If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

So what I'm reading is that most people picked Bulbasaur only because of the first two gyms, and not because of any quality inherit to the Pokémon. You could have just caught a Mankee. Or leveled up. Or believed in your Charmander more.

Bulbasaur is at least imaginative though. Ekans is just a snake. Also the typings in Gen I clearly has zero thought put into it.
Also, question: is the relationship between salamanders and fire common knowledge or what?

I picked Charizard. Though admittedly Blastoise's cannons are crazy awesome and I consider him the most American Pokémon. Also picked Charizard again in Y. He is the only that gets two different Mega forms, so that's basically Nintendo admitting he's the best even though Megavolutions or whatever are dumb.

It's also snake spelled backwards. And arbok is kobra. They got really lazy with those ones.

Either Bulbasaur or Charmander. I doubt I used any of them after getting psychic types.

I picked bulbasaur and all my idiot friends got pokemon blue and picked squirtle. I got red because scyther is the superior pokemon in all gen 1 discussions and you could only get him in red without trading. Then I didn't go outside after school for like two days and severely outleveled them all and venusaur and other evolved pokemon trashed their garbage teams so hard it wasn't even funny. Then no one played pokemon with me ever again. That's my gay pokemon story thanks for listening.

you don't need "new" pokemon games. there is a program that scrambles and randomizes all the old games, so all the pokemon/trainers/items/etc are in different spots and it becomes an entirely different game. if you are particularly adventurous you can scramble the pokemons stats, so that they learn different moves, have different elements, etc and are essentially different pokemon that you have to figure out on your own. that way guides and FAQs are useless and you have to play the game fresh:

Bulbasaur and charmander were poo poo because they were both dual types (Charmander was part flying as Charizard). Squirtle remained pure and had less weaknesses as a result.
