I read "Origin" and immediately thought that mean new Ultima, or at least official remakes...

So guys, I'd like a little advice. I'm currently playing through Pokemon Leaf Green and I'm not quite sure who I want on my team. I'm currently up to Vermillion City and I've already got a Charmeleon and a Mankey (debating whether to swap it for a Hitmonlee when I get to Saffron). What would you guys recommend for my other four pokemans? Oh, and I'm strongly leaning towards Snorlax, Starmie and either Jolteon or Magneton as additions, though their inclusion in my team is by no means certain.

My knowledge of Pokemon isn't that great, but I usually try to keep a Kadabra (or Alakazam if you can trade). I also don't like using fighting Pokemon, but I prefer Primape. I also try to keep a Dugtrio, though they're not very useful. Also, a flying HM slave.

I wont need a flying HM slave as Charmeleon should evolve at around the time I get fly if all goes to plan. Also, I can't trade so Kadabra would just be wasted potential (not to mention redundant, as Starmie is part psychic). Dugtrio is certainly a possibility though.

I didn't know Starmie was part Psychic, I just thought it could learn Psychic moves. However Kadabra is fast. Anyway, I usually just end up using Lapras.

I love Starmie.  He/She/It was always a deadly sweeper on my teams, though one punch or kick flattens it like paper.

My team through firered would be Charizard, Pigetot, Kadavra(or Alakazam), Poliwrath, Raichu, and Haunter (or gingar).

Well, after looking at stats, it seems Dugtrio is absolute ass, so it definitely will not be a part of my team. I must say Rhydon is looking like a very nice possibility. The only worry now is that my team will be too heavily geared towards physical attack and defense. Granted, I do have three special attackers, though I'm not sure any of them would be well suited to tanking special attacks.

That said, I'm only doing the single player story so it should be more than up to the task.

Also, it seems that Jolteon shits all over Magneton, so methinks that'll be my electric type. Granted, it's not a dual type like Magneton, but I figure the significantly superior stats more than make up for it.

Well, Chansey is a bastard and a half to catch, but Blissey is a wonderful special wall. Just sayin'.
Ok seriously, is nobody even going to try and avenge my man-burrito?

It's also not available in Leaf Green.
