# Tyranitar is a rock type so lower HP is mostly not an issue

# Yep. And paired with Payback, as I mentioned, the slower speed is not an issue.
It can come down to what type you need, or wish, to fill in your team.
Metagross is also very nice and in the same fighting weight. But not
quite as well rounded. Salamence and Dragonites are ok, but weak
in spots. Too many strategies exist for nailing them if you ask me.

Of the three big birds, it is indeed the best choice.

# MAYBE I SHOULD START WITH THE CARD GAME OR SOMETHING

Pokémon has been criticized by some Christians, Jews, and Muslims; Christian concerns over Pokémon have primarily addressed perceived occultic and violent themes as well as the concept of "Pokémon evolution" (which some relate to the theory of evolution), which is said to go against the Biblical creation account in Genesis. The Vatican, however, has countered that the Pokémon trading card game and video games are "full of inventive imagination" and have no "harmful moral side effects". In the United Kingdom, the "Christian Power Cards" game was introduced in 1999 by David Tate who stated, "Some people aren't happy with Pokémon and want an alternative, others just want Christian games." The game was similar to the Pokémon TCG but used Biblical figures. In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group Anti-Defamation League also pressured Nintendo to edit the image of the Pokémon trading cards for Golbat and Ditto because the cards depicted a left-facing manji, which the League interpreted as antisemitism, although these cards had been intended for sale only in Japan with Nintendo planning to release edited versions in North America the following year. In 2001, Saudi Arabia banned Pokémon games and cards, alleging that the franchise promoted Zionism in violation of Muslim doctrine. Pokémon has also been accused of promoting cockfighting and materialism. In 1999, two nine-year-old boys sued Nintendo because they claimed that the Pokémon Trading Card Game caused their problematic gambling.

# you can get an old DS for pretty cheap these days
and you can buy a flash cart online for around $40 so you can download the games for freee

# Nope. Gameboy Advance is the cheapest option.
Second hand, and get Emerald. If you like dungeon adventures get Rescue-Red.
Or if you have original Gameboy color, Gold. But that one is a slow slog.

Also
Emulator applications and download some ROMS.
