  Look, if you don’t wanna get flamethrowered, stop being so flammable.

    I’ll never forget the look on my brother’s face after he was talking all kinds of shit about his level 100 venusor that he maxed out with duped rare candies when I one shotted it with my level 50ish Charizard

  Charmander: bully Squirtle: likeable funny guy Bulbasaur: bookish/nerdy type

  And yes, bulbasaur is the best

  • SolarPunker@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Bulbasaur is also the most interesting aesthetically

      And also the most likely to allow you to effortlessly curb stomp everyone in the first two gyms, and be resistant to the hat worn by everyone in the third. By then you’re likely to have diversified your team significantly.

  As a bullied kid that back then just wanted a cool dragon, I protest that insinuation!

      He said “cool” dragon. Which is gyarados

        Oof. No wings or limbs, evolved from magikarp. I think you need to reassess cool dragons.

        They are a cool fish monster tho.

        NOT A DRAGON TYPE!

      Fun fact: When choosing my starter for the first time, all I knew about Pokémon was: “It’s a game I saw someone play at school once and it kind of looked like an RPG and I love those!” I genuinely just went with what looked cool to me and had no idea there were “actual” dragon Pokémon.

      Also +1 on dom@lemmy.ca noting, that Gyarados is the cool dragon in Gen1

        Gyarados has never been a dragon type

        Haha. My story is similar I wasn’t super early to Pokémon but I had a deep love of early final fantasy games so I jumped right to it on gameboy. I was the perfect age.

        I don’t remember who my original starter was. It could have very likely been Charmander, I know bulbs is the one that I’ve used on every subsequent play through of gen 1
