Starter Back-Ups hints and tips for Pokemon Red

Starter Back-Ups

Have you ever got to a Trainer, but could not seem to win, because your starter was weak against the other pokemon, well here is a way to back up those starters (assuming you train the back-ups well)

WIth Squirtle, have a Fire-type and a Ground-type with it

With Charmander, have a Water- or Grass-type and an Electric-type with it

With Bulbasaur, have a Kangaskhan, Tauros, or a Bug-type, a Water-type, an Electric-type, and a Fire-type

Hope this helps

P.S. Bulbasaur is not a good starter choice, because it is not strong enough to make up for all the back-up it needs
