    I'm definitely going to be picking Totodile for Nostalgia reasons. :3 My sister will be getting Cyndaquil, so I'll be getting one from her. As for Chikorita; they'll probably have wifi so that's how I'll get the third one of the group. :D

    I always choose Chickorita. It's not that I think it's the best, I just like it the most.

  • I'm going with Cyndaquil due to the fact I plan to wipe through the gyms ASAP and Cyndaquil plows through most gyms easily.

  • My first game was Gold, where I started with Cyndaquil. I remember starting with Totodile around the same time (maybe with Silver, but I honestly don't remember) and getting lost in the route west of New Bark Town :'33. But Cyndaquil was the one that I stuck with for the five years that Gold lived, so I'm going to start with it. His name will be Volcano. :D

  • I always pick the grass starter, as I like grass types more than the other two, so I will pick Chikorita for both HG and SS. That and Chikorita was the first pokemon I ever had.

  • Well, I think I'll be choosing Totodile this time around. I chose Chikorita the first time because I didn't know the Flying and Bug-type gyms were first. However, I'm choosing Totodile this time because it'll be so fun to have an alligator following me around. :D

  • My choice depends on the version I get.....
    Heart Gold = Cyndaquil
    Soul Silver = Totodile
    And yes, these were the starter's I chose in the orginal games....
    Although I remember restarting with Cickorita a few times....

    Well, in whichever game is my "main" (probably HeartGold) I'll be using Cyndaquil, who was my original starter back in the day, so I guess that's a yes. On the other version, though, I'll be using Totodile.

  • I am going to get SoulSilver first, and I will start with Cyndaquil. He helped me so much in Silver and I love his evolutions.
    When I eventually get HeartGold, I will probably start with Totodile. He helped me in Gold haha.
    Sorry Chikorita xD

    Every Pokemon game I got, I always start with the water-type starter. So Totodile :3 Also because he's easier to train for me.

    I remember with my first Pokemon game (Gold) I used Chikorita as my starter. But then I restarted my game and decide I wanted to use Cyndaquil. Ive stuck with that as my starter. I also love the evolutions of Cyndaquil.
    I am going to use Cyndaquil as my starter and I'm thinking of getting SoulSilver first.

  • Because I always choose a starter based in varying reasons and don't recall exactly what I first used in G/S/C, I don't know. However, I can say that Cyndaquil currently is the most ideal of the second generation starters. That can change in the coming months, though.
