Charmander
Have a water type, and a bug which is basically a grass type that has different weaknesses. Also, I had no idea Geodude could learn Flamethrower. Go figure. :/
Geodude
Right before Misty, so...gonna help clear Surge, and then probably Blaine and help with Koga. Not gonna do much against the other leaders, but definitely a good choice. Too bad I don't get a Golem. I predict he's going to end up falling behind around the E4.
Pidgey
Early game bird. Basically the first thing I'll see. Definitely nice to have, but since I'll get Charizard, probably won't make the E4 team.
Ghastly
One of my favs. Best moveset ever: Psychic, Shadow Ball, Giga Drain, Thunderbolt. But will probably have Hypnosis instead of Psychic and something else in place of Giga Drain so that Venomoth and Jynx have some moves.
Jynx
Another fav, I used her a lot in 1 and 2, but after that kinda fell out of my team, and I got really disappointed she didn't get an evolution with Magmar and Electabuzz. I usually pull a Lovely Kiss-Mean Look-Parish Song set, but I don't want to end up stalling much here (even though Geodude would probably be able to help with it) so it's looking like a Lovely Kiss, Shadow Ball, Psychic, Ice Beam set. I'll be the one who ends up gambling his life away. Too bad you can't get Smoochum either, cause that means no natural Psychic moves. What's up with that?
Vaporeon
Pretty good too. Coming in around Erika, so that's not great. Iron Tail/Dig/Bite/Surf. Eevee is my top favorite, but Litwick dethroned it. :/
Venonat
One I've always thought about using, but never able to fit into my team. I mean, it looks good on paper. Poison/Bug with Psychic moves like Butterfree, but no 4x weakness to rock or Ice. Gonna have to grind it to 52 so it gets Psychic without a TM. And I don't get a good poison move till Sludge Bomb which is after the E4 too. >_> Bug needs to be the move relearner too. (Silver Wind) Has Aerial Ace though.
And with that I'm off, Charmander. Playing Fire Red too. TOTALLY DIDN'T PICK GIRL. Turbo button is just as good as Running Shoes, and take a potion to kick Gary GREEN's butt....And Charmander is female. Didn't even need the potion.
BLAHBLAHBLAH GET YOUR OWN DAMN PARCEL BLAHBLAHBLAH GRINDING BLAHBLAHBLAH FOREST BLAHBLAHBLAH Kicked Brock's butt. why does pidgey not have gust till 9 ;_;
Pidgeotto: Did nothing so far. Just sucking up EXP. Needs to get to a better typing zone and will probably pick up.
Charmeleon: Like a boss. Smash and burn baby.
