Actually, speaking on the starters of Gen one, Bulbasaur was statistically the best choice if going off type alone because the first two gyms are weak to grass
Grass also resists Electric, so Surge is in trouble Grass resists Grass & Bulbasaur is part Poison so Erika is dead Koga Has Poison, which Poison Resists so Bulbasaur is neutral actually Giovanni’s Ground & Rock Types are doomed against Bulbasaur So, in conclusion, Bulbasaur actually only struggles against 2 gyms, Sabrina with Psychic, & Blaine with Fire. Every other is either weak or neutral to Bulbasaur. However, you definitely can have many other Pokémon to use by the time you deal with Sabrina & Blaine, so yeah, Bulbasaur is the best.
6:28 at first I thought Marowak was pissed because Double Kick wouldn’t do ANYTHING to the Onix. I’m now realizing it’s probably because he can’t kick at all.
My first ever choice was Charmander. But after beating the game and playing it multiple times, na G. Bulbasaur was where it was at. He was easily the strongest at the first couple gyms, especially being able to use leech seed. And by the time you got further you already had a team. And let's not forget his solar beam was basically 💯 on accuracy. Fire blast and hydro pump, man that was tough. Though flame thrower was man ish. Not to mention though, at some point you gotta check em all. Lol, sorry bout that.
Actually gen1 you would be better with Bulbasaur really. Leaf are good against rock, water, electric and insect/poison while only week to fire and ice. That means the advantage on the first 3 gyms, plus a 4th one. And only being weak to the second to last gym, where you must have a Pokémon that knows Surf to reach to.
Scorpion could have solved the problem just by visiting Sub Zero and punching him once. Sub Zero would just faint, and the dizziness would have ended 🤣
nah, squirtle is only good against Brock while bulbasaur is good against Brock and Misty, and is also resistant to Lt. Surge and is immune to being poisoned by Koga.
"No diversity in attacks, all grass" Bruh my man Bulbasaur learns normal type moves, grass moves, poison moves, can learn Bide from Brock early game, and other TM moves outside of grass
you CANT catch a fighting type that early in the game, that’s why charmander is considered hard mode, because you don’t have access to anything strong against Brock (except oddish but oddish is kinda trash anyway) until after the first gym
@@AceTechn0 In the old games, you can go to the Route that leads to the Indigo League (one of the places where you fight Blue), and there's a patch of tall grass where you can catch a Mankey
