>>49431860But why, WHY did they make treecko way worse than the other 2? Consider how they all match up against the gyms
>Roxannetreecko is pretty good here but slightly worse than mudkip due to being frail
>BrawlyThe other 2 are better but brawly is negligibly easy so I'll ignore it
>WatsonGrovyle is walled by magneton and is more heavily crippled by paralysis than the other 2, meanwhile the other 2 both sweep easily
>FlanneryGrovyle is weak to fire and frail while the other 2 resist fire, are bulkier, and get access to super effective moves
>NormanBeing the frailest severely hurts here, and both the other 2 are more suited to take him on, especially since combusken is fighting type
>WinonaAgain, weak to flying, walled by skarmory, combusken is arguably as bad here but Marshtomp sweeps with ice beam
>Tate and LizaHe's ok finally, but Swampert is better
>WallaceThe ONLY gym that sceptile is the best option against.
It's just shitty balance, there's no reason to use sceptile over other grass types and especially not over the other 2 starters. It's easy to just use other pokemon but he's so much worse than other choices that I gotta ask: what gives? Maybe don't be an insufferable prick who screams "UUUUUHHHH POKEMON IS LITERALLY THE EASIEST THING IN EXISTENCE???" In response to anything and instead listen to the point I'm making.
