Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow Hints
Which Pokemon should I choose? (Red/Blue)
1 of 6: Try looking in your manual. Which of the three types do you think is best?
2 of 6: Squirtle is a Water-type Pokemon, Charmander is a Fire-type Pokemon, and Bulbasaur is a Grass-type Pokemon.
3 of 6: Gary will always choose the one that is super-effective against yours (when comparing types). Click on the link below to see what I mean...
4 of 6: Squirtle may give you problems defeating Misty but not Brock.
5 of 6: Charmander is a bad choice. If you choose him, it will be harder for you to defeat the first two gym leaders. However, he's very powerful when you have evolved him to Charizard.
6 of 6: Though it is a matter of taste, I think you should take Bulbasaur. It is the best of the three against the first two gym leaders, and the one that will make the game easiest.
