What's your favorite starter?
 
What's your favorite starter? My favorite starter is Totodile.

Denali January 18th, 2010 3:09 PM

I would have to go with Cyndaquil. I seem to always choose the fire types for some reason, like Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic and Chimchar.

GlitchCity January 18th, 2010 5:48 PM

chikorita, I just love overleveling it to the 30s before I even hit the 1st gym xDD

Spikey-Eared Pichu January 18th, 2010 5:54 PM

Cydnaquil. Raised it to Lv.100 as a Typhlosion in my first playthrough of Silver.

Caelus January 18th, 2010 8:22 PM

Definitely Cyndaquil. What I love about it is Typhlosion, who has been a valuable asset to me since I first used it.

Totodile is also pretty cool, but I get bored of using Feraligatr before the E4 for some reason. :/

BHwolfgang January 18th, 2010 8:49 PM

Cyndaquil. Not only is it a mono Fire-type Pokemon, it's final evolutino is Typhlosion; my right-hand Pokemon during Jhoto. :D

LuverofPokemon January 18th, 2010 9:24 PM

Chikorita for some reason I always pick the grass starters...:)

Jayster23 January 19th, 2010 12:47 AM

My Favorite is Cyndaquil. Typhlosion is just an awesome pokemon.

I always pick the fire type because i love watching things burn. (Pyromaniac :badsmile:)

Chikorita is a pretty good Pokemon to, Totodile just didn't appeal to me

CYNDAQUIL FTW

DGexe January 19th, 2010 12:56 AM

Cyndaquill ftw (fire-types, heck yeah)... although I've sort of taken a liking to Chikorita.

Lord Varion January 19th, 2010 12:49 PM

dunno why but totodile .... the third gym seems easier with him os i pick him ... and he can be used for lances CHARIZARD

Skweetis January 19th, 2010 12:52 PM

Cyndaquil is my favorite, then Totodile. I never liked Chikorita or it's evolutions.

Darkness Assassin January 19th, 2010 1:55 PM

I like all three starters, but Totodile is my favorite cause of it's second (2nd) evolution Feraligatr cause it's awesome. It can learn awesome moves and it's design is like a ****in awesome design (lol... :D XD)

Spencer January 19th, 2010 2:30 PM

Ive always liked Totodile. I just wish he had a little more special attack.

Rai-chan January 19th, 2010 3:11 PM

Cyndaquil FTW!! Typhlosion is beastly!!! I like Feraliigatr second, then Meganium.

Medli January 19th, 2010 6:22 PM

My favorite is Cyndaquil. I've always been attached to the Fire types. Cyndaquil was also my very first starter ever because Silver was my first Pokemon game. Good times!

I'm also fond of Chikorita and Bayleef, but I don't like Meganium's design, which is why I don't pick Chikorita that often. And I'm not fond of Totodile or its evolutions.

i agree his my favourite starter two he was and always will be mine favourite starter

Game Over January 20th, 2010 2:19 AM

Always loved my water types. So yeah, Totodile! And my Feraligatr could always kick my brothers Typhlosion but! Even though it was only 83 while his was 100!

Mewtwolover January 20th, 2010 4:12 AM

I always pick Chikorita because Meganium is cute.

barnsleynut January 20th, 2010 3:26 PM

I want to choose squirtle! :( because i love blastoise! :)

:)but as this is the 2nd gen id choose Cyndaquil :) just because its the cutest :)

Ayselipera January 20th, 2010 3:31 PM

Out of those three my choice is Chikorita. I used to love Cyndaquil, but it lost its luster after a while and Totodile never appealed to me much.

Darkness Assassin January 20th, 2010 3:38 PM

Ok guys. Totdile will always be my favorite. Water pokemon rule!!!! **** OTHER TYPE POKEMON!!!!!!!

The Cynic January 20th, 2010 3:51 PM

Cyndaquil definately! Tis my favourite. Chikorita is quite bland and totodile just isn't my style.

For Gen I & II i picked the fire type as these are harder to find in the wild. By gen III I decided I would just pick the ones I liked rather that going for a set of pokemon that would have no type disadvantages overall.

Gen I & FR/LG : Charmander
Gen II & HG/SS: Cyndiquill
Gen III: Treecko
Gen IV: Turtwig

white lancer January 20th, 2010 4:37 PM

When I was younger I would have picked Chikorita, but now it's Totodile without a doubt, although I'm not really a fan of its evolutions. My favorite one of them fully-evolved is Meganium.

Tommmy January 23rd, 2010 3:50 AM

I would always have chosen the fire one for some reason...

Imperator161 January 29th, 2010 4:06 PM

Totodile, as it's the starter I used in Gold (and Crystal). Cyndaquil is a close second, though. Chikorita's okay, but I don't like it as much as i like the other two.

curiousnathan January 29th, 2010 4:09 PM

Well like majority, Cyndaquil.
I'm not sure why but I just think it looks cool and cute and when it evolves Typhlosion is really strong!

Pokestick, good times. February 1st, 2010 4:52 AM

Most say Cyndaquil's the best choice, and I like it alot.

If it matters, I guess I could just point out my four starter favs:
(the number means the generation)
  1. Charmander
  2. Cyndaquil
  3. Mudkip
  4. Turtwig
Wow, that was easier than I thought. I have no idea why I wrote all of them though.

mondays suck February 1st, 2010 5:22 AM

Chikorita, Grass is one of the most fun types to play with, even though Chikorita doesn't get Leech Seed, at least not by level...

SkyStar February 1st, 2010 5:23 AM

Chikorita Grass types are awesome

Dhjona February 1st, 2010 6:20 AM

Cyndaquil, Fire types are awesome. ^^

fsebastiao February 4th, 2010 11:10 AM

Cyndaquill , well, but thats because in every pokemon game i start with the fire starter, offtopic- started fire in D/P/P too and that was my biggest pokemon disappointment ever :(

Reira February 5th, 2010 3:14 PM

I always choose Cyndaquil.

SunStorm55 February 7th, 2010 12:40 PM

Ah....
 
Come on! When I saw this forum I hoped you would include color games, because squirtle is my all time favorite starter! (Blastoise actually) Although if you are only doing II Generation, then it would be Cyndaquill.

k.ks81 February 7th, 2010 1:58 PM

my Favourite starter is cyndaquil

RHCP February 7th, 2010 2:15 PM

To tell the truth, the earliest PKMN Game I've ever played is Ruby...
So I've never had to choose from the 2nd Gen starters! (Shocking, 'eh?)
But I will be choosing soon... (HG/SS)

Demigod February 7th, 2010 3:36 PM

Totodile is win and funny

branchi February 9th, 2010 4:49 PM

cyndaquil!!!!the awesome fire type!

Maco February 10th, 2010 1:33 AM

Totodile. I've always chosen the water pokemon over every other, except in RBY (Charmander was too awesome)

003 February 10th, 2010 1:36 AM

I'd have to say Meganium. That thing DESTROYED in pkmn Silver for me. Can't wait to choose it again when the remakes come out.

xJordan360 February 10th, 2010 1:38 AM

Being a loyal fire fan, I'd have to go with Cyndaquil. I've never gone wrong with fire, and I always mono with it. :D Not to mention Typhlosion is complete and utter decimation contained in a red and white ball.

003 February 10th, 2010 1:40 AM

I only regretted choosing Meganium once.

After I saw Gold with Typhlosion in that PKMN anime special. FIREBLAST!

xJordan360 February 10th, 2010 1:40 AM

I only regretted choosing Cyndaquil once, when I- oh no wait, I didn't. ;p

003 February 10th, 2010 1:45 AM

Meh I started out like you. A pyro... FIRE all the time. Charmander this, Cyndaquil that.

Then I found Meganium and its awe inspiring pretty flowers. The hippie in me called out. It said: "Be really effeminate in your starter choice."

xJordan360 February 10th, 2010 1:49 AM

I actually try to get all three to start, when I can, to be honest.
But if not I start with Cyndaquil and raise myself a Bellossom or a Sunflora to appease my effeminate side.

blueblur155 February 15th, 2010 7:51 AM

cyndaquil by far. its still one of my top 5 favorite pokemon

PokemonLeagueChamp February 15th, 2010 11:07 AM

Cyndaquil, he's awesome!

*Whitney sent out Miltank!*
*Miltank used Rollout!*

Daeva Okami-Luca February 15th, 2010 11:16 AM

Cyndaquil on pokemon XD Gale of Darkness: Blast Burn equipped. Boosh.

Houndoom19 February 15th, 2010 11:40 AM

Of these options: Cyndaquil.

But all the generation two starters are 'meh' at best. That's the one thing I know I won't like about HG/SS.

Yukima February 16th, 2010 3:59 PM

Cyndaquil!

I started out with Chikorita on my first Crystal playthrough, but then I soon discovered how awesome Cyndaquil could be. Its moveset, for one thing - with the ability to learn Thunderpunch and Earthquake once it evolves into Typhlosion, it's a Pokemon that could knock out a LOT of other types, including some of its weaknesses!

And yeah, I usually go with the fire types as my starters (Charizard, Typhlosion, Blaziken) at least until DPPt, when NONE of the starters appealed to me - I started with a Chimchar, but didn't like how it looked.

Dirtyjerry February 17th, 2010 6:58 AM

Cyndaquil. I love him and his evolutions. Especially Quilava <3

PokemonTrainer` February 17th, 2010 7:05 AM

Yeah definetly totodile hes awesome i always pick if i can!

DarkDoom3000 February 17th, 2010 7:51 PM

totodile, cyndaquil comes a second.

alisaie February 17th, 2010 8:30 PM

Totodile~ <3 My awesome little Toto who eventually then became a Feraligatr so it was nickname'd Cooly (I was six. hush. >: Though now I name it that for nostalgia.)

Cyndaquil and Chikorita then both come second. c: Can't really choose one over the other.

Lazenca February 17th, 2010 8:46 PM

Cyndaquil, because my favorite Pokemon is Typhlosion and Cynda evolves into that bad boy.

Mistress Rose February 18th, 2010 4:43 AM

Chikorita has best evolutions, is cute and has great moves!!

Nikorasu February 18th, 2010 4:53 AM

Totadile, it was my first starter pokemon that won me through pokemon soulsilver

ριє™ February 18th, 2010 6:21 AM

Totodile is so awesome and cute ^-^
So he's my favourite starter! for sure!
<3


~Gary~ February 18th, 2010 6:48 AM

cyndaquil is so awesome and cute ^-^

but when it evolves it becomes an invincible beast-yeah! yeah! that's the one almost there yes it is typhlosion

DUH CYNDAQUIL WILL BE MY STARTER OF COURSE!

psycho86wardbg February 18th, 2010 11:03 AM

cyndaquil. always go with fire type.

Hallylicious February 27th, 2010 6:53 PM

Cyndaquil is my favourtie because he was the first pokemon i leveled to 100 in 2nd gen. But Totodile makes the game so much easier if you pick the right moveset. I recently retated ad decided to start with chikorita and i just beat the ice gym and i got bored of her :/

~Hot n' Cold~ March 3rd, 2010 2:53 PM

I never like water types.
I loved and love Cyndaquil and Chikorita.
I always have loved the grass- and fire- starters.

Mostly Chikorita, though.

Pidgeot is Life March 5th, 2010 10:21 PM

Chikorita!
theres no denying it.
you know you love it.

AGMB March 6th, 2010 1:58 PM

totodile, because gold was my first game!!

JuiceBaux March 6th, 2010 3:24 PM

Totodile defiantly :D
then again never once used the others...
i probably will in HG/SS

TripleD March 7th, 2010 3:14 AM

I'd have to go with Totodile, although it's purely an aesthetic choice.

Cyndaquil has always struck me as having the blandest design of any starter. He's okay as far as stats go, but nothing's ever really endeared him to me. I like Chikorita, but I always end up comparing it in my mind to Bulbasaur. And that is a fight it is destined to lose.

RoxasauceKOD March 11th, 2010 3:01 AM

~Toto-Toto-Dile~
Most win starter ever.

Shiny Shaymin March 11th, 2010 6:48 AM

Cyndaquil is my favorite, it was the starter I chose in Silver Version. I also like Totodile, because I chose it in Crystal. Chikorita is certainly my least favorite; its ugly, weak, and annoying.

assasinn March 11th, 2010 9:24 PM

My favorite in these generation games is probably... squirtle

aquatorrent March 11th, 2010 9:35 PM

Totodile. I always pick water-starter.

jolteon. March 11th, 2010 9:40 PM

I can't pick. >A<
mudkip, squirtle, charmander, totodile, cyndaquil, chimchar, turtwig, and piplup are all cute.
The ones I use the most though, are Charizard, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr.

Klofkac March 12th, 2010 12:10 AM

I like all of them. Same with Kanto and Hoenn starters.

asterisk March 12th, 2010 8:54 AM

Cyndaquil. ;v; I adore Typhlosion and Cyndaquil itself is just adorable.

Saud-Blaziken March 12th, 2010 1:14 PM

Cyndaquil
I loved Typlosion soo much when I was small
I collected all Typhlosion cards and pictures
and all that stuff
but now I don't like Typhlosion that much
I don't know why :(

enzo51 March 12th, 2010 5:03 PM

Totodile, for some reason I've always chosen it. I rarely chose Chikorita or Cyndaquil.

xPsychosocial March 14th, 2010 2:26 PM

Cyndaquil, it's soooo cute. :D

Hantsuki March 14th, 2010 2:37 PM

When I played Silver/Gold/Crystal as a kid, I've always started with Cyndaquil (unless I was trying to complete my Pokedex). But now, I've taken a liking to Totodile, so he's really my favorite starter from the Johto region. I just wish the game would still be easy if I didn't evolve him.

Nightrider434343 March 15th, 2010 7:17 PM

I beat gold with ONLY a cyndaquil, it's always been my favorite pokemon.

MegaSlowBro. March 15th, 2010 7:22 PM

Cyndaquil. I really like it's evolution and moves. Totodile would be second, then Chikorita

batmon March 16th, 2010 3:34 PM

It's a toss up between Cyndaquil or Totodile, I love Typhlosion and Feraligatr both because they look so sweet.

batmon March 17th, 2010 6:24 PM

All except Chikorita, but I never really liked any of the grass starters ever.

Hooooo March 19th, 2010 6:16 PM

definitely Totodile. but i quite like Cyndaquil. but totodile just because of ice punch. (take that lance)

Luck March 19th, 2010 11:26 PM

Where is the option for the candy wrapper?
Cyndaquil because he sucked the least ass out of the Johto starters.
Seriously, every other region gives you at least one good choice :/

Astro*Zombies March 20th, 2010 7:22 AM

i usally go with a fire type since it seems to make the game a bit harder.

Alannya March 21st, 2010 4:43 PM

From the TV show I loved Chikorita!

But for the game I usually pick Cindaquil

But for HeartGold, I chose Totodile so I can make Ho-oh or Entei my fire pokemon :)

Zirkle38 March 22nd, 2010 12:03 PM

Cyndaquil because it's obviously the cutest, and he's a fire type, so you get cuteness and beasty-ness. Then Chikorita because it's the second cutest, but my little Cyndaquil could kill it in less then a minute. And I wouldn't even put Tododile up here, because he's... annoying, and he seems like he's always crakin' wise or just being immature, imo

Jellly March 30th, 2010 2:37 AM

Haha knew that fire would be the most popular, always seems to be.

I used to like Cyndaquil the most, but recently Chikorita has stolen this position.

ILoveDragonite March 30th, 2010 2:52 AM

Dratini is totally the best starter.

Cloud197 March 30th, 2010 9:33 PM

I've gotta go with Totodile, with Chikorita in second. :D

Xtazyz April 4th, 2010 9:30 AM

for some reason chikorita is so lame till it learns earthquake and solarbeem

Decodedd April 4th, 2010 12:46 PM

Cyndaquil would most definitely be my favorite starter for 2 reasons .

1 . SOOO CUTEEE !!!!

&

2 . That little guy evolves into a freaking tank, man !

El Héroe Oscuro April 5th, 2010 11:51 AM

Cyndquil all the way! I don't really like Typhlosion that much, just Quilava :P

But out of all of them, definetly Squirtle. Why you may ask? BECAUSE ITS GOT FRIGGIN TURRETS ON ITS EVOLVED FORM!!! xD

WKnite April 5th, 2010 12:28 PM

Of the G/S/C probbably Cyndaquil
The anime ruined Totodile from me I hated the voice
And I hate Chikoritas look

LilacArcanine April 5th, 2010 1:10 PM

Cyndaquil :D Started with him ever since I first got Gold in aught one ;)

chillxd April 5th, 2010 1:13 PM

Totodile is number 1 !! :D

CakeForTheSoul April 5th, 2010 1:21 PM

Totodile hands downs!With out a doubt

kevcrash April 5th, 2010 2:56 PM

I like em all but Totodile is awesome and feraligatr ftw i love them. Second fav is Chikorita I think theyre pretty awesomesauce. Never really liked cyndaquil that much. I don't know why but I usually never choose fire starters. Except Charmander

Sweet Candace April 5th, 2010 3:30 PM

Cyndaquil, hands down. Chikorita stinks battling pretty much every Gym, and I never liked Totodile, even though I like using the Water-type as my starter.

Not to mention, Typhlosion is my favorite Pokemon from Johto.

Agent Clank April 5th, 2010 3:52 PM

Totodile All The Way !

loliwin April 5th, 2010 4:23 PM

Chikorita FTW. He just makes the game hard.

Aero Blitz April 5th, 2010 6:23 PM

Totodile is my favorite of the three, Cyndaquil is a very close second.
