Which R/B/G/Y Starter?
I was just pondering on which you guys think is the best :)
When I ponder, I need an answer :) Ahh, the orginals. I have gone with Charmander. I LOVE it some much! They are the BEST!!! OMG I LOVE THEM YAAAAAY CHARMANDER Yes, I am a little, ok very obssesive over Charmaders, they are sooo cool. |
squirtle
im gonna say squirtle because it has the least amount of weaknesses.
|
I always picked Bulbsaur, because it rocks and it rules.
:t354:TG |
I pick squitle. I've always picked the water type! I don't know why!
|
Oh man, you gotta go with Bulbasaur.
A Venusaur with Razor Leaf, Sleep Powder, Toxic, and Sludge Bomb rules. |
i dont think sludge bomb exist in R/B/G/Y
|
I picked Squirtle because it Pwnz Brock -Amso- |
Charizard is definitely a great final stage pokemon, it depends on the availability of what you're looking for later in the game too. An Arcanine is a good replacement for Charizard if you get a squirtle or bulbasaur.
|
Bulbasaur - my first ever save.
He's the most fun starter. You get to have fun leech seeding and poisoning or paralyzing! |
Charmander. Since he was always my first starter back when I first got pokemon. Now that I have mastered playing pokemon games now I still pick him for a challenge against brock and Misty
|
Squirtle. He is like, the easiest to start with
|
Charmander because of Charzard
|
Definately Bulbasaur because it is good against ground and water types and ultra effective against rock types when it learns vine whip. i think it learns it at level 13.
|
squritle cause i just like him... and blastoies... and ever since i got a shiny squritle from starters i choose him straight away
|

Squirtle however can defeat Brock but Misty is the exact same type. So there are no good bonuses there. Plus Surge can kill it in like 1 hit Charmander is very hard to beat Brock and Misty with. So he is the hardest |

If you want to pick Squirtle here is a good thing to do.
I remember when I pick squirtle,After I beat Brock and Misty I go to battle everyone on the S.S Anne and I go to train in Diglett cave. I do this and normally by then I have a Blastoise lvl 38 or 39 and I have a ground move or another move other than water and I pretty much have my game started the way I want it. |
It's a really tough question for me. I like all of them. I'll say Charmander.
|
I actually picked all of them, I was still new to Pokemon and was having a tough time with Brock and Misty with Charmander as my starter and then I just decided to play the game over with each new starter, In the end, it was Bulbasaur.
|
Definitely Squirtle and Bulbasaur. <3 Though I'm a fan of Charmander. However, I feel most of the starters are slightly overrated. =/

Charmander, just because its a challenge to train. My favorite starter is Bulbasaur, but its just too easy for me, and I rarely like to do things the easy way.
|
Charmander for the win! he is the spunkiest little pokemon ev-uh
|
squirtle. i dont like the other 2 much...

charmander. I'm always obsessed with fire pokemon somehow...
|
I always chose Charmander. Mainly because I had a dinosaur fetish back when I was five. 0_o
I still do now though. I love Charizard and I always use one, even today. |
I choose Charmander. Its a little harder to start with him but later on he can deal really high damage.
|
Well, for a RBGY starter favorite, you sure did forget Pikachu.
Anywho, as far as design goes all 3 are cute. I never had much trouble with any of them, Bulbasaur has a hard time getting through the routes with Pidgey (you know, back when it knew gust as it's first move...) I've always though of going back to Crystal, breeding out a Charmander, going through Johto with it and see if the challenge is any harder with the 3 original starters or not... though I'm trying this for Johto at the moment: Croconaw, Elekid, Houndour, Gloom, Slowpoke, and looking for a 6th Pokemon, might go with Koffing (I'm trying to hatch a shiny one.) I'd love to go through Johto and use Charmander instead of Cyndaquil, it'd be interesting. |
I would normally pick Charmander, because:
A) My birthday Pokemon (Oct. 4th Charmander is Pokemon number 4 a ringin-a-bell?) B) I like Chrizards. C) Fire is my second favorite Type. (Would've gone for water, but I really don't like Squirtle that much. And since Lightning is my other second favorite type, that's outta the question.) |
I usually pick Squirtle - I love water Pokemon, and I love Blastoise, so yep, Squirtle for me. (I think Wartortle is kinda hideous, but I bear it :P)
Sometimes I pick Charmander though, because I love watching him become a Charizard. I never pick Bulbasaur, he's just not very appealing to me. As for what people were saying about beating gym leaders and everything - sometimes I like a good old loss, a good old frustrating fight. A challenge is always good! |
i picked charmander
i always pick fire xD |

|
well seeing as the question was which R,B,G,Y starter was your favorite I'd have to say that Pikachu was my favorite cuz it posed a huge threat when battleing brock and Surge, even though they did give you mankey and diglett. (though if I Have to choose one of the original's I'd always go with charmander just cuz, and my brother's always said I had a fiery personality)
|
I voted for Charmander as i like charizard & fire/dragon types as alwayz
|
I have used Charmander as my starter.
|
Bulbasaur/Charmander
Bulbasaur Because its cool. Charmander Because its kind of cool and evolves into Charizard. |
well i would have said charmander like the rest of you but i desided to pick squirtle when i restarted FR and it's great (i got a female one and so nicknamed her Misty lol), bulbasaur makes the game too easy to be honest with bulba you only need to catch more pokemon so you can use HM where as with charmander and squirtle you need to train other pokemon
|
^
I'd hate to only train Bulba....Sabrina would kill me. |
charmander for sure. idk why but i've always loved charmander and it's evolutions as well. charizard ROCKS. and i also have always picked the fire-type starters. i was sooooooo obsessed with dinosaurs and dragons back then too :)
|
squirtle pwns charizard w/ surf and venasaur w/ ice beam

charmander... 100%...
nuff said |
i would have chosen squirtle because he totally DESTROYS Brock! but i would have chosen either squirtle or charmander
|
i would either pick Squirtle or Charmander.
|
Charmander. I always, in every generation, get the fire type. Fire is my favorite type, and the fire starter is always my favorite new pokemon; and every time there is a new Fire starter is also has become my new all time favorite pokemon. So, I chose Charmander.
I guess I didn't have to say Charmander because of my avvie though... Ironicly, my favorite color is Blue but I prefer Pokemon Red and its mascot. |
Charmander is obviously the best at attack and stuff....But it actually depends how you train them. But according to me:
1.Charmander 2.squirtle 3.Balbasaur Balbasaur isnt that strong and doesn't learn good attacks, thats why he is always last in my list ~Celebi |
yea i have always been known to like the originals! i remember like it was yesterday!
ahh... good times, good times! |
yes, yes, i remember playing the originals like it was yesterday too!! i remember my dad got me the yellow version cuz my step brothers wanted red and blue... so i had a pikachu... but i always liked charmander the best ^_^
|
I like Blastoise because he's a great UU Wall.
|
Whoops, silly me, forgetting about Pikachu. I missed him because it doesn't actually count as a starter because you can catch them in the wild on all of the games... Sorry all whom wanted to vote on Pikachu!!!
|
Bulbasaur's so cute! He's my fave. I always pick him and never let him evolve into an ugly Venussaur. ;)

I like all 3 of the original starters, but I normally pick Charmander. YAY CHARMANDER! |
Charmander was the best and one of my favorite fire pokemon
|
I have love for Squirtle & Bulbasaur. <3 They are both cool. Charmander is nice, too, but I don't like Charmeleon/izard.
But I don't usually go with the starters. |
My favourite is Charmander, now.
But most of the time I picked Squirtle. Dunno why, I like water ^^ |
squitles the best ,well its not really squirtle i like its blastoise hes so cute and strong *you may stroke his chin but beware of the water pumps*
|
My favorite is charmander followed closely by squirtle.
|
I'm all for Squirtle. It learns Ice Beam and Surf, which destroy it's counterparts.
|
^ True.
I just have a lot of Bulbasaur and Squirtle love....I never pick Charmander. :-\ |
I personally always like Charmander and Bulbasaur. Those are perfect Pokemon Red starters.
|
Charmander's the one I always pick. There aren't many good fire pokémon in the old games (?what to replace Charizard with in that case?) and I sorta feel handicapped without one.
But okej, Bulbasaur is the cutest and the smoothest one. Leech seed+poisonpowder+cute bulb, what more to say? :) |
Quote:
|
I chose either Squirtle or Charmander.
They the bomb. But sometimes,i choose Bulbasaur |
squirtle was my fave in 1st gen
|
ok heres the breakdown
charmander- hardest to start out with, charizard is weakest of the three squirtle- easy to start out with, my personal favorite, solid in the end bulbasaur- once you get him to lvl 14, its really easy to beat the first 2 gyms, venasaur is also good, but his big move solar beam is annoying to use sometime. |

You can buy a Vulpix in Yellow's Game Corner and evolve it with a Fire Stone.
|
I'm torn between Bulbasaur and Squirtle, but I decided to go with Bulby.
|
Squirtle is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Squirtle all the way for me. I just always had this thing for water types.

Bulbasaur is the one who takes the cake and stomps out the rest. Woot woot.
But I must say, Squirtle is cute. ... Quote:
|
Free form Squirtle poetry?
|
I Always choose Charmander or Squirtle
Bulbasaur is for pro's (to hard to beat the E.L.4) |
I almost always chose Charmander, they're just awesome! lol.
Water Pokemon are my favorite but I don't know...I just didn't really like having Squirtle as my starter. I don't really like Grass Pokemon, so I almost never chose Bulbasaur. |
Charamander! I like Bulbasaur- a lot, but y'know charamander is just a bit better. It's somewhat a pain to beat Brock with Charmander though.
|
If you have Red ad Blue, ad you picked a Charmander in Red, trade a Bulbasaur from Blue for another Pokemon, and you have two starters, plus an edge against Brock. Beware, the traded starters get a little rebellious around levels 10-11.
|
I haven't played R/B/Y for a while, but I seem to remember starting with Charmander a few times, and it just being terrible. Now it is good, but before they split the Special stat, it was straight up bad. Blastoise is just the opposite, it was much better in R/B/Y than it is now. Venasaur has always been good
|
As i only ever played in-game, it has to be the bulbasaur line, it rapes:
Brock Misty Lt surge (Due to resistance) Giovani Loreal Agatha (Due to resistance) Bruno's 2 Onix and Lance's Aerodactyl Thats more than any other starter. |
Having 2 starters on a team is a general safety for me.
|
i pretty much like them all,i picked bulbasaur first time then charmander and squirtle then started with charmander and traded them all off my other pokemon game XD
|
you missed out picachu but i picked charmander =)
|
I usually like Fire over anything (in RBY), but I prefer Bulbasaur... I like Venusaur :D
Although I usually don't use starters, I like having a team consisting of mostly "weaker" Pokemons like Vileplume, Kadabra, Haunter, Kangaskhan, etc... |
CHARMANDER IS THE BEST!!!!!!
|
When i first played on it, i picked Charmander.
The next time i picked Squirtle. The next time Bulbasaur. Charmander owns though! |
I love the Charmander line. But I also like Blastoise. Charmander is da bomb!! ^_^
|
Definitely Charmander. Although Blastoise is good too. =)
|
I chose Squirtle in my blue runs cause he's great and
IMO, Bulbasaur doesn't learn Vine whip until Lv14(?) Here's my rankings of R/B Starters: No.1: Squirtle No.2: Charmander No.3: Bulbasaur |
Charmader FTW. It's technically the strongest. It's also the cutest =D
|
I tend to go with Bulbasaur, Venasaur is a great pokemon, but also there is a distressing lack of good grass pokemon in R/B/Y. As I said before, Charizard wasn't all that good in the first gen games, so Arcanine or Ninetails would both probably be better choices for your fire. With Squirtle, there are a ton of waters that could be just as good, if not better i.e. Gyrados, Starmie, Lapras, Omastar, Dewgong, Cloyster. If you don't take Venasaur, what are you going to replace it with? Victreebell? Exeggutor? or you could maybe go straight poison with Weezing or Muk. None of them can compete with Venasaur.
|
I pick all i put one in staduim box and then continue on doing the same thing but Charmander is the one who obeys me all the time
|
Charmander, beat the entire game with just him, train to charmeleon befor gym 1, and sweep the world, charmander is a beast >D
Charizard will own every thing in its path! >D |
I think Charizard represents 1st gen the best. :)
|
Quote:
and BTW, Venusaur is BL and so is Victreebel in the RBY competitive metagame according to smogon.com also Exeggutor is OU in the RBY Competitive metagame |
I seemed to be partial to the Fire type starters, because IMO they always have a much cooler design, even though I usually pick Totodile in Generation II, because...well...he's just awesome!
But seriously, it sometimes bothers me how much attention they put into the cool level of the Fire types final Evolution in the games, than any other starter type, even though...Cyndaquil's final form wasn't all too promising in my eyes. ~Drenz |
Charmander is by far my forvorite, it's just soo awesome, it's hard to handle man.
|
I have already been a fan of Fire Pokemons, so Charmander will be my pick.
