    EDIT: Torterra is pretty boss. Being able to have Earthquake off the bat makes is a big plus.

    Plus wood freaking hammer

    And where can you get Metal Coats so I can get a Scizor to do that shit for me? I think you get one from the SS Aqua...?

    You can also get them from the Athlete shop and from wild magnemites.

    There's four, silly.

    Which one is out, the retard dinosaur, or the "chilly breeze OHKOs me" turtle?

    Fuck you Torterra is the best grass starter.

    you mean after bulbasaur right

    Bulbasaur starts off cool

    And Ivysaur is even better

    Venusaur is lame though

    true that. sceptile is the opposite

    Sceptile starts lame and gets lamer.

    pretty sure gen 3 starters are a million times better than anything from gen 2. especially swampert. blaziken is kinda lame but eh. better than a weasel with some fire on its back.

    Oh good god come on. Swampert is a big ol' poop king sitting on a throne of poop

    Okay that does it, I'm coming back once my Pokemon are sturdy enough to not get 1/2-shot by Lugia.

    I also have a Champ's Path Bronzor and Duskull if you're interested

    lul

    I was considering naming Ampharos "Tager" or "Lascannon" (since Plasma Cannon won't fit and Plasma Gun sounds retarded), but meh.

    Speaking of which, should I go ahead and just phase Machamp out of my team since Togekiss has Aura Sphere to handle that burden?

    I'd ask if I should drop Tentacruel for Starmie's superior sweeping potential, but Toxic Spikes will kick too much E4 butt, methinks.

    When I don't have Earthquake or Stone Edge, he ain't much of a sweeper. Which reminds me I may want to level the No Guard Machop I got from Safari Zone to replace the one I got from the in-game trade.

    Once my mons have some more levels, I'll go back and catch Lugia. He can stall if I need combat healan, or I can just tear shit up with him as a last resort.

    If you have a no gaurd one, yea, replace it. And if your catching Lugia, your super close to a Earthquake TM. Its in victory road

    Gen IV has the best starters. They're all so useful. There's like...one starter from any of the old gens that still can hang with the big boys.

    3.
    Charizard ignoring the stealth rock issues, feraligatr who actaually became useful this Gen and Sceptile who lost a sword but gained a Kamehamaeha. Swampert and Blaziken can also hold their own though both are out classed by similar dual types in Gen4.

    Venusaur is still the most awesome of all though

    I'm kinda sad that Swampert was kinda debuffed with the 4th gen pokemon. The first time I used an Electric attack and it didn't work on him, I was :shock: until I found out why. One of those great Pokemon moments for me.

    Debuffed? It hardly suffered from the transition and electric attacks have never worked against it.
