Mario Man, are you insane? Just wondering, because swampert, a hoenn starter, is considered the best starter period, and Sceptile and Blazikin, both hoenn starters, are tied for the second most useful starter.
Kanto's starters were a little wishy-washy, it had Charizard, one of the best starters in the game, venasaur, a good, but not great, starter, and Blastoise, the worst.
Johto had Typhlosion, a good, not great, starter, Faraligator, who sucks in general, and Magnium, who also sucks in general.
Hoenn had Swampert, the best starter, Sceptile, the 'grass god' a brilliant starter and the best grass type in the game (Although Torterra might pervail ahead of this guy...) and Blazikin, an awesome starter, but not as useful as charizard.
Wanna listen to me rant about stuff? I started a blog!
