You don't need to choose a full party. I actually find three players the easiest way to play the game.
The game is pretty quirky, and the mechanics are obtuse. If you know how to abuse the mechanics, it's very easy --- and if you don't, it can feel like a tedious grindfest. It sort of depends on how willing you are to "cheat" and research how the game works vs. working it out yourself.
A few things that seem subjectively true to me, but I lack the hexdump sort of knowledge to prove;

The RNG which determines how your mutants level up is not static, and depends on a few different things:
- The model of Gameboy you're playing on. (GBA is the easiest, not sure if GBC would be identical)
- The number of players in the party (again, for whatever reason, 3 players is the least grindy.)
- The position of them mutants in your party.
Anyhow, if you want easy-mode, start with a human female, immediately sell her weapon, and use that to buy cures and a new cheaper weapon for her, and mayyyybe some armor?
Anyhow, like I said above, there are more ways to game the mechanics than to play properly. Let us know how your run is looking if the thread's still alive when you get around to it.
