I love how they implemented a hard mode in this game. They even gave it a creative name, chikorita.

My thicc boi getting the love he deserves. Feraligatr is easily one of the coolest starters and my first. I remember my Feraligatr moveset were, Ice Punch, Waterfall, Crunch and Dragon Claw, it was a beast.

We definitely need a regional form of Chikorita to make it more useful.

Totodile's rage is OP in Gen 2, you can breeze through the first 3 gyms with that move alone.

As a Chikorita fan, it upsets me Gamefreak did it so dirty

[dfbrandn]

The thing is Gyarados *also* benefited from the split and you get a shiny one anyway. I personally think Cyndaquil is the best option across all games.

[Aboode]

Me personally i agree. I think we need more shorts like this

[dova]

Also with totodile, you get ice fang at about the same level that it evolves into croconaw, so it becomes great against Bugsy

[AgentSapphire]

Counter argument: Chikorita is adorable every stage and becomes an adorable dinosaur flower that deserves hugs.

Part of Feraligatr's coverage moves is Dragon Claw from the Goldenrod Department Store Sunday Lotto. Also Feraligatr is my favorite Pokémon.

I always like having the grass starters because they usually have status moves which make catching pokemon early on a breeze.

Even if you pick Chikorita, just get a Dunsparce in Dark Cave; its Rage attack is very good against the first gym, and you can build a team from there.

The same thing can also be said for Red Gyarados. Nerfed in Gen 2 with that high attack stat and special water move typing. Gen 4 - Waterfall now a physical attack ❤ back on form as it should have been.

[megariderfire]

His experience from his no catching Pokemon run in the Gen 4 Johto games comes in clutch for this!

[luisvr]

Feraligatr finally getting the love it deserved

[CormacLennon]

Totadile is my favourite Pokemon in the entire series so i picked him in every playthrough, named him Chompy in my latest playthrough

[brianmoyachiuz]

Poor Chikorita, we still love you for it's adorableness 😂

[TheGingerlie]

Dont forget you also get the move rage which just makes the normal type gym trivial. Both the fire and grass starters have trouble in this gym which to me is a big reason why i always go water type.

[jeremyrossi]

While Totodile is a lot better, Gyarados getting MASSIVE buffs alongside being a GUARANTEED encounter, makes Cyndaquil the better option.

As a Totodile fan (it’s the first mon I ever used), I’m glad he got better
