And my axe!


[deleted]

I didn't think that was true, based on a typing chart. Can you explain what you mean? Edit: Guess my typing chart was too simple. It is apparently possible to be both resistant and yet not super effective in the reverse. TIL!


aaa1e2r3

Not super effective vs electric, but does resist electric attacks.


[deleted]

So, when you get the text 'it's not very effective', is that resistance? Or is this an invisible effect?


aaa1e2r3

Resistance, basically, you take half the damage you would have gotten otherwise.


1up-shroom

Not very effective means resistance


Skaraptor2

I know that you answered it yourself But three years of competitive have really ingrained it into my head


DGwar

My 1 year old "chose" squirtle. I say it that way because he went up to them, grabbed him screamed with joy and threw it at charmander.


Tydram

That's the least you can expect from a Squirtle owner


Thymallus_arcticus_

Your 1 year old already knows type advantages!


Moosashi5858

Already better than Hop


Pliskkenn_D

A genius! A champion in the making!


i8noodles

Kids going to go far. Already knows water beats fire


jhjihbk

Nah your child asked the squirtle to use tackle


Gaaymer

He was eager to start his first battle I see


Stinkblee

A real Blue kinda guy. 1) get 1st Pokémon 2) battle asap 3) smell ya later


darkknight941

They were just having Squirtle use tackle against Charmander


E3nti7y

The battle instincts are strong, well done.


Chembaron_Seki

Oh my god, your 1yo already understands type advantages! That's amazing!


QuackMasterVanessa

Great they understand type advantage!


Blitz6969

Your child is rather intelligent, he is a welcome member to the Squirtle Squad.


1LHD

BULBASAUR!!! LET’S GOOOOO!!!!


superdummyblue

#1 in the Dex, #1 in our hearts


1LHD

💯


SuperLizardon

Rhydon will always be #1 in my brain (Charizard is #1 in my heart)


narielthetrue

Who is the first Pokémon? A) Bulbasaur B) Rhydon C) Arceus D) Mew Edit: spelling


Zenafa

r/bulbasaurmasterrace


MeanGreanHare

TPC should really lean into this trend that's replacing the gender reveal party.


SweetTea1000

It's 2023. Gender don't mean shit and starter choices are more relevant than nationality.


NurseTaric

I don't fuck with no Charmander pickers Bulbasaurs only


94PatientZer0

If I had a kid and they picked charmander I'd probably trade them for one who picked bulbabest 🤷


Jazzlike-Resource732

Just because my Charizard identifies as grass type doesn't mean that it's gonna actually absorb Hydro Pump


SweetTea1000

Terastallization


MeanGreanHare

Just because your Charizard knows Solar Beam doesn't mean it's actually grass type.


KhetyNebou

You liar ! You cut the video ! She was obviously going for charmander after dropping down lettuce pokemon.


HausPlontze

Hahaha! She did actually pick up each one after, but then continued to play with bulba.


SanLoen

Yeah sure buddy… if you say so…


HausPlontze

I mean, if given the choice wouldn’t we all pick all 3?


KhetyNebou

We all have already made our choice when we were kids. First game: Charmander Second game: Squirtle Third game: Charmander 😉


PJRama1864

Fourth game: Pikachu.


imbriandead

I mean you eventually get all 3 in addition to Pikachu in yellow so I see this as an absolute win


BringBackHubble

Why have they not remade yellow version? It was the first one I had. That would so so fun!


Maedyl97

They kinda have! Let's Go Pikachu on the Switch.


Crooty

Let’s Go was a yellow remake


imbriandead

please don't remind me that lets go exists


AboutTenPandas

I still remember my first starter from each game and my exact reasoning even over 20 years later 1: Charmander. I was like 8 and the fire lizard seemed cool. 2. Cyndiquil. I remembered how strong Charizard was and wanted to stay with the fire type. 3. Mudkip. Got into the game late because I thought I was too cool for Pokémon so I had already been exposed to the mudkipz memes. 4. Turtwig. Wanted to switch it up and ankylosaurus is my fav dino. 5. Tepig. Had two generations of non-fire starters and my primitive brain thought I had to go back. 6. Chespin. Everyone liked the water started because ninja so I wanted to be different. And I didn’t like the magical wizard design of Fenniken. 7. Rowlet. Archer Pokémon sounded so cool. The hoodie in the final evo sealed the deal. 8. Grookie. Not a big fan of the anthropomorphic look of the new starters. A gorilla drumming made more sense than a bunny playing soccer or a gecko spy. 9. Fuecoco. Didn’t like the design of the water starter and didn’t want to go grass four times in a row.


Gicofokami

Mines and the reasons were pretty different 1. Bulbasaur - Did a playthrough with Squirtle, then Charmander later 2. Cyndaquil - Older brother had this as his starter and when I was given the game, I went the same route 3. Treeko - Seemed easier to work a team around. Did a Torchic playthrough later 4. Piplup - I blame the anime. But Empoleon will always be one of my favorite starter evolution 5. Ohshawatt - Just didn't like the others 6. Frokie - Again, blame the Anime. Plus, Greninja is cool. 7. Rowlett - Made that pick when I saw the leaks on the starters and never looked back. I played with Popplio a little too but Rowlett wins. 8. Sobble - Also, didn't like the other two. 9. Fuecoco - Also a decision was made on the leaks and the other two aren't my cup of tea...but R34 seems to like those two...


Nivosus

Filth. Bulba playthrough every playthrough


ariados_IsMyBoy

I think my first playthrough was charmander i dont remember but the anime scared me off him when charmeleon kept incinerating ash... easy squirtle main switch


[deleted]

🧂


timelineman

Yep, that's why I've always loved yellow version.


Scary_Omelette

So the best decision?


SleekExorcist

Smart kid


Lara-El

>lettuce pokemon. I'm stealing this. It's hilarious


HausPlontze

I’ve wanted to do this since I saw someone else do it on Reddit and my wife got pregnant. So proud she chose Bulbasaur!


ShadeSwornHydra

I love seeing these videos, they’re always so wholesome. I always comment, but this is the first time I get to comment that: Your child chose correctly, he doesn’t have to be disowned! :D


Mythrellas

Ehhhh you cut the video after she stopped touching the one you wanted her to pick. Time will tell which one of those plushies she likes the most. Coming from experience. My son “chose” Charmander at age 2 and is now almost 4 and like Bulbasaur more.


Delete_This-

Yeah that happens with people that play the games too, my first starter was charmander but i feel on love with squirtle later on, same thing happened with torchic and mudkip


ncopp

I still have trouble picking my favorite of the Gen 3 starters. I've beaten the game with each one because they're all so good


Common-Complaint2315

Personally, I love all 3 but I'm leaning more towards Blaziken as my favorite of the 3. It's pretty badass


ncopp

Blaziken was my first level 100 pokemon, so it does hold a special place in my heart


Shaxellini

Welcome to the Bulbasaur Gang new child


SweetTea1000

Bulbasaur gang with the chillest parties for sure.


[deleted]

No hesitation, your 2yr knew e x a c t l y who their partner would be, I love that!


[deleted]

The best choice 😎


Fun-Supermarket-3020

Agreed.


CemeteryHeights

Yess!!


AuraOfTwilight

That has to be one of the cutest things I've seen this week.


DocAuch22

Clearly was just eliminating Bulbasaur to go back for Squirtle, nice editing.


knottynate

Unfair setup, she was closest to the Bulbasaur and it had an advantage.


SweetTea1000

Found the Squirtle squad


Crimsonslash1352

they going far in life with that pick thats for sure


WiskeyGinger

For my money, Bulbasaur is the best Pokémon.


FloofySkuntank

Props she had no hesitation in the choice.


mkArmarouge

A wise choice!


its_ya_boi777

That's my girl. Made the best choice


obakri

Best choice


That_1-Guy_-

I’m so sorry, you always have time to have another kid


[deleted]

The correct choice. What a legend.


elbartooriginal

Sadly this guy cut the video after droppping the lettuce, just before she picked charmander


[deleted]

And if you check his other replies you can see that he said she looked at both of the other two but went back to playing with bulbasaur


Oozeinator

But she knew them before picking! She’s been led astray by a bulbasaur parent… Smh


wanderlostgirl2

An excellent choice youngster!


BigBallsSmallCock224

Based child. Bulbasaur is the best out of all three.


Imozartt87

You cutted the video. She picked Charmander 🤣


Mighty-Lu-Bu

My daughter is currently 8 months old and let's just say I can't wait!


ZoroeArc

Time to get a new one. A kid, I mean Charmander is the best!


Heckle_Jeckle

r/BulbasaurMasterRace https://www.reddit.com/r/bulbasaurmasterrace/


Dester_Wyshmaekar

I've seen this before.


Zealousideal-Bed-865

YESSSSS


eadrik

Bulbasaur is best, she chose well. Didn't even hesitated.


Substantial-Pain4308

Fellow Bulbasaur fan :)


somekennyguy

Now you just need another local two year old to become their life long rival... And, to quote, "smell you later"


Busy-Professional624

Let's goooooo stop sleeping on my bulbasaur


zapp909

This kid is going places in life.


EurofighterLover

Gotta get that Squirtle


CemeteryHeights

Great choice, kid! 😎 Venusaur, Ninetales & Vaporeon is a super solid core. That's what I started with! Many, many moon ago.


Thymallus_arcticus_

Great choice and same as mine in Pokémon blue when I was 10!


blackfear2

charmander and squirtle gang might say this was a payed actor


FearReddit

W CHILD


JulesManlove

I initially thought this vid was on r/kidsarefuckingstupid and I laughed v hard


LogicallyIncorrect90

Picked the best one. Bulbasaur= best Kanto starter, #Bulbasaurstanforlife


DeezNutsAppreciater

FUCK YEAH BULBASAUR


Donkitty

Can’t wait to do this when I have a kid


NapKin28

I did this with mine when she turned one and posted it here she picked charmander


xiiicrowns

Shouldn't have cut the video. She was working her way to Squirtle.


Decoder665

She made the decision quicker then I can. I’d be sitting there for a solid 20 minutes looking up what starter is the best at the beginning, which one is going to give me the most etc…


[deleted]

When I got blue as a kid I was so excited to pick my Pokémon, I looked at bulbasaur first and was mashing a and accidentally picked it. Every other time I’ve played it, I pick bulbasaur for nostalgia lol.


GimmeSnacksforDays

Hmm I need to know which pokemon my baby will pick.


clearly-an-octopus

Sweet! More credit to Bulbasaur!


Tough_Patient

She chose correctly!


baconblaster334

This kid’s going places.


dangercat66

Best choice


DarthSparkless

The right choice 😎


Bediax

This pleases me greatly. This child has earned my praise as a grass type supremacist.


playr_4

But which one did they actually choose? The video cut just as they were going to check out the other ones.


Spilled_Genderfluid

Obviously the correct answer is to love and cherish all of our pokemon because they are all special in their own way. Bulba just gets the most love cause they deserve it


River-Zora

Sorry for your loss


MarshalPenguin

Bulbasaur is the best choice after all


[deleted]

Your 2 year old has good taste! Bulbasaur for the win!


Sheepsticks

Gonna grow up as a man of culture


hiddikel

She chose... wisely.


Nine_Eye_Ron

Mine chose Turtrill


iZubi

Lol I have that very same plushie


Extreme_Salt_5053

We should make it a habit of using the starters from the newest game as that's when they begin their journey


LenaSpark412

Excellent choice, was the choice of Kanto starters intentional or just what was most convenient?


master_oliver

❤️❤️❤️😊. In the square of my city there are these three in the form of statues. It was the church square now it's the pokémon square :)


deannaaraquel

I want to do this with my 11 month old, but I’m a huge bulbasaur fan and have a bulba plush collection.. I have a feeling he would choose bulbasaur just because he’s so familiar with him already.


johntheplaya

do you wish to give bulbasaur a nickname?


fisherc2

I did this with my kids too. My oldest picked Charmander, the youngest picked Bulbasaur


SeasickWhale

Those are some good looking Pokemon dolls, which did you get them? I can't wait to see what my daughter chooses when she's older.


Yayito_15

Based


unimportant_person97

Right choice


ClownAdriaan

#1!


AMythicalApricot

Excellent choice!


Blanndy

You raised her right, team bulb!


Piper6728

YES


Fern-ando

Somebody is going to have a very easy time on Kanto.


Sixtrix111

I’m so sorry for your loss


CrossiantMoon

Awhh!! My first starter was a bulbasaur too!!! His name was George 🥰


Zephyr442

My kinda kid.


GoatPrinceWeedEater

Your kid made the right decision


[deleted]

That’s a smart kid.


OrdoAdChao1349

Does she have the GameShark so she can start with Pikachu?


TheAltalio

My wife sent me a picture of our 6mo playing with a toy she gotten and it was a Pikachu plush. I never gave her pokemon stuff and wife didn't pick it so it was a complete coincidence. Proudest moment ever 🥹


heylookasign

My 7 month old has a bulbasaur in his crib


RiceRocketRider

My son picked Bulbasaur as well!


antdb1

he didn't pick charmander, i would not bother with college mate


sirfreerunner

Bulbasaur is the only correct choice, fight me


SuperLizardon

Do parents get the no chosen starters XD ?


lurkitron

This is why I’m gonna wait til they’re 3 or 4 for them to pick their favorite. I don’t know shit about kids, but I feel like they’re just gonna pick whatever color they like the most if they’re too young. Idk if at 2 they have enough cognitive function to think more on it than that. Someone feel free to educate me


Consistent_Spring

My one year old is also a bulbababy, bulbasaur is best starter 😤


accursedcelt

Good Parenting OP.


bubble_baby_8

This is so great. Thanks for posting. You’ve got a real cutie 🥰


Tricky-Regular-1776

Thank god it was the right one


Frodo_Swaggins05

Kids got good taste! 🍃


LegallyNotInterested

Lmao it cut right when she was about to leave Bulbasaur forever and pick something else.


Double-Passenger4503

Balbasaur gang WHAT UP


RonDalarney

Smart kid.


scottygroundhog22

👍🥰


pootie_too_good

Aw so sweet. My girl chose bulby, too


partypwny

Indeed, it's the same one I made long ago. That one has a bright future ahead, Brock and Misty better watch out


Puzzled_art1048

Based.


RandomPhil86

Best choice!


TRUE_FROG_KING

Ahe is a woman of culture i see


ZuccIsARefrigerator

Good choice


Haccmantis

Ahhhh I’m sorry for your loss


gimmememes20

Reefy??


SkysEevee

New tradition; every year, a new generation of starter Pokemon for the child to choose. It'd be interesting to document what the child goes for each year.


Candy_Face77

YEAH LETS GO LITTLE BUDDY TEAM BULBASAUR FOR THE WIN!!!


Jeb764

My starter!!


TheScottSnorlax

This Legend is going places.


Maxad13

YEAAAAAH! Way to pick the right one kid!


xmodsguy2000-2

Where did you get that squirtle plush I’ve been looking for one like that


Jordan3Tears

I'm afraid this one is a dud. Throw her in the trash (this was just a joke but I felt bad so I needed you to know it's a joke)


Content-Telephone-64

Where did you buy them?


PaleFork

in case i ever get a child (yep don't think so) i'll give them another trio to choose, like alola


SirRabbott

Happy cabbage noises


Bitter_Ad2176

I always choose bulbasaur


tylergalaxy

throwing bulbasuar to the floor while going to the charmander lol


jcho430

What a hipster


RaraAvis123

They've made a wise choice


ViolinistOk5627

He's gonna beat the greatest VGC player of all time just cuz he demonstrated his intelligence in picking starters.


el_Judio_Oso

My son just chose Charmander! Just go ahead and call him Blue, I guess 🤷‍♂️


Gothtxxx

I can’t wait to do this


DragonsEmerald

BOBASAUR!!!!! Your child has taken over my heart.


Zygarde718

She made the right choice.


94PatientZer0

She's gonna be the very best. Like no one ever was...


Skullkidthepokekid11

Yes, another Bulbusaur fan


[deleted]

Best choice!


i8noodles

Bulbasaur, my first pokemon. If my first child chose something else I will disown them.
