Is picking Bulbasaur picking Easy Mode?

Is picking Bulbasaur picking Easy Mode?

Playing pokemon is picking easy mode

No but it means you have shit taste, as he is the worst starter of Gen 1

>trashes the first two gyms thanks to type advantage
>evolves earlier

Why are you asking dumb questions you know the obvious answer to?

that's not charmanditt

came here to post this

Squirtle is the true connoisseur's choice.

Charmander is ffor major plebs and bulby is just for retards

>No way to get the Johto starters or box legends in FR/LG

He trash after misty

Bulb is the only good looking grass type. There are a gorillion good looking fire types and more than enough water types.

>Suicune

You're a casual and a pleb if you don't abandon your starter Pokemon immediately

yet gets stomped later and there's a shitload of grass/poison types

>Bulb is the only good looking grass type
Not when Treecko and Chespin exist

This is why Pokemon Colosseum exists.

It's an 'early game will be easier but you'll have troubles later'.

Squirtle is good for gym 1, not 2, and goes on to be good from then on.
Charmander is bad for gym 1 and 2, but goes on to be really good for the remainder.
Bulbasaur is good for the first 2 gyms but loses steam, especially against Psychic/Fire later.

So, yes. Int erms of difficulty, it goes Bulb > Squirt > Charm.

Squirtle a best.

In gen1 ya dingus.

But theoretically, if you're playing the game for the first time when it released, you won't know that the first two gyms are vulnerable to Grass, you won't know that Bulbasaur evolves at an earlier level, and you may not even know about type advantages at all at that point.

I mean, when you look at those things, it definitely looks like it's supposed to be easier, but a new player won't know that, and only an experienced player would. So if it actually is intended to be that way, GF would have had to predict that babbies would mostly pick Bulbasaur.

Good fire-types in gen 1: Moltres, Arcanine, Flareon, Ninetales, Charizard

Good water-types in gen 1: Starmie, Lapras, Tentacruel, Vaporeon, Gyarados, Slowbro, Blastoise

Good grass-types in gen 1: Venusaur

and that's why bulbasaur is the objectively right answer

Pretty much the only gyms You can't handle with Bulbasaur alone are Sabrina and Blaine. So yeah, Bulba is going to have the easiest time in the game

Fire is always easy mode

Fire - easy
Water - medium
Grass - JUST

You don't know anything about easy mode.
Faggot.

You could also get them in Emerald.

By the time you pass your second gym you should already have a team developing. You really dont run into a problem with bulba until much later anyways
Plus he has type advantage over the last gym, and Gary will get charizard. Not only is he 4x weak to rock but there are a ton of great water pokemon in the game. Lapras is handed to you

>implying fire isn't an objectively shitty type in gen 1

Literally all of them are trash.

Bullshit. This was true in original red but charmander can learn metal claw now. All starters are ezmode.

Squirtle is quite easily one of the three worst starters of any generation.

well in that game, charmander gets fucking metal claw really early, so

>Single handed sweeping Pika Cup in Stadium 1 with a level 20 Starmie

Felt great

Came into the thread to say the same thing.

Charmander is the worst though.

Bulbasaur is a solid choice since he was the only cool grass Pokemon in gen 1. I mean who would rather have Charizard than Arcanine? Faggots, that's who? And water Pokemon were everywhere, you could use Vaporeon or some shit over Blastoise.

>he doesn't know about flamethrower/dig/bodyslam arcanine

>Is picking Bulbasaur picking Easy Mode?
The most difficult starter? No.
>bulbasaur - very very easy mode
>squirtle - very easy mode
>charmander - easy mode
Those are the game modes for pokemon.

I remember picking him when I first played red. He was pretty over leveled by the end and ended up carrying me through most the game.

Vileplume at least had Petal Dance.

Bulba does work against the first two gyms but it's level up pool is terrible in Gen I/III so you'd end up having to build a team around it.

Squirtle is the best for in-game use, but water types are aplenty and there are many better than Blastoise.

Charmander struggles hard vs the first two gyms, but also against Giovanni. Gets access to powerful moves though so it balances out

>forgetting exeggutor and victreebell

Are you some kind of faggot? Did you even play the games?

Is it autistic to breed for the right nature in these games?

>there are people ITT who only powerlevelled their main starter and ran a one-pokemon team

absolutely disgusting

Well theres victirebel and vileplume that are both 3rd stage grass pokemon that share the same exact type.
Not to mention, that grass isn't the best type in the game. Most people have water and electric pokemon on their teams, and they get the same coverage as grass

yes

>forgetting about this pussy destroyer

I picked Pikachu

No one forgot about them nigger, no one likes them. Gamefreak didn't figure out how to make grass cool until gen 3 or so

>that kid who beat Misty with nothing but a Charizard

Will you do what it takes to win and be a master?
It isn't autistic to do that.

Well, fuck you. I traded the parents to my Sapphire to make it go by faster, and now I've got a Calm Slowking and a Modest Ampharos to challenge the Elite Four and Trainer Tower with. Next I'm going for Forretress.

IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO MICROWAVE THIS?!

Hi! I'm Jory Caron; and this is: Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?!

Today, we're going to microwave OP's stupid fucking post! Will it microwave? Let's find out!

Here at Jory Caron Enterprises, safety is our #1 concern. That's why we have this aluminium shield on our door, to protect our nuts.
Because NOBODY likes roasted nuts.

I'm going to go ahead and pop this in the microwave for about 2 minutes, because that's how long OP's status took me to realise how much of a fucking autist he is.

(Microwaves OP's opinion)

WOAH! Just as I thought! OP's opinion burns amazingly!

I guess it's true what they say about shit; it really DOES light on fire!

I'm Jory Caron, and this has been: Is It A Good Idea To Microwave This?!

Didn't one of the devs say Squirtle was literally playing it on easy mode compared to Charmander?

Exeggutor and Vileplume were slow pieces of shit with horrible movesets. Victreebel is maybe the only competition, and he's a paperthin piece of shit that dies in one hit. Venusaur is the clear superior here.

Exeggutor is one of the best pokemon in the game you doublenigger

Blastoise is the true easy mode in gen 1
>mega kick
>hydro pump/surf
>earthquake/dig
>blizzard
>fissure
>submission

It literally destroys most gyms and elite four, while Venusaur only learns toxic and shitty grass and normal moves.

i remember this show

it was dumb as fuck but had a charm to it

>I have no idea what I'm talking about

>that kid who had a Charizard before the first gym

Let's get this shit out of the way.

Blastoise > Venusaur > Charizard
Typhlosion > Feraligatr >>>>> Meganium
Sceptile > Swampert >>>> Blaziken
Infernape > Empoleon > Torterra
Serperior >>>>>> Samurott > Emboar
Greninja > Chestnaut >> Delphox

Yes, but if you're planning on entering the world of turbo autism that is the competitive Pokemon community, it's necessary. Well, that or Powersaves.

>the only cool grass Pokemon in gen 1

YOU BEST NOT BE TALKING SHIT ABOUT VILEPLUME YOU COCK JUGGLING CUM DUMP

I used to battle competitively on Showdown and have over 999:99 hours logged into Pokemon Blue. Try me fagtron.

>earliest third stage
>doesnt have to deal with type disadvantage until sabrina
>immune to psn
yes that is the idea

>Serperior >>>>>> Samurott

fuck off

Vileploom is gay

Thats me every gen.
Ushally ended up with a lvl 80 starter without even grinding end game.

Also pokemon yellow was some hard shit cause of this.

God I miss this show.

WHY NO MORE EPISODES?!

I hope not
I feel like its better to waste time doing that, than to waste time training a pokemon then realizing you have a shitty nature.
I feel like the extra boost helps the pokemon reach its full potential

Samurott is shit, deal with it

>Feraligatr >>>>> Meganium
A thousand times this.
Meganium a shit.

lol

exeggutor has access to psychic, dream eater, and explosion, and victreebell performs the sleep powder -> swords dance -> body slam strat far more efficiently than venusaur

why is my nigga blaziken supposedly shit

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Greninja that high
>Delphox that low

Nigga it should be
Chestnaut > Delphox >> Greninja

In the originals, yes.
I've never been fond of the type advantage argument because Bulbasaur's first grass move is Leech Seed, which doesn't care about type. You have to do extra grinding to get Vine Whip and by that point you're so overleveled nothing really matters.
The real reason Bulbasaur is easy mode in gen 1 is due to Sleep Powder and dumb sleep mechanics.

Pokemon is trash.
Played one, played them all.

none of the gen6 starters were any good, especially compared to previous gens.

its pokemon, there's no such thing as difficulty

if you ever find it hard you can just grind more until you steamroll everything

You can say this about any franchise or even any genre.

because its anthro furbait
also the dedicated "badass" pick of every 12 year old
theres so many ways they couldve done "fighting chicken" better than "red human with a beak and claws"

Greninja is easily the best gen 6er. And gen 6 starters were overall far superior to gen 5.

Combusken had the perfect design going and Blaziken fucking ruined it. He was the Samurott of gen 3.

Psychic is the only valuable move out of the ones you listed for Exeggutor. He has a terrible grass moveset. You're either getting Mega-Drain or Solarbeam. Ontop of that, he's a slow piece of shit. Venusaur and Victreebel both had access to 100% critical chance Razor Leaf in gen 1.

Victreebel has good Attack, but his defense and speed are lower than Venusaur's. Venusaur could pull off a swords dance sweep just as well as victreebel, and was much better at leech seed/toxic stalling.

Venusaur is the clear superior here.

>gen1 grass pokemon aren't cool

Bulbasaur is for casuals

Thanks for proving his point.

You aren't getting in MY gym anymore, bitch

>not dropping all your pokemons for a whole team of abras as soon as possible.
Pyschic is OP as fuck in Gen1. I think only two moves are super effective against it, one is super shit, and the only pokemon that use them also have poison as a subtype making them easy fodder for the psychic.

Bulbasaur is the best starter.
Means you get to use one of Gyarados/Lapras/Slowbro and Arcanine for that god tier core.

...

>Psychic was so OP that starting in G/S practically everything learns a dark type move to fight psychics

>charmander
>first two gyms are a challenge
>rest of the game is piss-easy

>squirtle
>entire game is piss-easy

>bulbasaur
>entire game is piss-easy

beyond the first two gyms you will have a diversified team that can deal with any type of enemy, and the AI is retarded anyway so you will pretty much always end up stomping your way through the game without even coming close to defeat.

>not just having a team of Golbats to confuse everything to death while you drain their life to heal yourself
pleb

O SHIT ITS A PIDGEY

>worst typing both offensively and defensively
>only has an advantage for the first quarter of the game
>lowest base stats of the 3 starters
>next to worthless in the elite 4
>terrible moveset

Are you kidding?

...

...

You shouldn't try to be good at a video game.

That would be autistic.

In gen one:
>Bulbasaur
Strong against 3 gym leaders, weak against 3, neutral to 2

>Squirtle
Strong against 3 gyms, weak against 2 gyms, neutral to 3

>Charmander
Strong against 1 gym, weak against 3 gyms, neutral against 4.

Squirtle seems like the easiest starter pokemon, it doesn't have as many weaknesses.

Gloom a shit. Fight me.

They wanted you to buy Colosseom silly.

>Charmander
>weak against 3

Against Lt Surge you won't have Charizard yet so you won't be weak to electric. And against Giovanni you will have Charizard so you won't be weak against ground anymore.

Nature control is easy. I.v breeding is the real autism stomping ground.
