Well, now we have a much better and most likely canon team.

We later decided that Feraligatr is the canon starter, as shown in tons of game artwork. Togekiss and Tyranitar are both from eggs that you obtain in the games.

Ampharos is from Gold being an incredibly intelligent trainer, so he would obviously get an electric type for the first gym when his starter would be at a disadvantage, being stuck on the ground and having no super effective attacks.

Next up is Sudowoodo, or Arcanine for being a Gold exclusive, who Gold would come across on his journey to Ecruteak, and would probably catch it since it would be effective on the upcoming ice type gym leader. Also, he's a literally rock wall.

Finally we have Espeon, from the Egg you would receive from Bill. And, since Gold is represented by the Sun, he would evolve it into the Psychic type Espeon, who would abosutely destroy the upcoming Ghost and Fighting type gyms.
