Chikorita gets petal dance which is just as strong as surf & Flamethrower

You have to breed it in and it is a continuous attack which really tends to annoy me. It also causes the user to become confused and after all of that, it is still not as powerful as surf or flamethrower.

You can always teach it Giga Drain but it has low PP and Razor Leaf still has a high critical hit ratio though.

When I play during the game, I do not usually have pokemon that are solely used for stalling, but rather pokemon that know attacking moves, therefore I would rarely use Synthesis or Light Screen. Also, I hate Giga Drain and you don't get it until you are pretty far in the game anyway.

i HATe all starters accept charmander and treeco

I like ll the grass starters. I hate Totodile but i like Cyndaquil. the only water starters i like are empoleon and swampert. Grass rulez!

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.

Totodile, I love reptiles, specifically Crocodilians.

Meganium June 29th, 2010 7:31 AM

I always start with Chikorita. It's my most favorite grass starter.

Trope June 29th, 2010 11:09 AM

Cyndaquil or Totodile, but that's mostly because I'm not that fond of Grass types to start with, Bulbasaur being the exception since it's dual Poison/Grass and Poison is yummy.

rafaeldias July 1st, 2010 4:46 AM

I like Totodile, but yeah i like Cyndaquil too. Chikorita would be my last choice, but i like it too :D

shamin32 July 1st, 2010 3:11 PM

I like totodile because he's just as good as cydiquil but he has way better and more move that he can learn. PLus he's stronger and capable of strong hits with his high Defence

BillySwane July 1st, 2010 3:26 PM

Cyndaquil without a doubt.

Jirachi² July 1st, 2010 10:22 PM

My Favorite Starter
 
My favorite starter would have be Totodile because it was the first Pokemon I ever chose and completed the game with in Pokemon Gold.

Charamander the best pokemon ever :D

Hibernator July 2nd, 2010 2:49 AM

i have a lot of favourites, Cyndaquil is my favourite for now

matthew.villa July 2nd, 2010 5:24 AM

i will 9 times out 10 pick cyndaquil but recently i have chosen chikorita, totodile doesnt appeal to me

myrrhman July 4th, 2010 9:51 AM

Like jujuju said, I don't really need moves like Light Screen when I'm playing. I'd pick Cyndaquil, because he can learn Fire moves and Thunderpunch for type coverage. Totodile would be my second pick, I mean, its nothing against Grass types, but I just don't like them that much. Except Torterra, he's good. I usually don't pick Totodile though, because my favorite Pokemon in that game was Octillery, and I didn't need two water types.

Droidz July 5th, 2010 7:35 PM

My favourite is Cyndaquil, Totodile then Chikorita.

CafekkoGira~ July 6th, 2010 3:59 AM

I adore Cyndaquil <3 Fire Fire FIRE!!

potatoman12 July 12th, 2010 5:56 AM

Although Fire types aren't my favorite, I do have to pick Cyndaquil. It's just so darn cute ^_____^

mikey July 13th, 2010 5:51 AM

It's hard for me to choose between Cyndaquil and Totodile, but I choose Cyndaquil because I love fire types.

Heather July 13th, 2010 8:27 AM

Cyndaquil has always been my starter Pokemon. I think the evolution of Cyndaquil is much cooler than the others.

Morgnarok August 5th, 2010 7:30 AM

I will have to go with Cyndaquil as my favorite starter.I don't always pick fire thou.

RaichuPwnsPikachu August 5th, 2010 7:38 AM

Electirizer August 11th, 2010 9:27 PM
