Can someone clarify this for me: did Lance, Steven, Wallace and Cynthia start out with Dratini, Beldum/ Aron, Feebas and Gible respectively instead of the normal starters from the professors?
I mean, I thought about this because of watching Paul, and how tactically and strategically firm he is, and how he began with a Pokemon that just gets heavier and heavier and harder to use and manouevre evrywhere, so he uses strategy to back up Torterra's potential movement difficulties. Ash on the other hand has small Pokemon, which, even when evolved, get faster, or slow ones like Torkoal and Snorlax which are fast anyway, so he relies less on tactics and strategy, more on hit-and-run and scroll through the moveset and use all atacks possible. Ash doesnt stick to gameplans, but improvises sometimes genius, sometimes appalling gameplans. Paul sets a plan and sticks firmly to the letter.
So, do trainers who have first Pokemon that are very difficult to train become better trainers overall? Because the champions have those like Dratini and Beldum which take forever to train and, for example, might still be a Gabite/ Metang when someone else at the same level already has a Swampert/ Charizard etc. From this, they need to learn how to use those 'weaker' Pokemon to win battles, so by the time those hard to train Pokemon, like Feebas, finally grow to their full potential, their strength is stunning.
