I'm kinda amazed that Bulbasaur is in the lead, what with all the internet hate directed at the little guy. Good on you Bulba, good on you, you little tentacle monster you.
Also random question, who else never wanted to evolve Bulba, Squirtle or Char passed stage 2? I always felt, stage 1 was cuteness, Stage 2 was baddass, all three reminded me of delinquent teenagers, and stage 3 was kinda like well the spring time of youth is over, time to get a real job, get fat and start balding.

@SmilingSword that is one of the most insightful things I've read here
Balbasuar was the choice made by many of my friends because he was OP for the first two gyms. People who wanted a little bit more of a challenge went with charmander.
Thing is, Squirtle imho can easily handle Brock's bad joke of a gym, and Vine Whip is a real PoS technique. It would be worth knowing if it had double he PP, 10 is bad, and on a technique thats hardly a 1 hit ko often? Yeck.
Also, Bulbasaur is garbage vs Zubat, and Mt.Moon has majy Zubats. Also, you can use a pikachu to drop Misty. Well, kinda.
Starmie is pretty incredible, and Mew is a better mule. You get him early, and since you'll require Abra to get Mew, Abra can take Flash, and you can have 1 Mew handle the other 4 HMs. Surf and Fly can be useful attacks though, so its mostly Cut and Strength. Even Strength isn't BAD, but its hardly Hyperbeam or Bodyslam.
Giving Starmie Surf is a good water attack for him must agree.
Everyone is talking strategy and I'm just here like "I like this Pokemon because he's super-fly"
This thread is so educational about pokestrategy... if I ever replay I'm going to be so much better at this game!
Who is everyone's "cult Pokemon"? Like one you don't see used often, isn't really that useful, but you still like to use because you either really dig their concept or because they are useful (like Starmie as a HM mule)
I liked Parasect, since I used him as my Mewtwo killer when facing my buddies. He was a tough matchup for him.
As far as concept, I really like Slowbro. He just reminds me of a really dimwitted, possibly intoxicated frat boy who says "Bro..." all the time. I find it hilarious that he has an angry shell that looks like it is eating his tail but he is too slow to realize it and just continues on with life, rofl.

DELIBIRD!
Seriously, look at that bird and tell me he doesn't make you happy. You can't, can you? BECAUSE HE'S FREAKING SANTA CLAUS!
Sure, he's absolutely useless, quadruply weak to rock, and the only move he knows is Present, but the moment you catch him in the Ice Path is the happiest in the game. He's super rare and hard to catch. And he's adorable. Definitely the favorite pokemon I love to never use.
...I want a delibird plushy now... >.>;;
Other cult favorites include Mantine, Lanturn, Girafarig, and Politoed.
I don't know if they are cult favorites, but my personal favorite team consists of Haxxorus, Houndoom, Lapras, Gardevoir, Aerodactyl, and Blaziken (Kung Pow Chicken).

Haha, @Nimran I had to look up Blaziken after your description and that guy is totally cool. Looks like a rooster that took levels in Sun Soul Monk
I love Kangaskhan, even if she is not exactly great, Comet Punch is hella-cool. Hmm... I almost always catch Jigglypuff, Pikachu and Clefairy (I do use The Clef at times, he's pretty decent).
I do think Slowbro is cool, but he was really awesome in Gen 1 if he relies on Amnesia and Rest. Not likely to win vs Snorlax, but still pretty tough. Depending what attacks you take, he can really clear a field.

I like Psyduck. He wasn't very good iirc, but I liked him in the show because he has no idea what's going on and even finds his own name confusing.
And yes, I know this is really late, but Russell Wartortle is my favorite thing I've ever seen here and deserves to be seen by all. Although he looks more like original Squirtle to me.
70/151. Depressingly good seeing as it's been years and years since playing the game/ watching the show. Granted this thread helped, but apparently I watched way too much of it as a kid.

If you gave Westbrook huge ears he'd be a pokemon

This disturbs me.

I always picked Torchic in Gen 3. ^_^;;
