What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

Gen I: A toss-up between charmander and squirtle
Gen II: Totodile <3
Gen III: Treecko
Gen IV: tbh I didn't like the starters that much... but Turtwig
Gen V: Snivy <333

Looks like I keep picking all the reptilian starters.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

I would probably have to say that my favorite would have to be Tepig or Snivy. They both look adorable, though Tepig's the cutest. I also love Torchic and Totodile. I also have a hatred for most of the Grass-type starters, too, except for Bulbasaur.

Wow. I actually don't like the Gen V starters for the reasons that Polymetric Sesquialtera stated. If I had to say what my favorite starter of Sinnoh, Kanto(not counting Yellow), Johto, and Hoenn was, I would say...it's a tie between Piplup and Squirtle. Mostly because of theirr evolutions. I liked Blastoise only after Red in HG/SS kept killing me with it.

With me, I judge off of strength concering the gyms and League. Not design so much, except for Piplup which is because it's cute. But then, it's also for Empoleon.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

On a related note, I was kind of hoping for Dark/Psychic/Fighting-type starters for Unova. One can dream...

I generally have a small amount of dislike for people who say this.

Charmander
I'm not sure between Totodile and Chikorita.
Mudkipz~
Piplup, I guess?
Smugleaf FTW!

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

Was Piplup influenced by a certain mix of Mewtwo and Victini? I really love Mudkip, but I hate the meme. Buuuut, it is kinda fun! So I herd u liek mudkipz?

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

squirtle/bulbasaur
totodile
treeko
turtwig
oshawott

I actually love the fifth-gen starters. Tepig is adorable (achooFWOOMP) and snivy is all srsbizshaddap but they really just need love and oshawott is... oshawottish. :)

And the names really aren't that bad at all. (every generation has its lickylickys and onixes!)

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

If I really had to pick, I like Oshawott. Actually, I only like its third stage evolution.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

Me too, I like Oshawott's evos, especially the middle one, but not so much Oshawott himself :P

The Sinnoh starters are my least favorite. Kanto and Hoenn are the ones where I pretty much love all the starters, but have a particular favorite (Charizard and Blaziken).

Why? The Fire/Water/Grass thing is getting old to me.

IT'S A TRADITION. YOU DON'T MESS WITH TRADITION. DUH. <---That is a joke. I do think it is a tradition, but not that firmly.

Well, the Dark/Psychic/Fighting triangle doesn't really work perfectly... Since Psychic deals zero damage against Dark. Which would make choosing Mr. Psychic Starter a very difficult choice.

Anyway, uh, starters. I guess Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Piplup and Oshawott?

True, true. That would make things difficult later on.

My threads are starting to grow... especially my intro thread. It turned into Cloudsong's party. Complete with Silver getting drunk.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

I personally like Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, and Oshawott.

Also for people who want a Dark/Psychic/Fighting starter trio, I refer you to this.

Four options, of which Fire-Water-Grass is the only intuitive one to new players and therefore the only one the Pokemon Company will ever use. The other three might be interesting for legendary trios, though.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

Yup. I love her way of taking that out of her system. Am I not allowed to say that? And Terezi, so I have concluded that no one likes the Gen IV starters. Although I prolly like it since Platinum was my first Pokemon game. Also my third DS game.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?

I dug up a poll from a while ago about this.

No! Nobody likes Empoleon or Infernape...(sits in corner);-;
