unhappy starters
 
was anyone unhappy with their first starter. I did. I choose totodile and he didn't have any good moves. I was mad. So I start over and choose chickorita this time.

totodile=awesome................................

i first chose cyndyquil and played through with him, then restarted and chose totodile and i was more then pleased.

Agent Clank July 18th, 2010 3:48 PM

I chose Totodile and I've been happy eversince.
I never had to restart..I picked wisely.

Charizard★ July 18th, 2010 3:50 PM

I was never unhappy with the starter i chose. I trained it and it became very useful :3

Oblivion Wing July 18th, 2010 4:07 PM

Totodile all the way, fave starter of all times. And then i got Charmander (ties with Totodile imo) and then i got Torchic :) goood choices. I never had any complains with the new game SS/HG, beat it, got all the pokes, and now im happier than ever, playing it everyday with my gf at her house, trading, battling, and playing online. And I'm 18 :)

I found that totodile doesn't have any good water moves. My next water pokemon is going to be krabby.

i always pick fire starters, and i'm always happy with them.

Oathkeeper(: July 18th, 2010 10:54 PM

Water starters all the wayyy! And I'm never displeased with them.
Then again...I never really think about it xD

pokemonloverXD July 18th, 2010 11:13 PM

I've never unhappy with my starters b4, they're always the most useful Pokemon in my team

Totodile is my favorite starter.
Now my shiny EVd Croconaw which I won't evolve is my trustworthy partner, not to mention how powerful it is. Maybe I'll let it evolve when it reaches Lv100.. I just like it the way it is now.

Totodile can learn Waterfall which is pretty powerful and useful. And Ice fang, Crunch, Superpower.. No way I can be unhappy with it's moveset.

I'm never unhappy with my starter. When I first get the game, I try out all three to see what they're like and how they do. Finally, I settle on my favorite.

But I always pick my starter based on whatever idea I have for my team. Sometimes, my starter is the main Pokemon, sometimes I box it, and sometimes I have two or three of the region's starters. It all really depends on what I'm going to do. But I'm never dissatisfied.

I don't see how you think Totodile learns crappy water moves he has alot of good ones. Surf, Waterfall, Aqua Tail, Water gun is okay until you get surf. Totodile learns more moves of different type than the other two.

iuo96 July 19th, 2010 2:16 PM

I hated the starters
I gave it up for a lv 2 pidgey!
(now lv 61 beat reds pikachu)

G-Virus July 19th, 2010 2:23 PM

Well... I wasn't unhappy with Cyndaquil, but I wish I chose Totodile now.

Eeohnex July 19th, 2010 3:08 PM

Never been unhappy with the starters I choose. There is a reason behind it why I choose that starter and never been unsatisfied with them. For my first play through in my Soul Silver I chose Cyndaquil, and for my second play through I chose Totodile, these little dudes never fail to amused me.

Planetes. July 19th, 2010 6:15 PM

dude, totodile's a beast. I use a magical process called "Picking the starter you like" when I choose my starter.
Haven't you played Gold, Silver, or Crystal before? I've never been unhappy with my starter because I don't base it on its moves and stuff. Different people have different preceptions, so don't diss Toto or my Feralgatr will eat your Chikorita.

Shadow_Aura_64 July 20th, 2010 2:11 AM

Totodile is my favourite Gen II starter, and my favourite Water starter. You know, 'cause it's awesome. But force of habit made me choose Chikorita in HG. Eh, it's a choice I don't really regret.

PokePokePokey July 20th, 2010 6:32 AM

My favorite set of starters would be from the second generation of games, I chose Totodile and I must say the only trouble I had was at the last gym, I made it forget Ice Fang, bad idea, and it makes the ghost type gym a cake walk.

hack1 July 21st, 2010 3:21 AM

I picked Cyndaquil, because I was going to use Slowpoke as Water type. (Slowbro is a TANK). I wasn't disappointed.

itsangelduh July 21st, 2010 3:30 AM

I;m never unhappy with my Starter. I always choose wisely. :)

MrGnawty July 21st, 2010 4:37 AM

I haven't once restarted HG and I don't plan on it seeing as I have gotten this far and done so much. 114 hours of gameplay is hard to throw away. It doesn't really matter either way because I have all of the starters from all of the games. My fiance restarted her game sometime after I beat mine, so she went ahead and got me the HG/SS starters I missed. I did the same with my Diamond starters, and I migrated from Emerald and FireRed for those starters.

With HG though I started with Cyndaquil because he has been a favorite of mine. Feraligatr is cool and all, but the fact there is no "o" in "Ferali-gator" bothers me more than I like to admit.

lol you wife plays pokemon. I wonder what does your kids say.

Uecil July 21st, 2010 5:08 AM

My first starter was Cyndaquil :3
I loved it's moves, stats and it was a pretty happy guy until I restarted the game. but I've never been disappointed with any starter I pick.

MarstheCar July 21st, 2010 1:53 PM

I love my Chikorita and never regret it. He's the best pokemon on my active team.

DannyB01 July 21st, 2010 3:35 PM

I used to be happy with my cyndaquil, i always find starter pokemon are great until you hit about level 35, then i just switch to something else. In Heart gold I switched to my dragonite, cos it's pretty awesome :D
