Eevee should have been the only starter pokemon.
>Multiple evolution paths, meaning you can make an informed choice on how you want to use her
>Means you wont get stuck at Brock if you happened to pick Charmander,
>Cuter than the current choice of starters
Can she be bred? Like I mean is it like Pokemon Yellow where you can't use a thunderstone on Pikachu?
...
>charmander
>Stuck at brock
Ember is your friend.
>>Means you wont get stuck at Brock if you happened to pick Charmander,
In Gen 1 neither of Brock's pokemon know any Rock type moves. In Gen 3 Charmander learns Metal Claw. You're not stuck.
You could even get a Nidoran or Mankey
The prob is that Onix is immune to Charmander, so you're forced to grind a caterpie into Butterfag and beat him with all the PP in confusion.
>get stuck at Brock if you happened to pick Charmander
From what I recall from playing Pokemon over 20 years ago, you could easily beat Brock with Tail Whip and Tackle.
Onix has piss poor Special in Gen 1. As long as you're not a complete tard and attack it when it uses Bide, it's really not that hard to take down with Ember.
>Implying based Charmander had a fucking move like TAIL WHIP
OUT
even if you manage to grind and beat brock, Misty is bare unkillable using Charmander
this
plus the rocks can get burned which makes the fight even easier
>Means you wont get stuck at Brock if you happened to pick Charmander
Don't you have that backwards?
Normal is bad against rock, and even if you somehow evolve Eevee by the first gym 2/3 of the evolutions are bad for the gym as well.
Futhermore, all normal moves in gen 1 are physical, and all fire moves are special. Onix has high defense but terrible special so it still takes quite a bit of damage from fire attacks even with the resistance.
then catch and train some other pokemon, retard. it's not like you're stuck with only charmander up until misty
My bad I meant Scratch and Leer
Oh yeah man, I'll go out and catch a fuckin' zubat or a paras
The problem is Eevee is shit offensively her leveling skills are trash.
Wow hot take, lady, no one cared when the first 4k people said it
>You could even get a Nidoran or Mankey
It's 2020 and yellow tards are still revealing that they played the casual version of the game.
there's Pikachu in Viridian Forest
Yeah, if you want to go back and forth fighting weedles for 2 hours until you hit that 1% pikachu spawn
or, you know, a pikachu or oddish/bellsprout
dumbass
FR/LG has Mankey on Route 22, R/G/B has Nidorans on Route 22.
play a better game
I know you're exaggerating, but it's 5%.
Why should I have to catch a new pokemon before fighting the FIRST gym? Isn't the whole point of a starter that I can use it throughout the whole game?
There's also at least 1 grass type right above Misty's gym, normal types available before that, I honestly can't believe I'm reading a post bitching about difficulty in gen 1 I mean holy shit
I bet you also think Sabrina is the most impossible boss in the game simply because Psychic doesn't have a real weakness.
you don't have to and still have a pretty easy time with the first gym, and you can.
Who the fuck has ever played pokemon and thought "Yeah mate, bellsprout and oddish, theyre the ones"
>R/G/B has Nidorans on Route 22.
Okay, let me just grind for 5 hours for double kick. That's definitely the best way to progress past the first gym.
>genwunner thinks his retarded opinions matter
Oddish is cute and bellsprout looks cool in it's final evo.
faggot
>wow who would ever think to use a grass type pokemon with grass type moves against a water type gym
>stuck at Brock
>stuck in a Pokemon game
No matter what age you are there is no excuse for this
Now, maybe as an adult. But as a 13 year old kid getting pokemon for the first time and going in blind, how are you supposed to work that out?
you can pick charmander and still have an easy time against brock even if he is your only pokemon if you just keep using ember
So why are pokefags now pretending that the games were ever hard even for children? What happened?
I didn't get stuck as a 6 year old
I beat pokemon blue with charmander when I was 5. You people must be fucking retarded
>Means you wont get stuck at Brock if you happened to pick Charmander
You're not evolving your Eevee at level 12 dipshit, you'd be worse off with Eevee than Charmander against Brock, no different than trying to take him down with a Rattata or Pidgey, all Eevee knows at that level is Tackle.
>Geodude and Onix only know Tackle, Bide and a defense-boosting move, nothing super-effective to Charmander
>Ember still does half-decent damage and kills them in 5-6 hits
>R/G/B has Nidorans on Route 22
And they don't learn double kick until level 40-something, genius
