Types.... Ice, Steel, Dragon

Spheal, Aron, Dratini (without dragon rage)

Vernikova November 22nd, 2008 6:11 PM

Well, I would choose:

Totodile
Treeko
Chimchar or Cyndaquil

I tried to keep them with as little weaknesses as possible.

DarkPrince_ November 22nd, 2008 6:33 PM

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.

Black Dunsparce November 23rd, 2008 6:00 AM

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.

Kurai Terios November 23rd, 2008 7:23 AM

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

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

sasquatchd00d November 23rd, 2008 8:04 AM

Bulbasaur
Cyndaquil
Mudkip

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.)

pidgey
machop
geodude

Wooper Kazama November 23rd, 2008 10:51 AM

Turtwig, Mudkip and Torchic!

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.

Banjora Marxvile November 23rd, 2008 11:05 AM

How about Chinchou, Taillow, and Exeggcute? Thats a triangle that works! Its possible. Might need a different Flying... If there was a Skarmory Pre-Evo...

Rock types do normal damage against fighting types, I believe.

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.

Ashen November 23rd, 2008 5:39 PM

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.

BassFace November 24th, 2008 5:53 PM

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)

i was going to say that.
when you start a new game it will ask you where you live(Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh) then ask if you are a boy or girl and all that stuff.

Caelus November 25th, 2008 9:09 PM

My choices would have to be the following (With reasons, of course!):

Piplup: I'm a small fan of Piplup, mostly because of its final evolution, Empoleon, which is, and has been, my favorite pokemon since I first laid eyes on it.
Treecko: Treecko's evolution focuses on speed, which the other grass-types seem to lack, so I fought the grass-type would take a different role.
Cyndaquil: Cyndaquil has a good move pool followed by a good evolution family and I already picked a Hoenn and Sinnoh starter (I wanted to include one per region, so I had to omit Torchic and Chimchar).

All of them are also based off of favoritism.

Weavile1110101 November 25th, 2008 9:19 PM

Go with:
Chikorita
Charmander
Mudkip


I don't like fire/fighting types, but that's just me. These three would be my choices. (I also don't like any 4th gen starters. Cue flaming!)

Same here.

EDIT: Sorry BassFace, didn't see you there. Ah well...

FairyGarland November 25th, 2008 10:48 PM

My picks are:
*Squirtle
*Chikorita
*Torchic

calmal November 27th, 2008 5:47 PM

well if you could manage it put all starters from the other games so that way you have a wider selection though i know that would be difficult to do

austin_pika November 27th, 2008 7:05 PM

My choice would be:

Piplup, Torchic, and Chikorita

Giratina ♀ November 29th, 2008 8:15 AM

  1. Chimchar (Fire)
  2. Totodile (Water)
  3. Bulbasaur (Grass)
Yeahmhm.

Bulletproof November 29th, 2008 8:25 AM

I'd go with:

Grass - Treecko.
Fire - Cyndaquil.
Water - Squirtle.

I know, all regions except Sinnoh, the latest. Oh well.

True Reign November 29th, 2008 3:03 PM

For the normal cycle of water/grass/fire, I would go with:
- Charmander
- Totodile
- Mudkip

For a new cycle it would be:
- (Dragon) Dratini
- (Rock) Geodude
- (Ghost) Gastly

I would go with Geodude on mine. :)

ranger of almia November 29th, 2008 3:07 PM

I would have to say.
Totodile
Chikorita
Torchic This would be the all star line up.
