I know this sounds really dumb, but can anyone help me find Squrtile or Bulbasuar? I can't seem to find them on a map or at the actuion house/pokemart.

For a huge sum of 10,000 coins you can buy a luminous version of a starter by scrolling down to the bottom of the "Game Corner" page. Other than that, you can try to get one by doing the random swap but that usually isn't too reliable. Other than these ways, if it isn't at the auction house or on a trade, you can't get a starter (I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong)

You can't find Squirtle/ Bulbasaur in the maps. You either have to get them as a starter, or trade with others.

you can only obtain those starters by starting or with them or trading them with a person who has them

Yeah, only Auction and Trades will save you there.

or ask some traner who have it. if you have a decent proposition i think they will give it to you. hope you luck in getting those.

Or maybe someone sells one for cash at the "Buy pokemon" section.. Or create a thread on this forum under the Market/Trade section.

you can only get a starter pokemon from when you start the game or if some one puts it up in the auction house

its either the auction house or a trade

why dont you post in the market section so maybe some one well sell them to you :)

they are not in the maps you have to buy them
