Who Did you Choose
 
Who did you choose for your starter In R/S/E and why and, who did you choose for your starter In FR/LG and why.

SCV058 December 16th, 2009 6:44 AM

I've done a gameplay runthrough with every single starter in the 3rd Generation. Though first I chose Charmander in LG, then Torchic in Emerald.

stavross December 16th, 2009 7:01 AM

torchic and charmander because they are FIRE pokemon=]

Emotion. December 16th, 2009 7:20 AM

Mudkip for Ruby, and Bulbasaur in LG. I chose Mudkip because it looked coolest out of the 3 first stage evos. Can't remember why I chose bulbasaur, I know it was between Charmander and Bulbasaur.

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty December 16th, 2009 7:47 AM

Treecko for Emerald because he was a grass starter (but I ditched him soon after because he was useless -.-) and I always choose Bulbasaur whenever I play LeafGreen. He's my favourite starter overall. :3

Converge December 16th, 2009 2:10 PM

The water types because they use to be my favorite, when the games first came out

luf100 December 16th, 2009 4:31 PM

I chose Torchic for Ruby just because I really like fire types (although I didn't get very far in training it, I consider Wingull my 'starter' xD). And I chose Bulbasaur when I first started FireRed, I have no idea why. I ended up regretting my decision and since I hadn't gotten very far I restarted and got Charmander. I love Charizard, so that's why.

Pokeyomom December 16th, 2009 4:50 PM

Torchic for Sapphire, and Squirtle for FR.


I picked Torchic, because I wanted to have Colonel Sanders worst nightmare, and Squrtile because Blastoise is just awesome=)

GreenStorm December 16th, 2009 5:16 PM

I chose Treeko (I think) just because. I always had trouble picking a starter, and usually take around ten minutes to decide.

Kirbychu December 16th, 2009 6:00 PM

Treecko because he is a part of one of the coolest evolution lines ever to grace the franchise. As for Kanto I chose Bulbasaur, but caught a Pikachu in Viridian Forest as soon as I could. I consider that Pikachu my starter, and of course I didn't evolve it! =P

Ayselipera December 16th, 2009 6:17 PM

Well for the first time I played each I chose Torchic For R/S/E because I liked the design better than the other two. For FR/LG I chose Charmander because at the time it was my favorite of the Kanto starters.

Eeveemaster0626 December 16th, 2009 6:18 PM

I chose Mudkip. Mudkip was also the first pokemon I ever had. Ever since, I have been choosing water starters

Lord Varion December 17th, 2009 2:45 AM

I chose a Charmader so i could get a suicine ... and a mudkip coz he can do lots of the gyms in hoenn

Heather December 17th, 2009 3:48 AM

I choosed Mudkip in R/S/E because Swampert is one of my favorite pokemon and Charmander in FR/LG because Charizard is another one of my favorites and i like its shiny form.

lavenderbolt December 17th, 2009 4:11 AM

squirtle and mudkip, they are worth raising to me

Pyrax December 17th, 2009 7:57 AM

Mudkip and Squirtle.
Both of them appealed to me the most.

Dawn December 17th, 2009 9:16 AM

Treeko~ My favorite water starter, though I wound up loving all three.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 18th, 2009 9:57 AM

Torchic, because I typically don't deal with Grass-types, nor Pokemon that become the dreaded Water/Ground type combo.

batmon December 18th, 2009 12:13 PM

For Ruby I picked Torchic because I was eating chicken that night, and Charmander the first time around in Fire Red to avenge my fallen Charizard from Red.

He died because of the dreaded .4 with his Super Glitch move :(

Ninetales433 December 18th, 2009 12:20 PM

For Emerald,Torchic.I just picked it because its cute.
For Leaf Green,Bulbasaur.

The Red Chain December 19th, 2009 2:45 PM

Well I tried out all three starters in Sapphire because I couldn't decide which one I liked more.
But when I bought Emerald I went with Treecko. and named him Geico
I like Treecko the most out of those three because I've always loved geckos.
I'm not usually a fan of grass type starters, but Treecko is just too awesome to ignore. ;3

For Leaf Green I chose Charmander just as I did in the old days with the first generation.
Charmander is just really cute and the only one of the three Kanto starters that I like, even when it evolves.
When Bulbasaur becomes Venusaur I don't like it much anymore, and same for Squirtle to Blastoise.
But with Charmander I like both of it's evolutionary stages. 83


Skaterzpenguin December 19th, 2009 8:20 PM

my ruby: torchic = I like starting out fire first
my sapphire: treecko = I pick him/her to beat kyogre. xD
my emerald: did not use a starter. (do not care for mudkip that much... idk why.

firered: Squirtle = opposite type of the game same for leafgreen...
leafgreen: charmander^^

~~sorry for not having any good reasons, but its pretty obvious. xD

AsaQuilava December 19th, 2009 10:39 PM

For my Sapphire game (that mysteriously vanished) I chose Mudkip first, but restarted when my Swampert was in the 60's because I was bored of it. Then I chose Torchic, because I HATE HATE HATE Sceptile.

On Emerald I started with Treecko, played through 'til he was in the high forties and restarted for Mudkip. I'm about to re-re-restart my game, though, and I'm going to pick Treecko and keep him a Grovyle.

On Leaf Green I picked Squirtle first because Blastoise is a beast (and this particular one was my first lv.100 :D). Then I went through with Bulbasaur, because I really strongly dislike Charizard. But my Venusaur disappoints me, so she's sitting pretty at lv.68 in a box. Then I went to Charmander reluctantly, and now have a very hated level 95 female Charizard. >.<
