    Food service has always intimidated me, and I've managed to avoid working in a restaurant so far in my life. Sorry you've gotta deal with sexist bullshit, but at least you don't hate your job I suppose.

    Are you working on getting a better job, or are you pretty happy where you are?

    I'm doing pretty good for the time being, going to college to start video game developing (n_n)

    I work at a restaurant as a server, to be honest it isn't that bad. Except for the customers either hitting on me, calling me sexual remarks, or demanding stuff all the time just to look at me.

    Well, this also depends if you're using the new Super Training feature. But then again, the special stats in Generation 1 and Generation 2 were still more applied to attacks that were more indifferent than the others. For example, a Razor Leaf would be based upon it's Special Attack rather than it's Attack stat solely.

    However, when Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire came out, moves were separated by Range, Physical, and Special Attacks. Pokémon Gold and Silver remained with only Physical or more so.. Attack Power. The formula for both game titles are simple a taking it by a grain of salt.

    Starters before Gen III and after had around the basic stats for any trainer, old or newbie, to begin and start an adventure. But as the more complicated the games become, the most interesting a starter has an advantage over another person's starter.

    Friendship was another stronger ideal in Gold and Silver. If you had your friendship maxed out for your starter or any other Pokémon, this would give you a heavy advantage over someone who doesn't have a good friendship.

    As you had stated above:
    "Venusaur's special attack is only slightly lower than Charizard's, Charizard is faster but Venusaur is bulkier. the difference is that Venusaur's bulk and moveset allows for stalling"

    This being said, it's obvious that Charizard as an average is still better by 1.5% While Blastoise just barely reaches Charizard by a .67% However, stats on the board, Venusaur does have the highest HP Stat. But, Charizard has the Highest Speed, Highest Attack, and Highest Special Attack Stats. Now, Blastoise has the highest Defensive, Special Defensive, and about average across the board. But Venusaur isn't left out that far back, it's the moveset that normally makes the difference with battles.

    As you had stated above:
    "Same thing applies with Johto starters, although Meganium is the bulky one so it's moveset actually fits for stalling which is great. Feraligatr's physical attack is huge, Thyplosion has around the same special attack as feraligatr's attack and is faster but Feraligatr is bulkier."

    Feraligatr has the highest HP and Attack Stat and even with Meganium with Defense, while Typhlosion has the highest Special Attack and Speed, and last but not least Meganium has the highest Special Defense and about even in speed with Feraligatr. Again, it's the same thing as above, Typhloshion averagely beats both. However, again I will state that it is all along the lines of movesets, stats don't make a Pokémon automatically better than another just simply being put

    "OH! Typhlosion and Charizard is 1.5% Better than Meganium and Venusuar!"

    No.. no... just no. NO! All Pokémon equally have an advantage somewhere, it depends on stats yes, but it also depends on nature, IVs, EVs, and several other things. For example this formula explain hows IVs are calculated into creating a individual stat.

    Now in generation two, there was several things added in that changed IVs from the normal 15 to 31. The IVs were changed because of gender, shiny Pokémon, and a few other things including friendship. The formula above remained the same, just a few things were added in. Here are few examples.

    Gender Being An Issue:

    Shineness Being an Issue:

    Well! Seeing that were three different Pokémon titles from the same region, what do you think was the best out of the three? Course Emerald was just a remade version of Ruby and Sapphire and despite differences, I still prefer Pokémon Emerald over the two. Who wouldn't want all three legendaries?

    The only Pokemon game I ever played was one of the Gen I games, and I only played it for about an hour. But I'll always remember that Bulbasaur was my starter, and everybody seems to think I'm very wrong for choosing it.

    Actually Bulbasaur has an advantage over the first two gyms and has decent stats when it's fully evolved.

    Personally I always wanted to know what people started out with their Pokémon Gen I & II game titles.

    These are the Pokémon I choose for Generation 1 and Generation 2

    Pekachew, you're too interested in Pokèmon, anyways.. What's terrible thing in it? Amazing stories, maps, battle. Wow!
    I love Pokèmon series, haven't played so much, but.. It is so much nice!

    "The days are quiet beautiful, the difference is- past days can't be forgotten, future days can't be avoided".

    Well, I am Pekachew... I'm a Pokémon... I have to deal with the other 720 pokémon......

    It's the same reason unova and Kalos are so different from the regions on the first games as well.

    I just noticed that as well... perhaps they're in a different land mass or perhaps a completely different part of the world of Pokémon...
