    I would choose
    • Turtwig (Some badass evolution! :D)
    • Charmander (Duh... dragon! RAWR!:10:)
    • Mudkip (Water+Ground= pwnage)
    Or, perhaps...


    • Chikorita (Look at the leaf on its head!:5: And Meganium's kewl)
    • Torchic (Blaziken could totally kill you, and you know it.)
    • Piplup (piplup! pipluuuup! pip pip!)
    Considering what Fable said about no Generation IV pokemon, here's another list:


    • Chikorita (:5:need any more reason?)
    • Charmander (RAWR!:10:)
    • Mudkip (*evolves* try hitting me with Thunderbolt.....:t260:)
    This is all in an attempt to never use the same generation twice.

    Mine will come with explanations.

    Johto: Cyndaquill (chickorita is only useful in one gym so why have it take up space.)
    Kanto: Charmander (its useful in all of the gyms except for the first and second one.)
    Hoenn: Mudkip (useful in every single gym.)
    Sinnoh: Chimchar (the bump is the first gym, but after that it is dead useful especially in the elite four.)

    There you have it.

    Alright, here it is. I made sure each one has two evolutions.

    Normal Starters:
    Chikorita, Grass.
    Dratini, Water/Dragon.
    Charmander, Fire.

    New Starters:
    Larvitar, Rock/Ground.
    Ralts, Ghost.
    Togepi, Normal.

    A Dragon starter would be overused by new players, but awesome. c:

    Anywho, I'd go for Totodile, Mudkip, and Charmander. XP

    Err.. Dratini is only Dragon type, and Ralts is Psychic. O_o

    Anyways, just for everyone to know, Nintendo is probably never going to change out of the old Fire/Grass/Water cycle. Also, Fighting/Dark/Psychic and Electric/Flying/Ground won't work either, because the resistances are not equal. (i.e., Water is not very effective (nve) against Grass, Grass is nve against Fire, Fire is nve against Water. Dark is nve against Fighting, Fighting is nve against Psychic, but Psychic does no damage to Dark.)

    Exactly. No better way to explain this.

    Sorry about that, thanks for correcting me. And of course Nintendo is never going to do this, its just fun suggestiong other options for starters.

    Slugma [Fire]
    Barboach [Water] [Ground]
    Snover [Grass] [Ice]

    I think this is fair.

    Three slow Pokemon? I don't think I would have the patience for that. Just training Slugma and then dealing with Magcargo in my latest Sapphire was enough. =P

    ...and on the note of Snover, that has to be one of the worst type combo's ever created. I really have to wonder what incentive they give for people to use it.

    Chikorita, Torchic, Piplup.

    I'd love to see Cyndaquil in there, but if you're going to have all the regions, it's best to have something from each region (sans Kanto, unfortunately). For the Kanto starters, it could be something like from Yellow version, where someone would have the starters to give you.

    If there existed a game with all the regions, I'd like to be able to choose which region you started the game from. It would be nice to have the available starter Pokemon depend on the region you chose as your starting region. For example, if you started from Hoenn, you'd get to pick from Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip, or if you started from Kanto, you'd get to pick from Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle.

    If I had to pick a list of three starters to make one starter set, though, here's who I'd pick:

    Grass: Chikorita (Johto)
    Fire: Charmander (Kanto)
    Water: Mudkip (Hoenn)
