What's a starter?


A starter Pokémon is one that you begin your journey with. In the anime, most characters begin their journey with the starters that correspond to their region, however, Ash, one of the main protagonists, started off with a Pikachu. In the main Pokémon games, besides Pokémon Yellow, trainers started off their journey with one of their regional staters. For those reasons, this club is aimed mainly at the regional starters, however, it can apply to starters of other games, such as Eevee, Umbreon, Espeon, etc, though it would be better if discussion revolved mainly around the main staters.

I'd like to join please. :P

Which is your favourite starter and why?
Treecko. I used to hate it at first, but it started growing on me. By the time I got the first Mystery Dungeon, it became my favorite.

Shadow Ball November 24th, 2010 12:56 PM

I'd like to join please. :]

I'll have to go with Charmander. I know it's a popular favorite, but it was my first starter and pokemon ever in the games, and I just think it's so cute, and it's evolutions are so cool! :] Plus I'm a fire type lover.

Xilfer November 24th, 2010 12:59 PM

Hm, i like the idea of this, i'll join.

Name: Xilfer123
Partner: Tepig
Reason to join: i like almost all the starters, i just don't like totodile, mudkip and Oshawott, weird how i don't like the water starters much, but i have nothing against squirtle, i love pretty much all the fire type starters, Tepig Chimchar torchic charmander cyndaquil, and the grass ones too.

dragoniteuser November 24th, 2010 1:44 PM

Hey Forever, I'd like to join too!
As for my favorite, it's definitely Charmander!
Not very original, but I absolutely adore that Pokémon!

Christopher November 24th, 2010 2:03 PM

I would like to join
My Favorite would have to be Torchic with Turtwig & Totodile tied for second
I generally like them all except Chikorita,I just don't have a use for it.

Ho-Oh November 24th, 2010 4:29 PM

All added! :)
Oh and if you'd like, you can discuss other people's favourites, too!

Hmmm... yeah my favourite overall is Torchic, but Turtwig? I...dislike. XD;

Charmander would have been my favourite only IF I played R/B/Y first. XD

...same here, water starters except totodile never really appealed to me, though I do like Oshawott.

I played MD but Treecko was never my partner, haha. I only really used it in R/S.

Snow Phoenix November 24th, 2010 5:01 PM

I'd like to join.

My favorite starter is Squirtle. I find the design to be adorable.

I love Ash's Squirtle in the anime... with the whole Squirtle Squad thing. I was a little irked with the Firefighter thing... but mostly cause that meant byebye Squirtle.

I also used Squirtle the first time I played Pokemon (I think it was Blue?). I remember that I could never get past that first Picknicker who waited right by the "cut tree" on the way to Rock Tunnel... so I ended up switching to Charmander so I could pawn her grass types ;.;

AshPikastar November 24th, 2010 5:14 PM

Mind if I join? My favorite starter Pokemon is Chimchar. I practically love all the starters.

Shadow Ball November 24th, 2010 9:50 PM

I think both of Charmander's evolutions are pleasing to the eyes, that's another reason he's my favorite. I love Squirtle and Bulbasaur as well, but when they evolve they just get kind of, for lack of a better word, ugly to me. :/ Ivysaur, I think is adorable though. Just that last stage gets me. xD I guess you could call me vain.

As for the Johto starters - Cyndaquil remains my favorite of the three, as well as probably my second favorite of all time. I am baised to fire, but it's also that yet again I like his design and final forms the best. I'm a little fond of Chikorita, too though. Meganium is cute and can actually pack a punch for a Grass type.

I never seem to be fond of the water starters either. Possibly because I'm not fond of water types in general. xD I'm more of an earthy and firey person. The rare times I did pick a water starter though, it was nice to always have surf on hand. Charizard can fly though... <3

Glaciezxstar November 25th, 2010 6:36 AM

Can I join? o:

My favourite starter is Chikorita. (Though he/she's kinda useless in battling. |:) I think it's because it's the only starter that caught my eye when I was picking a starter in Crystal. (Though Cyndaquil is cute, too.)

dragoniteuser November 25th, 2010 8:40 AM

Well as for their evolutions, Charmander evo line is just pure work of awesomeness! XD
But all jokes aside, I love all starters and their evolutions. It's a cliche, I know, but I just do...
The only two Pokémon of the entire starter evo lines are Tepig's evolutions. Tepig had such a huge potential, and the evos could have been MUCH better IMO!

Will94 November 25th, 2010 12:16 PM

I would also like to join please!!!
Currently, my favorite starter Pokemon is Turtwig!!!
At first, I was like, "Yuck, what the hell is that?" But now I'm like, "JESUS! LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT JAW!!"
It is adorably cute, and it makes a cool sound.

But then again I like all of the starter Pokemon, except the Hoenn starters, I can stand Treeko, but seriously, as soon as I catch one Pokemon, I am releasing him. I also don't like Wartortle, but I love Squirtle and Blastoise, and I don't like Croconaw, but Totodile is AWESOME!!

Shadow Ball November 25th, 2010 12:36 PM

I always thought Chikorita was an okay battler, as far as starters go. :o Then again I've only picked it once or twice. The only starters where I don't like really any of the designs, are the Sinnoh starters... :/ Chimchar is my favorite of them, but I was still never that fond of it.

Spinosaurus November 25th, 2010 12:38 PM

I made a userbar for the group~
http://i56.*.com/rqyi5v.png
Hope you'll like it. I liked the way it turned out. xD Will make Fire and Water tomorrow.

Oh yes, I remember that... slightly. XD; I do recall that Ash' Squirtle used to be a bad guy or something, though?

Well, Blastoise is a pretty awesome evolution, it's just Venusaur that's the more boring of the three. XD;

Oh Meganium is kinda nostalgic to me, but the moveset andthe Pokemon in general? Don't care much about. XD;

Yeah Chikorita was pretty weak, so when I did use it, I usually used a bird Pokemon alongside it. XD;

It looks nice! :D I'll add it soon~

dragoniteuser November 26th, 2010 5:54 AM

Well I guess I would get rid of Chikorita if I absolutely had to. I like Chikorita, but out of all starters, it's my least favourite. :/
Can't say anything for the Isshu starters, since I haven't played BW yet...

Spinosaurus November 26th, 2010 8:59 AM

If you could choose to get rid of one starter forever, which one would it be & why (considering what everyone else wants)?
Charmander. Because its overrated and I'd like to annoy the fans. *shot*

Xilfer November 26th, 2010 10:32 AM

(looks at snow outside) srry, it's snowing here in canada :D
right, for the new topic, i've played BW up until the second gym, so i'd saaaay.... Mudkip, i never liked it or its evos, and its never had of any use to me because of Treecko.

dragoniteuser November 26th, 2010 10:41 AM

But..., but..., everyonz luuuurvs Mudkipz! LOL
Well i don't know much about BW starters, But i really like Tsutarja's evo line! (sorry, Snivy's evo line)...
I also prefer tsutarja. Much better name IMO!
But i don't like the fact that Oshawott's (lousy name btw) final evo is a completly different animal then the preevos! The preevos are Sea otters (like the second evo), but the final evo is a Sea lino... :/

Christopher November 26th, 2010 10:45 AM

If you could choose to get rid of one starter forever, which one would it be & why (considering what everyone else wants)?
Chikorita, I have never seen the point to this thing I hated when I was a kid in the Anime I hated it when I picked for a run through silver,I dislike its design. there is nothing about chikorita that I like.

Snivy, I likey. I also like Oshawott. His final evo is also based on a giant otter. I don't like Chaoboo, only Tepig and Enbuoh.. (It looks like Ganon. 8D)

I'll go and make the fire and water userbars.

tkallab November 26th, 2010 11:07 AM

It's been a while since I joined a club... Time to change that!

My favorite starter is Oshawott. He's just so cute! Even though a lot of people think he's ugly... And his name is kinda silly too, but I don't judge on names.

And I'd never get rid of a starter Pokémon, I actually adore them all. But if I had to, I'd sacrifice Chikorita. It's too plain in my opinion.

Spinosaurus November 26th, 2010 11:23 AM

Done with the userbars.

Oshawott is indeed pretty cute. :D

Why do people hate on Chikorita? I used to hate it too, but it started growing on me. It's based on a dinosaur aswell, which is a plus for me. <3

Shadow Ball November 26th, 2010 12:20 PM

Spinosaurus; Those are so cute! If my signature wasn't so big and annoying, I'd put one in to help advertise. xD; and I have a secret grudge on you for what you said about Charmander

I don't hate on Chikorita, I actually liked her and her evolutions quite a bit. Yeah, Meganium wasn't the best ever, but I still enjoyed it more than Feraligatr. xD; Maybe for designs reasons. Typhlosion kicks both of them imo, though ~ <3 The grass starter I dislike the most is probably the new one, Snivy. Everyone seems to love it which is one thing that gets me annoyed off the bat, but also, I think it's just weird looking. (I really needs to get more reasons for liking/disliking other than looks. xD)

If you could choose to get rid of one starter forever, which one would it be & why (considering what everyone else wants)?

I would probably get rid of Mudkip, because that huge meme of it that still floats around the Internet annoys the crap outta me. xD; I know, I know, bad reason. I don't have a good reason for any of them though, because I don't hate any of them, really. But I've never been fond of Mudkip or chosen it before.

AshPikastar November 26th, 2010 12:24 PM

If you could choose to get rid of one starter forever, which one would it be & why (considering what everyone else wants)?

I would have to say Chikorita. Chikorita was ok but I wasn't too crazy about it. The only thing I like about this starter is its final form. Everything else I'm not a fan of.

dragoniteuser November 26th, 2010 12:29 PM

The most people seem to pick chikorita as their least favourite...
@AshPikastar that's funny, since I don't really like Meganium... out of those three, I like Bayleaf's design the most!

Shadow Ball November 26th, 2010 12:32 PM

I'm surprised to see so many people choosing Chikorita. Poor thing, haha. I always disliked Treeko and Turtwig more than Chikorita, myself. I'm also surprised to see that nobody has voted for Mudkip as their favorite. I was always the only one out of my group of friends who didn't love Mudkip. :P

Will94 November 26th, 2010 12:43 PM

I would get rid of the Hoenn starters, actually I would just bomb all of Hoenn, except for Flygon.

AshPikastar November 26th, 2010 12:46 PM

I actually like Mudkip but it was a hard choice between Chimchar and Turtwig. Mudkip would have to be my favorite Hoenn starter Pokemon though.

dragoniteuser November 26th, 2010 12:47 PM

Nooooooooo!!! Hoenn is my absolutely favourite region!
Plus the starters are all really great! All three are cute, and have amazing final evos!
What more do you want?!

AshPikastar November 26th, 2010 12:55 PM

Hoenn had Grovyle, Blazikin, and Swampert which are awesome Pokemon. I almost like all of their final form but Treeko.

tkallab November 26th, 2010 1:09 PM

Yeah, Hoenn had some awesome starters. It's just too long ago I played the Hoenn games, or I'd probably pick one of their starters as my favorite.

Spinosaurus November 26th, 2010 1:18 PM

Hoenn is actually my favorite region, and it had my favorite starters. It's the only region that didn't have a starter for me to dislike. (if you include the evos, that is.)

Will94 November 26th, 2010 1:46 PM

I like all of the starters except for Hoenn's ones. I pick Treecko when I pllay Emerald, but I usually get rid of it when I catch another Pokemon.

Snow Phoenix November 26th, 2010 4:02 PM

I wasn't that big of a fan of Hoenn either... at least compared to the regions before it (I actually like Chikorita). I used Mudkip because Fish that can beat the snot out of Electric types are good :O Oh and I have no permission to rat on Torchic because my pair is attached to that one. Treeco, however, is fair game :P

But, the starter I'd have kicked would be Chimchar or Tepig :/ I felt that as a second Fire/Fighting type... Infernape and Emboar flopped in comparison to Blaziken. I'm one of those people who is disliking this trend in Fire starters :/ I personally have no beef with the starter forms though.

Ho-Oh November 26th, 2010 6:58 PM

Hoenn's starters are kind of... boring? I love Torchic, don't get me wrong, but compared to the previous ones, something about Hoenn's seemed below par? I remember when B/W were announced and Tsutaaja was mentioned... people kept saying it was just like Treecko and that's why it sucked. And then like, not much longer it became pretty much the starter Pokemon with the second most popular meme of all, haha (I'd assume second most because of I herd u liek mudkipz).

Christopher November 26th, 2010 7:15 PM

I really like all the regions starts (save for Chikorita) I loved Hoenn I used my Sceptile until I lost my ruby :( sneaky gremlins stealing stuff.
anyway long story short I love the Hoenn starters and have high expectations for the Isshu/Unova starters.

Ho-Oh November 26th, 2010 8:05 PM

Oh just had a strange thought earlier about Tepig.

Charmander, Cyndaquil, Chimchar.
Torchic, Tepig.

Tepig got its naming because Torchic felt left out? :(
(And yet right now Torchic/Tepig are my favourite starters lol).

Oh wow I never noticed that. If Tepig started with a "C" what do you guys think it would be called?

Spinosaurus November 27th, 2010 4:23 AM

Speaking of Tepig, I wonder if Enbuoh will be any useful in competitive battle. I know this was discussed everywhere when the stats were leaked, but I forgot. xD

tkallab November 27th, 2010 5:53 AM

Well, I don't know Emboar's stats, but he's gonna need something that Blaziken and Infernape don't have if he wants to be used.

Shadow Ball November 27th, 2010 6:00 PM

I'll be the first to admit I play the game for fun and know nothing about competitive battle, but I won't be choosing Tepig because it's evolutions are hideous. Yeah, I'm still going on about looks. xD If I was doing competitive stuff my outlook would probably be different though.

I'm glad Torchic got a fellow "T" fire starter though, haha. Torchic is pretty cute. Hmm... if Tepigs name started with a C? Charboar? That's pretty much stealing from Charmander though. I have no clue. xD

tkallab November 28th, 2010 2:03 AM

Maybe something with coals? Like 'Coalpig'... How about Coalog? You still kind of pronounce the 'h' in that.
I don't really like Enbuoh either, but he's not awful either. I guess I just don't like him being that fat. But he's the strongest and bulkiest of all the starter Pokémon, so he's not useless, despite how fat he looks. His speed is the lowest of all Fire Starters, though. I guess we now know what makes him different than Infernape and Blaziken.

And I just noticed, am I accepted or what? I'm not on the members list yet. Being ignored makes me a sad panda...

It's like a worse version of Infernape. (imo) With higher attack and HP, but worse defenses, Sp.Atk (a little) and Speed. ;\

The owner is probably busy. Just give her time \o/

Ho-Oh November 28th, 2010 3:38 AM

...

Oooh I'm sorry. D: I thought you were already a member, haha. Thanks for reminding me. :x

Coalpig is kinda strange. XD For some reason, I can't imagine Tepig as a C, like, at all. Chimchar and Charmander... are kinda similar, though. Maybe Cynda could be reused! Boarynda.

... Wow that sounds worse. XD;

dragoniteuser November 28th, 2010 3:41 AM

How about Chapork?
Sorry, for that lousy food joke...
I'm OK with it's name, although I already got used to their Japanese names, so those sound a lot better to me! Pokabu actually suits it!

BlueHighwind November 28th, 2010 3:43 AM

I would like to join.
Name:BlueHighwind
Favorite Starter:I can't pick! Mudkip or Piplup or Cyndaquil or Bulbasaur!?!?Reason:The starters are pretty rad, I mean, who here had ever thought a fire chicken or a fire porcupine?
Least favorite starters:Chimchar and Tepig. Do we REALLY need more Fire/Fighting pokemon? Plus it would make tons of people sad that they have to give up on their fire/fighting and go to GRASS AND WATER.....MWAHAHA!!!!

Maybe it would be called Choink?

Char+Oink?

I don't know.

tkallab November 28th, 2010 3:49 AM

Nah, Choink sounds too much like Spoink.
A pork reference in his name would have been awesome, haha! Porkoal would have been awesome if we didn't already have Torkoal...

I'm OK with it's name, although I already got used to their Japanese names, so those sound a lot better to me! Pokabu actually suits it!

Chapork sounds like you're calling Tepig a chap or something, haha. Charpork! ...sounds nice. :3 And yeah Pokabu sounds it, but oh well, it had to change!

Well, one of its names is Floink in another language, so. D; Theoretically, it could work. Sorta. XD;

BlueHighwind November 28th, 2010 3:54 AM

Chork maybe?

Char+Pork.

Wait.......sounds like dork.

Well.....Tepig is a dork, so it makes sense.

tkallab November 28th, 2010 4:02 AM

I definitely hope someone in the evolutionary line is gonna be called Pignite.

Shadow Ball November 28th, 2010 11:38 AM

Pignite! haha, I love that... now I'm wishing Tepig's line was named after dynamite instead. "The explosive pig pokemon". xD haha ~

Mudkip got some votes! 8D Nobody likes Torchic it seems though. xD;

I'm sick of the fire/fighting thing too... what I would really enjoy is a fire/dark starter one day. Or fire/ghost. :3 They need to try something way different.

I actually like Torchic. One of my favorite starters. xD I'd vote for him if Treecko wasn't there. x3 And its evos are cool. :D

dragoniteuser November 28th, 2010 12:09 PM

Torchic is one of the best Pokémon out there!
It's so cute, and Blaziken is just FTW! It's the best Fire/Fighting starter of them all!
http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y380/seven7eleven11/Cartoons/Pokemon/200px-TorchicGinji.jpg
So cute!

Kinda funny IMO! But cool nevertheless!
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_irFbAdY-zSU/TBZEbZbShdI/AAAAAAAAAGY/EXtOYMKXk9Y/s1600/blaziken.jpg
Pure essence of epicness!

tkallab November 28th, 2010 12:13 PM

Yes. The first and best Fire / Fighting starter Pokémon. Of course, Blastoise is the real fire fighter. Ex Dee.

Torchic is definitely my second fave Fire starter, only surpassed by the always awesome Charmander.

dragoniteuser November 28th, 2010 12:15 PM

It's true, Charmander is, and always will be my all time favorite starter!
But if not for it, I think a lot of people would prefer Torchic!

tkallab November 28th, 2010 12:19 PM

Yeah, I think Torchic is kind of left out of conversation because he's neither the best nor controversial... And let's not forget he's from Hoenn, considered the worst region by many Pokémon 'fans'.

dragoniteuser November 28th, 2010 12:22 PM

Well not by this Pokémon "fan"! Hoenn is my favorite region!
Back on topic...
I do think that coming from Hoenn actually affects their popularity!

tkallab November 28th, 2010 12:25 PM

I think that mostly goes for Mudkip. Or 'Mudkipz'.

dragoniteuser November 28th, 2010 12:29 PM

Well everyonz luuurvs Mudkipz!
But that's just a meme, and doesn't have much to do with the pokemon itself...

tkallab November 28th, 2010 12:31 PM

He's even considered derpy by the Pokécommunity itself!

Out of all fire type Pokemon, Torchic and Tepig are two Pokemon that I don't like. I mainly like Blaziken but I'm glad that Mudkip is getting votes at least. "So I heard you liek Mudkipz"

Having a fire/Dark starter would be nice but I would love to have a fire/steel or something different besides Fire/fighting.

tkallab November 28th, 2010 1:12 PM

Enbuoh should have been Fire / Dark. He looks like Ganon and he's pretty dark.

AshPikastar November 28th, 2010 1:14 PM

A lot of my friends say that Enbuoh looks like Ganon but I can actually see him as a Fire/Dark.

Ho-Oh November 28th, 2010 8:17 PM

Yeah I remember when people first saw it, they started thinking it'll be fire/dark, but of course, we know Pokemon, they won't make starters a lot stronger than they already are. In which case, Snivy would have had to be psychic or something, with Oshawott being fighting. Latter works well, but former... Snivy doesn't match psychic, and nor does its evolutions. :(

Shadow Ball November 28th, 2010 10:24 PM

I don't mind Torchic; Chimchar and Tepig are probably my least favorite fire starters, mostly just because of my vanity again and their design. If Enbuoh had been half dark, I totally would have considered choosing Tepig, I love dark types. Now that I look at him, he does sort of resemble Ganon, which is quite amusing. xD;

In all seriousness though, hope one day they have a game with something other than the fire/water/grass starter options. With so many other types, I think it would be cool to try something different...

tkallab November 28th, 2010 10:32 PM

Nah, we have spin-off games for that. Pokémon should stay true to the original starter pattern.

Shadow Ball November 29th, 2010 12:25 AM

I enjoy mixing things up, though. I get bored of the same scheme over and over rather easily. I understand classic, but I like excitement every once in awhile. Plus I don't play the spin-off games, they're never as good. :/ It's all just opinion though.

King Gumball November 29th, 2010 12:33 AM

Hi Forever, can I join please?

★ Which is your favourite starter and why?
Jalorda because it is really big and majestic and reminds me of my favourite mythology creature, the Medusa. And it is a grass type, my favourite pokemon type. Jalorda has recently replaced Venasaur as my favourite.

★ If you could choose to get rid of one starter forever, which one would it be & why (considering what everyone else wants)?

Treeko, because... I just have never liked it. It is ugly and really smug, and has been owned by Snivy recently. I don't like its evolutions either. I would never miss Treeko and co.

Well, IMO, theese are the typeings of the final starters evos:
Jalorda
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/29/497Jalorda.png
This is definetly Grass/Dragon!

Enbouh
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/73/500Enbuoh.png
Fire/Fighting (not that I'm happy with it, but it does look like that!)
Fire/Dark - more original

Daikenki
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/0/02/503Daikenki.png
Water/Ice since it's based on a sea lion (no way is that a sea otter)
Water/Fighting makes kinda sence cause of the armor and that blade shell...

Ho-Oh November 29th, 2010 3:00 AM

...well, since we're discussing it:
(You guys can make topics whenever you want too, haha).

If you could change the typings for the final evolutions of any of the starters, which Pokemon would you change the typings of?

For me, I'd say defs make Charizard a dragon and Daikenki a fighting type, because everything about its evolution line hints its a fighting type. :3

Added!~

tkallab November 29th, 2010 3:29 AM

Draggy, you're going as far as calling obvious snakes Dragons? Gee, I'll add Arbok and Seviper too, then.

On topic, Daikenki as a Water / Fighting type would be awesome and logical, because the family's based on samurai.
I already spoke my opinion about Enbuoh.
And as opposed to many others, I think Charizard should keep his typing. Yes, he is obviously a Dragon, but giving him the type would make him ridiculously overpowered, even having a resistance to Blastoise.

To return on Jalorda being a Dragon (seriously Draggy?), he even has 'ja', snake, in its name.

AshPikastar November 29th, 2010 8:46 AM

I always thought of Charizard as a Dragon type instead of a Flying/Fire. Now having a water/fighting would be interesting and would have fit Daikenki. Sadly I can't think of any other starter Pokemon but Charizard, Daikenki, and Enbuoh being a different time.

Spinosaurus November 29th, 2010 9:05 AM


If you could change the typings for the final evolutions of any of the starters, which Pokemon would you change the typings of?
Enbuoh - Fire/Dark. That's it for me, really.

BlueHighwind November 29th, 2010 11:08 AM

If you could change the typings for the final evolutions of any of the starters, which Pokemon would you change the typings of?

Sceptile to a Grass/Fighting

Also.....if we are allowed to make questions...

If you had to, which starter would you delete and replace it with what?

How's that?

I would Delete Chimchar and replace him with.....Slugma......add an extra evo there and boom....your done!

dragoniteuser November 29th, 2010 11:35 AM

Yes, Thomas, Jalorda definetly looks like a kind of a dragon to me!
So I suppose you think that Dragonair isn't a Dragon then?

I'd replace Chikorita's evo line with Victreebell's evo line!

tkallab November 29th, 2010 11:56 AM

'Ja' literally means snake.
'Dragon' literally means dragon.

I rest my case.

Christopher November 29th, 2010 12:29 PM

If you could change the typings for the final evolutions of any of the starters, which Pokemon would you change the typings of?

Jaroda-Grass/Dark

Enboah?-Fire/Dark

Feraligatr-Water/Dark

Xilfer November 29th, 2010 2:28 PM

Hey, um, i have nothing against this club and i love starters, but i don't have enough time to answer this club, would you mind taking me off of the member's list, thanks.
on a starter note: i guess Tepig is my fav starter of almost all of them, i have been loyal to many of the fire starters.

Shadow Ball November 29th, 2010 3:24 PM

I'd have Enbouh (or however you spell it, lol) be fire/dark. He just looks the type to me. But I would love for Charizard to be an actual dragon type.

I don't really know what I'd replace the starters with, really. Unless I could replace them with pokemon of different types I really wouldn't replace any of them. They just seem to get more boring as the time goes on. I definitely wouldn't change any on the first 2 generations of starters, though. I'm not that fond of the fourth gen. starters, so if I think a bit more, I could probably easily replace them to my liking. Same with the newest ones...

Ummm let's see. Replace Turtwig with Roselia or something, since imo, Turtwig's final evolution looks like Venusaur. XD;

Xilfer123: Imma keep you on the list anyway, but you don't need to post often, once a year will do~

Spinosaurus November 30th, 2010 10:49 AM

That is a hard one, but I say none. I can't think of any Pokemon that can replace one of the current starters.

Christopher November 30th, 2010 1:28 PM

If you had to, which starter would you delete and replace it with what?
hmm tough one I think if I had to I would replace Chikorita with either the Hoppip line or the oddish line

King Gumball December 1st, 2010 12:35 PM


If you could change the typings for the final evolutions of any of the starters, which Pokemon would you change the typings of?
Emboar- Fire/dark
Jalorda- Grass/dragon
Blastoise- Water/rock

Bulbasaur- Grass only

Thanks for adding me =)

AshPikastar December 3rd, 2010 7:19 AM

Anyone have any suggestions for a new topic?

@AshPikastar
This is actually considered as spam/offtopic...

New topic:
Out of all starter final evos, which one is the strongest in your opinion?

Spinosaurus December 3rd, 2010 9:43 AM

Out of all starter final evos, which one is the strongest in your opinion?
Infernape. It's obvious though. xD Awesome mix-attacker and choice scarf user.

Woops. Sorry about that.

Topic: Infernape would have to be the strongest. It has a good ability like Blaze. Next it would have to be Torterra.

dragoniteuser December 3rd, 2010 10:37 AM

IMO it's Charizard!
It doesn't even need to battle... as soon as it steps in, all the other starters faint cause of it's epicness!!! :P
http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7e/006Charizard.png

AshPikastar December 3rd, 2010 10:39 AM

Lol if my mom was here she would probably pick Charizard since that is her favorite Pokemon. His shiny form is also pretty awesome as well.

King Gumball December 3rd, 2010 6:35 PM

Out of all starter final evos, which one is the strongest in your opinion?

I would say...
Empoleon, because of its SpA and its defensive stats. It's Surf is ownage, and Aqua Jet is good too. Plus the Stell gives it immunity to Grass types, So grass knot won't hurt it as much.http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Lvk1rpQukkAcOM:http://fc08.deviantart.com/fs46/f/2009/169/3/f/395_Empoleon_by_Skitteeh.jpg&t=1Oh Yeah <3

BlueHighwind December 5th, 2010 8:47 AM

For me.......A 3 way tie between Typhlosion, Swampert, and Empoleon.

If you use them in battle all together, you win. Period.

Regeneration December 6th, 2010 2:32 AM

I want to join as well! ^_^

★ Which is your favourite starter and why?
Snivy! Ewww.. that name. I prefer Tsutaja. Reasons? Snakes are awesome! Excluding those horrible snake Pokemon like Ekans and Seviper.

★ If you could choose to get rid of one starter forever, which one would it be & why (considering what everyone else wants)?

Bulbasaur. Even though I love grass type Pokemon, this one looks horrible to me. >_>

AshPikastar December 9th, 2010 5:02 AM

Welcome Regeneration!

New topic:

If you could change the type of the starters what would it be?

Instead of having grass, water, and fire, I think it should be: Electric, Dark, and Ice.

dragoniteuser December 9th, 2010 5:25 AM

Well they should be balanced...
So:
Dark - Fighting - Psychic
Grass - Poison - Ground

tkallab December 9th, 2010 7:24 AM

It really shouldn't be changed, it's definitely fine the way it is. Tradition and nostalgia are important parts of long-running franchises, and Pokémon is no exception.

And if they're gonna change it anyway, it should be Fire - Ice - Electric. Not necessarily balanced, but just the main elements of the Pokémon world.

dragoniteuser December 9th, 2010 8:38 AM

I do nee the point in changing the starter's types, and not make it ballanced.
Besides, what makes you think that those are main elements of Pokemon world?!
I've got another combo:
Water - Electric - Ground

tkallab December 9th, 2010 9:18 AM

Well, if you want it balanced, you need to make it well-balanced. You can't use Dark and Psychic, because Dark is immune. Same with Electric and Ground. Also, if you want a completely different rock-paper-scissors trio, you can't use types that were already in the original.

Regarding the main elements thingy... Blizzard, Thunder, Fire Blast, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, Ice Fang, Thunder Fang, Fire Fang, Ice Punch, Thunderpunch, Fire Punch, Magmar, Electabuzz, Jynx, Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, and so forth... I probably missed some, too.

dragoniteuser December 9th, 2010 11:10 AM

And that makes them "main elements" because...?
