To the guy who advocates using only one starter: I don't think you like pokemon games. At all.
I get it if you have picky tastes for pokemon, but the clinical, detached way you speak about all of the games, obsessing over the "optimal" and "right" way to play and then lecturing other people for not doing it right, it just makes me think that you're not exactly happy whenever you boot up a pokemon game and start mashing. It seems to me that you don't care for the setting, the plot, the characters, the puzzles, the boss fights, the battles, or even other pokemon. And if that's the case, then the only real reward to playing for you is the experience points, racking up exp to get to the next level. I'm not saying its bad to like levelling up, but people get the addiction of numbers going up confused for happiness. If short term reward is all you ever get out of pokemon games, then I can see why you have such a hard time understanding players who use other pokemon. Optimizing RPGs down to the math can be a vapid and soul-draining experience. I want to ask you if you have any fond memories of pokemon you had with you on any game, or atleast found memorable outside of battle viability. Were you at least attached to your starter pokemon?
