Got any mupkipz?

I just said I went with the Fire starter, Torchic, in Ruby, so obviously I don't have a Mudkip, and I don't care how many times I've heard people say you like them.

I know nothing of pokemon, I just exploited the opportunity for an overused meme.

I'm aware.

True story. I've always stuck to the Water starter, except in Ruby / Sapphire where I went with Fire. And Yellow, where you have to start with Pikachu.

Might go with Grass in Black and White. Pig and Otter don't look that cool.

It's funny you should say that, because Swampert is a beast in competitive battle. He is so overused no team dares not have a viable Swampert counter. He is also frequently used as a lead.

Ah, the good old days when Psychic was a powerful type. I remember catching a Caterpie and spending an hour or so grinding till I could evolve it into a Butterfree and then leveling that Butterfree to 12 so it could learn Confusion. Wouldn't tackle Brock without it.

Eh, I find Rock Pokemon to be sorta meh for the most part.

Rock Pokemon do gain that x1.5 sp. defense boost in sandstorm during the fourth generation. However, they still aren't that great; although Ttar is still a fucking beast, and is ability to whip a sandstorm automatically upon release means is sp. def shoots up immediately.

I usually caught a Mankey and used it against Brock; though my starter would be evolved at that point so I could even take out his Pokemon with Charmelon.

I'm aware of the competitive side of Pokemon, but when I play, I go along with Pokemon that I like. Butterfree has horrid stats but that didn't stop me from using it throughout the entirety of gen 1.

Blaziken was cooler than Swampert, thus Torchic was the logical choice. Gen 2 had crappy starters overall, though.

I've fallen into some incomprehensible mirror universe.

How so?

I'm such a Pokenerd even my roleplay character has a Pokemorph line-up, in the case I play her as a trainer.

If you used anything other than Bulbasaur for gym trainers in 1st gen, you're retarded.

Bulbasaur was fool's gold. While it was super effective against the first two gyms, and resistant to electric attacks in the third gym, overall it was a failure. In the first generation, Psychics were uber powerful, and having that psychic weakness meant Bulbasaur would go home with it's vulva sore.

Bulbasaur, powered by plants, barely pulverized Beedrill, Poison Bug Pokemon, but paled bitterly parallel Butterfree, pollinating Bug Pokemon.

Yeah, but by the time you're past the first two/three gym leaders, you have more pokemon that are decent against the rest COLONROLLEYESCOLON

ALPINE EDIT: I mean, water/fire, bug and normal types against rock? Add rock types to that against water?

My typical endgame team for first generation:
Blastoise (with Hydro Pump, Surf and Bubblebeam!)
Butterfree / Kadabra / Haunter (generally Haunter)
Articuno (with Toxic, for some reason)
Raichu (with Thuder, Thunderbolt, Thunderwave... and Mega Kick)
Hitmonchan (with Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, Fire Punch and Mega Punch)
Moltres / Ninetales (with Fire Spin and Fire Blast!)

It's been so long, but...

Rarecandied 255 Venusaur
Rarecandied 255 Mewtwo
Rarecandied 255 Moltres
Rarecandied 255 Articuno
Rarecandied 255 Zapdos
Rarecandied 255 Missingno

Is probably what I used because fuck tactics.

As it turns out, using Rare Candy to level up your Pokemon can fuck up their stats. Fucking EV's.

As long as they end up being huge at 255, I don't really care.
