5th Gen If you could choose.....

[Necrolium]

Blitzle, archen, or darumaka, they all have good attack and I basically one-hit KO everything with them.

 

[Dillon_68]

Litwick, that candles is badask.

 

[MeiChama]

Rufflet. That little guy is so adorable. <3

 

[MasterLink742]

Either Vanillite, Solosis, or, Tirtouga.

 

[Sydian]

Petilil. Do I even need to explain why?

 

[Tsundera]

Timburr! Most of the pokémon encountered early-game give attack effort values, so it would be really simple and convenient to start with Timburr since it is just smooth, natural EV training. Conkeldurr is a shogun when it comes to raw power.

 

[Spacial Sage]

Archen. Archeops is my favorite pokemon, and my "story" of myself in pokemon!universe has my two best friends and I starting off with our favorite Unovamon (one picked sandile, the other I've yet to ask) and I got an archen. :3

tldr i'm a gary stu who wants an archen.

 

[bugsy555]

that little elctric tadpole looking thingie (still hopeless with the names). im raising one at the moment and its weak but gets stronger as it evolves. it absolutely dominated the flying gym before it even evolved

 

[DeathOfBlades]

Well if its unevolved then I would pick Sawk!

 

[King Gumball]

I would still choose Snivy XD I'm sorry but Serperior is too awesome looking. Buuutt if I HAD to I would choose Meinfoo.

 

[Raichu1988]

Solosis, Deerling or probably Sandile. I think I'd most likely pick Sandile though because I just love it and it's evolutionary line.

 

[WolfAlchemist]

Zorua, Deino, or Rufflet. Deino is strangely growing on me. It's kind of cute, although it reminds me of the Flintstones for some odd reason x3

 

[Beloved]

Cubchoo. Look at him, and tell me you did not say, " Aww".

 

[Eurydice]

i would still choose snivy but if i had to choose a different one i would choose lillipup or however its spelled

 

[Vrai]

I'd probably nab Darumaka (Encourage, please!). Anything that doesn't resist Fire-type moves will be hit like a truck by Fire Fang or Fire Punch or Flare Blitz. Plus, the only Gym that straight-up resists Fire is the last one, Opelucid's Gym (unless you count the first one kinda). :DD

 

[Saikusu]

Scraggy, because he is clearly the coolest guy ever.

 

[champagnepapi]

Timburr, I love its design and typing. It would also assist me greatly in thrashing those pesky Lilipup that tend to spawn everywhere, early in the game.

 

[lamby101]

I've always wanted a Dragon starter, so I'd have to say Deino or Axew.

 

[Pennyroyal]

Solosis. It's so cute and tiny. :3

 

[Ho-Oh]

Lillipup, Purrloin and Pidove's lines. Imo they remind me of Cheren, Bianca and your character. They all grow up together! :D Plus three in each of their evolution lines, so they all match up imo. And all found early ooonnn.

If they were the starters, I'd pick Lillipup probably. <3
