>>44944341Fire sucks in-game. Most games never give you any reason to keep a Fire-type around, since Flying does what Fire needs to do early and Fighting or Ground can do what Fire needs to do late. Sinnoh is the only region where you want to pick the Fire starter every time, since Infernape is also your go-to Fighting-type.
