charmander is the best in the long run, but like you said, bulbasaur is best versus the first gyms, and charmander has problems with misty...i always train up one pokemon at a time, my charizard was level 94 when i versed the pokemon league for the first time, and if you train just one pokemon, it makes it easier to catch the legendary birds, which are useful in the pokemon league
and dm90210, nice name...XD
