>he picked the wrong starter (squirtle or bulbasaur) instead of based charmander
I know a lot of normies picked squirtle, but you guys are smart, right? you chose charmander, right?
I don't play Pokemon.
>Charizard is the best pokemon!1111!1
Just because he looks like a dragon doesn't make him good.
>>320719763
but Blastoise shits on the entire game all the way to the end of the Elite 4
>>320720187
it's a fat turtle
>>320719763
I have always started water, always.
>>320720224
And Charizard is a fat winged lizard, what's your point?
>>320720224
As opposed to a skinny one?
>>320719763
why even waste all that effort? he should have just let rhydon run into the wall
>>320719763

>not training a Butterfree for that based Confusion vs. Brock's shit tier Sp. Defense and Absorb vs. Misty.
smdh
Charmeleon was my favorite pokemon so I never evolved him when I was a kid.
>>320720653
charmander shits on brock in the first generation
>not picking the rail gun dinosaur
Bazooka Turtle is fine too.
Charmander is the only right choice !
>>320719763
>Charmander
>Fire types in general
>not the absolute most normie pick
Well memed.
>he picked the edgy fire dragon instead of the hugeass dinosaur with a tree on its back or the turtle with canons
This makes you a pleb.
>>320720224
M-muh sleek monsters
>blastoise
lol
Charizard has always been shit and you should feel bad OP.
>>320719763
how do I get a girlfriend that likes competitive pokemon?
>>320721873
>protagonist beats his rival
What a huge surprise.
Also reminder that Red's starter of choice in the manga is Bulbasaur.
>>320722258
origins is kinda more canon than special
>picking the fat yiff dragon
If you play pokemon and you are not a small child you are either autismo or hipster
>>320722423
>mega evolution
No it isn't.
>>320722892
Still in highschool?
>>320722894
it's part of the new canon (XY, ORAS and Origins)
everything else is fanfiction-tier
>>320722031
turn gay
>>320722992
According to XY, Mega stones have only been discovered in the Kalos region, it makes no sense for them to be in Kanto.
>Not going true patrician Bulbasaur
Have fun only doing like 20% of my health faggot
>All these charmemers picking the lame lizard that turns into a dragon that isn't even flying
Do you niggas even realize you could get a giant Turtle with cannons for shoulders? Highest special attack of water types?Best fucking mega evolution of the kanto starters?
I picked Charmander
Only to immediately replace it with a mankey
>>320719763
charizard is only second to pikachu in normie rankings

>that one friend who just trained his starter Pokemon through the entire game and beat it
What's the point in playing Pokemon if you rush through everything with one single high level?
I never got why people did this
>>320723696
the point of a game is to beat it, not to enjoy it
>>320723781
>he doesn't beat games while enjoying it
I'm so sorry anon
>>320723404
>Best mega evolution
Hahaha no. It got the worst of the 3.
>Venusaur gets super bulky and can now tank super effective fire and ice hits
>Charizard gets 2 hyper offensive evolutions one fiving dragon type the other bolstering its special attack to even further limits
>Blastoise remains monotyped and gets mega launcher, tough claws' retarded special oriented cousin.
Let's just point out the worst starter pokemon of each gen
Charizard > Typhlosion > Blaziken >All are good picks> Emboar > Chesnaught
4/6 of the worst starters are fire type. Cyndaquil can be argued but even then people are more likely to argue Delphox is worst
>10 when red came out
>Went with bulbasaur because I'd been reading the Nintendo Power previews, and saw the first 2 guys were weak to grass

>>320719763I picked Bulbasaur and he's still my favorite, fuck you.
>using fire types in gen 1
>ever
They are shit and they have always been shit. The only way they can make them viable is by giving them drought and another mega evo to make people mispredict.
>>320724226
charizard is the polar opposite of normie shit
>>320724725
literally in smash, the normie fighting game
>>320719763
Charizard is literally a normie pick. They never shut the fuck up about him.
>>320724725
nope
every normie who is nostalgic about gen 1 always talks about how great memeizard is
>>320719763
I picked Bulbasaur at first but I restarted my game when I found out the backsprite only shows some dumb flower.
Picked that there based Charmander.
False information. Normies chose Charmander.
>>320724148
> Bulbasuar
> Gengar
Oh hell yes
>>320722258
>Also reminder that Red's starter of choice in the manga is Bulbasaur.
But the Manga is literally just fanfiction.
>inb4 outdated Sugimori quote
>>320723302
Fuji brought the stones in from Kalos, dumbfuck
Forget starters, who is the best HM slave of all time? That's right, this mother fucker right here.
Depending on version, he can use:
>Surf
>Waterfall
>Whirlpool
>Dive
>Flash
>Rock Smash
>Strength
>Rock Climb
>Has decent all around stats
>Not only can he learn an incredible amount of HM's, but the decent stats means you'll actually be able to use him in battle as a viable team member
>>320724725
>fire element
>dragon
You're fucking retarded. Both of these things are the most normie picks possible
>>320720187
That's exactly why he's a normie chose. He's baby mode. Casual. BEGINNERS!
Charmander is for people who seek a real challenge. People with skill.
>people not realizing starters are difficulty levels in gen 1
>bulbasaur - beats first 2 gyms
>squirtle - beats first gym, no advantage in second
>charmander - weak to first 2 gyms
Anything after the first couple is pointless because you can grab whatever you need for type advantage anywhere
>>320725584
>pokemon
>skill
>>320725765
Get into competitive Pokemon, anon.
It's a whole different world.
>>320725341
Which makes no sense because in all probability the discovery of megastones most likely takes place after the events of RGB.
>>320725989
I am pretty deep into competitive.

Okay, once you actually stop meme spouting and check it out, you can come back here.
>>320725753
That's like saying bulbasaur is for very very very very easy mode and charmander is for very very very easy mode.
>>320726147
It's a game designed for children, what do you expect?
>>320719763
Real niggas grind in the first forest until they catch a pikachu, then make that their main instead of the starter.
>>320726114
Because you faggots all post here anyway.
>>320719763
>Charmander
>not the most normie pick
wew
>>320719763
Squirtle: Easy Mode
Bulbasaur: Moderate
Charmander: LE DARK SOULS XDDD
but seriously fuck FUCK FUCK those cunts for putting water and rock gym as the first two.
>>320719763
It's cute how insecure charmander-line fags are. You just cannot stop trying to justify your existence and must make up BS.
If anything charmander is the normie selection dude.
>>320726073
there is a competitive pokemon scene?
guess you really never stop learning
>>320726146
It's a game so reliant on luck that skill doesn't matter that much. All you have to do is predict your opponent and even then you can get RNG'd out of victory due to crits, parahax, flinchax, sleep turns and other many factors such as whether your opponent's team counters yours or not, if it does there's very little you can do to win the match.
The only way you can be "bad" at pokemon is if you're incredibly predictable or suck at team building.
>>320720653
Casuals ruined the game so Charmander learns Metal Claw early from Fire Red and onward.
>>320726420
It's a fucking joke, there's actual doubles tournaments out there and they pretty much rely on rock slide flinches and similar luck related scenarios.
I saw one match where some guy got paraflinched all match and even the caster was trying to save face by saying that luck didn't matter and that the best player won in the end.

>>320726371
Even worse is that really Charmander is really only good at the Grass gym. While Squirtle is great on nearly half of the gyms. Bulbasaur is about the game in usefulness in gyms as Squirtle but doesn't really have as much powerful moves as Squirtle until much later on.
>Charmander is for normies
>Squirtle is for Autistics who want to feel better than normies
>Bulbasaur is for people who enjoy playing pokemon

I'll go with pikachu
I've chosen and beat the original games once for each of the starters and then i did the ratata only challenge
The ratata challenge was probably my favorite, followed by the bulbasaur run, then squirtle run, then charmander run
These all happened in succession about 2 years ago btw
>>320719763

Fuck off back to /reddit9k/.
Or /vp/.
Either way, fuck off.
>>320726068
Megastones were being used since the Hoenn games, which happen the same time as the Kanto games.
Basically, they just retconned the Kalos crap so they could shill Megas more.

>>320719763
my game had blastoise on it so that's what I chose. He was also the first holographic card I got.
>>320719763
Whats smart about picking charmander?
Charizard is fucking shit.
Blastoise can learn Earthquake, Icebeam, and Hydro Pump.
That hits absolutely everything at least for neutral damage.
>>320726514

You're not fooling anyone.

I've always gone with the Grass starter for every Pokemon game.
It's just how I am really.
>>320727959
charizard is the most powerful gen 1 starter in gen 6
>>320727762
Strategy countered by having a simple ground type, something with magic guard, another weather inducer some multi hits or a will o wisper
>>320719816
Then why even respond, cunt?
>>320727121
>Ratata challenge
You gotta be kidding me
>>320726623
Well, paraflinching can be a legit strategy. A giant fuck you strategy, but it's inarguably Sky Shaymin and Togekiss's best movesets, since they have abilities that double flinch chance making it a 60% chance of happening in addition to the 25% Paralysis chance.
>>320728247
Yes, some people are autistic enough to play through the game with just a ratata without evolving it
>>320728521
Honestly if you're just using one pokemon it ceases to be a challenge when you get high enough level, you could do it with almost anything except a Magikarp (since he can't hit ghosts without Bounce)
>>320727970
I can't bring myself to evolve my Ivysaur, Bayleef, or Grovyle. Their final evolutions just look so fucking terrible.
Chespin and Snivy both have ugly second and third evolutions, and Turtwig is Turtwig-tier.
>>320725584
>charmander is hard mode because ineffective against Brock
Except anyone who isn't retarded just catches a mankey and destroys everything.
>>320729053
Have fun catching a Mankey in Red and Blue, dumbass.
>>320729117
He is in red you fucking retard.
>>320729279
Go look up what routes he's on, dipshit.
Besides, you're better off just using Ember because Geodude and Onix have shit Special/Special Defense.
Who cares, Digimon is better anyways.
>>320722992
>new canon
it doesn't work like that
>>320728851
>Turtwig is turtwig tier.
Unless you're implying turtwig is too good to go in any other tier you are wrong

Don't worry, I'm a genwunner so apparently I'm shit too. Jynx and Mr Mime are the only bad ones. I don't get the complaints against grimer, voltorb, or magnets.
>>320730953
Yellow is the game for kids who were too self-absorbed and conceited to play one of the normal games.
>>320730672
And Squirtle is the most effective.
In fact, most of the Water-type starters are pretty OP. They also tend have the toughest-looking final evos, with the exception of Empoleon, who is still pretty based.I like Samurott's design, fuck you
>>320730953
HOLY SHIT, PIKACHU!? Overkill, much?
>>320731246
>>320719763
I've always chosen fire starters up until gen 5 and then 6. The water type designs of the final evolutions are much more qappeqling to me in those gens.
>>320731495
>lol, I don't want to be some random trainer, I want to be Ash because I'm special :^)
>choose a starter? nahh i think i'll just have all three, I'm used to mommy and daddy getting me everything i want
Bulbasaur LOOKS the best, and so does Venasaur. So Bulbasaur is best starter.
Then there's Exeggutor, that boss. Best grass type ever. Best Psychic ever. Everyone should have him.
Grass type for life!
