>>48501830Yeah either way you're getting a tough battle, you just get to choose whether it's doubles for singles. I wanted to go for a "national park" type feel like Johto and reuse the sweet fountain.
Torchic starts with Rock Smash (60BP, same effect)
Treeko gets Cut (60BP, Bug Type, can flinch)
Mudkip gets Strength (60BP, increases both defense stats)
You'll still get the HMs normally but the starter choice will determine what areas you can access early.
