Pokemon Starter Types

JBird · 08-19-2013

For me, what got me into the series was my still being new to JRPGs (and RPGs in general), and I was eager to try out Pokemon Red without knowing anything about it beforehand. My intro to games like that was Final Fantasy VII, and you can imagine my surprise/confusion when I discovered that Pokemon featured one-on-one battles, as oppose to a party of three. Still, I stuck with it, and enjoyed it from then on. Plus, the Charizard on the box looked bad-ass, and playing a Gameboy game on the Gameboy Color was mind-blowing to my ten-year old self.
