moves against minimize recently the hard way because I was running Clefairy.

It’s so weird how people are like
>the new games are a joke
While they have the whole type matchup chart memorized by heart.
Aaron Campbell
How do you go from this...
Lincoln Rodriguez
To this??!
David Kelly
To illustrate this point RBY had actual dungeons. With puzzles spanning multiple floors. There were hidden areas that you could end up skipping entirely with Pokemon and rewards inside of them. Nu Pokemon has none of that, it's a straight line from beginning to end. And the "hidden areas" is usually like a single lane that has a TM or something in it.
Dominic Jones
Play the old games, and even with the whole chart tattooed in the palm of your hand I assure that you'll find the game way more difficult than Sword and Shield
Owen Harris
How was DP on the dungeon/puzzle situation?
Adam Thompson
yeah, meanwhilke infernape and blaziken SHIT on charizard
Jaxon Ward
They don’t lol, actually Charizard and Incineroar are the best fire starters
Dylan Brown
there are several optional areas with puzzles and unique rewards
Jayden Nguyen
I wish they experimented with making your own Pokeballs more
Oliver Harris
My issue with modern pokemon game difficulty is the fact that NPC gets get cleaved down in size, lose held items, and get devolved

That was some bullshit
Levi Davis
To this?
William James
same, but also bulbasaur was cool-looking and venusaur's sprite in gen 1 annihilated charizard's in coolness ratio
Daniel Campbell
I pick bulbasaur but firespin spam is insane.
Ethan Jones
cute cat
Christian Stewart
Kids are actually getting dumber.
Leo Ortiz
bulbasaur has sleep powder spam anyway, basically the same thing
Tyler Ward
trannies think they are still kids
Robert Sanchez
I hate all those red lines and circles. Dude, I can read just fine.
Ian Evans
man they really need to bring the "suburban technology adventure" aesthetic of pokemon back where you use cool gadgets and technology as a supplement to training pokemon. They've never shown how TMs are used/"booted up", these things could make for cool lore.
I remember The Electric Tale of Pikachu had a lot of this aesthetic.
Nolan Allen
no pokemon ever had the magic of the three starters. you cant prove me wrong.
Luis Bennett
Kanto invented perfect cloning technology. Bill gene spliced himself into a Clefable. Saffron's business district has teleporters that no one else uses. Everything about Mewtwo. Kanto is a mad scientist hellhole.
