Yuuki_Radosian Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So what starter pokemon do you guys choose , do you tend to lean towards one type throughout all the games or pick your favorite depending on the generation . I tend to always pick the grass type , mostly because I love both chikorita and bulbasaur and in the later generations i kinda hate all the starters ,except turtwig that guy's cool , so I go with the least irritating of the bunch and 9 times out of 10 that's the grass type. Would love to hear your opinions and your choice of pokemon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssjup81 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hm, for me, I usually lean towards the water starter or the grass, although, for X/Y I went with the fire starter. I tend to just go with the one I feel is the cutest. I'm actually pretty casual when it comes to Pokemon. Most people are all about stats and EV and IV or whatever you call it (and I still don't understand it), but for me, I go with the one that's aesthetically pleasing to my eye. Let's go with the original three from Red/Blue/Green. I liked all three....but I went with Bulbasaur...but, I wouldn't let it evolve higher than Ivysaur because Venosaur to me is just...ugly. Same with Blastoise. Charizard is okay. Gold/Silver...I chose Waninoko and I've never evolved it past that stage...although granted, I didn't care for either of the Gold/Silver starters. Ruby/Sapphire I just couldn't get into the games in a general sense....but I think I chose the water starter. Diamond/Pearl...same as Ruby/Sapphire...but if I had to choose, it would be Pochama, but I don't like the looks of its higher forms. Black/White...I chose Mijumaru and haven't let him evolve higher than Futachimaru. It was tough to choose, though, as I liked the designs of all three. Pokabu is just too adorable!..but I only like the first forms. Didn't like the higher forms for neither Tsutaja or Pokabu. For X/Y...Fokko was the only one I actually found cute...but I don't like the looks of its higher forms at all. So yeah....it's all about looks for me. ^^ Oh and sorry about using the Japanese names. Outside of Gen I and II, I've had more exposure to the Japanese versions than their English versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drill Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I usually choose the fire types with the exception of the recent generations where I chose Snivy for Black version, and Froakie for Y version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seacliff Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Gen 1: Charmander Gen 2: Totodile Gen 3: MUDKIP!!!! and never evolve it. Gen 4: Either Piplup or Chimchar Gen 5: Snivy, then transfer a Riolu over and use that. (I don't like 5th gen starters ;_ Gen 6: Fennekin, then keep it at Braixen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokii Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Gen 1: Bulbasaur Gen 2: Cyndaquil Gen 3: Mudkip Gen 4: Turtwig Gen 5: Oshawott Gen 6: Froakie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuuki_Radosian Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Any particular reasons for your choices ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokii Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Gen 1: Bulbasaur Gen 2: Cyndaquil Gen 3: Mudkip Gen 4: Turtwig Gen 5: Oshawott Gen 6: Froakie Even through I like Charmander and people pick this adorable fire starter but I stick with first choice and Bulbasaur is the one! Cyndaquil is one of the fire type Pokemon that I truly love as for the others is meh. I love water starters Mudkip, Oshawott, and Froakie because of their final evolution typing and their coolness. Turtwing needs more love and I love picking this Pokemon in D/P/Pt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuh1000 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 hmm I usually tend to rely on Grass type Pokemon except in the Hoenn region where I chose Mudkip bc for some odd reason I have Treecko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orius Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think I would just pick a Digimon, even over world peace. Jokes aside, I'm usually a firestarter (ba-dum-tss). Charmander, Cynderquil, Mudkip... wait. Yeah. I'd pick Mudkip over that little chick... because first impressions didn't tell me that little chick would grow into a badass kung-fu chicken. Blaziken has since became one of my favorite fire-type Pokemon. Having said that... GROUND AND WATER TYPE! lol Definitely a better combination than "Fire and Fighting type", a combo that could easily be wiped out by a Water and/or Flying type. As for the later generations, I can't really remember their names. There was some kind of pig... and in D/P, there was... erm, a gecko, maybe? I can't remember. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryuji Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 My method for choosing a starter. Choose Grass and done. On other forums, my nick is grassdragon and I'm often called Grassy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatCynicalSnob Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I've always stuck with the water starter pokemon. Been never really a big fan of the fire starters and the grass. Water always seems to fit my personality anyways. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineTear Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Gen 1: Charmander Gen 2: Cyndaquil Gen 3: Torchic ♪ Just gonna stand here and watch you buuuurn and it's alright because I love it when you hurt ♪ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiffon Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Charmander, my one and only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanguineTear Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 It has now come to my attention the gen 6 fire-starter is a fox, and evolves into a fire/psychic. I think Fennekin may be my new favorite starter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZephyrSkies Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 charmander will always be my favorite. i like the original 151 better than the new ones but if i had to choose one from each gen, it would be : gen 1) charmander gen 2) totodile gen 3) treeko gen 4) chimchar gen 5) tepig gen 6) froakie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaBD Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Right now, as of this very post, I'm totally in the mood for living in the Pokémon world I know the feels kimmy-san. Everyday I wish I was in the pokemon world. When it comes to the games I always choose the water type. When the originals came out everyone was obsessed with charmander so I chose the squirtle route instead and I have just stuck with water types ever since.

ssjup81 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I downloaded Pokemon Green last weekend along with Yellow. I decided to use Bulbasaur as my starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myouya Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I would say Charmander to that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ ] Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I was always water the first time trough on all games. Fire second time cause flames are all powerful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigil Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Except for in X and Y, I usually take the water type. In X and Y I took Squirtle and Fennekin I was unstoppable! I either had an indestructible tank or a lightning fast... forget class cannon, my Delphox was a glass Nuclear Warhead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kourin Tatsunagi Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 1st gen: Bulbasaur 2nd: Chikorita 3rd: Treecko 4th: Turtwig 5th: Snivy 6th: Fennekin The only reason I broke my grass type tradition was because I really can't like Chespin lol. Also Fennekin was cute af. Other than that, I go with my grass starters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is super adorable. I learned to love Chespin's line....although it's not my favorite. Quilladin is most definitely my favorite with Chespin's line. It's a cute ball of grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
