Let Be Honest On Pokemon if you picked the leaf pokemon...

[The Unknown Hype]

you were pretty much putting the game on hard mode until you found some better pokemon. plus that yellow version back in the day was bullshyt with that pikachu that never wanted to take a thunderstone

 

[Responsible Allen Iverson]

Leaf was easy mode.

 

[Tryna Makit]

this nikka tripping Bulbasaur smashes Brock, Misty, And Surge went down pretty dam easy with even a mediocre one.

 

[Don Dada F Poppa]

picking a fire pokemon (Charmander on the OG Red/Blue) was probably the hardest, you were trash facing Brock and Misty back to back. Once Charmander evolved though

 

[HookersandIceCream]

That was by far the easiest of the three

 

[Silkk]

Anyway id always take Charmander or Squirtle. Get me a pikachu and a butterfree in viridian forest and be

 

[Ohene]

Leaf was easy mode.

Squirtle was easy mode nikka

Water dominates the rock pokemon and goes tit for tat against misty. Squirtle progresses quite easily too. Even in the wild...Squirtle could easily battle the shyt leaf.ground pokemon.

Even if Leaf was Squirtles weakness...leaf pokemon in the wild were generally weak.

Fire was probably the hardest.

 

[Silkk]

Bout to DL Fire Red in a min and a couple other shyts

 

[Ohene]

Blastoise with Hydro Pump will kill ANY pokemon

I only lasted about 1 day with chikarita in crystal.

We gonna act like pikachu as a starter in Pokemon yellow wasn't some bullshyt? I didn't know rock was Immune to electric at first so I was crying at my game boy like "why is his geodude not getting hurt?!"

 

[GambinoMakeItWork]

it goes Water (Easy), Fire (Medium), Leaf (Hard)

Bulbasaur and his evolved forms are by far the weakest of the three.

 

[The Unknown Hype]

bulbasaur was so shytty to me I can see how he would be good against the first bosses but later on leaf was just so weak in general. I could deal with the fire and water cuz the damage was good and they looked cool. oh and at yellow making me have to actually go and train a bug pokemon to get passed the first gym

CHIKARITA WAS WOAT GRASS TYPE

I remember way back when I first got yellow I spent hours training Pikachu in an attempt to beat Brock, got him to like level 20 and still couldn't do it but yeah, you pretty much had no choice but to train Caterpie to a Butterfree for that Confusion. As soon as I beat Brock, Butterfree's wack ass was thrown in the PC bushes
