Name: CourageHound
Starter Pokémon: Tepig(Dynamite), Bulbasaur(Zatch)
Why would you like to join the club?: Well your starter is like, your best bud, your partner, your right hand poke, and best bud for life. As such almost everyone of my starters have breached my favorite pokemon list just because of how awesome, and cute they are.(And why theyre so painfully hard to choose from :))
Answering Topic:
Would they make a good starter trio?
Zorua, Poochyena, and Houndour, anyone?
Even tho I love Poochyena or Houndour, I'd say no...My reasoning is:
1.There isnt very much variety. I'm not talking about types. What I mean by that is they have tooo similar traites that would have virtually no impact on gameplay whether you pick one or the other. Similar moves, similar pitfalls/difficulties early game, and practically identical feel of pace.
2. Balancing issues within the starters; i'm very sad to say that Poochyena just isnt strong enough(not to mention an atrocious move pool), or useful in too many situations to be a starter. Unless him and mightyena, (and a possible new third evolution) were to get some sort of revamp, I couldn't see them being a starter. If he was, it would be like a psuedo-"hard mode". Similar to if you picked chikorita in 2nd gen(only cuz of the 1st two gym type weaknesses but Poochyena is worse).
Previous Topic:What is your favourite fully evolved starter from every gen?
Khanto:
Split btween venusaur and charizard. Venusaur is a giant green plant dinosaur, and charizard is a flame dragon. Both cool designs and both pack alot of power. Really, I think all three Khanto starters are great but I like Venusaur's and Charizard's lines more than Blastoises'.
Jhoto:
Typhlosion all the way. Super cool, funny, strong, and adorable. Frealigatr is cool too but I love Typhlosion that much more. I dont really like Meganium :/.
Hoenn:
I love Swampert. Bulky, strong, cool design and dem mudkipz. However i think i'm the only guy i know that doesnt like Blaziken :L. Idk, I just dont like his build.
Sinnoh:
Al the sinnoh starters were great. Very cool designs and great ideas. As such i tie all three. But for topic's sake I'll go with Infernape due to him being my first Sinnoh starter(meaning on my first run of the game).
Unova:
:3 Do I gotta say it? Emboar! Hes like, my bro. Bravin' through unova,, side by side, both b&b2. Samurott being pretty cool too, the runner up although imo, he cant compete with Emboar. I...dun really like serperior tho.
