Charmander,

grass types are easy to catch where fire type are rare, plus Charizard has better typing, and in firered he gets metal claw at level 13 to held fight brock.

however Blastiose’s line has been statistically proven to be the best option for the game.

first gym good (metal claw)

second gym bad (but lots of grass types in the area that are easy to catch)

third gym neutral (use but magnimite is part steel)

forth gym Great

fifth gym neutral ( but unlike bulbasaur no weakness)

sixth gym neutral ( bulbasaur is immune to poison…)

seventh gym neutral (but not weak, and you have lapras)

eighth gym immune ( its a charizrd now)

charmander wins.

Bulbasaur!!! Bulbasaur is a better option early game and can get you quite far.

If you’re able to get a nidoran male, nidoking can be a real help. You’ll have a type advantage at 6 gyms (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8) and only stick at one gym (Sabrina). That’s just 2 Pokemon. Bulbasaur is a much better in game option.

Because not only bulbasaur is under used but it can easily counter the first 2 gyms and the eight gyms.And it can also simply stall the third gym.Even though charmander has better typing,you will be having trouble in the first 2 gyms.

If you want challenge,go for bulbasaur .If you want to make the game easy, go for charmander. Decision is yours.But I personally prefer bulbasur.

And also don’t forget to catch other Pokemon.
