Tododile line or Squirtle line?
 
What evolutionary line do you prefer? Any other rare water lines that are better? Why do you prefer one over the other? I like both very much, but am a fan of Feraligatr.

I have now added a poll. I am very curious to see who wins this! I give it 100 days! everyone who has already posted, go back and vote!
let the games begin, and may the odds be EVER in your favor!

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE September 23rd, 2012 10:26 AM

I like all the evolutions (except perhaps Croconaw) but I think overall I prefer the Totodile line - Totodile itself is just awesome and I've never actually used Squirtle in the games :)

Sirfetch’d September 23rd, 2012 11:09 AM

Squirtle line for me. One reason is Squirtle was my first poke, second they are awesome looking. I like the totodile line, but not as much:)

Stodd September 23rd, 2012 3:37 PM

i love them both, but am a Feraligatr fan, as posted above. Feraligatr is just more powerful, not high special, but high attack. moves like earthquake, slash, double-edge, they work well on a Feraligatr.

ShinyUmbreon189 September 23rd, 2012 3:58 PM

Squirtle's fo sho. It doesn't get better than an oversized turtle with cannons coming out of its shell!

Stodd September 23rd, 2012 5:59 PM

I like cannons... haha blastoise is my number one from genI hands down, but i still prefer feraligatr overall.

Rainbow Arcanine September 25th, 2012 2:29 AM

Argh, this is a hard decision ._. I adore the Totodile family a tiny bit more due to a few reasons. It's a crocodile,one of my favourite reptiles and has an awesome design. Even though both of them are insane powerhouses,Totodile's family seemed more of it to me with poweful slashes,crunches,waterfalls all that.

It learns some pretty unique moves and in general I think Feraligatr's design is better. Squirtle's design is pretty amazing but personally Totodile is much more appealing to me xD.

Aryan143 September 25th, 2012 6:24 AM

For me, its Totodile line. They can learn strong moves like Surf, Earthquake, SuperPower, Slash and Crunch. They also have very high special attack.

Tora September 25th, 2012 11:22 AM

I like both, Blastoise and Feraligatr are both awesome. However Totodile is one of my favourites from Gen II and in my opinion it's much cuter than Squirtle so it's the Totodile line for me.

Stodd September 25th, 2012 6:48 PM

keep em' coming guys. i love reading these. you guys have all made some amazing points, and i'd love to hear more.
also be careful of what you post about the moves, as this is a color and metal generation thread.
lovin it, keep it up!

Altairis September 25th, 2012 11:06 PM

Totodile, definitely! As much as I love Squirtle, I don't really like it as much as Totodile. :3

pleryt16 September 26th, 2012 4:38 PM

Squirtle. I dont like either a lot, but I absolutely hate Feraligatr's design, so Squirtle for me.

Kari_the_Glaceon September 26th, 2012 6:37 PM

I've always liked Totodile and Feraligatr best~! Croconaw looks a bit weird to me though, so I like Wartortle's design better. o-o

I do like them all though~ ^^

Shiny_Wooper September 26th, 2012 6:40 PM

I am kind of stuck :/ there both cute, and i like all their evo's, so i would say both XD

i never even considered that logic! perfection LOL!!

oh and for the person who didn't like either line, you can select another water line from those gens that you like best!

ShinyUmbreon189 September 26th, 2012 9:20 PM

I know I already posted here but knowing me I gotta post again... Squirtle line. Not only does Blastoise have cannons coming out of it's shell it learn Hydro Cannon!! They are also the first ever water starters so ya.

Rambagos September 26th, 2012 9:36 PM

I'm a big fan of Feraligatr. So, I would prefer choose Totodile's line. Well, Totodile evolution line was looking pretty good and cool for somewhat looking alligator. But the way for competitive Battle, I would choose Blastoise.

ZetaZaku September 28th, 2012 8:26 AM

Totodile line. Feraligatr looks way cooler than Blastoise (an ordinary turtle with cannons) and proved more useful in battle to me. But I'm not a competitive player so I have no idea which one is stronger.

Crux September 28th, 2012 11:46 AM

Totodile all the way.No hesitation.

υ Shivam September 28th, 2012 7:26 PM

I like blastoise more then feraligatr.
So squirtle line for me.

chella182 September 29th, 2012 4:55 AM

Squirtle line for me, 'cause I like all of them, whereas in the Totodile line the only one I like is Croconaw.

Pokemon_Geek October 2nd, 2012 2:56 PM

Squirtle. I like turtles(especially ones that look like Bowser with cannons) more than alligators even though I love how Croconaw looks like an aggressive Yoshi.

alisaie October 2nd, 2012 7:41 PM

Tough choice, but since Totodile is my all time favorite starter I would have to choose the Totodile line. Wartortle and Blastoise are also cool, but overall I just simply love Toto's line y u p.

Treecko October 3rd, 2012 12:48 AM

Totodile line hands down. I much prefer Feraligatr to Blastoise cause it looks a lot cooler.

Mochaccino October 3rd, 2012 11:09 PM

http://www.serebii.net/art/th/9.png http://www.serebii.net/art/th/160.png
both are very well designed actually, but I like the Squirtle's line a lot more. Squirtle looks nicer and cuter to me. And Blastoise is one of the most badass starter pokes! Feraligatr is kinda creepy...

Kikaito plush October 4th, 2012 12:35 AM

Totodile for the win because Squirtle don't really appeal to my liking much. I guess I prefer Crocodiles to Turtles.

Stodd October 4th, 2012 11:09 PM

i added a poll everyone! lets see who wins.

Hikamaru October 4th, 2012 11:45 PM

Totodile line for me cos they learn an Ice-type attack naturally. Also, I didn't like the Kanto starters much.

Shining Raichu October 5th, 2012 7:30 AM

I voted the Squirtle line, simply because I love all three stages of the Squirtle line whereas I only like Totodile and Croconaw but am not a fan of Feraligatr.

Oshawott986 October 5th, 2012 3:23 PM

Feraligtr is so cool and totodile is so cute. I think Squirtle is cool, but I don't know why. I just think the Totodile line is better.

Rodriguezjames55 October 5th, 2012 3:26 PM

i liked Totodile then gen iii back sprite
http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/81/Spr_b_3r_160.png
Now i hate it

YungKnowledge October 5th, 2012 4:15 PM

I'm not huge a water type fan but I to have go with anything with Blastoise in the line. Hand down not a fight with me Blastoise all the way.

kevcrash October 5th, 2012 5:38 PM

Totodile is my favorite starter ever. Go Toto!

Roggenroller October 19th, 2012 6:03 AM

Blastoise is the best designed starter in my opinion. I always remembered choosing squirtle in pokemon red. Never liked totadile. I would have to go with squirtles evolutionary line.

Mr Cat Dog October 19th, 2012 3:42 PM

While I don't have lots of affection for the Squirtle line, I really dislike Feraligatr and Croconaw. Their designs, stats, movepools and even names are horrible, and it really taints the whole line. The Squirtle line, while kinda boring in comparison to the Emploeon/Swampert lines, at least it competent in all of the metrics mentioned above. As such, it gets my vote.

Squirrel October 20th, 2012 6:04 PM

The Squirtle line for me. I've always disliked the Totodile line with a passion; everything about them strikes me as not good. Their designs and names are irritating and their stats aren't great, so they really aren't Pokémon I've ever gotten on well with. As for the Squirtle line I've always been a pretty big fan since Squirtle is adorable and Blastoise is a bit of a brute, so they're definitely the line I prefer of the two.

60 October 20th, 2012 8:38 PM

Feraligatr's spelling is all that it takes for me to hate the entire Totodile line. End of story. :P But I do like Squirtle. Wartortle is awesome with his wings on his head.

Rothometapratis October 20th, 2012 11:34 PM

Squirtle line. If only Bastoise had natural-looking pumps coming out of its shell than these metal ones. Like as soon as Wartortle evolves rushes to buy army equipment.

Rivvon October 29th, 2012 10:24 PM

I love Wartortle's design, but I'm impartial to Squirtle and Blastoise. I find Totodile to be adorable, Croconaw is a cuddly caveman, and Feraligatr is fierce and surprisingly usable in competitive play. So my vote goes for Totodile's line.

Olli November 2nd, 2012 11:46 AM

Definitely Totodile line! I never really got to like Squirtle for anything other than its design, as I've barely even used it, since both of the other starters of its generation overshined it in pretty much every aspect. Charmander was really popular amongst pretty much everyone at the time that the first generation games were big, and Bulbasaur was just easy to get through the games with, whereas Squirtle never really benefitted the progress in any way that the other two didn't, so I never really felt a reason to use it. After I learned that Grass types were also good against Rock types, I instantly switched over to Bulbasaur.

Totodile, however, was probably the strongest of the three starters in the second generation. How I felt about Squirtle quite generally fell upon Chikorita in this generation, except, unlike Squirtle, the game was significantly harder to get through in the beginning if you chose Chikorita, which of course provided a much bigger challenge, but was also quite annoying, so I either went with Cyndaquil or Totodile. And yeah, though Cyndaquil might've been my first choice most of the times, in a battle of being the favourite between the Squirtle line and the Totodile line, it's definitely the winner.

BanditThePikachu November 2nd, 2012 4:38 PM

I say Tododile, because he has always came to my liking more than Squirtle.

MrTripStack November 2nd, 2012 5:20 PM

I've always considered myself a "water trainer" of sorts and while I do like both Pokémon, my votes definitely gonna be going to Squirtle. He was my favorite stater Pokémon when I played the original games and he's still one of my favorites today (I much prefer to choose my favorite starter Pokémon by type now, since there are so many). There's just something I've always liked about Blastoise.

Sydian November 3rd, 2012 7:18 AM

Swampert. I hate Blastoise, so I'll go with Feraligatr. I prefer Totodile to Squirtle as well, but Wartortle to Croconaw. That's still majority Totodile line haha. Blastoise always felt...weird to me. idk.

Stodd November 5th, 2012 9:03 AM

i found another reason to go with feraligatr. i like dragons, and tend to be a dragon tamer in the gen I/II games. feraligatr resembles a dragon! ?:)

Flaze November 10th, 2012 10:54 AM

Personally, Squirtle is a terrible starter (I agree it's good for Brock, but after that it's pretty useless until Blaine), plus it has too much defense to be an effective leader, I prefer something that has more attack.

I personally like Totodile more, as it can learn Bite and Slash (Also Surf through HM) and can be a very good leader.

TwilightBlade November 10th, 2012 11:05 AM

I couldn't stand Feraligatr's appearance when I was younger. I kept my starter as a Croconaw in Crystal (and unless if the battery died, he would be like, level 77). I just love Croconaw too much. He looks like a boss but he's still pretty cute, haha.

So.. I would have to vote for the Squirtle line since I love all 3 members of the Squirtle family. :P

For nostalgia reasons...

Don Bastio November 20th, 2012 5:43 PM

i pick squirtle, only because i think blastoise is the coolest looking starter not just out of water type, but any starter of any game. for gameplay reasons, i usually pick bulbasaur. bulbasaur is probably the most unappreciated starter, along with all grass starters, probably because grass types are more common than water and way more common than fire types. i pick it to fight misty and brock.

Ruffledfeathers November 21st, 2012 7:25 AM

I prefer Squirtle of the two, but my fave water starter is Mudkip.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ November 21st, 2012 8:24 AM

Design wise I prefer the Totodile line because when it evolves into its final form Feraligatr, its teeth is whats appealing to me and the colors on it. In general I pick the Squirtle line because when it becomes its final form, I like how it has a strong defense stat and it doesnt get KOed as much as Feraligatr


:t354:TG

johnnyman November 29th, 2012 1:54 PM

Squirtle! It's so cute, who doesn't like it?

Mononoke Hime November 29th, 2012 7:57 PM

I like Wartortle from the Squirtle line; and I don't like Croconaw from the Totodile line. At the end, I like more Totodile and Feraligatr than Wartortle.

Cid November 29th, 2012 7:58 PM

Definitely the Squirtle line. I love all Water-type starters, but I've always loved Squirtle and his evos from the start. Ash's Squirtle was pretty much my best imaginary friend back when I watched the anime profusely. <3; Besides, I picked Chikorita over Totodile back in Gold so I guess I never felt attached to the equally cute Water-type starter. And it was pretty much no contest with me anyway, since Squirtle's my favourite Pokémon of all-time. I liked Ash's Totodile, though. So cute.

imevil November 30th, 2012 11:51 AM

I love the squirtle line so much more. But mainly from a design sense. I love turtles lol

The Author November 30th, 2012 3:09 PM

Squirtle. Classic and superior.

Stodd November 30th, 2012 5:13 PM

in the end, you must decide. tank or dragon. classic or (somewhat) new-age. defence or offense. or personal preference. often times ppl battle with their favorites, or just because they are cute.. then others base their team purely on power or strategy. there has to be a balance. all things considered, both are very good. but, as earlier mentioned, i am a dragon tamer. check for feraligatr. design goes to blastoise. strategy and power? in my team schemes, both fit nicely. its a close race, but feraligatr comes out on top. i do think out of all of the evos, wartortle is best designed. but that isnt enough to sway me. tododile wins it for me, but i see how you could go the other way as well.

Sassy Milkshake November 30th, 2012 7:27 PM

"Water pokemon? eh..."

I don't typically like the water starters all that much, but if I had to choose I'd pick Totodile line. The badassery is there in both cases, but more so with the 2nd gen.

Pinkie-Dawn December 1st, 2012 2:01 PM

My vote goes to Squirtle, because at least it's able to use its STAB better than Totodile, whose evolved form's highest stat is Physical Attack, and Water in those gens is still labeled as Special.

KitsuneLugia96 December 8th, 2012 6:22 AM

Totodile line for me! I love Totodile, Feraligatr is one of my favorite Pokemon.

Whitney's Shaymin December 12th, 2012 7:02 AM

gen 2 for me. Any day i'd take johto starters instead of kanto starters!

Serperion December 15th, 2012 3:00 AM

Totodile > Squirtle
Wartortle > Croconaw
Blastoise < Feraligatr

In conclusion Crocodiles are better than Turtles in my opinion

Growboyz June 6th, 2013 10:00 AM

This poll is closed but I have to say the Totodile line because I think Feraligtr is cooler then Blastoise.

Sydian June 6th, 2013 12:57 PM
