@ShadowWolfTJC Год назад

I've traditionally been a fire starter fan, since they were often both fast and hard-hitting compared to the other starters, which made breezing through trainer battles all the less stressful, and they could often continue to pull their weight later in the game, either because their fire-type moves were effective against rarer types like steel and ice, or because they had some viable secondary types like fighting or psychic type. That, and I could often find some viable water and grass type Pokémon in the early game, such as Gyarados for Pokémon Red/Blue.

I once tried to use bulbasaur because everybody says is the best starter. worst choice ever, bulbasaur is weak/resisted against almost everything in the early game, every bug catcher, lass or whatever are full of pidgeys, bug-poison, plant-poison, poison-flying or psichic pokemon. in top of that rocket grunts alway have zubats, drowsies, grimers or koffings. first offesive stab attack bulbasaur is vine whip which only has 10 PP so every 2 or 3 battles bulbasaur has to relay again on tackle, and if yo try to make a balanced team poison typing of bulbasaur always mess up that balance. having adventage on the first two gyms does not make up for all the cons of bubasaur

@GRSZiik Год назад

Fire tends to be great for a starter too because Water and Grass types tend to be more readily available early. It usually takes 2-3 badges before you can catch any Fire types, much less a useful one

@roxienatura Год назад

While it’s true that fire is rarer, the main issue with Fire in Gen 1 is that you really don’t benefit much from the Fire type at all. Teams usually have to have a flying type anyway (for Fly), which are really common, and Flying covers bug and grass types already. Ice types in this game are almost all water types, so Fire doesn’t help against them, and Steel didn’t exist then. The type unfortunately got obsoleted almost instantly in Gen 1.

I think you underestimated Rowlet utility. You have to remember that untill he evolves in Decidueye he is also a Flying type and even after keeps the Flying coverage. So going he is neutral in the first trial, strong against the first Kahuna, then strong against Water, weak against Fire, strong against Grass with Flying moves, strong against Olivia, resist the eletric one, strong against Ghost with his stab (also weak but still), weak against Nanu and resisted by Dragon, although he can use the Flying coverage against Kommo-o(and also neutral against Fairy if you play USUM, the Ghost type meaning he doesn't have to much problems agIainst Ribombee ) and then strong against Hapi. Incineroar meanwhile has no advantages in the Mele Mele trials, is weak against the Water trial that is the earliest of the Akala trials, neautral against the Fire one, strong against the Grass one, weak against Olivia, mostly neutral against the Electric one although i will admit is strong against both of the totems, strong against Ghost, neutral against Nanu, resisted by dragon, weak against fairy and Hapi. I can still see you giving the edge to Popplio since being strong against all the Kahunas is a big deal, although i will still argue Rowlet being better in the early game due to him getting stab from the Flying coverage while Popplio doesn't with the Fairy coverage untill he evolve, and being strong against two of the Akala trials while Popplio is only strong against one. Popplio is slightly better against the Normal trial but only if you face Raticate so half of the games. However i strongly diasagree with Rowlet being the worst as you implied, i think is at the very least the second best.

@joshuaespinoza2117 7 месяцев назад

While I do agreee that Rowlet is a bit underrated in Gen 7, its still the worse starter. Some of the advantages it has are iffy like the water one. In the ultra games, the totem pokemon has aurora beam which basically destroys any grass type. And while evolving into ghost can be helpful. It usually isnt too useful. Especially since ghosts types just arent great in Alola since so many important ( and non inportant ) trainer's have dark type moves ( seriously try playing Gen 7 with only ghost types and you will realize how many pokemon have dark coverage ). Overall while i will say that all three alolan starters are decent. Incineroar just has a more consistent typing ( and plus fire types are a bit scarce in alola ) and Primarina basically decimates the game.

Whenever I rewatch this vid I think how they made Chikorita as a filler starter for grass because she just lost to 98% of the game content by default. It doesn't help that the animal group she was in didn't allow her to learn the elemental punches from golden rod, then her not having poison as a secondary meant you couldn't even free farm team rocket without care.

iirc, the gen 1 starters were essentially pseudo-difficulty settings. Charizard had a harder beginning, but got higher stats and could evade the extremely prevalent ground type. Blastoise could crush the first gym, and didn't suck against the second. Venusaur gets to just steamroll, but they're weak to psychic and flying, meaning they're screwed when up against Blue at the end (Blue has 3 counters to Venusaur, and only 1 counter to Charizard/Blastoise) Ultimately, the best option is still Bulbasaur. Since water types are just so common (you even have Mt.Moon Magikarp immediately after Brock) Blastoise is kind of pointless. Charizard is especially worthless since its endgame "finally he's good" is offset by Moltres existing.

@cameronlapp9306 Год назад

It's worth noting that Fire type starters are also preferred because it's usually difficult to get more fire types, especially on early routes. It's often trivial to get alternate Water or Grass pokemon if you didn't pick them: they also have a lot of overlap against ground & rock cave pokemon so you can often use either equally. Fire types are also super effective against early bugs (where grass are weak against early bugs & flying).

@cameronlapp9306 Год назад

I think the only non-starter fire type you can get before a first "gym" is Growlithe: you can get it route 2 in Alola, or first route (201) in Sinnoh if you specifically do dual-slot with FireRed.

@yorecf9641 Год назад

@@cameronlapp9306 you can also get Growlithe before Falkner in Crystal, Ponyta before Roark in Sinnoh, Simisear before Cilan if you pick Snivy in BW1 and Growlithe or Vulpix as soon as you enter the Wild Area in Galar. Also, I wouldn’t say that fire types are always the best just because they’re rarer: some regions like Kanto and Hoenn are incredibly unfriendly to them so you’re better off just not using a fire type period.

Meh I still prefer Squirtle to Bulbasuar.. 90% of the trainers you fight throughout the game have either Bug, Poison or Flying pokemon. Bulbusaur is too much of a slog to tear through them. squritle can also learn way better moves like water gun, dig, mega punch, and bubblebeam early.. Then the very reliable surf and ice beam..

@MrCat73 Год назад

Bulbasaur is not weak to bug or poison and there is no flying specialist. And there are way more water types to choose from, any water type can learn surf and icebeam

@DolphyBlueDrake Год назад

@@MrCat73 In Gen 1, Bulbasaur _is_ weak to Bug due to Poison being weak to Bug in Gen 1. One Leech Life (only 20 power in Gen 1) will do an uncomfortable amount of damage to Bulbasaur in Gen 1. Bulbasaur may not be weak to Poison, but in Gen 1, the only damaging moves its line can learn are Grass and Normal moves. Its Special is significantly better than its attack, and Poison resists Grass, neutering Bulbasaur in that department. All the Cue Balls, Bikers, and Rockets have Poison types. Also, the Bird Keeper trainer type is all over Kanto, so Flying is a type you have to deal with a lot, even without there being a specialist.

Besides there are way more water options, there are 14 other water types to choose from so you can easily find a replacement, as for bulbasaur i suppose the only other option is exeggutor because of the psychic type. Squirtle has no advantages until the end of the game with both Blaine and Giovanni, and of course it is good against Brock but so it bulbasaur. Also does it matter that blizzard is so op it is not even available until you have 6 badges.

@DolphyBlueDrake Год назад

@@MrCat73 In Gen 1, there is only 1 Water-type with a better BST than Blastoise: Gyarados. And I'm not going to spend a bunch of levels babysitting a Magikarp. That's not fun in the slightest. Exeggutor has a higher BST than Venusaur, so it makes a perfect addition to many teams if you need a Grass type. A Water/Fire/Grass core is not valuable in Gen 1 because the Fire-type itself is trash. Doesn't resist Ice yet, no Steel to resist, no Flamethrower TM… And if there's no use for Fire (believe me, Fire is garbage in Gen 1, even with things like Arcanine having ridiculous stats, they'd do even better if they weren't Fire). But in the end, I just like the Water starter in every generation the best. I will never pick anything besides the Water starter now that two of my brothers pick the other two every generation.

For the Galar starters, I actually think that either Grookey is the best pick. It hangs on against the first two gyms while your team is still in development, and Corvisquire, a Pokemon that almost everyone uses, is enough to solo the grass gym by itself. Also, Marnie’s Morpeko which you have to battle before the fire gym takes quite some preparation to defeat, since you have little to no super effective coverage on it, so your starter (most likely your strongest Pokémon at that time) would be your best option, and Thwakey resists electric. As for the fire gym, you can catch a wild Drednaw in the mine after the water gym which crushes the fire gym. It’s already evolved, so you can use it temporarily for the gym and then box it without having to raise a Chewtle if you don’t plan on using it. Then from that point on, you’ll have a way stronger team and more options for team members.

Minor correction: In the first two games of Generation 1, you cannot catch a Mankey before you fight Brock. he earliest you can find a Mankey in Red (where he's a version exclusive) is Route 5, south of Cerulean City, and an NPC won't let you go past Pewter until you have beaten Brock. In Yellow, Mankey can be found on Route 22 just west of Viridian City, but only in that game and likely because the developers knew you would need SOMETHING that was relatively powerful against Rock-types.

In my opinion type advantage isn't the most important, but whether or not any Pokemon could replace that starter Venusaur is one of plenty Grass type Pokemons, especially Grass/Poison Infernape however is one of only two Fire type Pokemon in the entire Diamond/Pearl Pokedex, as well as a Fighting type a pretty good typing for the region, meaning he almost needs to be chosen as Torterra and Empoleon has decent substitutes

@door-chan Год назад

Still, a grass type keeps being just plain better, whether it's bulbasaur or not, since it does well in the first 3 gyms (resists electric) and you can't get grass types before beating the first one. Charmander continues to not perform well in the first 2 gyms, and for the fourth one you have a bunch of flying type options you can use for it so you don't actually need a fire type, fire types just don't do well in kanto, then for squirtle it is at first but you can get a really strong water type before the second gym in gyarados. You have to think about how the progression in the game goes, not just if you can use a starter or replace it with something else.

@---ce7gq 6 месяцев назад

Nah, I think this has more to do with a very square view that people tend to have of "party building" in pokemon. You shouldn't try to fit reality into a predetermined vision, but rather adapt to existing needs and challenges: Fire in the Kanto region has almost no function (considering the gym leaders, the elite four and the villain team), making the discussion of "how to replace the fire starter" absolutely pointless. In fact, the trio Venusaur, Jolteon and Jynx is enough to land super-effective hits on 90 per cent of the region.

Ok-- Empoleon is NOT ugly. I love my giant penguin boi- He's so regal looking~ But, I gotta agree that he's not the strongest in the beginning of the game. Although, when it comes to later in the game, because he's not the best in the beginning, you actually end up being decently over leveled by the time you get to the Elite 4. Not to mention, Empoleon can learn the majority of HM's that are pretty strong combat wise, such as Surf and Rock Smash for a couple of examples. While, I believe, the other two can learn Rock Smash, Empoleon is the only one that can learn Surf. Admittedly, I never played through Pearl with the other starters, as I had the stupid idea in my head that water wasn't as weak to grass as the others were to their opposing types. So, I picked it based on what I thought would be best against the rival. Got my ass kicked multiple times at that first grass gym, though.

@wook5676 4 года назад

I agree and when people say one starter is the "worst" I don't agree also even though it may not be good in game and when people hate on the design I definitely disagree and I still love the starter matter how its design and gameplay os and I also love Empoleon

Also with Infernape, there's practically no good fire types until you get surf and go past the windworks where you can get Magmar

@douglasmcintosh464 9 месяцев назад

A big balancing issue, is that fire types are rare compared to grass and water. And there are as good water types. And grass strengths are covered by electric, fighting and again water. And you can find good electric and fighting types easily. They should add more stronger fire types earlier in the game to balance thus out.

@DaDestroyer1986 Год назад

Torchic learns Peck the same level it evolves. When it evolves into Combusken, it learns Double Kick. That bodies the first two Gyms very easily. And Blaziken is best for later in the game and the Elite Four.

@yorecf9641 Год назад

Peck is too weak to even be worth mentioning. Double Kick is better for Brawly. I’m also not sure how Blaziken is better later in the game when it’s weak to the final 3 gym leaders.
