    And the it still suffers greatly by the second gym, and the final evolution isn’t even a real dragon, so it gets absolutely wrecked by rocks, but I still never learned my lesson because it’s cool as hell.

      Fair enough. I might be sightly biased as well because when playing the originals, I had Blue while my best friend at the time had Red, we each chose the respective starters, and I’ve just stuck with that and taken the water starter in every game since, despite them often being a sub-optimal choice. That said, Mudkip is one of if not the strongest starter choice in any pokemon game, so it has served me well enough.
