you forgot zubat and tentacool outrank it.
SUPERSONIC
ALWAYS HITS
IF THE OPPONENT USES IT
Here's the thing, though: Most attacks that you have access to that early do pretty decent damage to Zubat (Normal type attacks = 1x, Electric type attacks = 2x). Tentacool doesn't even pop up until it's not even that much of an issue anymore.
Geodude, however, is a rock type. This means that if you run out of Vine Whip/Bubble/Confusion (yay Butterfree!), you either have to deal with doing 1/10th of its HP in damage every turn or go back to the Pokemon Center. Or run. You cowards. Ember is a LITTLE better than Scratch/Tackle/Gust, merely because it uses special damage, but that bastard was the bane of my Mt. Moon experience in the first game. It's still fairly annoying in the next games, too.

Has anyone noticed that Katie allways chooses the water starter?
I noticed this, but I feared mudkips.
I like Charmander normally for 1st gen, but I did the "One Pokemon Challenge" thing, and Squirtle owns for that. Second gen is definately Cyndaquil. Third gen I went for Torchic (though I didn't really like any of them), and fourth had me going for Piplup.
