>>21451699Roark can be difficult. Platinum is difficult. That's why people like it. If you don't like it, then that's ok.
Also, all the starters have a type advantage over Rock; Chimchar evolves at 14 for this reason.there's also Machop and Psyduck right next to the town. Git gud
Btw the reason 1st Gyms are so often Rock is exactly because Rock resists most early game types. This gives the player a crash course in type effectiveness and forces the player to try out moves that aren't Tackle etc.
