I just started also!
BUT....well i have no clue abou pokemon (in a sense of which are good and which are not)
I do remember myself choosing Cyndaquil last time (in Silver back in 2000??), so im guna try Chikorita or Totodile.
Will post again in 2 hours (i literally have just started! :P wish me luck)
