Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
I think starters are cool! It's just they're overused in-game and my favorite (serperior) is likely going to be popping up a lot online so I don't use them.
My favorite starter lines in order:
Snivy
Oshawott
Turtwig
Totodile
Bulbasaur
Charmander
Piplup
Treecko
Torchic
Mudkip
Tepig
Chimchar
Cyndaquil
Chikorita
Squirtle
Between trios I'd say either Sinnoh or Unova's are the best.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
Yes they do :3 I play my Blue rom to death. I could play R/B forever. And I like all the starters in those games, too~ I usually pick Charmander or Squirtle, but sometimes I'll go with Bulbasaur, just so he doesn't feel neglected..

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
Me neither. In my opinon, the 5th Gen Pokemon in general are a little...too complex. I like the older Pokemon because of the design. Of course, it could be that I'm not used to the new ones...but still. If I have to pick from the new 5th Gen starters, Oshawott for the evolution. But if I have to pick the starters and NOT the evos, Snivy.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
My favorite starter is Cyndaquil!! He's just a cutie...And Typhlosion is badass. Also, when I first got Silver it was the first starter I picked, and I called mine Tails and he was my love for a few years. Good times. n__n ♥
I also think Squirtle and Bulbasaur are cute though. I don't like any starters MUCH after 2nd Gen, but... I kinda like Torchic I guess...Ouu. And I've not even got B/W yet. xDDDD

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
I'll say my opinion on each region's.
Kanto: Charmander is absolutely adorable, and Charizard is cool. I love Bulbasaur and Ivysaur, although Venusaur not so much really... it loses its charm and cuteness. Squirtle's cute on its own, but it just sort of says "meh" to me. I tend not to pay much attention to it, although I don't mind it or its evolutions. Overall, very reptilian region, and I'm okay with most of them.
Johto: Probably my favourite region in terms of starters. Chikorita and its evolutions are nice-looking and charismatic to me. I love the flowers on Meganium and light-hearted feel of them. Very soothing and nonthreatening. Cyndaquil's cute, although Quilava is my favourite in the entire line. Typhlosion's pretty cool though too. I enjoy the placement of the fire on all of them and overall, the unique colour scheme for Fire-types. Totodile's adorable, I love it right off the bat. When it evolves, it loses some of that in my opinion, and I don't really like its evolutions so much as it... (Feraligatr's kinda bulky) but they're still nice too.
Hoenn: Another good region of starters in my opinion... Treecko is a perfect mixture of cute and cool, but Grovyle is just... oh yes, I love love love Grovyle. My favourite of all the starter Pokémon, rivaled only by another Grass-type that's coming up later. Although Sceptile loses some of Grovyle's charm (mainly the leaf on its head, I think Sceptile looks kinda bald and like it's missing something), it's still great. Torchic is cute, Combusken is cute, and Blaziken is just badass. Great design on all of them. Mudkip itself is cute, but to be honest... I really dislike its evolutions. They lose a certain charisma. Swampert's just... ugly.
Sinnoh: My least favourite. First time I saw all of the starters, I wasn't really thrilled with any of them. Turtwig grew on me though and now I find it adorable. Its evolutions are heavy and bulky and... leave a lot to be desired though. I'm just going to flatout say this too: I hate Chimchar. I hated it the moment I saw it. Just... something about Fire and monkeys doesn't click with me. Monferno isn't any better. Infernape gets cooler, thankfully, but I still don't like it that much. Piplup also is another one I heavily dislike. Its big head really really irritates me... they were trying to make it TOO cute and it just backfired to me. Prinplup is... eh. That's all I really have to say about it. Empoleon is probably my favourite of the Sinnoh final evolutions, but even then, it kinda is "meh" to me.
Unova: Another favourite of mine in terms of starters! Snivy's just great, I love that royal design. I don't like Servine so much because it just seems... kind of awkward-looking. But once it evolves into Serperior? Oh man. I think we have one of the sexiest starter Pokémon on our hands. Serperior's design and colouring is fantastic, all of the patterns and that great big collar really appeals to me. One of my favourites of all the starters too, rivals the Treecko line. Then there's Tepig... I think it's cute on its own. But its evolutions are just ugly as sin, I'm afraid. Especially Emboar... it turns into this... bulky ugly thing. Blegh. Lastly, I hated Oshawott when I first saw it, but it reminded me of Ron Weasley for reasons not known to myself. And that's when I started to think it was cute. Dewott's okay. And Samurott's pretty cool... although it kinda reminds me of Swampert with the design of its legs. I like the big horn on its head and the shell though, really nice.
And yeah, that's my opinion on all of them.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
Kanto: Hate Squirtle, though I love Blastoise. Charmander's cute, and I always have liked it. And who could go wrong with Bulbasaur?
Johto: Let me first say that Chikorita must die in a hole and then lit on fire. I absolutely hate Chikorita. It's too goddamn happy and peppy. It's not Pinkie Pie peppy, it's just annoyingly peppy. Cyndaquil is alright, but I'm not too big on it. Totodile has to be one of my favorites, though. It's so hyper and exuberant and fwee~
Hoenn: I was raised with the Hoenn starters. I love all three of them equally. Treeko just doesn't give a rat's ass about anything and is super chilled out, Mudkip, well, u herd i liek them, and Torchic is freaking adorable. I love chickens.
Sinnoh: Turtwig can die, though Chimchar and Piplup are my favorites. I have this little figurine Piplup that's in my mom's car somewhere, I gotta find it.
Unova: I've only started with Tepig, because I thought it was cute, but now I'm starting to regret it when I look at its final evolution. Oh well, I still love him (I named him Blackie). I didn't pick Snivy because he looks like a smug punk and just annoyies me, and I think Oshawott is gawd-awfully ugly. Though it's evolutions are pretty beast.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
I just love charmander, cause charizard is definately strong near the end of the game, with good attacks such as wing attack, flamethrower, and dig.
Cyndaquil is fairly good in my opinion. Typhlosion just rocks!
Treecko is amazing when he evolves into grovyle and then sceptile. Leaf blade is literally an amazing attack for the elite 4.
I have only tried Chimchar so far in Pearl version, so im not sure about the other 2 starters. Infernape is amazing though.

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
Kanto: Charamnder (His final form is a fucking dragon that isn't a dragon)
Jhoto: Cyndaquil (Two words: FUCK YEAH)
Hoenn: Treeko (Fucking Treeko, 'nuff said)
Sinnoh: Chimchar (A monkey, that's on fire, and is awesome)
Isshu (I refuse to call it Unova): Tepig (Name him Swineflu, that's where the awesome kicks in)

Re: What are your thoughts on starter Pokémon?
Hmm, well... my favourite starter Pokémon from each generation are Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Treecko, Chimchar/Turtwig, and Tepig/Oshawott/Snivy.
... I like ALL the Gen V ones, yes. :D It's also the only one where I actually like the water-type starter!
My favourite middle stages: Ivysaur, Bayleef, Grovyle, Monferno, and Dewott!
Final stages: Venusaur (yup), Meganium, Sceptile, Torterra, and Serperior.
WHAT NO I HATE GRASS-TYPES WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HA HA HA ha ha ha ha ha ha...
