Poll: The Best Starter Pokemon

[VanityGirl]

squirtle was the shit

If that's what you've always noticed, then you're completely wrong.

Well, I never said I was right or something like "it's always like this". I just said "I've always noticed." That means an opinion that applies to me, not a fact. I'm sure other people see differently because I just read their posts.

btw, id like to hear about that multiplication glitch.

Okay. To the best of my knowledge, it works on only the Red and Blue versions.
First, you have to make sure the item you want to duplicate is the sixth item in your backpack.
Then, you go to Viridian city to talk to the old man. Play like a dumbass and say you would like to see how Pokemon are caught. He'll do his demonstration on a Weedle or something.
After the demonstration is over, IMMEDIATELY fly to Cinnibar Island, and then go to the far right coast of the island, then surf up and down alongside the gym.
The first Pokemon you encounter should look like a jumble of static. It'll still behave like a water Pokemon, though. Catch it if you want (you really shouldn't, actually).
When the battle is over, get out of the water, and check your backpack. Hey, presto, your sixth item has been duplicated so much, it's over 99, and the game had to resort to displaying the numbers using random icons.
Enjoy.

oh, those static things! i used to catch em... and ive lost my blue game. but thanks anyway

Fuck the starters. Just go into the forest and catch a Weedle. Use that as your starter.

Why would you want a bug pokemon?

I thought it was an obvious joke.

Dammit. I should stop going on the escapist in the night...

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Cyndaquil... Because you cannot deny that an adorable flaming hedgehog that evolves into an adorable, badass badger that can turn itself into a rolling fireball is completely epic. Also, because Gen 2 is completely better than Gen 1 in almost every aspect.

As for your Gen 1 Pokemon... I choose you, Charmander! I love Fire-types.

Refer to the Awesome series easteregg on the crackdown episode for my opinion of charmander.

its the S on the loadin screen

CHARMANDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[K1LLSVV1TCH]

Charmander obviously dude.
Much harder in the beginning, but I remember just catching a ratata or something for the first couple gyms.

 

[Lonely Swordsman]

Charmander is the equivalent of hard mode for the original Red/Blue Pokemon game, but I still always picked it. I was a stupid kid...

 

[LtFerret]

Stat wise: Infernape ans Swampert are the best

Personal wise: Feraligatr FTW

 

[Tokeism]

Charmander without a doubt

 

[CloudKiller]

Has to be Squitle. Teach it Blizzard and Dig and laugh in the face of everything.

 

[Whistler777]

and now to make you angry i would also choose torchick and tirtwig.(lookes at whistler once more)

You, my friend, just made a very powerful enemy.

But enough of that. I just beat the game again with Charizard, and I found that I was right: he is not a very good Pokemon to choose.

 

[Biosophilogical]

I chose charmander because the first time i ever pciked him I had a charizard by the time i beat the water-gym. (Yes i was that bad that i had to have a charizard before i could win)

 

[Squedee]

Bulbasaur

 

[Socken]

Well, Bulbasaur and Squirtle are easier for the first 2 badges. But fire types are hard to come by.
Plus fire is awesome.
So Charmander it is.

yea, choosing fire and wanting it to become awesome, requires a lot of attention and training.
fire has some of my favorite one's but they just grow so slow.
but a great way to improve there growth rate is to stop evo several times.(well it workes for me and my friends)

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

Squirtle.

Beats charmander with fire and bulbasaur with ice.

SUPERIOR

 

[Godavari]

Charmander for sure. He evolves into an orange dragon with his tail on fire.
AN ORANGE DRAGON
WITH HIS TAIL ON FIRE
How is that not awesome? You may have some trouble with the first two gyms, but it's worth it in the long run.

 

[Whistler777]

Squirtle.

Beats charmander with fire and bulbasaur with ice.

SUPERIOR

We have a winner.

Bite, Ice Beam, and Surf trump every Pokemon type except Electric. But fuck that shit, who uses Electric Pokemon anyway?

 

[blaze96]

Fuck yea, Water pokemon for life! Hell I remember by the time I got Blastoise surf could take out damn near ANY pokemon Blue version could throw at you, even electric types. If not you just dig or hydro pump and BAMB!, fucker goes down.

Silver was a ***** with the water type though, freakin rollout from that damn cow took me down so many times. Worth it in the end though, when I got a giant two legged alligator.

 

[Markgraf]

Cyndaquil! I just adore that furry little... thing. Plus, I have fond memories of sweeping everything with my Typhlosion.

Gen 1, I might have to say Squirtle, just because he isn't a dinosaur with a bad case of back-fungus or a handicapped fire breathing reptile that isn't even an actual dragon.

 

[God52495]

SQUIRTLE FTW! Pretty much summed it up the way you put it
