How to Choose the Right Starter Pokémon in Any Game

Choosing the right starter Pokémon in a game can be the difference between a win and a loss. Different Pokémons are good for different things in different games. It is important to remember that your starter Pokémon is simply part of a team that you have chosen to play the game.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Consider the purpose of your starter Pokémon. In most games, your starter Pokémon will battle the first wild Pokémon that you encounter.
2. Check the Pokémon's available moves. The moves should be easy for you to execute. Keep in mind that some moves may only be available after some extra training.
3. Know the Pokémon types. This will help you to narrow down your choices once you decide what type of Pokémon is best suited to your style of play.
4. Determine the training required to get your Pokémon's abilities to the level you need. Some Pokémons will be harder to train than others.
5. Think about your goals for the game. If you want to eventually catch a specific Pokémon, make sure that your starter Pokémon can catch it.
6. Look at the Pokémon to be sure that you will enjoy playing the game with it. Some people who just play to have fun pick a starter Pokémon that they think is neat or cute.
7. Use your starter Pokémon as the base of a well balanced team. Your Pokémon should be different types with different moves and abilities.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are new to Pokémon games, ask a friend to help you pick a starter Pokémon. You can also try different Pokémons by simply restarting the game if you are dissatisfied with your current choice.
