I only played Red and then FireRed, so... I feel it's a good game to be your first.Ah Fire Red, first one I played.
Started playing FireRed, due to Butters showing me that Retro achievements site and I overdid it with the grinding (just like I did back in the good ol' days)
Thank you very much for the pro tips from an actual pro, Rosie.Since you got this as your team so far. A couple ideas for future members:
Swap one of the grass/poison types for Growlithe/Arcanine. Evolve it when you have a move-set you're happy with since it is hard to teach it moves after evolution.
Dodrio instead of Pigeot since it is stronger. It hits like a truck. Drill Peck + Tri-Attack.
And I got more ideas
