I'm curious as to how popular certain starter Pokemon are. Whenever there's a new gen, you hear people yelling their favorite left and right, but there's never a clear showing of what makes us happy.

So I thought it would be fun to make a list of all the starter Pokemon, with your most favorite on top and least at the bottom. So list them from 1 to 15 and if you'd like, feel free to give reasons why you love that starter and hate that starter.

I'm hoping with all your lists I can find a common link as what makes a starter great. biggrin

To show you my own and give an example (Pikachu doesn't count, sorry):

Quote:
1. Bulbasaur
2. Torchic
3. Cyndaquil
4. Squirtle
5. Oshawott
6. Piplup
7. Snivy
8. Tepig
9. Charmander
10. Totodile
11. Chikorita
12. Chimchar
13. Turtwig
14. Mudkip
15. Treecko

Reasoning: Bulbasaur is my first love so he's always first for me. Torchic, Cyndaquil and Squirtle all look amazing from first to last evolution, which is why they are high up. Oshawott is lower because even though I adore his first 2 evolutions, his last one ruins it all for me. Piplup and Snivy are the 'ok' Pokemon, I'd choose them if I had no choice. And the rest are all very meh, with Mudkip and Treecko last because I really don't like them. xP

Well, Treecko and Snivy are pretty much a tie...I think they are pretty a** kicking. xd I just don't really like Tepig and Bulbasaur gonk Their evolution ruins them. Turtwig and Piplup are also a tie actually, just for Piplup is my starter and my lead fighter in my first DPPt play. I adore Torchic and Oshawott of their evolutions. Others are sorted by cuteness.

Charmander is my favourite for the fact that it is a fire starter and has awesome evolutions. It is also the only fire type that is not a legendary that can fly unless they added new ones in the latest season. As for snivy being my least favourite it resembles a snake which i hate.

I dunno. I like all the starters very much, so this is hard. Even the difference between 1 and 15 in how much I like them isn't that great.

I'm not a fan of fire types in general, I only really like Blaziken and Chandelure/Lampent. Water/Ground is my favourite type combination, so Swampert is awesome for me.

I love Cyndaquil the most because of how awesome it looks when it evolves into Typhlosion. And Typhlosion is the only one that gets Eruption, like a boss. [insert "obligatory' image here] I dislike Torchic so much now, ever since Gamefreak gave it Speed Boost. I just hate Chikorita because it's a horrible Pokemon altogether.

Not sure why Cyndaquil is my favorite starter, I have just always thought it was so very cute, and just something about it makes me love it so much!
PostPosted: Sun Sep 18, 2011 8:18 am


1. Charmander (A classic starter. He's so badass, he can take down Brock even at a type disadvantage, his final evolution is a non-dragon type dragon, in Gen 3 onwards it was my first Level 100 Pokemon, and Charizard was just the awesomest Pokemon ever. I can't wait to EV train myself one)
2. Cyndaquil (My first non-cheated Level 100 Pokemon in the Gameboy Color games was Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil has a good design, an awesome moveset, and was the last starter before the now overflowing swamp of Fire-fighting starters)
3. Turtwig (The good starter for Gen 4. It was so awesome, I chose it as my starter in both Pearl AND Platinum, and still destroyed everything in my path. Torterra is a tank in tortoise form)
4. Mudkip (So u herd I liek mudkips? But seriously, I liked Mudkip before the meme. Swampert was my 2nd level 100 Pokemon since Gen 3(gen 2 and before don't count cuz of the trade block off), not to mention its only weakness is grass, and in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team I was a Mudkip(with partner Charmander)
5. Oshawott (Everyone laughed at 'Wotter', now everybody and their mom has one)
6. Totodile (Totodile was amazing in all forms. He reaches his final stage at Level 30, his second stage at a late level 18, was a very fun Pokemon in the anime, and he's ******** crocodile)
7. Bulbasaur (It's a classic, but I find others better than it)
8. Squirtle (It's a classic, but I find others better than it)
9. Torchic (Torchic was awesome, since it was the first fire-fighting starter and it had a nice design for being a bird but also a fighting type)
10. Chikorita (Not a very exciting design through all it's evolutions)
11. Treecko (He was cool...when I was 8 )
12. Piplup (Bland design, doesn't get much better with evolution)
13. Chimchar (Boring design through all 3 stages, and another fire-fighting starter)
14. Snivy(got boring after I played with it on a Japanese White ROM)
15. Tepig(terrible name, bland design, and 3RD FIRE-FIGHTING STARTER IN A ROW)

A lot of 9-12 got bumped down from higher rankings as I went over the list xD;

// Cyndaquil had to be first because it was my very first Pokemon. Even to this day, I pick Cyndaquil over the other two starters. I love Torchic's final evolution more than anything. Flat out, I love fire types, then water, and lastly grass. I can't say I've been very fond of the starters for generations IV and V.
