Data crunching the stats of the three starting Pokémon of the original games has found that Squirtle offers the best stats, both in the early game and later on.

Additional data crunching in the article shows that the overall power level has not increased significantly between each version or generation of the games.

    And they still occasionally screw it up. The entire Lorwyn block was very powerful compared to what came before it, the Eldrazi were too easily exploited, infect never should've made it past QA (especially not at the same time as proliferate)...

    Balancing is hard, especially when current card/mons/etc. can interact with those from previous editions of the game.
