Poll: The Best Starter Pokemon

[Whistler777]

Alright, guys, here's where it goes down. Many an elementary school debate has raged over this very subject: what is the starter Pokemon that will eventually lead you to unstoppable-dictator-with-a-chainsaw status?

Of course, I only include Generation One because everyone knows that there were only three Pokemon games.

My personal favorite would have to be Squirtle, as he evolves into Blastoise, who would easily come barreling through your kitchen wall, break your dining-room table in half with his forehead, impale your mother with the sheer force of his water cannons, beat your father to a bloody pulp by simply looking at him, and then calmly let you climb on top of him and ride atop his shell to the Seafoam Islands.

Charmander, who becomes Charizard. Who honestly wouldn't want a fire breathing dragon?

Squirtle. I love water pokémon.

Cyndaquil... Because you cannot deny that an adorable flaming hedgehog that evolves into an adorable, badass badger that can turn itself into a rolling fireball is completely epic. Also, because Gen 2 is completely better than Gen 1 in almost every aspect.

As for your Gen 1 Pokemon... I choose you, Charmander! I love Fire-types.

What did I just say about Gen 2? There was no Gen 2.

Move along, Sir.

I disagree, and maintain that there was indeed a second Generation.

Charmander. Beat the first two gym leaders with him.

Squirtle, then immediately use the link cable as soon as you can and get charmander. As soon as you fight your rival the first time, get to the point where your rival will whip out bulbasuar against your squirtle, then pull out charmander (or their subsequent evolutions) and kick his ass.

Squirtle for me

I always like water pokemon.

I tend to choose a different one every time I play, but Bulbasaur is my favorite.

Wikipedia seems to read otherwise, my friend.

I have to say Bulbasaur because one he's my fav Gen 1 and it's so cute, and it can paralyze and put people to sleep. want your mom to shut up and get out of your face? bulbasaur stun spore!
plus it evolves into Venasaur who is BAMF incarnate, how great would it be to shoot leaves at people and cut up anthing in your path then have him blast a laser at people that annoy you?

and bulbasaur beat the first 2 gyms easy.

There are over 400 pokemon games. They have total control of the planet. Pikachu sits upon a throne of skulls, watching humanity toil in vain.

Also, Charmander.

 

[Custard_Angel]

Charmander... No question. He may not be the best in the first few bosses (rock, water, electric) but he'll destroy the game with his OVER 9000 powerlevel.

Well you aren't suppose to just use the starting pokemon. The idea is that you have a team.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Fuck the starters. Just go into the forest and catch a Weedle. Use that as your starter.
