Pokemon Starters leading to Political Ideologies
I'm curious about something /pol/

Who was your very first starter Pokemon as a child, and what is your political ideology now as an adult?

Squirtle, but I never played anything past green/red.
I'm an ethnonationalist. Every race gets their own lands for them to do with what they want. Europe for Europeans, including the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Asia for the Asians. Yes, even South/Central America for the spics and Africa for the nigs. Maybe they can become more human-like in a few thousand years. Mind you, once whites tap all the resources in our areas, I'm not against wars of territorial expansion. Fuck colonization though. We'll trail of tears those bitches.

Mankey is only available in Yellow version that early as a contingency to beat Brock, your best best in RB to beat Brock when starting with Charmander is a Nidoran, or overlevel your Charmander to a point where ember does a shitton of damage due to Onix's low special stat.

Bellsprout and Oddish are also options for Misty if you can't be bothered to look for a low encounter rate Pikachu in Viridian.

Growlithe in Red and Vulpix in Blue are available at routes 7 and 8 long before the Pokemon mansion and just in time for Erika. You also have the option of Eevee into Flareon but why would you ever do that? Only fire types you exclusively encounter at the Pokemon mansion are Ponyta and Magmar(Blue exclusive).

Charizard, like all starters is not a bad choice, but you do have plenty of other fire options.

Charmander. Pokémon Red (Gameboy) edition. I feel old.

Left and Right-leaning political parties are two sides of the same capitalistic coin and neither of them give a fuck about the working man.

The only viable form of government would be to burn it all down and install a benevolent dictatorship but that is an impossible dream since corruption is an omnipresent human flaw.

The war on drugs could be ended by introducing a "hot" (lethal) dose into one tenth of all sales. The hardcore addicts would "solve" themselves and the tourists would do the math and go clean. Decimation works, people!

Engagement should have a minimum trial period and divorce should be illegal unless physical abuse or infidelity can be proven. Birth rates should be capped at three offspring per couple, any excess children should be adopted out to worthy couples with fertility issues (m + f couples who can pass a means test and thorough suitability assessment). A special breeding license can be obtained if a means and IQ test can be passed. Anyone with room temperature IQ should be spayed/neutered.
Alternatively, birth control slipped into the drinking water. Anyone wishing to breed must pass IQ test to receive antidote.

Severe birth defects should be culled immediately. This will not could against child quota, but more than three successive failed attempts should result in desexing of the defective genetic carrier/s.

If not crippled, anyone on government benefits must attend minimum community service hours yearly.

Violent offenders to have strict three-strike laws. Third strike = death penalty. Murder = death penalty. Child abuse = castration without anaesthetic. Littering = public beating.

I liked Charmander because his tail looked cool.

For Brock you don't need anything special. Just fight everything up to him for XP and spam Ember. Geodude and Onix have such low specials that it'll chew through them faster than their tackles on you; plus they'll waste turns on defense curl and bide. It's doable by level 12, maybe less.

I always felt like a "blue" type of guy, but Squirtle was always garbage. I'd rather raise a Gyarados and put Bubblebeam on it. The rest of the game is easy from there.

Now Bulbasaur, not my first pick, but it is severely underrated. Sleep Powder and Razor Leaf are busted in gen 1. Venusaur even gets perfect crits with Razor Leaf. Then you've got the Toxic + Leech Seed combo --- but honestly you'll never need this in single player. It has its niches in competitive, though.

My first playthrough ended with a level 71 Charizard and some HM slaves. I was 9. I couldn't beat the Safari Zone and ran out of money. Didn't even have a Pay Day user or TM or any balls. Kek. I think now I could have found a hidden item to sell, but I aced it on my second playthrough anyway. I always do test runs before playing for real.

Not entirely sure but back then I never reloaded my save when I lost or failed the Safari Zone. Losing takes half of your money, and I was blacking out from constantly pushing my luck (trying to fight entire zones alone without any healing). Maybe it never occurred to me to save before trying things, but I started doing that by my second playthrough. Later that summer I completed the Pokedex too (sans legit Mew).

charmander

democracy has failed and is now largely fake and a performance to provide the illusion of legitimate rule by peoples mandate and must be replaced or reinforced with new ideas and technologies and cultural understandings based on a healthy level of paranoia and mistrust in the very nature of any who would seek power. an understanding taught in public school that all in power become addicted and will like junkies seek more and more power to get their fix and its our civic duty to keep their addictions in check and never hero worship a politician they are all dirt. a reverse surveillance state where the people can watch over everyone in government at all times so they can't even take a shit without it being livestreamed to the entire populace, no more secret meetings or documents because we have to be certain there are no shadowy forces pulling the strings. blockchain verification publicly viewable on all communications and documents. also elections should be a ranked ballot after drawing a pool of candidates by sortition from another pool of candidates who all had to earn signatures on a petition in the area they seek to govern. and everyone voting has to pass a test to prove they aren't retarded npcs. decentralization of power from federal to state/provincial governments. and probably a bunch of other shit i haven't thought of yet.

if i had a ditto i would have it transform into sexy women or a gardevoir and then stick my dick in it. thank you for your attention to this matter.

Charmander's path follows that if a man
> Cute but otherwise unassuming toddler and young kid
> Charmeleon
> Ugly teenager with an attitude problem. No one likes him. Even the manga hits on this
> Charizard
> Esteemed and respected man. It's a fucking dragon.
Brock was such a difficult battle with Charmander but I'm glad I stick it out because come Misty is ass blasted that cunt with charmander without a problem.
Once I got to level 100, my Charizard was so powerful I would destroy any fucker that tried to link battle me. Little 1 hit KOs. My favorite is the, "it's not very effective."
>Blastoise was defeated!"
I would transfer him and my other core group to other gen 2 and 3 games before I lost interest in Pokemon.

It's really not that bad. XP levels increase in such a magnitude that you can get a freshly caught Pokemon up to snuff before the E4 without losing much time at all. Especially if you save some good trainer battles.

I used to play like you, but when I revisit older gens, I specifically pick up mons who can reliably help with the next task, and dump them if/when their use is fulfilled. I even started using TMs I never would, and overwriting them --- for example, I caught a Clefairy in Mt. Moon, evolved it right away, gave it Mega Punch and Water Gun, beat Misty, gave it Bubblebeam, then later replaced it with Lapras who I taught Surf and Thunderbolt.

It's scary to expend finite or limited resources so early in the game, but it's a lot of fun when you have a plan.

To add, being afraid to swap mons out is how a lot of people end up with a useless Butterfree by the E4. Butterfree is meant to help you blaze through everything up to Misty, it's not meant to be a permanent team mate. Then there's Beedrill, but we don't talk about Beedrill. Poor guy.

Figured out that in the first gen, Charmander is really the only choice.

Cyndaquil and Mudkip later.
I also played with the other starters to see how they play and progress, but while Blaziken is Basediken and Feraligatr is meh, Typhlosion and Swampert have the best application the most for the longest.
