Rules (adapted from Fire Emblem RTUs)
- Votes need some explanation regarding their gameplay performance to be counted. If somebody else said what you want to already, quote them explicitly. You can troll a bit, but no CATERPIE HAS STRING SHOT 10/10.
+/- ≤1 point extra regarding personality/appearance is encouraged, but no more. If you exercise your bias privileges, please do so explicitly.
- Votes are made out of 10. You cannot rate a pokemon above 10 or below 0.
- The rating topic will be updated whenever I feel like it, but I will try to allow at least 24 hours for each topic. They will generally be updated at around 10 PM EST.
- A pokemon being inferior relative to another pokemon does not explicitly reduce their rating.
- We are rating ingame performance only, up until the Elite 4 is beaten the first time.
- Evolution lines get condensed, so treat Bulbasaur/Ivysaur/Venasaur all as one pokemon.
Okay, Bulbasaur. He's pretty good. Does great against the first two gyms, and he's still good against Surge, but starts falling off after that, not having a good matchup again until Giovanni. He's okay against Lorelei's water pokemon and Bruno's rock pokemon, but not so good against the remaining members. He's slow, but has useful status moves and is there all game like the other starters. 8.5/10
