"Bulbasaur is the easy mode" has to be the biggest fucking meme I've seen this fanbase perpetuate
I finally tried playing Red while picking Bulbasaur (I only ever picked Charmander or Squirtle before) and it's complete garbage because it doesn't even get a proper offensive STAB until lv13 so you're forced to go through all of Viridian Forest just slowly spamming Tackle, and immediately after Brock you're in Mt Moon and Nugget Bridge with multiple Pokemon that quad resist Grass because it's such a shitty type offensively. Even for Misty Charmander is unironically better because by the time you get to Misty you'll be so overleveled type match-ups stop mattering anyway
