Bulbasaur is also good against Misty and I think Lt. Surge also. So you can see my reasoning for picking Bulbasaur. Most likely the best choice.

im going to get a squirtle becuase he the coolest and is exellent against brock

Charmander Char!

I've always loved fire so Charmander. Charizard is to hard to pass up.

I'ma get Charmander, 'cause when I got Blue version way back when, I chose Charmander (After I erased the file My dominering older brother created, insisting that he play it first even though I bought it with MY money.) I always liked charmander, and in gold, I chose Cyndaquill, and in Ruby, I chose Torchic. I love the fire types! And now is the chance to relive Red version.....But Advanced! So yea, I've babbled long enough. Charmander it is.

I would get Charmander because he has the best evolutions

You base your starter choice on which is more effective against the first three gym leaders? Please people, just because a pokemon has a type disadvantage doesn't mean it automatically loses. And you do know you can catch more pokemon to use, right? You're not restricted to using only the starter against the gym leaders.

Looks like I sort of killed this thread... Big accomplishment for me.

Its going to be hard if you only have your starter on your team...arent you gonna catch any pokemon?? i agree on the FIRST gym it might be hard with charmander, cause the only pokemon that you can catch is ..normal types...and thunder...but the rest of the game it wont be hard...

Im gonna get da shiny Charmander!!

Good luck with the shiny charmander =]
i myself is gonna start with Charmander!! =P

I'm going to stick with my fav old time partener charmander I once got a charizard to levle 100 with out cheating and it owned the elite four!

Good points, Griffith Hawkins. In reality, you are somewhat correct. Bulbasaur would be the ideal Pokemon to go with, but there's just something about Plant Pokemon that people don't really like, or at least just me. I mean, how many Plant-type Pokemon do you see people using? Even though some of them are decent annoyers. That's why I always choose the Fire-type or Water-type starter. Also, lets not forget that all three starters will have difficulty at one point or another, hence the reason why there's 6 pokemon in a party.

And no, you didn't kill the thread. It just so happens to be that members aren't on 24/7...At least most of them.

Well, I agree with Griffith Hawkins, I think that Bulbasaur is a very good starter, but not only that. I also think that Venusaur is the best plant pokemon in the game. But a plant pokemon can easily be replaced by an electric pokemon.
