The hardest choice of your life!
>>12479239I always pick gray.
My horoscope is a fire sign, so I pick fire. Simple as.
gen 2 wasn't a hard choice though.chikorita 4 lyfe
You need all of them for 100% completion anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Anyone who disagrees is a gay retard.And ugly.

it's the easiest choice in the game. why would not pick bulbasaur?

i choose koffing

>>12479239SquirtleTotodileMudkipPiplupOshawottFroakiePopplioSobbleQuaxly
Bulbasaur everytime no exceptions
>>12479323Because it's the worst of the three, with the most weaknesses and the fewest strong attacks?
>>12479851Fuck off, frog posting retard.
charmander is the only choice for normal straight white males.
>>12479249I'm a Leo, Sagittarius, Leo with a grand fire trine in my chart, so I pick squirtle.
>>12480057>job is to catalog every pokemon>doesn't start with #001
>>12479239I pick the fire starter every time, not a difficult choice. Now, NICKNAMING it...
>>12479239In gen 1 it really was a hard choice. All 3 are pretty great start to finish. Genuinely, they're so fun and perfect.Then the rest of the gens are pretty trash and you're better off boxing your starter, fuck GF for not just making these 3 the starters each time.
We just took turns and restarted one guy's game until we had starters for everyone
>>12479851Based
Why do you fucking retards insist on replying to this fucking guys threads. It's been like 2 years and you still fucking do it.
jannies sticky this thread NOW
>>12479851frog poster and knows the names of pokemon after the 3rd generation. I can smell the 3rd world from here.
>>12480269my babysitter at the time traded me his charizard and i was pissed he nicknamed it "TORCH" because i liked the pokemon being their regular names. but he helped me beat the final gym so whatevs
>>12480057Does it?Bug and Flying have awful attack distribution, Fire mons usually don't learn flamethrower until lv 50 (Vulpix being the only exception learning it on lv 35) and Ice is pretty much non-existent until Articuno/Lorelei.The only weakness Bulbasaur players have to actually worry about is Psychic.Also Fire's offense is garbage in RBY, Bugs stops being used by NPCs in the mid-late game, Grass becomes rare after Erika and Ice only has 5 lines, 3 of which being half water with the remaining 2 being the legendary Articuno and Jynix is only used by Lorelei.
>>12480772Venusaur will struggle offensively though, since it only learns normal and grass moves in gen 1. Grass moves also suck, doesn't get a surf/flamethrower equivalent. So things that resist grass will be a pain. Which was stupid too. Why oh why did solar beam need to take 2 turns? It could have been 120 pow 70 acc just like hydro pump, thunder, fire blast ect.
>>12481564Razor leaf crits every time, you don't need more
>>12481573at 55 pow that's still not that strong, it just puts it on par with surf if it does crit, which it doesnt crit every time.
>>12482332>it doesnt crit every time.you should try it
>>12479492Plebeian CHADS stay picking CHADMANDER and going straight to the POKEMON LEAGUE
>>12479239Not really. Charmander when I was a children. Squirtle when I was a teen. Bulbasaur as a man.
>>12482548>playing video games as a manshiggy diggy
>>12482332Due to the way the game is programmed, Venusaur's crit chance with Razor Leaf in Gen 1 is 125.04%. It will absolutely crit every single time.In addition to dealing double damage, critical hits ignore stat raises, meaning that Razor Leaf will hit through boosts from moves such as Amnesia. This makes even low base power crits quite meaningful.Razor Leaf is thus equivalent to a 25 PP, 95% Accuracy, 110 Base Power Grass-type move which ignores stats boosts and can't crit, coming off of Venusaur's 100 Base Special. This is a fucking great move, especially by Gen 1 standards. For comparison, Hyper Beam is 5 PP, 90% Acc, 150 BP.Venusaur also has very easy access to the Gen 1 glitched Toxic/Leech Seed combo, which is one of the most powerful status conditions in the entire series.A Venusaur with these three moves has an advantageous matchup against the majority of Pokemon in the game, even before considering what its fourth move is.Strong options for a fourth slot include Body Slam, Substitute, and Sleep Powder.

>>12479239>not getting yellow so you could just get all 3 starters.ISHYGDDT
Squirtle is the best but there are other water Pokemon that are just as good so I usually pick Bulbasaur. Unless it's a version where Charizard can learn Fly, then I'm tempted to use it as my flyer because I don't like any of the flying types in Gen 1.
>>12483116I just love stories like this of how broken Gen 1 actually is (I still love Gen 1 (and 2))
>>12483116>Due to the way the game is programmed, Venusaur's crit chance with Razor Leaf in Gen 1 is 125.04%. It will absolutely crit every single time.This is incorrect. It is not quite capped, it is just below 100%. It has a 1/256 chance of not criting. Charizard also benefits from this, as it gets Slash, getting a base 140 ATK move. Now, Venusur's will be STAB, which is 165. There are a lot of poison and flying type in Gen 1, cutting that damage right back down to 82.5. There's lots of combos that even take 1/4 damage from grass. I am not sure why you think Venusaur has an advantage against the majority. Looking at the Gym Leaders/Elite 4 Pokemon you have to fight, 35.849% resist grass, and that doesn't include quarter damage. Stuck to grass and normal really limits Venusaur. Dig would have helped it out, but it doesn't even get that. Here is where Venusaur truly sucks compared to Blastoise and Charizard though, it doesn't get Fissure. Blastoise is a bit slow for Fissure to be used well. Charizard is fast tho. So it has Slash, Flamethrower, and Fissure? This is amazing coverage that pretty much nothing stands in the way off in gen 1. One X Accuracy and Charizard is sweeping the Elite 4 teams, while Venusaur is struggling on Golbat.
>>12483998But it's still better put together than the game with three million Mays
>>12479239Game's easy anyway, doesn't matter
>>12479239Charizard sucked in the generation 1 games before special attack and special defense became split into two stats. So its either Bulbasaur or Squirtle, but proberbly more likely Squirtle because unlike Charizard. Blastoise actually benifited considerably from the special being all one stat and can learn ice-beam and surf for move versatility and use ice-beam to btfo grass types and dragons.
>>12484538Autistic genwunner here, every starter has its elite 4 road blockVenusaurs is Agatha, for obvious reasons. Charizards is Lance. Aerodactyl is his perfect counter and he doesnt like fighting dragonite or gyarados at all. Blastoise's is, funny enough, lorelei. You're fighting against 4 other tanky waters and jynx. But even still, with autistically specific sets like toxic rest he's gonna be OK.If you allow x accuracy they all sweep. Blastoise has fissure and blizzard for lance, charizard has fissure and fire spin, venusaur has sleep powder. Just make sure level up venusaur enough to be faster than gengar.
>>12487178>Charizards is Lance. Aerodactyl is his perfect counterHe doesn't have rock moves and his special is on the lower side, he doesn't counter Charizard that well at all. Gyrados is much hard for Charizard to deal with. >If you allow x accuracy they all sweepwhy wouldn't I be allowed to use items in a game Im playing?
>>12487708Well yeah you're not guaranteed to lose the fight is just kind of hard.>why wouldn't I be allowed to use items in a game Im playing?If you decide not to use them because you would rather not guarantee yourself a win.
>>12488259>If you decide not to use them because you would rather not guarantee yourself a win.If we're talking min-maxing like using the toxic-leech seed exploit, we can't leave out the x accuracy fissure one. It blows away Venusaurs strats.
I had to choose between continue living with my best friend whose spiraling mental health was overwhelming me and moving back in with my parents.
>most Gen 1 water types are cool>all Gen 1 fire types are cool>bulba is the only cool Gen 1 grass type

>>12483116R+B were so much goddamn funProbably two of the most popular and beloved completely broken video games ever if not THE most
>>12488279Fuck you. Tangela is great, and for some reason lost massive sp.def going into GSC.Parasect is also neat, Spore is legit. Sucks about the 3 X4 weaknesses though, like god damn they made bug and grass too similar.
