Hello ladies and gentleman of tl. I got bored and decided to have a super special awesome idea. I currently have an emulator which allows to me to play pokemon on my phone, I got firered, one of my all time favorites and thought, hey let's get tl involved with this. So, I will make a request. Help me create my team and each member's nickname for this playthrough.


To start things off, well what other way to start this off:

Poll: Hardest Question of All Time.

Charmander (25)
 
35%

Squirtle (25)
 
35%

Bulbasaur (21)
 
30%

71 total votes

Your vote: Hardest Question of All Time.

(Vote): Charmander
(Vote): Squirtle
(Vote): Bulbasaur




I will edit this as the game progresses. Voting will end the moment my YOLO-Showmatch with Soularion ends. If you take the time to vote, plz comment with a nickname for my pokemon (and specify which starter you chose)

***

I say squirtle isn't the best pick cuz in gen 1 you have a ton of strong water options (dewgong starmie gyarados slowbro to name a few) where fire and grass types are harder to come by. I always went charmander unless you really wanted an arcanine or ninetails

In Gen 1 you catch Nidoran Male and use squirtle as a surf slave. In Gen 3 you use Squirtle until you can catch Zapdos and then proceed to use Squirtle as a surf slave.

I tend to like doing that because I find it difficult to get a strong grass type later on while it seems strong fire/water are pretty easy to find

although Venasaur always felt weaker at the end than the others D:

Bulbasaur isn't a bad option if u play Venasaur the right way, he's not the heavy hitter that charizard and blastoise are but his sunny day solarbeam combo is nice

Fuck Stealth Rock!
And fuck whichever game-freak nimrod thought it would be a good idea to make a rock-weakness 20x worse than any other weakness. Seriously? A type-based entry-hazard?
Kinda puts SC2's imbalances (whatever you happen to believe they are) in perspective.
