    On my first time, I chose Squirtle (I was really into water pokémon, for some reason). Usually, I pick Charmander, but later I'm mostly picking Bulbasaur, for a change.

  • I would always choose Squirtle or Charmander, I love Squirtle simply because his final evolution, Blastoise, is a beast of a pokemon and I chose Charmander because haveing that fire breathing dragon Charizard was pretty epic. I dont think I ever chose Bulbasaur, because I always hated what his final evolution looked like.

  • I almost always choose Bulbasaur, save for when I try to mix it up, and I love it. Being 4x weak to bug type attacks kinda sucks though.

    Ever think about changing this into a poll?

  • My favoite starter pokemon is CHARMANDER why because looked the coolest and awesome fire attacks.I know fire type pokemon are weak to water and rock/ground type attacks
    but it depends on trainer who can handle.But still I really like Fire Type Pokemon.

    FIRE TYPE IS THE BEST....

  • Charmander in Red and Squirtle in Blue because of their respective colors, hehe. At least from what I remember. :) They were both really good starters but Charmander gave me so, so much trouble when fighting Brock and Misty but after that things finally paid off.

    Now I'm remember Charmeleon's back sprite, uugh.. not so pretty. But despite the hardships of using him at first it's still my kid self's favorite starter.

  • Charmander was always my favourite, though the other two come extremely close nowadays. So yeah, I went with him for ages when I was younger. I didn't know how to save (or how to leave the house at first), and would accidentally name myself, my rival and my Charmander "Andrew" for ages. I eventually figured it out and played the game properly, although I can't remember completing the game. I generally remember my team through their nicknames and the first ones I properly remember are from Yellow.

  • When I originally picked up the game, I picked Charmander. I remember watching the episode Charmander was first introduced and I just fell in love. However, he is a challenge to get starting with if you don't catch the right Pokemon first.

    Second run I picked Squirtle, and I can say, I honestly haven't done Bulbasaur. I don't know why, I definitely should give it a go. :D

    Squirtle; it was the cutest and would eventually become Blastoise who will always be cooler than Charizard. I'll never forget how as a 10 year old who didn't know what the heck I was doing, struggled through the game using only Squirtle and eventually beating the Pokemon League with a level 92 Blastoise.

    I've played these three so many times that I've gotten to use every starter almost equally. Though I'm pretty sure that my original choice was Squirtle! I though Squirtle was so adorable and I liked using Blastoise a lot! However, Wartortle is the favorite of the line.

    I had Blue Version but Bulbasaur always appealed the most to me. I just like the way he looks and he's more chilled out than the other two.

    I went with bulbsaur, no good grass pokemon aside from him/her as well as you can beat the first two gyms with him and you can easily get a fire and water type but you can't replace bulbasaur :)

  • My first starter in my first time playing through was Squirtle, i've always liked it the most of the three. Bulbasaur is my second most picked of them, since it's had more use for me than Charmander did.
