>you'll always have a Flying type for Fly
>fighting types are much more versatile overall and cover the rest of fire's type advantages
Literally fucking cucked out of all their usefulness, no wonder they did so many Fire/Fighting starters when it's literally the only way you can justify using the fire starter.

Unless you're using something like Nidoking, Venusaur is pretty good in RBY.
Razor Leaf in Gen 1 is busted. It ALWAYS crits, so even if the target resists, it's still a STAB+Critical Hit damage.

This.
I used to think fire starters were the obvious choice since regular fire pokemon are so much less common than water and grass (just look at Sinnoh) but now I realize fire is probably one of the least useful types outside of competitive.
When you pick a fire starter you end up having to build too much of your team around it to make sure it doesn't get overshadowed by the plethora of fighting and ground types.

Typhlosian with Magmar if you get lucky in Crystal
Feraligatr with Slowbro or Lanturn
Swampert with Wiscash if you want the exact same pokemon just slightly worse, otherwise Ludicolo, Wailord, Miolotic, Crawdaunt, or Walrein. Very good water types in gen 3.
Blaziken with Camerupt (only if you're gay)
Sceptile with Shiftry, also ludicolo, Cadily, or Breloom
Torterra with Roserade and leafeon (who is a fucking monster and is only held back by being a gay ass grass type)
Empoleon with Gastrodon
Infernape with literally nothing
Serprior with Ferrothorn and Amoongus
Samurott with Jellicent, Carracosta, and Siemsmitoad
Emboar with Darmanitan and Chandelure
Greninja with Blastoise and that's it. Gen 6 wasn't nice to water types
Chestnaught with Trevenant and Venusaur
Delphox with Charizard
Incineroar with no one
Decidueye with Lurantis and maybe Tsareena if that's your thing
Primarina with Wishiwashi, Aqraquanid, Toxapex, and Golisapod
Inteleon with Barraskewda and Dracovish
Cinderace with Coalossal or Centiskorch
Rillaboom with Flapple/Appletun, I guess
Meowscarada with Arboliva and Hydrapple
Skeledirge with Armoruge/Ceruledge
Quequeval with no one

Centiskorch is 100 times cooler than gay ass fucking soccer rabbit, plus it's attack stats are almost the same, it's just a bit more slow but makes up for it with a bit more bulk. Cinderace might have more utility with its hidden ability and moves like court change in PVP, but I assume we're just talking about normal playthroughs.

I don't know how it is with other emulators, but the one I use (VBA-M-WX), you can open multiple instances at the same time and even trade between them. There's nothing in the game code to prevent two trainers with the same ID from trading, and the pokemon acts like you caught it normally, since the trainer IDs match.

All pokemon will obey you if you're their original trainer, except in scarlet and violet since they're open world games. I traded my friend a beldum egg in sword and shield, he hatched it, traded it back to me, leveled it to a lv 100 metagross, traded it back to him, and it obeyed him.
