[Spoiler] Starters
 
Ok so i think we have all established who we will pick as our starters for the beginning of the game but this time around nintendo has surprised us and provided us with a choice of one of the 3 1st gen starters and one of the 3 3rd gen starters (both obtained later in the game) So my question is who will you choose out of bulbasaur, squirtle, and charmander and mudkip, torchic, and treecko? I personally will choose squirtle and torchic

Edit: Just so you guys know you get kanto starters after beating all sixteen gym leaders from oak and you get the hoenn starters after beating red (source serebii)

spike6958 September 9th, 2009 11:36 AM

My choices will be:
Heart Gold: Cyndaquil, Squirtle, Treecko
Soul Silver: (If Totodile is starter) Bulbasaur, Torchick
(If Chickorita is starter) Charmander, Mudkip

kieran14z September 9th, 2009 11:41 AM

For HG i'll have totodile, charmander and treecko, i like lizard pokemon. XD

For SS i'll have cyndaquil, bulbasaur and mudkip.

jakeandhissuperdogsam!! September 9th, 2009 11:46 AM

TOTODILE! CHARMANDER! MUDKIPZ!

Sister's HG: other two! other two! other two!

fireyboy345 September 9th, 2009 11:55 AM

Out of all of you i have not seen a single chikorita :.( Im going to pick chikorita.

BassFace September 9th, 2009 12:00 PM

I'll be picking:

HeartGold: Cyndaquil, Charmander, Mudkip
SoulSilver: Totodile, Squirtle, Torchic

(Yes, all the fire and water types. I'm not really a huge Bulbasaur and Treecko fan. I like Chikorita, so I may end up picking it if I don't decide to go with Totodile.)

Ellie September 9th, 2009 12:01 PM

I already have all of them so I'll probably just pick one randomly.

Charmageddon September 9th, 2009 12:03 PM

It depends who I pick at the start, I still haven't decided, and I want one of each type. I'm pretty certain on Treecko for the Hoenn starters, and probably Charmander, but I'm not sure.

Finnel September 9th, 2009 12:07 PM

Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Treecko.

I'm such a grassfag, but those are the starters I like the most.

Alxprit September 9th, 2009 12:09 PM

Probably Totodile and Torchic, but I'm at a loss for the Kanto choice. I'll just put it off until I decide.

venom12 September 9th, 2009 12:10 PM

Hmm Totodile Charmander and Treckoo. That i will choose.

06s23 September 9th, 2009 12:10 PM

DEFINITELY chikorita then charmander them mudkip :)

Zetlian2-kinra September 9th, 2009 12:12 PM

I'd choose treeko and SQUIRTLE!! And Cyndaquil

Get all 3 elements so you can easily own your rival.

ShinyMeganium September 9th, 2009 12:13 PM

WTF

I have no idea how it happened. I was about to comment Chikorita, Charmander, Mudkip, when I saw the comment below mine was exactly the same.
Well, first, i'm an UU lover in anything related to ingame, so Chiko and Charmander are obvious. Charizard and Meganium are my favorite Pokemons too. Then, my smartest choice on the 3rd one would be Swampert.

The guy that's actually above me - by the time you get the 16th badge and beat Red, I don't think you can fight the rival again too much. Then again, you'd pwn him even if you went with the weakest NU Pokemons the whole run cause they'd be 90+.

Akeraz September 9th, 2009 12:27 PM

Starter will be Cyndaquil.
I honestly couldn't care for the Kanto starters, though.
As for Hoenn, I will probably pick Mudkips, because I liek them.

Åzurε September 9th, 2009 12:32 PM

Cyndaquil is my standard on GSC, and so likely my choice for starters will be the same. Either Squirtle or Charmander for Kanto and Mudkip or Treecko for Hoenn, at least the first time around.

Star Girl September 9th, 2009 12:36 PM

HG: chikorita, charmander, mudkip just so I can have part of
my Mystery Dungeon team again.

SS: cyndaquil, squirtle, and treeko

Hamilton September 9th, 2009 12:39 PM

Chikorita Squirtle Torchic
Cyndaquil Bulbasaur Mudkip
Totodile Charmander Treeko

Dunsparce September 9th, 2009 12:43 PM

HG: Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Mudkip.
SS: Squirtle, Chikorita, Torchic.

I like Totodile and all, but I'm not a big fan of either Charmander or Treeko.

ShivaDF September 9th, 2009 12:45 PM

Chikorita, Squirtle, Torchic for me.

PsychoJigglypuff September 9th, 2009 12:47 PM

Hmm... I'll go with Cyndaquill, Charmander, and Torchic. Sure, they are all Fire-type, but it makes up for the fact that practically everytime I play a Pokemon game, I never choose the Fire starter. I have all of the starters in my Pearl, so I could just breed and trade the rest.

patch. September 9th, 2009 12:49 PM

I'll probably take Cyndaquil, then get a Squirtle and a Mudkip, just so I can get an epic-win Swampert and then breed it to get a Mudkip army, whom I will all nickname, "LIEKMEORDIE".

Shadow Umbreon Xd 002 September 9th, 2009 12:53 PM

Cyndaquil, Bulbasuar and Mudkip for Hg.

Chicorita, Squirtle and Treeko for SS.

Hassamu September 9th, 2009 12:57 PM

I'll be going for Cyndaquil, Squirtle (I've never picked Squirtle before..) and Treecko.

RockmanEXE September 9th, 2009 12:58 PM

When I saw the Hoenn starters I thought Hoenn was going to be in HG/SS.

Apparently you will receive them from an NPC in the Silph Co. building.

Lady Gaga September 9th, 2009 12:59 PM

Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, Mudkip

Alucus_Of_Borg September 9th, 2009 1:03 PM

its got to be the fire starters in HG and the waters in SS oww poor grass is being forgoten :(

blue September 9th, 2009 1:06 PM

Id Go
Heart Gold; Cyndaquil, Squirtle, Torchick.
Soul Silver; Totodile, Charmander, Treeko

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 9th, 2009 2:04 PM

hmmm wouldn't matter to me since I already got all 12 starters but it will be Totodile, Mudkip and Bulbasuar for me =)


:t354:TG

Haza September 9th, 2009 2:11 PM

Fire Starters all the way across. Wonder why they decided to include Hoenn starters?

Timbjerr September 9th, 2009 2:15 PM

probably: Cyndaquil, Squirtle, and Treecko...not that I'll use the latter two much due to how late in the game you get them, but meh...

zirico September 9th, 2009 2:35 PM

Cyndauil, Squirtle, Treeko.........COOL!

michele September 9th, 2009 2:42 PM

i'll be choosing chikorita, bulbasaur, and torchic. :)

Melaugh September 9th, 2009 2:43 PM

Heartgold: Chikorita, Squirtle, and Torchic.
Soulsilver:
Totodile and Treecko.

Squirtle is the last of the
Kanto starters I need. I will pick a random one for Soulsilver. I am really happy to play with some Hoenn Pokemon. :D

Ru-Kun September 9th, 2009 2:53 PM

I will pick Totodile, Bulbasaur, and Torchic in my Japanese SS!

CrashmanX September 9th, 2009 3:05 PM

Awesome, finally they made it so you can get the starters! Ahhh, feels good bro XD Anyways, I would choose Cyndaquil, Squirtle, Torchic.

Gulpin September 9th, 2009 3:15 PM

Depending on who I choose as my starter:

Chikorita
Mudkip
Charmander

Cyndaquil
Treeko
Squirtle

Totodile
Torchic
Bulbasaur

Kam the Narwhal September 9th, 2009 4:20 PM

Chikorita, Charmander, Mudkip. Charmander has been picked in tribute of my Blue file.

diamondpearl876 September 9th, 2009 4:23 PM

1st gen - squirtle
2nd gen - cyndaquil
3rd gen - treecko

Those would probably be my picks. :3 I love all of the starters, though, so it's hard to choose... :[

That sounds like a good pick i might do that one instead....:paranoid:

Quest September 9th, 2009 4:33 PM

I'll choose Cyndiquil, torchic, and Squirtle for HH, and totodile, treecko, and Charmander for ss

Guy September 9th, 2009 4:36 PM

I stated earlier that I would take Cyndaquil as my starter from the start of the game in SoulSilver. So, to level the types I'll be choosing Squirtle from Prof. Oak (my favorite Kanto starter) and Treecko (my favorite Hoenn Starter) after defeating Red.

Lana. September 9th, 2009 5:02 PM

Chikorita - my favorite Johto starter. ^^
Charmander - the only fire starter I genuinely like other than Cyndaquil.
Mudkip - because i liek them. 8DD

Sydian September 9th, 2009 5:05 PM

Jap SS; Cyndaquil, Squirtle, Treecko
Eng SS; Totodile, Bulbasaur, Torchic
Eng HG; Chikorita, Charmander, Mudkip

thegeneticway September 9th, 2009 5:08 PM

Modest Cyndaquil
Modest Bulbasaur
Adamant Mudkip B)

I'm going to SR for the natures

salmence33 September 9th, 2009 5:30 PM

I didn't know we would be able to get hoenn starters

totodile, charmander, treecko

Giratinarules September 9th, 2009 7:17 PM

i will get a squirtle kanto
and torchic hoenn

Late September 9th, 2009 8:19 PM

I think I'm going to get Cyndaquil, Squirtle and Treecko but I'm not sure yet, because Charmander is good too.

derozio September 9th, 2009 8:29 PM

I am glad that nintendo did such a good job at making us happy by implementing this new feature!

My choices will be (maybe): Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, Mudkip. (I noticed now that many others have taken the decision to take these pokemon too, but don't think that I am copying others! XD)
Not totally sure about my choices though.....

Lucario's Girl September 10th, 2009 3:39 AM

Cyndaquil, Charmander, and Torchic.

Since I am most-likely to be useing action replay on it, I don't really care about weaknesses and stuff x3 .Also, honestly, I think the fire pokemon are the only good looking pokemon out of the nine.As for Chimchar in sinnoh...it doesn't apply sooo...Yeah.

Soul Silver September 10th, 2009 8:40 AM

The only one I'm certain about is cyndaquil the others don't really matter as I can get them through pal park later but I'll probably go squirtle and I'm not a fan of the Hoenn starters so I'll pick one at random.

Yingxue September 10th, 2009 8:54 AM

I've always loved all three of the Gen II starters, so I'll have a hard time picking. I love Chikorita, but Cyndaquil is also awesome.

When I get both in English, I'll be sure to get all 12 onto both cartridges, since I have all 12 already on my Diamond version, hahahaha.

ShinyMeganium September 10th, 2009 9:01 AM

All I have to say is GGG.
Go Chikorita - Go Challenge - Go love.

~ The most nerdy post I wrote on this board ~

Tudj September 10th, 2009 11:45 AM

Well, I can get all 3 other gen starters from my Pt, except the hard choice is the Johto starters as of their rarity. But I think I will go with cyndaquil, mudkip (don't have it yet) and for fun Charmander

Serene Grace September 10th, 2009 11:47 AM

HG/SS is just awesome. All the starters included is just a +++++++. I've always wanted all gen starters to be available in the games. :3

ReyRey-Pyon September 10th, 2009 12:13 PM

I'll be choosing Cyndaquil, Charmander, Torchic
yupp

o3o

Demigod September 10th, 2009 2:00 PM

I already have all of them but ill get
Cyndaquil, Squirtle, Treecko

シルバー September 10th, 2009 2:09 PM

Cyndaquil, Charmander, and Mudkip.

I don't like any of the third generations, but I'll go with Mudkip, always wanted a Marshstomp. I took Torchic in my Sapphire and Emerald.
I might pick Bulbasaur over Charmander since I can breed Charmander and I have a japanese squirtle. I need a Bulbasaur xD

Underoos September 10th, 2009 4:22 PM

SS: Cyndaquil (<3), Charmander, and Treecko =3
(If I get it) HG: Idk, Bulbasaur, and Torchic =)

Michii September 10th, 2009 6:03 PM

I'm only getting HeartGold, and am spreading the three generations starters with the three main types. I'm starting out with my favorite gen two, Cyndaquil. For the generation one Pokemon, I'm going to get Bulbasaur (fav generation one), and I'm getting Mudkip (tied fav of that generation) for generation three.

pokeretard September 10th, 2009 6:20 PM

For HG I would get Cyndaquil, Squirtle, and Treecko.
For SS I would get Totodile, Charmander, and Mudkip.
Too bad they didn't put anything for any of the Sinnoh starters. They probably thought that everyone would have Platinum, Diamond, or Pearl.

*Charizard* September 10th, 2009 7:21 PM

Charmander, totodile, treeko is my choice...

☆DiaIsDia☆ September 10th, 2009 8:43 PM

SS: Chikorita, Squirtle, Torchic
HG: Totodile, Charmander, Mudkip

DonRoyale September 10th, 2009 9:23 PM

Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Treecko.

Grassfagging ftw.

hoone September 27th, 2009 7:18 AM

Hoenn/Kanto Starters
 
Beat red (yes the high leveled noob).
I finally got my charmander. =-=
I'm making a standard bellyzard.

Actually I can't decide what hoenn starter to get.

What starters are you picking?
What build are you guys going (competitive wise) with your hoenn/kanto starters?

XP yeah, I'm probably going to pick depending on your replies.

blue September 27th, 2009 7:29 AM

For my Johto starter i'll choose Totodile
For my Kanto starter i'll choose Bulbasaur
For my Hoenn starter i'll choose Torchic

Steelix8 September 27th, 2009 7:44 AM

Johto: Chikorita (Never tried the Johto Grass starter, and no Totodile is going to be taking my precious Feraligatr's place. She might eat the new guy :P).

Kanto: Charmander (Never had one since Red version; that's RED not FireRed)

Hoenn: Mudkip (Cuz I herd u liek mudkipz).

Eggie Poo Poo September 27th, 2009 7:55 AM

Johto: Totodile
Kanto: Charmander
Hoenn: I will pick Mudkip then release it, because I loathe Hoenn.

Alucus_Of_Borg September 27th, 2009 10:15 AM

I went for all fire cynda char and torch :D

~Kian~ September 27th, 2009 10:26 AM

Jhoto: cynadaquil

Kanto: squirtle

Hoenn: treeko

i just like those three :)

mikey September 27th, 2009 1:09 PM

Johto: Cyndaquil.
Kanto: Squrtile
Hoenn: Either Treecko or Mudkip.

ShinyMeganium September 27th, 2009 1:12 PM

Chikorita, Charmander, Mudkip. Then in SS Cyndaquil, Squirtle, Treecko, and when I replay something...Totodile, Bulbasaur, Torchic.

CrashmanX September 27th, 2009 1:35 PM

Cyndaquil, Squirtle, then Torchic.

Blaziquaza September 27th, 2009 2:38 PM

Tough.Well,I might go with all Fire starters in HG,and in SS I'll choose:Totodile,Squirtle and Treecko,and get somebody to give me the last starter of each region.

Rapide September 27th, 2009 2:46 PM

I would pick:

Kanto- Bulbasaur
Johto- Cyndaquil
Hoenn- Treecko

Treecko is awesome!

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ September 27th, 2009 3:03 PM

Johto: Totodile
Kanto: Bulbasuar
Hoenn: Mudkip


:t354:TG

Logiedan September 27th, 2009 3:09 PM

Kanto: Charmander or Bulbusaur,difficult to choose.
Johto: Cyndaquil.
Hoenn: Mudkipz.

Dr Gregory House September 27th, 2009 5:18 PM

Fire Trio FTW.
Cyndaquil+Charmander+Torchic=Win

Haza September 27th, 2009 9:58 PM

Charmander or Bulbasaur. I usually pick Fire Starters but I like the Grass/Poison type combination.
Torchic for Hoenn though. I hate the other two.

Klofkac September 27th, 2009 10:38 PM

Jotho: totodile
Kanto: bulbasaur
Hoenn: torchic

These pokémon i used in FireRed, Emerald, ShinyGold.

DestinyBender September 28th, 2009 12:02 AM

Here are mine.

Johto: Totodile~ I lu-u-uve it's evolutions.
Kanto: Squirtle~ I like Blastoise :D
Hoenn: Mudkipz~ I liek Mudkipz.

All Water team FTW!

Satoshi Ookami September 28th, 2009 12:05 AM

No deciding... everything in fire xD
(What I happen to already accomplished xD But I didn't train Charmander or Torchic yet :D)

Rainflower September 28th, 2009 12:20 AM

johto: totodile for SS, cyndaquil for HG
kanto: charmander for SS, bulbasaur for HG
hoenn: treecko for SS, mudkip for HG

Eliminator Jr. September 28th, 2009 12:51 AM

I'll start with Cyndaquil, because Quilava and Typhlosion are pretty sweet. Also because there's not enough good fire Pokémon early on in the game whereas you can catch a Poliwag or a Bellsprout by the time you reach Violet City. Later on when offered the Kanto starters I'll probably go with Charmander because I really like Charizard. That or maybe Squirtle because Blastoise is pretty sweet. As for the Hoenn starters I'll probably go with Mudkip as Swampert is the only final evolution Pokémon from those three evolution chains that I like.

Moltres111 September 28th, 2009 12:54 AM

For Kanto, Squirtle even though I don't like Blastoise.
For Johto, Cyndaquil because it's awesome.
For Hoenn, Treecko because I <3 Sceptile.

bobandbill September 28th, 2009 4:08 AM

Already had a thread for this - hence, merging the two.

minchan September 28th, 2009 8:52 AM

My top 3 favorite pokemon are MUDKIP, Quilava, and the bulbasaur line... so naturally I chose Cyndaquil and evolved it and gave it the everstone... but i wanna get another for MUDKIP when i get it!! LOL So basically I want Mudkip and Bulbasaur. ^^

560cool. September 28th, 2009 8:53 AM

Okey :

STARTER : Cyndaquil

KANTO Starter : Squirtle (only one missing )

HOENN Starter : Mudkip (Only one missing too )

Put up othres from my Platinum : have Treecko early in game !

Crystal-Heart September 28th, 2009 2:37 PM

When I get SoulSilver, I'll get these starters. Cyndaquil, one of my two favorite starters, Charmander, my other favorite starter, and Treeko. I will play SoulSilver as the female character, who I will name Heart, which I always thought was a better official name than Soul and I also consider it her official name since Gold was always named Soul in previews, as opposed to Gold or Hibiki, which are his Official & In-Game Pseudo-Rival names.

Then if I manage to have a job, and therefore can buy HeartGold, I will get these starters. Totodile, Squirtle, and Torchic or Mudkip, I don't know yet. I will play HeartGold using the male character, who I will name Gold, after his Official & PokeSpe names.

Of course, the rival in both games will be named Silver, as is his official and PokeSpe name.

WaterGun! September 28th, 2009 2:39 PM

I love the water starters so it will probably be all three of them.
I might skip out on Mudkip and get the Treecko.

PokemonMasterX September 30th, 2009 10:53 AM

Apparently you will receive them from an NPC in the Silph Co. building.

Spoiler:
To be exact you get them from Steven (yes, the Steven from hoenn) after beating Red.


Didn't feel like giving away who it was to those people who don't want to know. My choices would be...

Soul Silver: If I feel like a pyro, Then Cyndaquil, Charmander, and Torchic. If not, then Cyndaquil, Treecko, Squirtle.

Heart Gold:
If Totodile: Bulbasaur, Torchic
If Chikorita: Mudkip, Charmander
I may also go with completely water or grass, too.

ソラ September 30th, 2009 11:31 AM

I already got Cyndaquil, so yeah

But Imma choose Bulbasuar, and Mudkip.

But when i get SS, its gonna be Cyndaquil again, Squirtle, and Torchic

HeidiMoose September 30th, 2009 11:57 AM

SS: Chikorita, Charmander, Treecko
HG: Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, Mudkip.

Oh, The Places You'll Go. September 30th, 2009 1:31 PM

It's taken me 21 days to come to a solution.
I had trouble, because I love them all.
But, finally,
HeartGold; Chikorita, Charmander, and Mudkip
SoulSilver; Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, and Treecko
It took me so long, because I may or may not get SoulSilver. I'll have to wait and see. :)

Bigdog September 30th, 2009 1:58 PM

Heart Gold: Totodile, Charmander, Treecko
Soul Silver: Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, Mudkip
Soul Silver "2nd Time" : Chikorita, Squirtle, Torchic

I would trade all of my captured Pokemon to HG from Soul Silver/Platinum so when Gen V hits, i'll just transfer from HG.

MizuJosh September 30th, 2009 2:11 PM

Totodile, Squirtle, and Mudkip. Yus. Definitely. I LIEK MUDKIPZ! :O

yvette September 30th, 2009 2:35 PM

Since I already have Totodile, Charmander and Mudkip. I love Swampert and Charizard. :3

Lycaeus September 30th, 2009 3:28 PM

Soul Silver: Totodile, Charmander, Mudkip (:
Heart Gold: Won't matter because it's gunna be my runthrough version haha.

Yessir(:

Fenrir Reki September 30th, 2009 4:00 PM

I would probably pick Cyndaquil, Squirtle and Trecco. I probably wouldve chosen charmander instead of cyndaquil but I have never had cyndaquil as a starter before so yeah.

Lucar10 September 30th, 2009 7:19 PM

I heard u can get all 493 pkmn in HG/SS which is quite cool to get all the pokemon like Arceus
