Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle?

Atavan-Halen · 11-01-2010 11:52PM #1

So, now that we have the forum, let's get some pokémon discussion going

We've all been faced with this choice: Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle. Who did you pick and why? I used to always pick Squirtle because I could beat Brock easily with him.

Always bulbasaur!

Atavan-Halen · 11-01-2010 11:57PM

Hehe, yeah. I have several gameboys and all pokemon versions so I did it

Craguls · 11-01-2010 11:58PM

Charmander all the way!

pikachucheeks · 12-01-2010 12:00AM

I said charmander, but I think my real pokemon preference is obvious!

Atavan-Halen · 12-01-2010 12:02AM

But you can't pick Pikachu at the start :P Unless you have the yellow version, but that's different

Charmander evolved to get Seismic toss.

/thread.

I always pick a water type on my first playthrough. Chose Squirtle just to match my version and ended up with a blue GBC as well.

Brother chose Charmander, it was great. I always picked Charmander when I felt like starting again with a bit of a challenge at the start.

Picking Bulbasaur never felt right.

Bradles! · 12-01-2010 12:20AM

Squirtle all the way for me. Just because Squirtle is my favourite Pokemon. Rarely choose a water type in any of the later versions.

Tricity Bendix · 12-01-2010 12:23AM

Bulbasaur 4 life.

elekid · 12-01-2010 12:25AM

Squirtle, he was the cutest plus I had Blue so I wanted to pick the one that would evolve into Blastoise. I used to store the starters in Pokémon Stadium and restart to fill up the Pokédex.

Ash got to have Pikachu at the start!

What other ones were in it?

Tar.Aldarion · 12-01-2010 12:41AM

Softboiled? A rare healing move at the time.

I think Charizard would also have been a pretty good final team member

stick-dan · 12-01-2010 12:48AM

I always chose bulbasaur, i loved the way he defended everyone in the series. he was so cool

Professey Chin · 12-01-2010 12:48AM

Had the Yellow so got all 3 :pac:

It would go Charmander,Squirtle then Bulbasaur for me though

Me too, Bulbasaur everytime for the first play through, because he looks had as nails and when he learned vinewhip he was strong!

Always had him in my Final 6, but then, I could never let go fo my first no matter how many times I played through!

I was like 9. I picked Charmander because he could shoot fire.

Crumble Froo · 12-01-2010 01:29AM

squirtle, largely because i just loved all the water ones.

except magicarp. man, he was annoying.

Davidius · 12-01-2010 01:39AM

Magikarp was deadly. Lure your foes into a false sense of security with a million splash attacks until you run out of PP. Then you can flail them to death. :pac:

That or you could leave him at the daycare until he learns tackle or gets to level 19. But that's almost as bad as using a gameshark, training a Magikarp all the way to 20 is a badge of honour!

Gunmonkey · 12-01-2010 02:20AM

Went with Bulbasaur meself, loved the little fella. Razor Leaf was vicious with its high crit chance (or was that implemented by then??)

And imagine facing a lvl 100 Magikarp...you would be "OMG what do I do, what moves could he have??"

jd007 · 12-01-2010 02:41AM

Charizard was fire and flying type, the others were only one type weren't they? Charmander FTW though even if I am wrong!:P

I think the Bulbasaur family is Grass/Poison.

Blastoise has more going for him in my opinion. He has cannons for shoulders, you can't really compete with that.

Nope, Venusaur (and Ivysaur and Bulbasaur) are grass/poison. Which is why he's great, sleep powder is a poison move.

Edit: damn, too slow
Also leech seed as well as sleep powder and poisonpowder are why bulbasaur was my choice.

I'm sure theres a place where ya can catch level 35 magikarps, train em up one and the bring on the Gyarados!!!!!

ALways Squirtle for me, cuz he's a turtle, Like Michalangelo, Raphael, Donatello and Leonardo

pikachucheeks · 12-01-2010 02:49AM

I feel really intimidated by the amount you all know about Pokemon!
I'm such a phoney!

:pac:

Shameful question really (and I could google it but meh) but having a bit of a blank.... charmander....something...charizard.
WTH was the name of the intermediate evolution??
