mine was mudkip and chramander

Ω Ruby and α Sapphire January 13th, 2012 4:28 PM

torchic, as blaziken irl and the game would kick swampert and sceptile buts. And squirtle, cause blastoise is a a bigg turtle with giant cannons on his back!

Lara January 17th, 2012 12:30 PM

Bulbasaur was the first choice, since I love grass Pokemon. This was in LG. In FR, I obviously chose Charmander; well, because I wanted to try something different.

Nick January 21st, 2012 6:06 PM

Oh goodness, well, I know I got LeafGreen and chose Bulbasaur (since I chose Charmander the first time in Red/Blue, I wanted to switch it up). I can't remember if I chose Torchic or Mudkip in my Sapphire version. I know I didn't get it until a while after it came out, and because of that I know I was impressionable because I didn't get it until after the anime started airing. I think, since I liked Torchic in the anime, I chose Torchic for my first run-through. Then I chose Mudkip because I liked it better in my second and all consecutive playthroughs.

I chose Charmander in FireRed and Torchic in Emerald because I really like Fire-type Pokémon and they're over powered from early game to late game. They have advantages in gyms compared to Grass- and Water-type Pokémon so completing game is little faster. Before Torchic I chose Treeco and Mudkip in previous saves but then realized how good Blaziken can be with it's burning attacks.

Mostly Squirtle and Mudkip.

I love Water types :3.

Cosmotone8 January 31st, 2012 7:38 PM

I choose Squirtle and Treecko, though Mudkips not bad either.

JesterKing February 1st, 2012 2:06 AM

So I heard you like Mudkips...

wildkayaker February 1st, 2012 8:39 PM

Charmander and Torchic! Fire and dragon types are my favorite and since there is no dragon starter I chose the fire type. I love fire types!

BlazeRage February 3rd, 2012 4:39 PM

Fire type
And sometimes Mudkip

Ephemeral Euphoria February 3rd, 2012 4:48 PM

Mudkip on Sapphire, Torchic on Ruby, Treecko on Emerald, Charmander/Bulbasaur on Fire Red, and Squirtle on Leaf Green lol.

Jellicent♀ February 3rd, 2012 5:38 PM

I flip flop between Mudkip and Torchic, Squirtle and Bulbasaur. I like more of the bulkier Pokemon than anything. I like Charmander and Treecko, I'd just rather the other four.

Hikamaru February 5th, 2012 4:23 AM

In all my Hoenn games (my Ruby and my brother's Sapphire and Emerald) I chose Mudkip cos it's the easiest to use throughout the game plus I love Water-types.

TheBritishNerd February 15th, 2012 11:48 AM

Mudkip and Squirtle gotta love water types.

fanp February 15th, 2012 11:57 AM

I choose Torchic and Squirtle

Ostrich February 15th, 2012 2:42 PM

I chose water type starters in all of my games. They have a great endurance while maintaining a good offense.

Darkrylles February 17th, 2012 9:02 AM

Mudkip and Squirtle were awesome. In my other playthroughs I chose Charmander in LG.

sethiey February 19th, 2012 6:41 AM

oddly enough i started with pokemon ruby and then worked my way down to red/blue w/e, my first pick was a treecko! I don't know how i got so far with him but he was about level 61 around the 7th gym :3 OP like a boss

Squirrel February 22nd, 2012 5:06 PM

For LG my choice was Bulbasaur. I only ever got round to playing through that game once but my Bulby was with me the whole time! Such a reliable Pokemon, especially based on the Kanto gyms :3 In Hoenn my first ever starter was Torchic whom was adorable and then evolved and became kinda gross so I was very disappointed. In my latest run through I used Treecko which has surpassed all expectations and looks amazing in all stages! Grass types ftw o/

Limanya February 23rd, 2012 12:02 AM

Treecko and Squirtle :3 Gotta luv em!

Avishka February 23rd, 2012 4:28 AM

in LG i chose Charmander
In HG/SS i chose Cyndaquil
In Ruby i chose Mudkip and Treecko
In Diamond and Pearl i chose Chimchar and
In Black i chose Oshawott.

Zythrone February 23rd, 2012 5:17 AM

I always choose fire, except in Gen II where I sometimes choose water.

Lynch February 23rd, 2012 5:59 AM

The best starters for me are:
FireRed-Leaf Green=Squirtle,Bulbasaur
Crystal-Gold-Silver=Cyndiquil
Ruby-Saphirre=Torchic

In some of them i cant even chose which is better so i put two :D

I agree with Sirius who doesnt like Blaziken

Sirius February 23rd, 2012 11:32 AM

I played through with all 3 but the first one I chose was Torchick and to this day Blaziken is till one of my all time favorite pokemon because of that. I mean, it's a giant, fire breathing, kick-boxing chicken. What's not to love?

the larch February 25th, 2012 8:35 PM

Treecko for RSE and I have yet to play FRLG.
