Top Starter Pokemon


Pahrak Model ZX

For no reason whatsoever.

 

-Gen I: It's a difficult choice between Charmander and Bulbasaur, but as cool as Charizard is, I just really, really like Venusaur. I even defeated a Charizard with a Venusaur once, back when I was playing LeafGreen. Anyway, plant dino is best.

-Gen II: Cyndaquil. Without any doubt, it's Cyndaquil. My early days with Pokemon were a little weird, and to be honest I don't remember a whole lot of what I did before Diamond, but I clearly remember Blaze, the Cyndaquil I chose in Gold version who grew into a fearsome Typhlosion that wrecked everything. Not being able to transfer Pokemon from Generation II to III means that Blaze was lost, but all Cyndaquils since have been named in his honor.

-Gen III: Honestly they're all pretty equal. I can remember Blaziken showing up in the anime when Gen II wasn't quite over, so it left an impression on me. I legitimately enjoy the Mudkip meme and my OR Mega Swampert is super-cool. And then there's my AS Mega Sceptile, the sassy vampire lizard plant wielding the legendary Leaf Blade. I can't choose between them.

-Gen IV: I absolutely love my Platinum Infernape--his team was the first of mine to reach Level 100 without cheating Rare Candies. But, I chose Turtwig in Diamond, and Diamond is a game that still means so much to me since it was what brought me back into Pokemon after my interest faded in Generation III. Sprout the Torterra carries a lot of great memories with him, so Turtwig will always be my favorite. Again, plant dino is best.

-Gen V: Now, this is also pretty close. Really, really close. Because I love Oshawott--it was my starter in the first Gen V game I played, and the samurai unicorn it eventually evolves into is so ridiculous I love it. But, the two Serperior I've used were, well...sort of better. So, it's very close, but I'm giving this one to Snivy.

-Gen VI: Froakie, duh. It just looks better than its competitors at every stage, and then of course there's Smash Bros. Even before that, though, training Gali the Greninja in Y made it clear to me that I had made the best choice, and I maintain that after using the other two in my X playthroughs.

 

So, favorite Water starter is Froakie, favorite Fire starter is Cyndaquil, and I'm going to give favorite Grass starter to Turtwig. If a game made me pick between those three to start, now that would be a tough choice...

 

And while I'm at it, best legendary is Dialga. (But you probably saw that one coming.)

 

(Oh, by the way, Sceptile was announced for Pokken Tournament and Volcanion has been officially revealed. While we're on the subject.)

You mean Fire/Fighting types or bust?

 

Eevee?  That means...you are the rival?!

 

Empoleon was a letdown at every stage get your trident-faced penguin out of here

your gen 4 section seems to be wrong, because it doesn't say "empoleon".

god, you are so hopelessly wrong that I pity you

 

Anyway, Pahrak:

-Gen 1 is obviously Squirtle

-Gen 2, likewise, is Totodile

-Gen 3 Treecko, and your indecision here is disappointing

-Gen 4 is indeed Turtwig, and your disdain for Empoleon is righteous

-Gen 5 Doesn't matter because Gen 5 was terrible

-Gen 6 is Froakie because nothing else exists and even Froakie is a disappointment

I always use Empoleon...

 

 

...As the HM Slave.

 

Gen 1-Squirtle or Bulbasaur, can't decide

Gen 2-Totodile

Gen 3-Treeko

Gen 4-Turtwig

Gen 5-Snivy

Gen 6-Chespin or Froakie

Not really a big fire type fan.

Everyone thinks that they're cool with their fire/grass/water type starters, but clearly the coolest and best starter is Pikachu.

You mean the one you couldn't even evolve?

Amen...Cyndaquil is the bomb when it comes to Gen 2... When Heartgold came out I once again went with a Cyndaquil, and by the end he was able to take on the entire Elite four by himself, with a healthy supply of Leppa berries and Full Restores...
