But that first grind is the most important. Not only does it prepare you for Brock but it sets the tone for how you'll play for the rest of the game, and if you're lazy with leveling at the beginning you'll be lazy for the rest of the game.

I think if I remember correctly you could get either a Weedle or Caterpie. Can't remember if Nidoran was there but it may have been. I just always used Kakuna when he learned Harden and mixed with Poison Sting, Brock goes down pretty easily. I did love having a Beedrill on my team for the first part of the game.
Now, in Gold version, my first playthrough consisted of Ampharos, and man, that is one strong electric type.
