Who can deny Charmander's (and Charizard's) awesomeness?
Easily the best Kanto starter. Not to mention that fire is a generally easier type to go with than the others.

I liked Bulbasaur

[Mystic]

Charmander :3

[Nayrman]

the answer to all starter questions is of course the fire type

Very true. But wouldn't a Grass- or Water-type be easier in the beginning of a journey in Kanto? Both are useful against Brock and Bulbasaur is useful against Misty (not to mention Squirtle being resistant at least), and Bulbasaur is resistant to Lt. Surge. Charmander is good against Erika though. But overall, Charizard really does learn the best moves, and the Fire-type has good strengths. I totally agree.

Anyway, I would've chosen Charmander for EXTREME SUPER AWESOME CLASSIC RETRO NOSTALGIA... but once I saw Pikachu... I just started feelin' the vibe. After all, I woke up as a Pikachu in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness (I didn't rig the test _{I did in the first game for Totodile though :/}). ANYWAY ANYWAY, I kind of chose Pikachu for the same reason as Charmander.

ily Bulbasaur but I have to pick Squirtle because he was my first and I thought you had to pick the starter that was one the game card D=

Last I checked, Fire was the difficult path with Grass being the first and Water being the second.

Overall that, Pikachu had the advantage over all Gym Leaders.

Pikachu had an advantage over....4 GYM Leaders.

Brock is Rock-Ground

Lt. Surge is Electric

Erika is Grass

Giovanni is Ground

NEW POLL.
Doit.

Hey JR.
The Rivalry is kinda self-explanatory.

Zangoose is a Mongoose and Seviper is a Snake right?
In India mongooses were used by the Indians to fight off poisonous snakes.
Snake Charmers also keep mongooses for mock fights with snakes.

This is the reason why Nintendo made them that way. They wanted to base it off of reality.

If you think about it further it actually made sense for them to do that.

Giovanni is an exception, but the rest to me are still null.

I don't count none super-effective damaging pokemon as disadvantages.

Zangoose: Cat Ferret Pokémon
Seviper: Fang Snake Pokémon

Also, the "rivalry" of reality is a Mongoose and a King Cobra.
I thought of that reason, but since he's not really a Mongoose and KCobra, it kinda confused me.

[Lotos]

Seviper has a cooler call in the anime.

[ThePowerOfOne]

Zangoose, because it always looked like an evil bunny covered in blood to me. And really, who wouldn't pick that?

[Gwen Khan]

Seviper

[Macawmoses]

Zangose. Crush claw rules <3
