Poll: Which Starter Pokemon did you choose?

[Vault Citizen]

I'm pretty sure I chose Charmander on my first playthrough because he looked the coolest, of course that was over ten years ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy.

as for the others I think it was

Totodile
Torchic
Empoleon
Snivy

 

[PuppetDoctor]

I choose Squirtle because it was so cute and plus I liked water type Pokemon the best out of the three.

 

[Ali Andromidas]

Definatly Charmander. I would never choose Bulbasaur because it would get demolished. Sure its better later in the game but the standard attack's suck. Plus I would always imagine it getting completly owned by a fire type. Somehow Bulbasaur dying in flames was a lot less appealing than my charmander getting doused in water by misty. Although we can all agree that pokemon yellow starting with Pikachu is beast even when it goes against Brock. Fastest. Gym Battle. Ever.

 

[tlozoot]

Kanto starters?

Snivy is where it's at.

I couldnt choose so i took all 3 from there trainers and minders in yellow. It was an easy choice. Does anyone remember charmeleons old sprite

In Kanto I picked Charmander, I love the idea of owning my own pet dragon that could kill EVERYTHING.

In Johto, I picked Totodile for the same reason, I want my own lizard of epic death.

In Hoenn, I picked Torchic because the lizard option was a plant and lets face it, it sucks to start with plant type.

In Sinnoh, I picked Piplup because it's evolved form is badass and sounds like emperor, I named him Palpatine.

And FINALLY in Unova, I chose Tepig because he evolves into goddamned Gannondorf out of Windwaker.


....looking back I think I have an unhealthy attachment to the elements of fire and ice.

Squirtle. My sister chose Charmander so I guess I was her Blue. Ironically, I had Red Version. Also ironic that I also lost to her all the time (though that was because of Missigno and Rare Candies...)

 

[JakBandit2208]

I picked all three of them in Gen 1, but I really loved Squirtle. He was just so damn powerful compared to the other two.

 

[Podunk]

I picked Bulbasaur. There were plenty of neat water types, and Fire wasn't good against the first 2 gyms.

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

Squirtle every time. As for the other gens though:

Gen 1: Squirtle
Gen 2: Totodile
Gen 3: Torchic

What's weird is that between me, my sister, and my friend, we cover each starter in each generation (or at least the first 3). We just happened to have different favorites each gen.

 

[TJF588]

Started with Yellow, but I always take the Grass starter. I also always side with the Red game between the game pairs... Except for FireRed, because LeafGreen had Venu-fruggin'-saur on it! Guess I'm kinda Wally-esque about my greenery (Emerald was the second PKMN game I beat, after all, not counting TCG).

 

[vanguard135]

Gen 1: Balbasaur
Gen 2: Totodile
Gen 3: Mudkip
Gen 4: Turtwig
Gen 5: Snivy

 

[aei_haruko]

teh mudkips, SWAMPERT POWAH

 

[Phoenixlight]

Squirtle because I'm an Aquarius and like water-type poke'mon.

 

[Zaverexus]

Squirtle
Does no one else remember this?

Squirtle.
Chikorita.
Torchik. (lvl 100 Blaziken ftw!)
Turtwig.
Done.

 

[Anaklusmos]

Charmander because I loved the second and third evolutions.

1st Gen - Charmander
2sn Gen - Cyndaquil
3rd Gen - Torchic
4th Gen - Pinplup (I first picked Chimchar but a penguin who's part steel, I mean... you just cannot resist)
5th Gen - Oshawott (looks like I've switched to the other team)

 

[bulbasaur765]

I first started off with Squirtle because turtles were a somewhat popular animal with young boys at the time. I stuck with Bulbasaur in the following New Game files afterwards.

 

[Lunar Templar]

back in Gen 1, Charmander, why? Charizard, that's why

Bulbasaur. It's cute, and I tend to favor the grass starters. I've only varied twice, once for Torchic (because Treeko looked strange) and once for Oshawott (because it was cuter than Snivy).

Treeko was neat, one of the few times (and again in Gen 5) i picked a grass starter, every other time, 'kill it with fire' is the stratagy

 

[tobi the good boy]

1st gen: charmander
2nd gen: totodile
3rd gen: treeko
4th gen: ... didn't have a ds at the time
5th gen: snivy

 

[TitanAtlas]

Squirtle, and i haven't regret my decision...

It was on pokemon Blue, and that dragon on pokemon red, looked kinda weak... and the giant turtle with two big water cannons always looked awesome....

so yeah... squirtle... didn't even waited to make my choice... and Gary (thats what i called my rival), got the bulbasaur... so yeah, char-char is the forever alone in my game xD
