Uhm, red is the good one not the dumb blastoise normie/sheeple popular version.
Finally going to have revenge on 20 yrs of dumb people saying blastoise doesn't belong in the trash can

They better say "gently caress it" and do this in all regions.

Oh lovely. Do a Splatfest with a theme I have a stake in, on a weekend I'm actually around... on the same weekend where a 3DS game I've been eagerly awaiting for the past stinking year comes out.

I'm a bit torn, though. I had Red back in the day because Charizard represent, but I never actually picked Charmander. The manual said that beginners should pick Bulbasaur, so that's what I did. :( Plus I like the version exclusives in Blue waaaaaay better. Vulpix? Meowth? YES PLEASE! I also prefer the color blue. I guess in hindsight I would have picked Blue back then, had I known.

So do I go with the game I actually had, or the one I would have picked if I'd known all the particulars?

One of them is in smash bros, so yes?

Oh poo poo. Marie just convinced me! She said, "You can pick Charmander as your starter in Blue, too, but you can't get Vulpix in Red."

drat it, she's RIGHT! Going Team Marie, then!

EDIT: Oh my GOD, it gets better!



TEAM MARIE, TEAM MARIE!

Yeah, in X and Y, which came out like 2 years ago, you were given the Kanto starter of your choosing about a third of the way in I think.

Blastoise has a type advantage on Charizard so its pretty obvious which team will come out on top.

Blastoise has a type advantage against Charizard AND Inklings.

His victory is assured.

The VERY best, you mean :colbert:

I never played Red or Blue-- although my brother and I were huge dorky fans of the TV show/franchise in general, we didn't get Game Boys until a generation or two later.

But if someone threw both games at me and forced me to pick one, I'd go with Blue. Squirtle is the best starter and I also love Vulpix so it's just really a no-brainer. Keep your dumb red ink.

Gotta go with Red, even though I rocked my way through it with a Blastoise as a kid. This war is about versions, not starter pokemon, and the Blues are going down :toughguy:.

Oh no, I'd forgotten Oddish was a Red exclusive...

Hmmm, Bellsprout is also good but I don't know if it's Oddish good.

This Splatfest is hard :(

It's probably going to be Blue though, Meowth, Vulpix, Sandshrew and Bellsprout are a good set of Pokemon. Poor Oddish is getting left behind...
