Lasty Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Blastoise's original concept did not have those stupid cannons. It ruined an otherwise awesome pokemon. I would love to see a canonical version lacking those cannons. It could move way faster and not be able to learn higher tier water type moves...

Insipid Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Nah, when you're a kid Charmander was the worst, as the first gym was rock type. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Toulon Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Your hang-up over Blastoise is pretty unrelated to Squirtle's awesomeness. Squirtle has a pretty diverse move pool starting out and frankly, makes early game far more manageable than playing with Charizard or Bulbasaur 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to deny that Squirtle gives you an advantage strategically. That doesn't outweigh the ridiculousness of those cannons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if he could learn earthquake in gen one but I distinctly remember him having a lightning move which made him dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 It was my younger brother's game so I'd just fool around with it a bit, but I think he wound up having BIte for anything that was strong against water, and Water Gun/Hydro Pump for anything that was weak to it. That thing was a steamroller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it was an egg move. But in retrospect, you couldn't breed in gen 1 so I could totally be thinking gen 2-3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEED... to go play the old gameboy games. Seriously, you're missing out, it's quintessential to the Pokemon experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing was a steamroller. I had a Typhlosion with Earthquake, Thunder Punch, Flamethrower, and an interchangeable 4th slot (Strength for a while, I think I replaced it with Bite or Crunch). It was funny, if impractical for playing against just about anyone who had any concept of using stats and status effects in any meaningful way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
