Charmander for life bro. I used bulbasaur once but other than the fact that he leveled up faster it seemed, he wasn't nearly as much fun as fucking Charzard.

Ohh please every generation of Pokemon has its good and bad designs. Are you really telling me that with pokemon like muk and a generic rat and seel and a upside down pokeball that gen 1 was perfect in pokemon design? Every generation has its good and bad pokemon designs, and its pure nostalgia that makes people hold gen 1 on a pedestal. Yes gen 1 was good, but it was not better or worse in Pokemon design than any of the others. That being said, I am glad to see a anime with out red instead of ash, because ash gets on my nerves.

I think I played Blue version and started off with Charmander. But Brock was too hard for me at that point so I switched to Squirtle.

Damn, this is making me realize how old I am.

Def charmander for life!
1st few gyms may be hard, but I remember having two centipes from the forest which both carried my team through the initial gym battles.

Then I recall meeting my 1st jigglypuff! Had to catch that! I was dumb enough to give it a moonstone and wigglytuffs aren't what I expected -_-.

well considering how ash is in a coma and all these adventures are a product of his comatose mind, some irregularities are to be expected

Ash isn't in a coma. He saw a Ho-Oh in the first episode which granted him eternal happiness. Ash is happy during his pokemon journeys, and thus Ho-Oh granted him eternal happiness by allowing him to enjoy his journey forever. The moment Ash develops, he is one step closer to ending his journey, thus ending his eternal happiness. Ash hitting the reset button at every region allows him to eternally stay in his journey

From DPPt pokedex:

It possesses seven-colored wings. It is said that those who see Ho-Oh are promised an eternal happiness.

you were kind of a scrub if you didn't choose charmander as your starter.

My first pokemon was Squirtle. I remember my Blastoise was like level 75 and all my other pokemon were around 30s except for a Clefable in the 50s :D I also remember not being able to get into saffron city for a couple days because I had not Idea about the rooftop where you could buy water -.-;

It was Charizard. Scenes of him not listening to Ash were hilarious. It even happened in a gym battle or 2.

Fuck it, I'm using my emulator today because of this. Only question is whether I want Blue or Yellow... (beaten Red x1000 on my GameBoy, same with Yellow, but Yellow has pikachu...!)

Charmander. It leveled so fast and ignors me all the time T_T. Man that battle music from the trailer got me pumped.

I hope that it's good, but it hopefully doesn't get as shitty as the current Pokemon series which I haven't seen for years, but assume that it's just as shit as it became after the first few season.

Also what about supporting characters?

charmander first always. charmander was for those who played the long game. the first 4 gyms were tough but charizard was the best fire pokemon by far. with water you had the magikarp evolution and for leafy pokemon you had vileplume.

Didn't Charizard lose Ash a match in the Pokemon League 'cause it didn't want to listen? Or am I bringing some manga lore into this?

But honestly, Ash's Charizard is his most OP Pokemon. Goes toe-to-toe with legendaries.

That was end of season 1. Ash lost in the pokemon league semifinals because Charizard refused to fight.

I hate the direction the current series went. I would love to watch a reboot like that, I even recently read the manga because I am still somewhat interested in pokemon but the current show is terrible. I wouldn't even mind them doing the second gen too because its story has lots of ties to the first one, but after that my interest is going to fall fast, especially if they keep it going like the current series by making the main character become weaker.
