queston about starters?

Actually stat wise the starters are fairly weaker than a whole lot of other Pokemon. They are just a bit more balanced and less specialized.

Actually, to the contrary, at the base stat total of 525, Starters are actually in the higher echelons of power.

Quite far above the general average of ~450.

That said they're not exactly pseudo-legendaries.

Jerry, the starters shouldn't be found in the wild. The starters should be special and not catchable. A good idea is to fight them but not to catch them. Thats the magic from the starters. They are strong, uncatchable and it evolves hard. If you can catch them, you should give us a weedle as starter. Dont destoy the starter poke magic. 

   From what I understand, we'll be able to choose from all starters from every current Pokemon game. Why not have an equal number of random "normal" pokemon to choose from just in case someone wants to start with, say a weedle, instead of a charmander?
   The magic of a starter is to choose a pokemon that represents your personality. What if my personality is a bellsrpout and not a bulbasaur? I just think we should have the option, is all.

If you want to start off a Bellsprout or Weedle, you can still catch one and store your starter in your storage system. No one is preventing you from doing that.

I think every single Pokemon should be a starter.
Every single one of them.

What a great idea.
I should be on the dev team.

Why do so many people think it's a good I idea? I now see why it's a bad idea and it would make the game take longer to come out.

Give it up meowth, I tried proposing this idea a long time ago. No one takes it seriously unless you can explain it better. But no matter how you explain it, it's not going to happen. Besides, chimchar fits my personality the best anyway, so it's not all bad.

Thank you for clearing that up for me. They always seemed so much weaker.

Uh hello? i was saying it was a bad idea.

Yeah, I can see how it's a bad idea from a technical standpoint. In a perfect world, picking any pokemon as your starter would be possible.... although, in a perfect world, pokemon would be real. lol
