Master of the Fork
Cid's Knight
Charmander of course!
I recently defeated Brock with Charmander alone because apart from Tackle only that Charger attack is dangerous and that one is useless if you don't attack.

Well you picked the wrong version thenNo you can't
You are all casuals with filthy casual reasoning.
Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard have the highest Speed and Special, and therefore, the highest DPS in Generation I. It's the best for players who don't know what they're doing, because even in Generation I, Charmander can defeat Brock, simply because Onix's Special stat is so low, so Ember can kill it in five turns at level 9. Charmander only struggles with Misty, so the real question is, why haven't you caught a Pikachu (also an OP Pokemon)?
Squirtle is the best for non-glitched any% speedruns. This is because of its typing, which allows it to survive the Misty encounter with ease, which is something the Nidoking runners struggle with and where most Red/Blue speedruns die. Squirtle can learn Mega Punch and Mega Kick, giving it access to some very high base power moves. Even in Nidoking runs, Squirtle is the starter of choice (because it makes cutscenes go faster).
Bulbasaur is currently the best starter for catch-'em-all 100% speedruns. Charmander, Squirtle, and some other version Pokemon are easier/more strategic to generate with a fully optimized name for the Old Man glitch. It's the fastest overall until you can generate a level 100 Gengar in Mt. Moon, so Bulbasaur's traditional weaknesses (typing, poor moveset) don't show.
No, the real question is why don't you have Gyarados when fighting Misty. You can get a Magikarp early and using it in random battles, the Moon Mountain and North of Cerulean City results in it evolving early enough making the Gym Battle easy enough and giving you a Pokémon you can use for the rest of the game. Gyarados is not even threatened by Lt. Surge because Lt. Surge is beaten by a single Dugtrio.

Squirtle is the only one who had sense enough to get sunglasses. For generation 1 I owned Red, Blue, and Yellow. Red was the first I played and I played it entirely with a Squirtle evolved in to a Blastoise. I literally just used Blastoise eventhough I had other Pokemon, it just wasn't necessary. I one hit KOed pretty much everything even other water. It was pretty hilarious. I am pretty much supreme with water Pokemon. For Gold, Diamond, X, and Alpha Sapphire my strongest Pokemon were water Pokemon. It's meant to be.
"smurf y'all mean blasting off at the speed of light? BLAST THIS!"
Squirtle 'cos Blastoise is awesome.
Bulbasaur's the cutest.
Without knowing anything about Pokemon or anything like that, I'm going to say
Charmander.
Though Meowth is my favorite of course
I am just sick to death of charmander.
if ur american and u dont say squirtle then ur a terrorist becuz blastoise is the only pokemon to exercise his 2nd amendment rights
bulbasaur is the worst becuz it gets slaughtered by zubats in mt moon lmao
why do you hate me
I haven't caught a Gyarados because I caught a Pikachu. Pikachu is not threatened by Misty's or Surge's gyms at all. Gyarados learns Bite at level 20, which makes it outclassed in Generation I by Squirtle. I don't even need to catch a Dugtrio. Gyarados' Special is still really bad in Gen I, so the best move that it learns is Strength, not counting Hyper Beam.
Even further than that, you don't even mention that instead of Trainer-Fly to get Gengar with Night Shade, you can Trainer-Fly yourself a level 100 Gyarados with Dragon Rage in Mt. Moon. So instead of getting the useful Gyarados, you got the useless Gyarados.
Have you played this game before?

No reasonable person could ever be expected to know any of this.
