Chikorita is bad because Johto hates Grass-types let's go through the main line-up
>Rival : Poison, Flying, Ice, Fire
>Team Rocket : Primarily Poison
>Gym 1 : Flying
>Gym 2 : Bug
>Gym 3 : actually reasonable
>Gym 4 : Ghos-... oh wait the only Ghost is actually a Poison-type
>Gym 5 : Fighting, the only one so far where Grass is at an advantage
>Gym 6 : Steel, even worse, Electric/Steels
>Gym 7 : Ice
>Gym 8 : Dragon
>E4 1: Psychic
>E4 2: Poison
>E4 3 : Fighting, another actually reasonable one
>E4 4 : Dark-.. just kidding. Poison. Flying. Fire. all in one like the rival
>Champion : Flying, but he pretends to be a Dragon trainer
Chikorita has the entire first half of the game rigged against it. Put it in Hoenn and it would be viable but Johto is simply fucked
