First time player here. Playing Fire red and picked Bulbasuar as my starter. Did I make a good choice?

bulbasaur is the worst starter for ingame playthroughs but the game is so easy it shouldn’t really matter

main game is easy, any Pokemon can be viable. Just go with whatever is the most fun

Nah, he's fine, he just falls off late game but early game is where most of the struggle is.

Do you like Bulbasaur the most between him, Charmander, and Squirtle?
Then yes.
If not then no.
Not that complicated.

As long as you eventually plan on catching pokemon bulbasaur is by far the best choice for early to mid game, by which time there are better fire+water types available than charizard/blastoise

Sorry I didn't know. I thought he was the best to choose from out of the 3.
>>55180052
I read the differences and liked the selection of pokemon in Fire red better. Syther, Arcanine, and Electabuzz seem cool will probably catch.

Yes. Bulbasaur is the best. He is a chunky plant Pokémon.

In game he is also strong against most of the early gyms and Venusaur is a good team anchor and condition specialist.

You're supposed to pick the starter on the box to take advantage of the in-game stat bonus mechanic.

In RBY the entire gym would just spam powders which doesn't work against Bulbasaur because type AI shenanigans. It was basically free EXP for any Grass types you brought in

Yeah Bulbasaur is the best. Anything that you can't beat with Vine Whip and eventually Razor Leaf you just put to sleep then switch into something that can. Sleep Powder and Leech Seed kill everything when nothing else works. There is nothing it can't do.

it’s dogshit against practically everything else because grass is a terrible type ingame. The gyms are so braindead that type matchups don’t matter.

>>55181937
This is a meme perpetuated by people who don’t understand how the game works. The actual ranking is squirtle - easy, charmander - medium, bulbasaur - hard.

All the starters are fine.
Bulbasaur is supereffective against Brock and Misty and resists Lt. Surge.
Squirtle is supereffective against Brock, and you can pick up a Pikachu from the Viridian Forest to take on Misty, or a Bellsprout/Oddish from Route 24 if you need a Grass-type.
Charmander gets Metal Claw at level 13 to deal with Brock, and you can do the above to deal with Misty.

The earlygame is the toughest part of Kanto, but all three starters have ways of dealing with it.

All three starters are equally viable in Kanto, it's the best balanced region alongside Sinnoh.

Bad shitpost? Infernape is massively more useful than either of the other two. Because the only other fire type you can get in the game is rapidash. Conversely there’s plenty of Water, Grass, Steel, and Ground mons readily available that can do as well or better than the other starters. Nothing exists like that for Infernape - the clear best choice

6 pokemon on a team
2 types per mon at most
12 types in total at most
17 types in the game
There is always going to be types you don't run, fire can just be one of them. Also grass and water are more common than fire in every game
