Your Starter Pokemon

[signal]

when does the game actually come out?

[crozza159]

Rule 1: Never ask when the game comes out...and also, this is not on topic, please stay on topic for future reference.

If typlosion is better Stat-wise than charazard, than It better have RS, TP, or SE. Otherwise, Charizards kill with EQ.

[St. Jimmy]

no growlith as starter! i forbid it!

I second this notion.

The team has decided to only make the actual starter pokemon starter pokemon in the game.  If you made growlithe a starter pokemon, then you would have to make a bunch of other pokemon starters as well, like eevee or poochyena.

[aqua999amazing]

eevee WAS a starter for a game though...right

[TrainerX]

It was a starter in Yellow, but you never got to use it. They're only using the grass, fire, and water starters.

[Chad29]

Make all the Psuedo Legendaries starters! That will really spice the game up. Just kidding. We don't need to start with a pokemon that evolves into something with base stats totalling 600.

Your starter pokemon is the most important in all the game. With him, you will catch the pokemons that are opossed to his element. If you will be an element trainer will not help but you need a lot of pokemons of a single element to catch one that is again, opossed and higher.

Example:

Fire < Water          Fire > Ice                               Look:
Lv. 60  Lv. 60        Lv 60  Lv. 60                      Fire > Water - Fire beats water. Why? Levels.
                                                                  Lv. 80 Lv. 30

On that note, not all pokemon with a type disadvantage need to have a high level to be able to beat another with a type advantage. There are pokemon in such situations able to get the win

[Wire]

If the type itself is weak against the opponant the attack they might have are strong against the opponent so whatever floats your boat.

[TrainerX]

It all depends on stats, moves, and move types. Just because a pokemon is a higher level than another pokemon with a type that's good against it, it doesn't mean that the first pokemon would win.

like if you have all electric type pokemon and your opponent has all ground, and the electric pokemon are stonger than the ground pokemon, the ground pokemon will still win

[St. Jimmy]

Not always true.

Elektross can pawn most ground pokemons. You need to know how to build a team to cover your weakness...
