Zkitty8 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Yellow - kept Pikachu and all 3 starters you can get Leafgreen - Squirtle Soulsilver - Totodile, then Chikorita Gold - Cyndaquil Sapphire - Torchic Ruby and Omega Ruby - Treecko Emerald - Mudkip Pearl - Turtwig Platinum - Chimchar (my first starter!) White - Oshawott, then Tepig White 2 - Snivy, then Oshawott X - Fennekin Moon and Ultra Moon - Incineroar So I usually pick my favorite starter first, and then if I replay it or play a different version I try one of the other two. Except for gen 7 because I love cats and couldn't resist choosing Litten twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 For most games as a kid, I did a lot of runs and very often switched it up, so I've used them all at some point. Gen 1: Bulbasaur might be my favorite, I think I did a fun number of Charizard runs too, Blastoise was used with the least interest. Gen 2: Cyndaquil easily, but Totodile comes in a close second, Chikorita is the distant third. Gen 3: I think my first was Torchic, but Mudkip is sweet too. Treecko comes in a distant third, but I prefer its evolutions over Mudkip's I think. Gen 4: Chimchar, with Piplup used the second most. Turtwig came in third, but from what I've played, Gen 4 has the best final evolutions overall, Torterra is a fine match for Empoleon and Infernape. Gen 5: My one run was Tepig. I predict that if I did a second it'd be Oshawott. A clear anti-Grass starter bias rises from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phazon Archon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Gen I: I have played Red, Blue, and Yellow enough to have chosen all starters (yes, I know Yellow doesn't count towards this), but my first and favorite was Charmander. I never finished Yellow. Gen II: I have played Gold, Silver, and Crystal enough to have chosen all starters, but my first and favorite was Cyndaquil. I never finished Crystal. Gen III: I have played Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald enough to have chosen all starters, but my favorite was Treecko. I can't remember whether I chose Treecko second or third. Gen I, round 2: I chose Bulbasaur for Leaf Green. Gen IV: I...can't remember whether or not I ever chose Chimchar. I remember taking Turtwig for Pearl and Piplup for Platinum, but...I think those are the only two runs I did this generation. Turtwig was my favorite here. Gen II, round 2: I chose Cyndaquil for Soul Silver. Gen V: I chose Snivy for Black and Oshawott for Black 2. My favorite here was Snivy. Gen VI: I chose Fennekin for X. Gen III, round 2: I chose Treecko for Omega Ruby. Gen VII: I chose Rowlet for Moon. I am unsure about whether or not I will buy Ultra Moon. If I do, I think I will start with Popplio. What does this say about me? Water is Wrong and Bad. Team Magma would like to remind you that water makes the world worse for all those adorable Charmanders. I still liek Mudkipz.

BrightBow Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Gen 1: Charmander Gen 2: Cyndaquil Gen 3: Oh yeah, I actually did play that one. But honestly, I can't even recall any of the starters, let alone which one I picked. That game just didn't do it for me. Gen 7: Litten - I really didn't want to go with the fire starter again but I just couldn't say no to that little kitty. Plus, the settings seemed to be all waves and palmtrees, so I figured that fire types would be relatively hard to come by. If only I had known just how weak it's final form would turn out to be. Nevermind how just about every Pokemon in Aloha is a Dark type. I struggled enough against Fighting types already, so I really didn't need another one. I wonder how it would have performed if I had kept it in it's second stage and gave it the Evolite instead.

Shadow Mir Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Gen 1: Grass (Bulbasaur's evolution line has good matchups against most gyms) Gen 2: Grass Gen 3: Water (Mudkip's evolution line is decent to good for the entire game) Gen 4: I've used all of them, so I can't really decide Gen 5: Water Gen 6: Grass Gen 7: Water (I like Primarina's mermaid aesthetic; the same cannot be said of its gender ratio, however) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, I always try to have a female starter. And having Primarina female... juste doesn't seems right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I mentioned it already Black : Emboar. First time I used it in Black, (because I didn't really like it back then). White 2 : Snivy. I actually think of restarting with Oshavwot. Snivy is the worst choice, and in Challenge Mode will makes the game a little too hard. X : Fennekin. First named i t Blaise, but I renamed her Delphine, since it's suh a perfect nickname.

Strullemia Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) (the ones I've bolded are still my favorite starters from that region) Leafgreen: Charmander. A pokemon that looks like a dragon in its final form? Sign me up! Gold/Soulsilver: Cindaquil. Gold was my first game and I loved charizard in the anime so I had to go with the fire type in this one. Emerald/Saphire/ORAS: Torchic. I had a weak spot for fire types at the time. Platinum: Turtwig. I wanted to do something different so what better way than to choose a grass type. BW2: Snivy. I liked Snivy's design. XY: Froakie because I really liked his final evolution's typing. USUM: Rowlet because owls are cool and his subtype in his final form is original.

Tediz64 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Khanto games : Squirtle (most of the time) Jhoto games : Totodile Hoenen games : Mudkip Shinnoh : Turtwig and Chimchar Unova : I benched then right away Kalos : Chespin (who I nicknamed Chester every time) Alola : I ended up benching them but I did favor Rowlet for his versatility at the beginning Edited June 4, 2018 by Tediz64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamanoir Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 So my nephew started a main Polémon game for the first time with me. Here are his choices : Pokémon Y : Froakie,because he was the "most beautiful" Pokémon Platinum : he was more into Turtwig. He also really love Torterra's design.

Hecatia Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I follow the Pokemon series since I was little, and I always have the need to choose the grass type starter, except in gen VII because Popplio evolved into Primarina which is Fairy and I love Fairy types. Blue and Leaf Green - Bulbasaur Crystal and Heart Gold - Chikorita Emerald and Omega Ruby - Treecko Diamond and Platinum - Turtwig White and White2 - Snivy X - Chespin Moon and Ultra Moon - Popplio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage of the Mist Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 In most of the games I usually throw away the starter mid game, none of them (save for a few) are anything special and there are better mons to pick. All starters have going for them is high availability and the fact that they can power through the early gyms by themselves for the most part.
