The only other fire type in the region is fucking ponyta
this is plat, so you at least have the option of Flareon (shit but cute af) or magmar (also shit+trade evo) or houndoom (actually really good)

other than roselia there aren't any usable grass types really, so i think its more like infernape>torterra>empoleon

emp has the best typing of the three imo but has a shitty level up movepool and there are so many better water types like tentacruel and gyara

We really need to take Chimchar. Standard pokemon strategy is the Fire/Water/Grass defensive core, and Infernape is the best fire-type in the game.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Yeah, and we'll fight the first champ with a freaking bidoof because pretty much any other pokemon we can find before is weak to rock.
Go for Turtwig \o/

I agree. Get a level 100 Bidoof (not Bibarel. Only Bidoof. Do not evolve it) and then rekt the Pokemon Champion

This is probably the game where the first gym is the easiest for all the starters other than maybe the monkey bullshit in B/W?

budew, psyduck, abra, and lol magikarp are all not weak to rock. there are options lol

not that it matters cause chimchar learns mach punch at 14 when it evolves, which removes rock weakness and gives it STAB.

I've had more trouble with piplup soloing roark than chimchar soloing roark cause lol bubble has 20 power

He wants to catch the legandary pokemon. I'm up with that.
I kinda feel like I'm missing something important, though...

Image
Ok who is this man and why is he getting all the spotlight

Image
This sounds like one of those RPG hero monologue.
He must be the hero of this game.

Image
no u

Image
I think you just want your own spotlight.

Image
Hell yeah, it was!
Even though the cry kinda sound... mocking. I wonder why, though.

Image
Oh, now you caught on.

Yes, ladies and gents. We are missing Pokeballs.
P-O-K-Accented E- balls.

Fuck this, let's go to Sandgem Town.

Don't mind him. I don't know that man.

Image
Hello it's me.

Image
Actually this is your greatest mistake.
You left your chimchar to ME

(If your starter evolved before talking to Professor Rowan, he gets surprised that your starter already evolved here.)


Image
Let's nickname our Chimchar and tell MafiaScm what to do next.

So far 1 vote on Hiplop.

hiplop sounds good to me. I suggest we name all pokes after scummers.

IIRC you can get pokeballs at this point (and Dawn gives you some for free). I vote we buy 10 pokeballs, 2 potions, 3 antidotes, and 1 Paralyze Heal with our money (should add up to the 3k we have). I also suggest we catch a bidoof for HM slaving down the road.

If you throw pokeballs right at the start of a fight until each Bidoof is caught, it will take on average 15 pokeballs to catch 5 of them, which is exactly how many we can buy. It's destiny.


You should buy 7 pokeballs and then 8 pokeballs so you don't accidentally get a premier ball though. That would ruin the whole destiny thing.
