If you choose 2 catch your own pokemon don't catch a Dratini! I know starting off with a Dratini sounds awesome but you don't want it! It takes a very long time 2 level up plus it's defense sucks. You start out with wrap and leer. The accuracy of wrap is only about 70 percent and you don't learn your next offensive move until level 15. You have 2 grind 10 levels against level 2 and level 3 rattata and pidgey just for a new offensive move. You need another offensive move if you want 2 beat trainers because wrap sucks! Pick any other pokemon besides Dratini!

Now that's what I'd call poor game design. Is Dratini supposed to be a joke character or something? Judging from that awful moveset, it might be. Either that, or you just weren't meant to have a Dratini at that level. Either way, thanks for the info! It might be helpful, except I don't plan on playing this game...

It may be a joke character, i'm not sure. If you aren't supposed 2 have Dratini that early what is the point of it being a possible pokemon you can catch for your first pokemon? However in pokemon psychic you can't use Lugia as your starter pokemon because it don't have a offensive attack. You can pick mewtwo because the first pokemon you fight will run after mewtwo hits one hp, so i guess it is possible that the creator don't want you 2 have Dratini that early. The safari type zone you go into had a few other ones that i saw. You can catch a Pichu, Machop and another one but i can't think of it's name. It is a grass pokemon from i believe third generation. The Dratini are uncommon so i thought it would be awesome 2 have one. In all the other Pokemon games i have played Dratini is op even at a low level and since you are starting out with a level 5 Dratini it should be a piece of cake fighting level 2 and 3 pokemon. I couldn't have been more wrong. After every fight i would have 2 go heal. Wrap had more accuracy with pidgey than it did with rattata and neither one of them had a accuracy lower move like sand attack. Once you get Dratini at a higher level like 15 fighting most pokemon with twister is a one hit one kill. However i'm sure that  raising any pokemon 2 level 10 in this game that early will be a one hit one kill.  

bloodyb : Yeah when I played Pokemon Psychic I thought it was stupid to have Lugia as your starter when it didn't have any attacks. Maybe when creating these Pokemon hack's the creator's didn't realize how awful or unusable these starter Pokemon really are. They probably just taught those Pokemon would be cool to use as a starter. Like with a Dratini starter you will eventually get Dragonite and Lugia being a awesome Legendary. Even so, grinding Dratini until it learns a better attack at level 15 using wrap, is a lot of unnecessary work to do at the start of a Pokemon. Regardless of it being an official Pokemon game or hack.

That sounds really tedious, having to wrap your way to level 15.

I guess it just shows you that the game isn't of good quality if the creator can't even get the starters to work out.
I wasn't going to play this anyway but thanks for letting us all know ^^

Wow, that's really ridiculous to have a starter that doesn't have any good moves to use. I definitely think I'll pass on playing this one now that I know how bad the moveset is for Dratini.

Haha, so essentially they give you a dratini just to be trolls? You might as well have had gotten a Magikarp! (Long live Magikarp and his glory)

That's just funny, I'll make sure if I ever play to avoid it. Seems counter productive to give a Pokemon who literally can't do anything to a player just starting out.

Yeah, pretty much. Although it isn't as bad as a  magikarp seeing as the only move it knows is splash. The game really isn't that bad. The trainer levels and gym leader levels are way above average so it takes constant level grinding 2 keep up. So far it is like pokemon red with upgraded graphics and a ton of shiny pokemon. 

People can judge dratini being a starter all they like, but they forget what the real problem is. Ralts is a perfectly viable option, yet only has growl to start with
