He is like the worst water beginner ever! He was in the same part with this Bird Fire fight Pokémon and the grass turtle right?

The Firebird fighter was a mean badass, but the water thing was just lame.

oh yeah, super easy, too.  Go through once, trade your pokeymans off to a friend, then start over, and do it again.  third time, you just get your friend to trade it back.  super simple, start with all three!  

I take it a step farther, and I keep Black and white...at this point I'm at the first dungeon and I have all three on white, then I get to the second dungeon in white, then trade them all back to black, then go through to the second dungeon in black, then continue to the thuird.  Once I get to the third gym in black, I trade em back to white and do the third and fourth dungeons, then back to black and do the fourth and fiftth....see where I'm going with this?  twice as many items, twice as much experience and money, and takes jsut a little bit more time than training in one constantly.  

It's what I plan on doing in Black and white 2 as well. 

I tend to gravitate towards Grass and then Water but rarely fire (not sure why really). The only time I've ever chosen fire is the 3rd generation and thats only because Sceptile has some serious back acne going on.

(This is in response to the OP)

I do change which I start with, it really depends on the design of the monsters in question.

Orginal : Bulbasaur

Gold/Silver:Totodile

Ruby/Saphire: Mudkip

Fire/Leaf: Charmander

Diamond/Perl: Piplup

Soul Silver/Heart Gold: Cydaquil

Black/White: Snivy

water or grass.
Blue: bulbasaur/squirtle
Gold: totodile
emerald: mudkip
white: oshawott

You don't know what you are talking about.  

Mudkip is the best.

Oh yeah! Water Type's for life!!!

I gotta admit, Mudkip is the only one I didn't want to evolve.
I think I kept it as Mudkip till level till level 50.

I simply did not liek Swampert back then
