What is the best starter in Gold and Silver?

Cyndaquil is the safest pick. Typhlosion has good Speed and Sp. Atk, and Fire coverage is hard to find early.

Chikorita is the weakest start by far, since Grass is resisted by most early gyms.

What new types were added in Gen 2?

Dark and Steel. Dark type finally gives Psychic a real weakness and counter. Steel resists almost everything and tanks hits. Umbreon and Tyranitar are the standout Dark types. Steelix and Scizor make Steel immediately relevant.
