* {{p|Bulbasaur}} can easily defeat the Pokémon in the {{gy|Pewter}}, {{gy|Cerulean}}, and {{gy|Viridian}} Gyms, and resists the Pokémon in the {{gy|Vermilion}} and {{gy|Celadon}} Gyms.  It is also unaffected by the {{status|Poison}} status ailment. It may have trouble with the {{gy|Saffron}} and {{gy|Cinnabar}} Gyms, though. Being strong against the first two gyms, particularly Misty's, and access to the powerful {{m|Razor Leaf}}and {{m|Sleep Powder}}, makes it a strong choice, although it is limited in power until it learns Razor Leaf and struggles mightily against your rival's starter.

* {{p|Charmander}} will be at a disadvantage in the first two Gyms and its only advantage is against the Celadon Gym. Its final evolution, {{p|Charizard}}, is the most versatile fire type and has great stats, but a poor typing and a plethora of weaknesses makes it difficult to use. Thus, it will not usually have a type advantage in battle, and despite its {{t|Flying}} type, it cannot learn any Flying-type moves.

* {{p|Squirtle}} can defeat the Pewter, Cinnabar, and Viridian Gyms without much effort. It is a solid starter, probably as good of a choice as Venusaur, with only two weaknesses. Unfortunately, a limited movepool doesn't give Squirtle much type coverage, and it faces competition from the 15 other water-type pokemon, some which are far more versatile and powerful.
