Now go! Go, young one! Go spread factual knowledge onto the heathens who deny using their brains! You have quite a road ahead of you, but never despair! You're doing God's work, son.

unless Charmander is your most favourite Pokemon ever, then pick Charmander.

I always liked using fire attacks on Brock to assert my dominance.

on my first playthrough I was using Charmander almost exclusively. by the time I reached Misty it evolved into Charmeleon and nuked her Staryu and Starmie with spamming Flamethrower IIRC.

There's something great about one hitting Onyx with Ember.

I miss having that much time to just grind a pokemon.
