water is best because it has only 2 weaknesses
grass and electric
fire is weak against water, rock and ground.
grass is weak against, like everything
poison, fire, ice, bug, and flying
bulbasaur is a grass/poison, so he's weak against psychic and ground as well.
bulbasaur loving sucks.
and i dont choose squirtle as a starter because you have many other chances to get a water type in the game.
the end.
