How do I keep my Pokémon from evolving
Press B when it starts to evolve. It will try to evolve again the next time you gain a level.
Can't you just use Rare Candy to raise a Pokémon to level 100 instead of battling?
You could but Rare Candy doesn't raise a Pokémon's stats as much as battling even if you use Protein, Calcium, Carbos, and Iron on it too it's stats will still be worse than a Pokémon raised by hand. Wild Pokémon to will have worse stats than those raised to that level.
Which starting Pokémon is better?
It's a matter of personal preference. Bulbasaur is the easiest to start with and Charmander is the hardest. However none of the 3 is really better.
What do I get when I complete my pokédex?
A diploma that has no purpose except to prove you caught 150 pokémon.
