Blue wouldn't have a Gyarados in this playthrough, as he'd have Blastoise...

[@10.lorenzo]

Okay, I would like to point out that there are a few sub-optimal move choices on the PVE team you proposed. 1. Don't teach Charizard Strenght. Zard's attack is mediocre at best and a Normal-type move doesn't counter any of his weakness either. Instead, tach it Dragon Claw, which, (in combination with Flamethrower) guarantees that Zard will always have a move that does neutral damage or better that takes advantage of his decent special attack. 2. Once you get Strenght, teach it to Primeape. Mega Punch has the same Base Power but less accuracy and, as you said, you will need a HM04 user. 3. Get rid of Seismic Toss on Primeape as soon as you get Bulk Up. Seismic Toss is a 3HKO most of the time. Instead of wasting those turns using a move that does around 30%-40% each turn, boost with Bulk Up for 2 turns and OHKO the opponent on the 3rd one. If that doesn't work, you should have switched Primeape to another mon to begin with. 4. Get rid of Bite on Vaporeon as soon as you get a 4th decent move to teach it (Protect to Toxic stall, Rain Dance to boost Surf's power, etc.) While Bite offers super effective damage against Pyschic and Ghosts, Surf will do more damage thanks to STAb even on a neutral hit (142>120). The only relevant exceptions that I can think are Starmie (which Raichu will take care of better), and Exeggutor (which is covered by Vap's Ice move and is handled better by Charizard anyways) Overall, not a bad video, just wanted to give my thoughts on it.

@@lcuffy9890 that's like saying that literally any pokemon is the worst because it has three different weaknesses, I could talk about how with correctly built IV's, a well chosen held item and a versatile moveset Charizard can cover all of its own weaknesses and be a complete monster which is hard to take down unless you have a rock type which has a higher speed stat which is unlikely due to Charizard's crazy high natural speed -- but I don't care that much 🤷🏻‍♂️ Charizard is Charizard, a character in a game and opinions are opinions, not fact. Mystic isn't right for saying it's the worst and I am not right for disagreeing with him, such is life.

[@goncalomonteiro8395]

NEPSMG I think Charizard is the worst strater to pick in kanto (I still pick him though) but is the best kanto starter for kalos and in competitive play after gen 6 because of the two megas. I like using Mega Charizard Y and Venusaur in double battles because of the drought ability and Venusaur´s hidden ability chlorophyll and pretty much destroy everyrhing in my way. In singles I use Mega Charizard X with Dragon Dance and Flare Blitz. I like all Kanto starters but Charizard and Venusaur are my favourites. PS: Blastoise went downhill after Gen 6

I am playing leafgreen with a charizard I have to admit metal claw helps me not regret my decision but charizard turns out to be a monster when you train long enough.

[@nathanschuster269]

Some thoughts/suggestions Maybe dragon claw>Strength or dig Gives charizard another move to use its high special attack with and can help against lance Also for primeape cross chop>Seismic toss Aerial ace could be another option too for coverage against erica and other fighting types As said for the Blastoise team if playing with version exclusives perhaps Electabuzz>Raichu as electabuzz gets thunderbolt by level up, has a stronger thunderbolt than raichu, is faster and can learn some moves that raichu cant Also megahorn>thrash on Nidoking Lastly Brick break>Seismic toss on snorlax.

[@Vrinara]

I am not one of those people who says "OH CHARIZARD IS THE BEST KANTO STARTER!" People who say that are dumb. Each starter has their own thing to them. Venusaur: Bulbasaur is cute and Ivysaur looks cool. Venusaur is a badass pokemon, and the first starter I chose for my playthrough of pokemon dark violet (Which is an amazing hack of Fire red.) I am currently playing with Venusaur, Nidoqueen, Espeon, Rapidash, Kingdra, and my final pokemon will be Dragonite. Venusaur is also the easiest to level out of the three, and if you give it an amazing moveset, it can be a badass... Sadly though, I am not a fan of Mega venusaurs design.. Blastoise: Blastoise in my own opinion is the most overrated start in Kanto, That doesn't mean it's a bad starter. Blastoise out of all the starters has it easy, but it's about the middle road for the game. Squirtle and Warturtle are both amazing, and I do like Blastoise. I just find it to be the most over rated pokemon compared to charizard. For my team on Blue version I had, Blastoise, Alakazam, Arcanine, Dodrio, Raichu, and Rhydon. Charizard: MY favorite Kanto starter and the first pokemon I ever chose for my journey through Kanto. I always liked the designs for the Charizard line, mainly because they felt simple and who doesn't like a fucking dragon.. It's too bad though that he's not Fire Dragon, but hey what can you do. Charmander is the hardest starter to level up, and I like that. Makes it a challange. Charmander will always be my favorite starter of Kanto. My team when I am going through a Kanto game (Such as Red, Firered) are, Charizard, Nidoking, Jolteon, Lapris, Golem, and Gengar/Alakazam (just depends). While charizard is my favorite kanto starter, It's not my favorite starter in general. That and I feel gen1 is overrated as hell despite growing up with it. (Johto is my fav)

For someone who dislikes charizard, you sure built a damn good team around it. I had fun using this team specifically thanks.

[@PrinceJayReal]

I think it's wrong to say Charizard is the worst not because I'm some Charizard fan, but because you have to consider what other pokemon you can get. Fire and flying are really valuable types, and the other options around Kanto are really lackluster in this regard. Now you get two in one. Meanwhile, I think Starmie and Vaporeon are simply better than Blastoise, and you can easily find mons that cover up what grass types give you. Grass is only good against water, ground, and rock which can be handled by a water type(which you'll need anyway for surf) and a great electric type like Jolteon or Raichu(which you'll probably need for flying types), and is weak against common poison and flying types. Charizard, Starmie, Jolteon/Raichu already covers like 11 types on STAB alone with powerful attackers who can out speed basically everything you'll face. Off the top of my head, Charizard, Starmie, Jolteon, Nidoking, Hitmonlee, and Haunter cover every type in the game off of just STAB except Dragon, throw ice beam on Starmie or use a Vaporeon with aurora beam and replace Jolteon with Raichu.

[@smaragdchaos]

Well, Charizard in his own regard is definitely one of the best fire-types in kanto, sure, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's automatically that good amongst everyone. Fire-type is easily forgettable in gen 1 because Fire-type matches poorly against things, as it deals only with grass, bug and ice types super effectively. Those few types you can handle with better flying types such as Dodrio or Fearow, and in case of ice types you can just exploit their secondary typing, or just use hard hitting fighting-type move or something along those lines. In gen 3, fire types do deal super effective damage against steel types, but the problem is, since the remakes are still heavily gen 1 oriented, steel types are extremely rare. Flying types are still better since in addition to grass and bug types, they do destroy fighting types and do not have quad weakness to rock or weakness to water. That being said, Charizard is definitely not the worst starter, Blastoise would rank worse considering the fact Blastoise is easily replaced with almost any water type in the game, and grass-types have pretty horrible STAB moves in gen 3, so using them as sweepers is somewhat frustrating to do and not everyone likes stalling (C'mon, seriously? Stalling against NPCs?).

[@PrinceJayReal]

Some very valid points, but my Charizard is never gonna be going up against rock types or water types. That's what the rest of my team is for. I agree with you on Blastoise, but what does Venasaur even give you? It beats water types, but I feel like an electric type is almost necessary for flying types since rock types are so slow other than late-game fossils. It beats rock and ground types, but so does the water type that you basically *need* to have for Surf. Given that electric and water types are necessities(at least in my eyes), the other two become pointless while Charizard covers your flying spot combined with the speed and special attack to sweep with ease.

[@smaragdchaos]

Well, you're correct. All of the starters are honestly really superfluous and easily replaceable with any other pokémon in the game, but at least Charizard does provide some sort of diversity the other starters don't have. Honestly, the only perk Venusaur really has is that he's better than both Victreebell and Vileplume, but seeing how Vileplume at least gets Petal Dance whereas Venusaur is stuck with a shitty Razor Leaf for STAB attack for most of the game, he's not really winning by a large margin, and Overgrowth as an ability is really useless on someone who constantly drains HP through Leech Seed and/or Giga Drain and likely uses Leftovers. At least Vileplume has Chlorophyll, and like you said, grass types are easily replaceable with a combo of a water and electric type, especially those that can combine both types into one, namely Starmie and Lapras. I myself prefer to run Charizard, the first gym is overrated, it can still be easily wrecked by Ember and/or Metal Claw and the second one can be owned by a lvl 26 Pikachu with a T-Bolt easily, before I bench it for Jolteon in Celadon. A really good thing I enjoy about Charizard is the fact that Charizard gets Dragon Claw, which lets Charizard hit Kingdra super effectively during the second round of E4, since Kingdra is only weak to dragon types in this game.

Also, bit of feedback for future videos... Please mark tutor moves as you go. Because this is a video, it’s really hard to skim back through it later and you obviously don’t have a text version of the team in the description (which would be be handy too). It would be great being able to check whether I need to keep an eye out for tutors as I go (it’s very easy to walk past the mega punch tutor as you limp out of Mount Moon, thinking it’s another trainer battle you don’t have the health for only to realise you’ve hit Cerulean City and can’t get the tutor again until you have fly to return and then either retread Mt Moon or maybe surf possibly? Just saying if it were known that it’s a tutor move and not a level up move, I can be more careful. :) Anyway. Good guide. Just wish I didn’t need to write so many notes as I watched. :P

[@Frosty_Saiyajin]

@@southpaw3559 after the physical special split, i would be wrong, yes. But in gens 1-3 dragon was indeed special, so were water, fire, electric, grass, dark, psychic and ice type moves. Physical was ghost, normal, fighting, flying, steel, ground, rock, bug and poison if I remember correctly. Gen 4 introduced the physical/special split, which made some moves physical and some special, regardless of the type.

[@eonshade6297]

If anyone needs tips for their starter see my comment. In this case, we have charmander as our starter. Recommended nature: Lonely, Naughty, Mild, Rash Optional nature not lowering defenses (Adamant) Recommended moves: - Swords dance - Aerial ace - Earthquake - Overheat/Fire blast This is probably the best possible nature for Charmander and this is why. Even thought Charmander has a way higher sp atk than atk, it doesn't learn many special moves uppon level up (Fire moves, Dragon claw/Outrage and occasional hidden powers). It can be tutored quite a lot of moves in the game like Double edge and Rock slide, but Aerial ace and Earthquake are good enough To balance out the stats I used an adamant nature to boost the attack and slightly lower the sp atk which isn't going to be too noticeable since overheat makes up for the sp atk drop. You can also use a Naughty nature to lower sp def and boost atk if you want, but I personally wouldn't sacrifice defenses in order to boost an attacking stat. Hope that this has helped some of you with your teambuilding :) Edit, actually, Adamant is a really bad nature for Charizard considering it is a mixed attacker. Naughty, Mild or Lonely is preffered over Adamant for maximum attack power

[@mightyflame4570]

Thanks so much

[@darthrevan5035]

The best nature is timid because it lowers it weaker attack state and speeds it up so it can out speed and one shot most pokemon

[@jonathanryan9946]

Wow, someone forgot that Charmander learns metal claw at lvl 13 if Fire Red/Leaf Green. You can pawn the entire first gym with that alone because Charmander will be faster and thus strike first. Mankey is just needed as backup. Charmander can usually defeat 3 of the 4 pokemon 99% of the time due to this. It's just onyx that has a 50/50 odds of defeating it at lvl 13 (probably 14 by the match with onyx). If you get Chamander to evolve to Charmeleon at lvl 16, the match is usually 95% odds of Charmeleon winning all 4 fights. In Red/Blue/Green/Yellow the first gym was way tougher with Charmander... but not in Fire Red or Leaf Green.
