Every avid Pokemon player has a favorite starter, a Pokemon they always lean towards. We all have fond memories of when we started our very first journey to be a master, which Pokemon we chose to raise and bond with. Celebrating Pokemon‘s 20th anniversary, MyNavi posted an intriguing question for fans of the very first games, Blue, Green, and Red, which were only available in Japan: which first generation Pokemon starter was “the very best?”

Bulbasaur is really cute, which might be why players picked him. Grass/Poison types do well in the first three gyms and the final gym, however, players believe him to be the weakest of the three.
