And we're back at it again! As the rain pours outside my window, I eagerly await to see what our starter choices will be today. We will assume, like before, that we are playing a fully randomized game (wild and trainer pokemon are randomized) so gyms will not be taken into account for our choice. The game will be Pokémon Sapphire. Now let's get 3 random numbers from 1 to 202 thanks to Random.org: 11, 73, 198.
Okay, so our choices are: Mightyena, Machop, and Kyogre. If we had the normal starters, I would pick Torchic without hesitation. It's adorable and it's final evolution is a beast. Blaziken can Blaze Kick anything into oblivion (as long as it isn't water, psychic, or flying type). Back to our choices...Mightyena is a dark type but it isn't very good. Machop will become Machamp (assuming trade evolutions are possible without trading) which could be very powerful fighting type. Kyogre is a legendary water type and its move set is very good. It can also learn a lot of different HMs. Mightyena's move set is not so great but it can learn Strength and Rock Smash. Machop through Machamp has a decent move set and it can learn the same HMs as Mightyena. Still, Kyogre is a very powerful monster from the start.
Okay, let's throw out Mightyena right now. It's between Machop and Kyogre. Do I want something that evolves as I travel the Hoenn region or just get the power now? Hmm.... I think my choice is clear. I will go with- Kyogre. My reasons are: it's great move set, powerful stats, loads of HM choices (if I need to teach it an HM) and just bulk in general. Besides, how often do you get to use a legendary Pokémon anyway?
Well, that's it for this week. I hope you enjoyed this post and will follow me so you don't miss out on further posts. Which of these starters would you have chosen? Leave me a comment below telling me your choice and your reasons. As always, have a good weekend and keep on gaming!!
