That’s a weird looking Charmander
Everyone knows that Charmander was the starter of the bullies.
Look, if you don’t wanna get flamethrowered, stop being so flammable.
Charmander was the flammable one!
But was he inflammable
I'll never forget the look on my brother's face after he was talking all kinds of shit about his level 100 venusor that he maxed out with duped rare candies when I one shotted it with my level 50ish Charizard
Charmander: bully
Squirtle: likeable funny guy
Bulbasaur: bookish/nerdy type
And yes, bulbasaur is the best
Bulbasaur is also the most interesting aesthetically (the whole evolution line)
And also the most likely to allow you to effortlessly curb stomp everyone in the first two gyms, and be resistant to the hat worn by everyone in the third. By then you're likely to have diversified your team significantly.
As a bullied kid that back then just wanted a cool dragon, I protest that insinuation!
He said "cool" dragon. Which is gyarados
Oof. No wings or limbs, evolved from magikarp. I think you need to reassess cool dragons.
They are a cool fish monster tho.
Spoiler
I am aware and mostly shitposting but I want to thank you for your effort to educate me. People like you are good for the internet. Now back to shit posting.
So Gyro taste like sushi?
The heavens will punish you in time, blasphemer 😤
For double smite ima eat gyrodos sushi off of a Pokémon trainer’s naked body in an underground club.
Evolving from Magikarp makes him objectively the coolest dragon. Started from the bottom now we're here.
The lack of actual Dragon typing does sting, though.
They'd have been so good as water/dragon Q_Q
Gyrados is the Drake of dragons.
Nah, in my head he's a chinese dragon.
Fun fact: When choosing my starter for the first time, all I knew about Pokémon was: "It's a game I saw someone play at school once and it kind of looked like an RPG and I love those!" I genuinely just went with what looked cool to me and had no idea there were "actual" dragon Pokémon.
Also +1 on dom@lemmy.ca noting, that Gyarados is the cool dragon in Gen1
Gyarados has never been a dragon type
Haha. My story is similar I wasn’t super early to Pokémon but I had a deep love of early final fantasy games so I jumped right to it on gameboy. I was the perfect age.
I don’t remember who my original starter was. It could have very likely been Charmander, I know bulbs is the one that I’ve used on every subsequent play through of gen 1
Pretty much the exact same story here, only my obsession was more with PC-DOS RPGs like Ultima, Wizardry, Goldbox games, thanks to my father and older siblings influencing me there.
show me on the doll where the dragon rage hurt you.
Enjoy making pidgey spam sand attack against Brock.
