Well ive gone into this with no Knowledge other than ASB knowledge (ie atacks) so what appears where is a complete mystery.
My Starter choice was Chimchar because going by the old Games Fire types were really hard to come across though faced with nothing but Magikarp from fishing piplup was a close second. Now i have Psyduck im pretty happy (always wanted an excuse to use one and if i dont train it from early then i wont swap out an existing water type for it) though some other members of my team are a little harder to find.
Im currently only running round with Monferno, Psyduck and Luxio. Got an Aipom as a HM slave but im looking to add Gible and Riolu to that team at some point and i was hoping for a Leafeon but i guess that needs a rethink now.
