~Choose Wisely!~
The Starter Pokemon Fanclub!​
Owner: [supporter]Meganium90[/supporter] ★


why-pokemon-starters-matter-20110225052439347.jpg


Introduction ★


You are a trainer, getting ready to start your Pokemon journey for the very first time. You go to the Pokemon professor's laboratory, because he's expecting you...and he has a surprise for you. You're eager to get started. As the professor shows you a box and opens it, there were three Pokeballs inside, each containing one special Pokemon for you to start your journey with. He then tells you: "take your time and choose wisely."

Welcome to a club dedicated to Starter Pokemon! These are Pokemon you start with, but of course their growth depends on your wise decisions. These include, but not limited to: Starter Pokemon from Generations 1-6, as well as Starter Pokemon from the Anime, Pokemon Yellow, and the Spin-Off games, such as Pokemon XD and Mystery Dungeon. Talk about their evolutions, their influences in a trainer like you, as well as fangirl about their adorableness in general.



Rules ★

Before choosing your Pokemon, there are some rules to follow beforehand. A reminder that all PokeCommunity rules as well as Pokemon Clubs rules apply. You will be reported to Olli97 if you break any of them.

★~ Spamming is not cool, yo.
Avoid making stupid, annoying and pointless posts that don't contribute to the topics in discussion.

★~ Respect is a must in this club.
Respect other Pokemon trainers. No bashing, trolling, flaming, etc.

★~ Try to be active in this club!
A post a day can really help boost up the activity of the club. Of course, you won't be booted off the club if you go inactive, but it would really be helpful if you stick around. ;)

★~ Anyone can start a topic!
You do not have to wait for the owner to start a topic. When the previous topic is inactive, you are free to start a new one.

★~ Have fun!!
Yes, this is a rule you all must follow too.​


Partner Pokemon ★

You may choose ONE Pokemon to start your journey with. Because well...you can't start with two starters. :P

All Pokemon on this list include the Starters, their evolved forms, as well as any starters from the spin-off games.

Welcome aboard, Avishka! And yes, I fixed that bracket. Me and my common coding mistakes! xD

I see you are starting off with an evolved Pokemon as well! Sweet! I understand that it's difficult to choose JUST ONE Pokemon (I know, it was hard when I was choosing mine! But I just love Meganium too much).

Charmander is also one of the most adorable starters of the first generation, alongside Squirtle. Look at its adorableness <3

My favorite starter is Pichu because (as you can see), Pichu rules. He is super cute and awesome. He can even learn volt tackle which is also awesome. I always have a Pichu with me in any pokemon game i play (gen 2 and on). I also make sure he has Volt Tackle (gen 4 and on...lol). I never evolve him because hes just too cute to evolve. :t172:

I joined the previous starter clubs so I'm gonna do it again!

Username: Hikari10
Your Starter Pokemon: Oshawott
Nickname: Hikari

My fave starter is obviously Oshawott, and I'm sure you all know by now. He's cute, badass, and such a versatile attacker able to run physical, special or mixed sets not to mention he's a SAMURAI OTTER! He's everything I wanted in a Pokemon, and I picked him in both my Black and Black 2 playthroughs.

I like Snivy the best. I like Snivy ever since I saw her in Pokemon anime. Her Attract has attracted me as well *slapped* I haven't fully played Pokemon Black-White 1 or 2 yet, but I know who to pick already.

Sure, I like Oshawott, too, but ever since I saw this little guy, he caught my attention. I think he has potential, and, besides, maybe he is the long-lost brother of Oshawott! A knight hedgehog sounds like a good Pokémon...

I think vaporeon has always been my favorite pokemon~ I've always loved the water element as I grew up spending my entire late spring/summer/early fall in pools and at the lake. I envision myself as a water gym leader sometimes. xD I also love all of the gen 1 starters, especially Squirtle-Blastoise. ^_^

I just love Chikorita. Ever since I first saw it as a kid I knew it'd be my favorite starter, which is still true to this day. :3 Its evolved forms are amazing too but nothing beats Chikorita's adorableness!

If only judging by observation Charmander is the strongest for me.

But as for their final evo's I have to say Swampert.

I assume the first form? Togepi. I'm not even kidding.

Wow, so many members joined! I was expecting a slow start to the group but wow! Glad to see everyone here joining the group, and welcome! & thanks Avishka for starting off with a new topic. I'll add everyone who joined on the list hopefully tonight since my computer lacks a wireless adapter and it's supposed to come today! (using my tablet right now)

To answer the current topic, in which I assume it's the first form of the starter? I would say Oshawott. You learn Aqua Jet before you evolve, and Razor Shell as well. Both moves are useful and powerful against any type, and left me satisfied the first time I played White.

Togepi would be my second choice too. I find a Pokemon learning Extrasensory and Metronome as a baby to be pretty powerful.

And um, yes. You have to respect Ash ;)

Current topic: i gotta say, first evolution would be Chimchar or Charmander. both look pretty tough. But final evolutions, as much as i hate to admit this, Blastoise is the toughest!

What about being too freaking cute and rendering the opponent's pokemon unable to battle. :(
Anyone remembers that episode where Pikachu refused to fight Misty's Togepi? Seriously, what was that all about, I don't even..

Charmander, Infernape and Bulbasaur looks the strongest in the first form while Blazekin, charizard and Blastoise look the strongest

Username: Olli97, I prefer being called Olli though :)
Your Starter Pokemon: Chimchar! It's been my favourite starter ever since I first played Diamond, and though there are some that come close (Treecko, Bulbasaur), there's just something about Chimchar. With a mixture of just how awesome a 'character' Chimchar was in the anime, and how awesome a Pokemon it is in general, how can I not love it. I kinda started liking it less in the anime after it evolved, because it felt like it lost some of its personality, which came from being rather weak and fighting hard to become stronger, to just be generally strong. I feel like it took away something I really liked about it as a Chimchar, which is why I like it the best out of the three. That's not to say that I don't like Monferno and Infernape though, because both of those are great Pokemon too :)

Which Starter looks the strongest in your opinion?

If it's in their first evolutionary stage, that's a bit hard to say. None of them are really supposed to look strong in that stage, and a lot of people mainly choose to go for the cutest ones. Which usually ends up being the most badass looking anyway. But if I had to choose, I'd probably go for Treecko. While it doesn't exactly look strong, it doesn't follow the trend of being a cute starter, and goes for a rather tough look in my opinion. And it's not too shabby either, even though its final stage isn't the strongest of them all. It does look rather derpy in its original sprite though, with the arms sticking out to the side >_<

Cyndaquil also goes into the category of seeming like a stronger Pokemon, but I'm a bit torn here. Cyndaquil is actually one of the cutest starters in my opinion, but the flame just makes it seem kind of intimidating, which could probably mean it'd turn out to be a stronger Pokemon. And indeed it is.
