My fave out of all starters was probably Typhlosion lol :D

I taught it thunderpunch, flamethrower, earthquake, and fire blast, and thought it was the best thing ever!

Charmander is the stock answer because everyone loves Charizard. However you get the most from Squirtle.

I can support both charmander and Squirtle, but i really want to know why people like bulbasaur?

... besides having an easy ride for the first 4 gyms?
It is the first pokemon that players see, so it might have some charm.

Personally, I think Bulbasaur is the cutest starter pokemon. If only it was more useful at the end ...

From a competitive standpoint, Charizard is the worst (Never Used) while Venusaur and Blastoise are in (Under Used). Bottom line is that they're all pretty bad but Squirtle is the coolest.

Charmander ftw.

I'd start off by leveling to 16 before facing Brock, to ensure a win.

I'd skip every trainer battle I could so I could then go and get the Magikarp and then do the trainer battles to help boost his xp as fast as possible.

I wouldn't face Misty right away, what I would do is train until my Magikarp evolves before facing my rival in the next city. I would then go catch an abra, and evolve it.

So my lineup for facing Misty was a Charmeleon in the mid to high 20's, a low 20's Gyrados, and a 20-ish Kadabra. I'd grab a Dugtrio in the next city, and then I've got myself a pretty potent lineup until I can start going after the birds, or some other big prize.

It was always a big pain in the ass..... I'm in terrible shape until I get both the abra and the Magikarp to evolve..... But once it started paying off, I was fucking set!

I only ever played pokemon yellow (pikachu FTW!!!) but I think I'd go with charmander 1st, then squirtle, and bulbasaur would be my last choice. Mainly because charmander is f'ing cute and he becomes a charizard which is much more awesome than blastoise/venosaur imo.

Clear vote to Charmander. I started my first PKMN adventure with Squirtle, but had the most fun games with Charmander around. I think it' a badass pokemon!
I just love video games, what's your excuse?
