If you had to pick one starter for the rest of your life which one would it be and why?

charmander

Charmander ofc, set fire to things easy.

I always pick Charmander.

In the original Red/Blue, slash was broken and crit 100% of the time so when charmeleon learns it, rest of the game is easy. Plus you could easily beat the game using only your starter.

You can beat red/blue with a rattata its not exactly challenging by any stretch of the imagination.

I was referring to having one irl as a larp. Would you want a fire lizard a turtle that shoots water or grass turtle with vines that can whip things?

I think I'd still want the charmander. Would be helpful when camping having an "unlimited" fire source to keep warm and cook food. Also just having him as protection with the fire and claws and whatnot.

I've been watching and enjoying these lately.

Squirtle without a doubt.
