2nd Gen What's your favorite starter?

[blue]

I like Cyndaquils/Typhlosions power, My old favourite was Totodile but now it's Chikorita :)

 

[Bruno™]

I love Cyndaquil, without a doubt .

 

[Kalsard]

Cyndaquil and his big nose. :)
and it looks so cute.

 

[blaze_the_cat]

Totodile. I dont know why, i have just always liked it.

 

[Danikamakaze]

I'm pretty sure Totodile was my first ever starter.
That little dancing dile has a special spot in my heart :3

 

[Porygon Z]

Kanto Starter: Charmander (Always!)
Johto Starter: Totodile

 

[Sceptile0111]

I've always been partial to Cyndaquil ever since my very first GenII playthrough (Silver by the way). I remember starting with Cyndaquil so that I would have the advantage against the bug gym.

I do occasionally use Chikorita nowadays, though, for the extra challenge.

Totodile, behind Blastoise Feraligator is my favorite water-type pokemon.

 

[Anti_Secret]

Chikorita, grass types just suit me better.

 

[jujuju]

The only reason that I never picked Chikorita was because of the lack of good grass moves in the game. I mean Cyndaquil gets flamethrower, Totodile gets surf and Chikorita gets Razor Leaf?

Chikorita gets petal dance which is just as strong as surf & Flamethrower

You have to breed it in and it is a continuous attack which really tends to annoy me. It also causes the user to become confused and after all of that, it is still not as powerful as surf or flamethrower.

But it gets Synthesis and Light Screen which makes it a great staller, as well as Body Slam and Razor Leaf which are great too.

You can always teach it Giga Drain but it has low PP and Razor Leaf still has a high critical hit ratio though.

When I play during the game, I do not usually have pokemon that are solely used for stalling, but rather pokemon that know attacking moves, therefore I would rarely use Synthesis or Light Screen. Also, I hate Giga Drain and you don't get it until you are pretty far in the game anyway.

 

[cystar]

i HATe all starters accept charmander and treeco

 

[pleryt16]

I like ll the grass starters. I hate Totodile but i like Cyndaquil. the only water starters i like are empoleon and swampert. Grass rulez!

 

[Faline]

I'd have to go with Totodile, although it's purely an aesthetic choice.

Cyndaquil has always struck me as having the blandest design of any starter. He's okay as far as stats go, but nothing's ever really endeared him to me. I like Chikorita, but I always end up comparing it in my mind to Bulbasaur. And that is a fight it is destined to lose.

 

[Charizard★]

Totodile, I love reptiles, specifically Crocodilians.

 

[Meganium]

I always start with Chikorita. It's my most favorite grass starter.

 

[Trope]

Cyndaquil or Totodile, but that's mostly because I'm not that fond of Grass types to start with, Bulbasaur being the exception since it's dual Poison/Grass and Poison is yummy.

 

[rafaeldias]

I like Totodile, but yeah i like Cyndaquil too. Chikorita would be my last choice, but i like it too :D

 

[shamin32]

I like totodile because he's just as good as cydiquil but he has way better and more move that he can learn. PLus he's stronger and capable of strong hits with his high Defence
