>>58880901>People who claim the 3 starters are 3 different difficulty levelsI mean, in the softest sense it still is true.
>Bulbasaur gets one of the meanest tricks you can pull against the computer in Leech Seed at lv7 (and gets the effective instant kill against Rock/Ground at lv13 with Vine Whip)>Squirtle gets its win button equivalent at lv8>Charmander has to wait until lv9 for Ember, which, while effective, is still considerably less so than what the others getSo the choice is, do you funnel a considerable amount of your earlygame experience points to your starter lizard (which is understandably what a lot of people do), or do you rely on something else in your party, like Sand-Attack on Pidgey to make Tackle and Screech miss, or Leer or Tail Whip on Rattata or Nidoran to weaken Onix so you can chip it with some Normal moves.
