>>51746845Chikorita is complete and utter shit in gen 2, you're handicapping yourself and making the game unfun to play.
It has a type disadvantage against SEVEN of the 8 gyms, plus horrible matchups against all E4 members except maybe Bruno.
Oh and TR uses a lot of poison types to boot.
Its movepool is atrocious and walled by even random shit like Zubats and early-game Bug shitmons. Its offense and speed are subpar so random Slow Frail Attackers (which gen 2 is full of) shit all over you with status and deceptively strong hits that Totodile and Cyndaquil lines avoid.
Then Kanto arrives and the only gym it actually is good against is Brock's (Misty has Lapras and Starmie who can tank anything Meganium does and hit back with Ice Beam).
Oh and it sucks for catching either box legendary in GS, which is probably part of the reason why the rather random Suicune was chosen as Crystal's mascot.
So how does Chikorita improve and eneich your experience with these games?
