Well, the title says it all. Which starter would you choose in GSDS?
I would certainly pick Chikorita or Tododile. Their evolutions are my Johto favorites. =D
BeachBoy
May 10th, 2009, 12:51 AM
I started with Chikorita on Gold back then, and that's what I'll start with when Heart Gold comes out. :D
However, I'll probably get Totodile on SoulSilver.

Cyndaquil.
I've always had a place in my heart for flaming hedgehogs. ♥

May 10th, 2009, 12:52 AM
I am going to get Chikorita in Heart Gold because that's my favorite starter in the Johto Region.
Charliezard
May 10th, 2009, 12:54 AM
I'll be getting Chikorita x3 Bayleef is just awesome. Then again Totodile and Cyndaquil are pretty neat...
The Red Chain
May 10th, 2009, 12:55 AM
I'll be getting Cyndaquil.. I love the whole evolution family.
I had a Typhlosion in the original Silver that I just adored so much.. so I feel obligated to 'relive' that little memory in Soul Silver.

May 10th, 2009, 12:55 AM
Cyndaquil.
It's my favorite starter of all time. :)

Soul Silver- Cyndaquil
Heart Gold- Totodile

I'll end up going with Totodile or Cyndaquil.

Cyndaquil on Silver, Chikorita on Gold. ... Or vice versa.
Evil Sonic
May 10th, 2009, 01:07 AM
Totodile, because I love water types.
And I choose it on the rom (Never actually played the game on a GBC *sad*).
The Apprentice™
May 10th, 2009, 01:07 AM
I would choose Cyndaquil because he pwns =D hehe
BassFace
May 10th, 2009, 01:09 AM
I'll go with Cyndaquil and Chikorita if I happen to get both games, but since I'm really only planning to get Heart Gold, I think I'll be going with Cyndaquil. It'll be nice to go with a fire-type starter again, since I've been choosing the water-types in the more recent games.
Also, Cyndaquil and Quilava = <3.
Swift!
May 10th, 2009, 01:10 AM
I'll be choosing Cyndaquil, because that's what I chose the first time I played Gold.

Totodile.
Just the best!

Totodile.
I chose it when I played Gold on a Singapore airlines flight.

Cyndaquil
Because it is an awesome flaming hedgehog.
Omega Saikon
May 10th, 2009, 01:19 AM
Definitely Chikorita. Personally, my first game was Crystal. But I'm going ahead and playing HG first while my sister is getting SS. Although, I'm probably going to get all 3 starters when I finish the gameplay.
Retro Bug
May 10th, 2009, 01:22 AM
Cyndaquil, I can't imagine not starting with it. D: (On SoulSilver)
For HeartGold I'll probably go with Totodile, (Guess I can imagine.) or just abandon my starter to PC Box Prison.
Reina
May 10th, 2009, 01:24 AM
Ugh.
Johto region is my fav and I'm so sad that I won't be able to get them all. ;3;
I'm probably gonna start with Chikorita, but since I'm getting both, use my friends DS to trade the others over~ ^^

May 10th, 2009, 01:31 AM
I'll choose Cyndaquil just because I like it best. The whole evolution line.
Ob the other hand I never chose Totodile before...but meh, I'll stick with Cyndaquil

May 10th, 2009, 01:33 AM
Cyndaquil. I always name it Barbecue too.

Definately Chikorita on one of them.The other not so sure,it's a dead tie between the other two.

I'm-a pick Cyndaquil. Because I love Cyndaquil.

Chickorita for me just so I can experience the nostalgia of having my first level 100 pokemon Meganium once again. T_T
Mike20PR
May 10th, 2009, 01:52 AM
i love totodile cuz feraligatr is a slick sob. but its gonna be tough cuz all three are great
its the first gen that gave me so much trouble deciding on who to choose
Wish
May 10th, 2009, 01:52 AM
Totodile.
It was my very first pokemon. Ever. It was my first choice back in the Second Generation. It also happened to be my first level 100 Pokemon as well. I would choose Totodile for nostalgic reasons.
Cham
May 10th, 2009, 01:55 AM
It is a very hard choice. Gold and Silver was the only generation where I like all 3 starters equally. If I had to pick one though, I'd probably say Cyndaquil since I have so many water pokemon I like, I'd prefer them over Toto.
Hiroshi Sotomura
May 10th, 2009, 01:56 AM
I always loved my Typhlosion. I mean, I believe all the Johto starters are pretty balanced, right? Cyndaquil has always been my favourite, and I'm kinda reluctant to let it evolve, actually. It's my favourite starter, so I'm definitely picking it when I start.
Lady Gaga
May 10th, 2009, 02:10 AM
Heart Gold - Cyndiquil
Soul Silver - Chikorita

Depends on my mood at the time, but Totodile is my favorite. I like 'em all, though. ;)
Klippy
May 10th, 2009, 02:15 AM
Totodile for sure. My favorite starter ever. XD; I think it'd be cool if they let you get all three eventually, much like in Yellow. :D
Dextrose
May 10th, 2009, 02:29 AM
I have a soft spot for Totodile. And the Everstone. Together they are love.
Stash23
May 10th, 2009, 02:29 AM
Cyndaquil; hands down!
Out of all of the gen starters, Cyndaquil just managed to squeeze into my heart! xD Also, it was my first fire type that wasn't um, the right way of saying it -- society expected. I choose Cyndaquil because it appealed to me, not just because everyone else choose it.
Kokuo
May 10th, 2009, 02:47 AM
I'm picking Totodile.
I picked Totodile back in Silver so I'll pick it in Soul Silver too.

I usually go for fire types, but I'm going to start with Totodile =D
Forgotten Memory
May 10th, 2009, 03:04 AM
Totodile. I've always picked the water-type starter, in every game; always. :D
(but occasionally when I restart the games I choose the grass-types~)
Keyaki
May 10th, 2009, 03:12 AM
Cyndaquil, duh
Always went with the Fire-types, always will
TwilightBlade
May 10th, 2009, 03:15 AM
Definitely Cyndaquil so I can relive the good ol' days. Typhlosion is my first and only true level 100 pokemon. : D
Gummy
May 10th, 2009, 03:19 AM
Chikorita is easily the most adorable starter out there, and I feel that it packs quite a punch. The only thing it has against it is the first couple of gyms and trainers (BELLSPROUT!!!). If not Chika, then Cyndaquil. Definitely not Totodile, though. Never been a water starter fan.
Omer.
May 10th, 2009, 03:34 AM
Toto-Toto-diiile! I've always used that Pokemon in 2nd Gen games, and there's no difference now.
ISa56
May 10th, 2009, 03:56 AM
Cyndaquil. I accidently clicked Chickorita:nervous: Anyway, when I had a Thyplosion on my Silver, he was nearly unstoppable. The only thing that stopped him were Dragon types. (Probably why I found Lance annoying in FRLG) Totodile is okay(I guess) and Chickorita is cuter than Turtwig, but I've never really liked Megmanium.

I love that little guy! :D
Gusxx1
May 10th, 2009, 03:59 AM
Cyndaquil. Chikorita is so cute, But i hate it's evolutions(Plus it's hard to use in game as well :P). Cyndaquil has some pretty cool evolutions though.
Twilight Sky
May 10th, 2009, 04:01 AM
Chikorita. I always had a thing for defensive grass starters, and being defensive while at the same time being offensive is sort of a good thing to me. :3
Plus, Chikorita is just awesome.
BinaryPeaches
May 10th, 2009, 04:04 AM
It really depends on the game I get.
Heart Gold: Cyndaquil.
Soul Silver: Totodile.
No. This does not have anything to do with who the characters of PokeSpe are. It's due to the fact that I got Totodile (first pokemon ever ftw~) on my old Silver, and Cyndaquil on my Gold (and Chikorita on my Crystal.) :3;;
kazuya.
May 10th, 2009, 04:05 AM
One more vote for Cyndaquil.
Even though I would perhaps trade all starters into one game since I'm DEFINITELY buying both HG and SS. XD
But then I'm gonna pick Cyndaquil from the beginning no matter what - personally Feraligatr fits Silver the most and I love Typhlosion!
Taichi
May 10th, 2009, 04:06 AM
I used to have all three starters in Silver thanks to the cloning glitch.
If they decide not to add that in for fun, I guess I'll take Cyndaquil.
Ayano Hana
May 10th, 2009, 04:06 AM
Cyndaquil, since I picked him in G/S.
bobandbill
May 10th, 2009, 04:08 AM
I probably will get a japanese version as well/play multiple times. But my main choice is good old Totodile, mainly as he was the one I picked in the first place, back in the old days. -_-
PokeMaster1
May 10th, 2009, 04:15 AM
I'm probably gonna go with Cyndaquil, but it'll be hard to decide between it and Totodile.
True Reign
May 10th, 2009, 04:51 AM
Chikorita.
Not only is it sexy, but it's my favorite starter of all time.
Mario The World Champion
May 10th, 2009, 04:55 AM
It's a toss up between Totodile and Cyndaquil. But I'd have to choose Cyndaquil. I still think they're aren't many fire types in the Pokemon games while water Pokemon are everywhere.
Late
May 10th, 2009, 05:25 AM
Cyndaquil, Typhlosion is my favorite pokémon :D I have to see Cyndaquil following me.
Aliandro Operator
May 10th, 2009, 05:25 AM
Simple. Cyndaquil! As always. A fire starter.
I've always started out with fire types and always will. The only time was.. Wait.. There wasn't. xD!
The only fire starter I felt wasn't all that was Chimchar. Felt like it was a Charmander rip-off!

Even if Quiller doesn't have T-punch any more (oh shnapz).

May 10th, 2009, 05:56 AM
Knowing myself, I'd SAY Totodile, but pick Cyndaquil after all, because I just adore Fire Pokémon.
zerwey
May 10th, 2009, 06:23 AM
Cyndaquil; I always go with the Fire starter. Though Totodile's superevolved form looks awesome.....=D
Astinus
May 10th, 2009, 07:37 AM
It's a choice between Totodile and Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil was my starter on my first Silver game, so if I choose Cyndaquil, it'll help relive the experience from before. But Totodile is currently my favorite out of the three starters.
I'll probably just choose Cyndaquil on my SoulSilver game, and trade over a Totodile from my HeartGold. Just because I'll go with the Fire starter in the first place, as I tend to do.
Bay Alexison
May 10th, 2009, 07:43 AM
Most likely will go with Cyndaquil since he's my favorite starter when I played Gold. That, and also I was able to get through the gyms quicker with that little guy. XD
An-san Rebelleon
May 10th, 2009, 08:08 AM
Cyndaquil.
I'll compliment story mode with other Pokemon. Like Abra, Ghastly and Pidgey.

Cyndaquil. Beating Morty with a Flame Wheel is one of my dear childhood memories, for strange it may sound, and I'd love to do it again XD
Inferno1
May 10th, 2009, 08:15 AM
I always get both games in the end anyway but i thought as if i was never going to get the other starters so i picked totodile.
For me thought it will go
Heart Gold Cydaquill
Soul Silver Totodile
Eeveon
May 10th, 2009, 08:17 AM
As always, I'm starting with my beloved Cyndaquil! <3
Also, Typlosion is FTW! XDDDD;
And because of the kinds of types the gyms have, Cyndaquil makes it easier for you! :D
Sweet Smoochum
May 10th, 2009, 08:31 AM
If Tododile's sprite is just as cute as the DPP one, probably that one. I love Chikorita w/ all my heart and Cyndaquil is amazing, but Tododile is the one that I have given the least attention to in the past. After seeing Chikorita following the main character, I'll probably end up getting both games so I can keep doing a new game in one of them. ^_^ The DPP sprite of Tododile is the cutest Tododile sprite I have ever seen compared to the original sprites of Tododile. (Besides, I already have Chikorita in Platinum. Its egg hatched on my birthday. ^_^)
Silhouette
May 10th, 2009, 08:33 AM
I would have to say Cyndaquil. I like Totodile, and I never really use Chikorita or it's evolutions. Plus, the nostalgia.

I always choose the water type the first time around. Besides, i love totodile! It's always been one of my favorates.
Glaceon_
May 10th, 2009, 10:46 AM
This would be a very hard decision for me to make... because I really liked the Johto Starters... but in the end, I will probably end up going with Totodile. Likewise with which game I'm going to buy, Totodile was the Starter I chose on the first Generation II game I had; Gold. So I think nostalgia reigns supreme for me, this year. XD
PatJamma
May 10th, 2009, 10:49 AM
Cyndaquil by far! I remember when I didn't know how to get to kanto way back then and I had a lvl 100 typhlosion from killing the E4 so much before I figured it out
Floris2Burn
May 10th, 2009, 10:52 AM
cyndaquil!
always the fire starter... except the d/p then (the new dp pkmn don't look so good, especially... *shivers*)
only if one of the others would evolve into some dragon i'd reconsidder taking an other then the fire.. but they don't. *starts dreaming*
CrazyCubone
May 10th, 2009, 10:55 AM
The only thing I hated about Gold/Silver was the starters. It's so hard to pick one because they're all so equally AMAZING! Seriously, Johto starters are the best out of ANY generation. But I think I'll choose Cyndaquil.

May 10th, 2009, 12:26 PM
Woops...I meant to click Cyndaquil in the polls. Oh well.
Cyndaquil was the first pokémon I ever had, so I'm going to "reincarnate" him, hehe. May Arceus rest his zombie bones...
BassFace
May 10th, 2009, 12:35 PM
Yes, I'm going to try to "reincarnate" my old Crystal team in HeartGold, since I'm definitely getting that game. If I decide to get the SoulSilver version as well (you never know, if these games turn out to be as awesome as I think, I just might), I'll attempt to re-create my old Gold team, which had Chikorita as my starter.
One thing that's sort of been a rule with me since the Gen II games is that my starter has to be female. Yes, even Typhlosion.
.inLOVE
May 10th, 2009, 12:47 PM
I'll pick Totodile most likely, since it's evolutions are powerful and it was what I had in Crystal.

May 10th, 2009, 12:52 PM
I'm gonna pick Cyndaquil because that was the pokemon i had when i played Silver then.

I'd choose Totodile.
If you have ever played Pokemon Colosseum,then you know how powerful that thing gets!I also like its evolutions.Feraligator will kick some tail............
Rekky
May 10th, 2009, 02:50 PM
Chikorita in Heart Gold, Cyndaquil in Soul Silver. Those are the two I started with in the old games. Pity there isn't going to be a remake of Crystal; that way I could let history repeat itself properly and pick Totodile.
To be fair though, it doesn't really matter. I'll end up acquiring all three starters on both games providing the GTS will still be around. And it probably will be.
GreenStorm
May 10th, 2009, 02:55 PM
I'm not really sure. They're all good. This is always one of the hardest decisions when you start playing. I chose Totodile in Crystal, so maybe him.
Ru-Kun
May 10th, 2009, 03:03 PM
Probably Cyndaquil, but I'm not fully sure yet.
Omega Saikon
May 10th, 2009, 03:06 PM
Okay, since my starter will be Chikorita, I've already planned out my E4 team that I'll use, given the fact that the same Pokémon will be around the same routes and stuff. This is extremely exciting. ;3
Poliwhirl#1
May 10th, 2009, 03:16 PM
I think that Cyndaquil is the best of the fire starters but I would still go for Totodile first time as water pokemon rule.

I'll definitely choose Chikorita in Heart Gold. That's who I chose in my Gold back when it first came out. I want to re-live it all!
If I decide to get Soul Silver, I'll probably choose Totodile.
CollinP
May 10th, 2009, 03:32 PM
I Usually Pick Chikorita First, Than When I Beat That Game, I Usually Choose Cyndaquil (my Two Fav Pokemon EVER)- I Switch Beetween The Two Every Time I Beat The Basic Game, And Then When I Get Really Bored Of Them, I Choose Totodile (it's so weird, when i was 6 it was my favorite, now it barely scratches my top 30)
Dunsparce
May 10th, 2009, 04:43 PM
Heart Gold: I'll play as a Boy, and I'll pick Cyndaquil
Soul Silver: I'll play as a Girl, and I'll pick Chikorita
Lana.
May 10th, 2009, 04:49 PM
Chikorita, because they are adorable ^^
Maybe if I get them both, or I go through the game again, I'll pick Totodile, because he was the one I always chose when I played Crystal years ago.
Spinosaurus
May 10th, 2009, 05:11 PM
Totodile is my Favourite.
But Im gunna choose Cyndaquil.
Mitchman
May 10th, 2009, 05:17 PM
Cyndaquil. It has an advantage for over 3 gyms as were the other 2 have:
Totodile-None
Chikorita-None
So I am choosing him for his usefulness and not cause I like it. But typhlosion is total hawtness.
~Kawaii~
May 10th, 2009, 05:30 PM
Probaly Chikorita, it is my favorite starter... But maybe Cyndaquil... (Old nicknames here I come!)

I'll most definitely be getting Totodile as Feraligatr remains my most favorite starter out of any generation.

I would pick Cyndaquil, but since my nostalgia for the old games overcame me and I used him as my starter in platinum, I'll probably use Totodile.
Retribution
May 10th, 2009, 08:01 PM
Definitely Chikorita. :3
It is soo adorable and I prefer it to the mole and crocodile. :3 Plus, I picked it as my starter in Silver and Crystal, so it wouldn't be right to not pick it. XD

Cyndaquil most likely, as it is my favorite. I might get a Totodile traded over to train as well. Chikorita will be covered in my sister's HH.

Totodile....but for many reasons...adn don't kill me cuz of them: 1) He's a water pekemon and I love water pokemon. 2) he's the best choice of the three. 3) he's the first pokemon I chose when I played silver for teh first time =)

I've always picked the Grass starter in my first run through of EVERY game. I won't be changing anytime soon .

I'm going to start with Cyndaquil, he was my favorite in the original G/S/C and still is really.

In the originals, I always started with Cyndaquil, but I'm gonna start with my new favorite- Totodile. ^^ If I can also get HeartGold, then I'll get Cyndaquil in HG.

Totodile, Cyndaquil, Chimchar, Treecko, Charmander *cough*Mudkipz*cough* are my favourite starters, and I think I'll chose Cyndaquil first. Specially because Typhlosion has ERUPTION as lv 57!!!!

I'd be getting Chikorita from HeartGold.
I had him on my first Pokemon game, Pokemon Gold.
Good times.

All of the above.
Finnel
May 11th, 2009, 08:36 PM
Chikorita.
... Or Totodile.
I guess I'll get both games and pick Chikorita on one, Totodile on the other.
I'm not a huge fan of Cyndaquil and its' evolutions.

Totodile.
It was my Silver starter, and it shall be my SoulSilver starter too.
Besides, no matter what anyone says, a blue anthropomorphic crocodile pwns a fiery hedgehog and a green... thing... any day of the week.

I honestly have no clue. I'm playing through Shiny Gold Beta 5 on my micro with cyndaquil, last time I played through gold was with totodile, and before that, shiny gold beta 4 was played with chikorita. Cyndadquil is my favorite of the bunch, but I don't want to play through it again with one. One would then say go with chikorita, but I really hate its evolutions other than bayleaf :D. So it looks like totdile?

Chikorita for me, she's cute and lovable. <3

Chikorita, absolutely, since Meganium is one of my all-time favorite Pokemon. I don't mind Cyndaquil or Totodile, though, so I might rotate all three.

Well I like all the starters and wish I could start with them all. But if I had to choose I would pick Cyndaquil. Hopefully, if i deciede to get both of the remakes I will be able to decide between Chikorita and Totodile!

Cyndaquil. I'm affiliated with Fire, so it's Fire-type starters for me! (ALMOST was going to pick Turtwig over Chimchar because of Turtwig's nice design as opposed to Chimchar's ripoff design (and dual typing) of FAIL.) Anyway, Cyndaquil's so cute to boot, too! I can't wait to (hopefully) have the awesome Typhlosion following me throughout the game, watching my back as well in Johto and Kanto!! :D

Since gold and silver were the first to introduce starters with just only one element (pokemon red and blue, charizard fire/flying venasaur grass/poison) that makes sorting out your team just a little complicated but also fun and challenging!
So which will be your starter?
I'll be picking cyndaquil since hes the BEST!

I'm picking Chikorita because its cute. <3 And the first few gyms will be more challenging.

lol omg almost everyone of my friends wants a chikorita! i just cant see why "and the new sprite sux for it"

I think I'll choose Cyndaquil, but since I've used it almost in every save game in Gold, Silver, Crystal, and G/S/C hacks, I think it's time for a change. Go Totodile!
And he's got Ice Fang so it's not gonna be as before, where you couldn't compete with Chikorita, now it's easier!
Nemaru
May 14th, 2009, 12:49 AM
I'm kind of leaning towards Totodile, but Cyndaquil is still a good possibility. Typhlosion and Feraligatr are both awesome and strong, so the only real differance is the type. Chikorita is out of the question though; it's a physically retarded dog with a leaf on it's head. >_> And not to be sexist, but it's always seemed more feminine to me. xD

Can't decide between Totodile or Cyndaquil.
Do I want a giant alligator, or a wolverine following me. Hmm~!

I am choosing Chikorita because my brother is choosing Cyndaquil and I like to take on higher advantage pokemon for some reason.

May 14th, 2009, 02:24 AM
I am having a hard time choosing my starter now, Chikorita has such a cute new sprite in the game, but so does Cyndaquil. I'm sure I'll decide Cyndaquil by the end of it because I like fire types, but we'll see...

May 14th, 2009, 02:53 AM
I am also choosing Chikorita because of its cute sprite in the game. Also the sprite of where it is right next to you was pretty cool.

A cool feature would be that if your Chiko is a Meganium, they should let you be able to ride it!

Poke-mounts!

Chika Chika Chika~ Chikorita is my absolute fave Johto starter, but I can't remember the last time I got one. I guess I'll be getting one in SoulSilver!

Chikorita. I have good memories of it from Silver version, and if I get both versions my second choice will be Cyndiquil. Why not Totodile? Because Water Pokemon have to many weaknesses, and I can't stand fighting an evil Chikorita(which my rival will have if I pick Totodile)>> A shame the Starter cloning glitch will no longer exist in this game, or I would have all three =3

he's friggin' awesome! i used to choose chikorita at first since i liked grass better than water or fire, but after picking cyndaquil for the hell of it.. he was just 2kool!
Kaori
May 14th, 2009, 03:22 AM
I also want to pick Chikorita because I love grass types. Chikorita has probably been one of my favorite grass type too along with its evolutions.

Cyndaquil as boy, Chikorita as girl, Totodile when I'm screwing around.

I'll decently choose Cyndaquil, because he's my fav out of the three Johto starters and I usually choose the fire-starter the only region I didn't was Hohen. I can't wait to see the little guy follow me around

I've always started with the Fire type first, but GSC really had my all time favorite water type in Totodile. I think I'll try out Totodile first.

I have adored Cyndaquil in the past but Chikorita just represents my love for grass type pokemon. I'll be choosing Chikorita again like I did in Silver, because I just adore it so much.

May 14th, 2009, 04:25 PM
Although I voted for Cyndaquil in the poll, have one in my avy and [partly] in my username, I really don't know.
Totodile was the first I picked, for several restarts, but then I discovered 'the get all the starters without trading' glitch, where I discovered my love for Cyndaquil, who turned into the awesome Tyson the Typhlosion.
You know what, I'll probably trade and get all or Totodile + Cynda.

May 14th, 2009, 04:30 PM
ima fire type guy and will have to have that little guy cyndaquil following me around on my skateboard :D and i'll probably just get todadile and chikorita through a trade thats what i've been doing for all my games even my old silver

I was recently thinking of either getting Cyndaquil or Chikorita and I decided that I will go ahead and just pick Chikorita like the original plan was. I mean I like Cyndaquil and all, but I prefer grass types over fire types and Chikorita's sprite was pretty cool.
Kyone
May 14th, 2009, 06:18 PM
I remember choosing totodile in my Crystal version, amd I managed to beat most of the game with it alone, so the choice is at a standstill right now, even though Cyndaquil was my first choice.

Well Cyndaquil have a Type Advantige on 4 gyms.(Johto)
While Chikorita Dosnt(Johto)
Well that isnt the real reason im Choosing him/her.
But to say I think Chikorita Is great for you so why not Chikorita?
