I’ll always be extra fond of Blastoise. The first game I played was Blue on my GameBoy Color back in the early zeroes. I was around 8 years old at the time so my only frame of reference was the anime and friends who played Red, Yellow or Gold.
I chose Squirtle for my starter and did the first playtrough until my Blastoise was level 100.
Back then I only skimmed the surface of the first game. I have done it again numerous times and I gotta say I thought the birds were super cool. Moltres was hard to miss in Victory Road, Zapdos was easy to find if you knew where to look (Power Plant) but Articuno took some effort (Seafoam Islands). Even Mewtwo was an easier find even though you’d have to plough through level 81 Kadabra’s to get to it. So that’s why Articuno is high on my list as well.
But the one that I always employ, the one I always want in my party, is Kadabra. Considering its versatility and the sheer power of Psychic type moves, it’s essentially one of the most powerful Pokémon you can get part early in most games. Gyarados has similar traits, but it takes far too long to get it to do powerful moves without TMs/HMs.

Thank you for reading my essay.
Thank you for typing one! I love reading peoples’ thoughts on the fiction they liked. If I didn’t want to know I would not have asked this question.
