I have threatened to end relationships over my unshakable affiliation to Charmander. I have an enshrined collection of Charmander goods in my bedroom. Charmander is the definitive best starter - nay, the best Pokémon. I feel so strongly about my answer here that I am willing to put my job on the line. Just like the dragons will soon scorch the earth in Westeros, Charizard will rain down fire on all who stand in his way.Īnd it all starts with Charmander, the little dude whose TAIL IS ETERNALLY AFLAME. You know how I know that? Because he eventually evolves into bigger, better, badder-ass Pokémon, culminating in his final form, Charizard, a glorious winged beast that uses attacks called Flamethrower and Fire Spin. People in the world of Game of Thrones underestimate Daenerys Targaryen at their peril - because, y'know, she can control dragons and walk through flames unscathed - and I certainly wouldn't fuck with even a baby dragon, which is basically what Charmander is. And as an analytical person, I can appreciate Griffin's argument I was all about putting together a balanced team when I played Pokémon Blue back in the day.īut the reason Charmander is a better choice than Squirtle or Bulbasaur is an elemental one: FIRE. Look, all three of the OG starting Pokémon are objectively adorbs. Have a coconut drink while Venusaur gives you a back massage with his vines, you goddamn amateur. No Pokémon is an island, says Ben - unless you are talking about Venusaur, who is actually a private island resort. The only dumb and ugly things here are the words that just came out of your mouth. Megan, what about his final evolution, Venusaur? He’s so dumb and ugly looking! I personally think Bulbasaur looks like the most pettable starter, too.īut wait, you say. Just look at longtime Pokemon creator Junichi Masuda, who not only picked Bulbasaur as his favorite, but believes that Bulbasaur best exemplifies what a Pokémon is. Bulbasaur is your base, there to guide you through your weakest moments while you build a team of killers. He’ll get you the farthest in defeating early gym leaders, when your lineup is stuffed with filler garbage like Rattata and Patriarchy Rabbit. I’ll wait.īulbasaur is clearly the superior starter. Please, just go take a look at this page of adorable Bulbasaur pictures, and then come back. I can’t believe we’re even having this discussion. Megan Farokhmanesh Deputy Managing Editor
