Your IDEAL starter in FR/LG/R/S/E
OK, the choice is yours....
What, in your mind, is your ideal starter/s in all the 3rd gen games? This is one aspect where your choices are usually always limited to fire/grass/water. BUT If you had the choice of any pokemon to accompany you on your journey, which one would you choose? OBVIOUSLY, overpowered legendaries are out of the question and all pokemon should be in their PRE-evolved forms/base forms. You're allowed to break the water-grass-fire type rule though!! Want a ghost-type starter? go for it!! Sound off below!! |
...3th? :( You mean 3rd? Anyway, gonna tag on a "3rd Generation" prefix to this since you're asking for all 3rd gen games.
I'm fine with the starter choices we have in RSE/FRLG though, so I really wouldn't want anything else. I guess Eevee would be cool for FRLG since you can buy the evolutionary stones it needs, but you wouldn't be able to have Umbreon or Espeon, so that sucks. As for RSE, I really love all three starters and wouldn't wanna change them. If I had to Swablu would be nice, cause I hate having to wait so long to get one. Chirp. |
If Feebas weren't so terribly useless until you have a few TMs or evolve it, I might have chosen it, just because they're next to impossible to find in R/S/E. Honestly, though, I can't think of too many other Pokemon that I would want as a starter, as I've always been content with the choices that we've been given. Maybe I'd go with Dratini, just so I could have a Dragonite earlier on in my journey.
|
This is a hard decision, since I like so many pokemon from all three gens. But I guess I would choose Bagon as the starter.
|
I'd pick Gastly, no contest there!
|
I would probably start with a Roselia since it's one of my fave Grass-types.
|
For me, it's Ralts or Ghastly. Their evolutions are so cool.
If I were limited to normal starters, I pick Mudkip. Although your rival picks Treecko in R/S/E, if you teach Earthquake/Ice Beam to Marshtomp or Swampert, then there, problem solved. |

Personally, I would want Pikachu in FR/LG....just for nostalgia purposes.....but in terms of ''coolness'', I'd pick Dratini. I've always wanted to journey with a dragonite |
I think having a fossil starter would be pretty cool. It'd take a crap load of training to evolve those suckers though. ;P
|
I, like Syd, think that Eevee would have been a cool FRLG starter, especially because I could evolve it into Vaporeon! As for RSE, I like the starters the way they are.
|
For me it would have to be my favorite Pokemon Shuppet into a Banette or any of the ghost type Pokemon from generations I-III such as Gastly and Sableye.....yeah Sableye would be an ideal partner for me since it has no weaknesses.
:t354:TG |
I would either go with Eevee for all the options for evolving it or maybe I could go with Dratini because I could evolve it into a powerful Dragonite and very few trainers have Pokemon with an advantage against it early game.
|
I think Eevee would be the best considering it has 3 evolutions so we don't need any other starters.
|
For any 3rd gen, or 4th or hell even 5th. Definitely Pikachu, even with his bad defense.
"Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites." Karen of the Elite 4 |
Gastly, best ghost pokemon ever.
|
I would have Gastly , Gengar is soooo powerfull !
|
I think I would like to have a kabuto as a starter! It learns some pretty decent moves from the get-go!
|
I would love an Elekid as a starter for some reason, Electabuzz is just a beast.
|
I really like to have Charmender since the beginning of the journey (in order to obtain my own Charizard xD) and i wouldn't change him for nothing. But in term of utility I think that Jinx was the correct choice because off its Ice-Physic types it can take advantage aganist many pokemon
|
Hmm, I guess it could've been Trapinch, Bagon or Dratini. Even though Dratini wasn't from third It would've been cool having Dragon type starters :3

I would of course prefer the usual fire-water-grass combo of starters, but eevee would be nice, considering it can evolve to many diffrent types, 5 (as of 3rd gen). |
I would say a clefairy because clefable is amazing.
|
My starter was Charmander
My starter was Charmander |
I've always thought, when Silver and Gold came out at the time, that they should have changed the type of the starters, not doing all the time Grass/Fire/Water. If i could choose any pokémon, i would go for a Cubone.
|
I would have probably chose Spheal, the only place you can get one is at Shoal Cave which is too late into the game IMO.
|
Ummm.....Pichu, maybe? or Ralts...
|
Leaf Green: Spearow, Nidoran (F), Vulpix, Venonat, Eevee, Goldeen or a baby poké like Magby, Azurill, Cleffa, Tyrogue
Emerald: Wurmple, Taillow or Electrike (or happy with Treecko!) |
Haha, well I would go with Pikachu, Minun or Eevee...I guess...Pikachu. Yeah, Pikachu, cause I want to be like Red :) If I would be a completely different person, I guess Eevee is going to be my choice. But if I'm going to be a ranger, Minun, no doubt about it.
|
I think it would be pretty cool to start with Clefairy. It's always been one of my favorite Pokémon, and if it weren't for some last minute changes, it would have been Ash's starter (Which means you would have had a Clefairy in Yellow Version.) Also, I like the whole thing about Clefable and Gengar.
|
Abra in FR/LG, definitely. RSE's a little more difficult, but in the end I guess I'd go with Swablu.
|
Nidoran or Lileep would probably my ideal starters, but I'm not picky.
|
I'd choose Whismur as my starter, but my favorite starter is Bulbasaur, although I'm technically allergic to grass type because of my grass allergy.
...Dwebbles are nice, but isn't in these gens. Overall I'd like to start with Whismur AND Dwebble though. :) |
Either Pikachu, Ralts or Dratini. Pikachu, because we form an amazing duo together. Ralts for the awesome stats and speed. And Dratini, because Dragonite kicks butt!
|
Mudkip for me, especially given it was my first and only female starter in any main playthrough of a Pokemon game.
|
Eevee or Omanyte. Espeon, Umbreon, Omastar carry me through games hahaha.
|
Even with a wide array to choose from, I think I'd still go with Treecko as a starter....
Or maybe Absol, because I really enjoy using him for, well, anything really. |
I'd go with one of the Regis in all honesty, even though they're legendaries they're not exactly overpowered now when compared to beasts such as Kyogre and Groudon.
Non legendary wise I'd go with either Zangoose or Seviper since they were personal favorites back when I was younger. |
Torchic, Eevee or Kyogre for me. either one would be fine for me
|
Back when FireRed and LeafGreen came out, I wanted Pikachu as my starter with the other three available down the line. Here's hoping Yellow is remade solely in Generation 7.
|
Well I would go for zorua because once it reaches level 60 and is very friendly to you it is strong. I used it against Zekrom in B2 and the first time I used foul play and the second one was always a critical hit for me. I had to keep on redoing it until it wasn't a critical hit. This same thing happened with kyuerm.
I would get zorua. After you eveolve it and it reaches lvl 60 and is friendly to you it is very strong. Even against types that would not be so affective |
Ralts, Seedot or Roselia .
|
I feel safer with a Water and Ground type. Mudkip, Charmander, or Corsola.
|
FireRed-Chamander, you get to learn that exta special move *hint hint* and its evolved form can learn fly.
Leafgreen-Bulbasaur, you learn that move *cough cough* and its generally a good powerhouse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Any starter in those two versions are good of course~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ruby-Alright, lets face it. In these three generations the creaters seemed heavily biased XD poor fire-types. In Ruby Treeko and Mudkip would be good against Team Magma. Torchic (fav) would do well....fine I guess. Sapphire-Again Treeko, would own this game against Team Aqua and Wallace. Torchic would own Steven tho... Emerald- Treeko, again. My baby Torchic wouldnt have a chance! *runs around screaming and crying* Fire would die against Juan and Wallace. Beware! ______________--If you wanna break the rules--_________________________________________________________________ For all games I always use Blaziken, Eevee, Espeon, and Ninetails. So that would be Torchic, Eevee, Eevee, and Vulpix. Blaziken does good against all them crazy bugs, grass, steel types and the general population of pokemon. Espeon is good against almost EVERYTHING and Eevee is a neutral HM-slave :) Ninetails is just cool to have along with you during the journey XP |
I'm fine with the starters in both games, but if I had to pick another pokemon I would pick either Spheal, Bagon, Eevee, or Beldum.
|
Psyduck would be my unofficial starter.
|
Eevee, Bagon, Beldum, Growlithe, or Pikachu would be my ideal unofficial starters
|
I would choose Eevee. I mean think of the...the possibilites!
|
I would easily pick sandshrew, because its evolution is so cool, and before it did evolve it looks quite good to.
|
That'd be Beldum, just because Metagross is pretty brilliant ;p
|
I would pick a Pokémon which would evolve twice, and the first at an early stage. Nevertheless, Pokémon (other than the real starters) like that are impossible to find. Eevee would be the best choice then, except you wouldn't get stones that early, or you would want it to be Espeon or Umbreon (which then requires happiness). But suppose, you managed to hobble up to Celadon with Eevee then xD. Also, other than Eevee, I'd really love Mudkip (it's a generic starter already, how lucky!) to take. Very nice little thing, also helpful 'cause it evolves early (like other starters, except this guy is my fav). Also, an ideal starter would be a one who looks normal, and can cross any terrain (in other words, have legs). He shouldn't be terrifying and should be small and naive like you. Not some hurly burly Rhyhorn, or some spooky Gastly. Not that I hate them, i'm just saying why they aren't starter-friendly.
|
When playing R/S/E or FR/LG, I couldn't choose any differently from the starters we're given; I like them all. Although, given the chance, I guess I wouldn't mind choosing an Eevee as my starter in FR/LG if I could. Not being able to evolve it into Espeon or Umbreon is the only downside unfortunately.
|
Not sure why, but I really like seedot and all of its evolutions, so that would probably be my choice.
|
Probably a Growlithe, to later become beautiful Arcanine
|
I'd probably pick Shroomish or Duskull. Their just cool and have a pretty decent move pool and stats.
|
Shroomish, Lotad or Spheal would have been perfect.
|
I would still consider Torchic the most ideal starter ever and would pick him easily at any opportunity.
|
I would choose Ralts. Although you can obtain it early on in the game, I still think it is a great choice as a starter. Other than that, I would choose Bagon because Salamence > Your life.
|
Snorunt for sure. It takes pretty long before you can get one and an Ice-type as a starter would be special. ^^
|
I would go for Vulpix as you can not get on until late game.
|
Hm, I can see Bagon as one I would want. Although, a Beldum would be just as amazing. Both have a great moveset when they finally evolve and on Metagross... that defense, so amazing.
|
for the 3 gen includes leaf grean, my ideal pokemon will be abra if he had at least one atack, but considering he don't have any attack until lv. 16, then a cool and powerful dratini.
For the RSE a metag will be something cool once he evolved. |
um i would probably want to start with machop or abra(if it had something like confusion to start off with of course XD) in fr/lg and surskit(because its cute) or electrike in r/s/e.
|
In Ruby/Sapphire I always wanted to have Sharpedo as my starter. (And 8 Years later after I found about ROM Hacking I made that dream come true. :3) So, with that said. I would want Carvanha.
For FireRed and LeafGreen... Hm. This is hard. I've never really had a real attachment or must-have for any Pokémon in Kanto. But if I recall, when I was younger, I always wanted to be a Rock-Type trainer like Brock, so I... I would say Onix would be my starter? Sorry for the long-winded response. |
No legionaries! But i want to start with Lugia! ;)
|
Snorunt or Beldum, since they evolutions are so cool, and they have good movepools, besides, an Ice or Steel starter would be great to have. And not to mention that Snorunt can only be obtained late in the game and Beldum only after the E4.
|
Charmander is my baby <3 i could never give him up. I think he would feel bad if i wanted to have a different starter :)
|
I would definitely choose Zangoose as a starter (i guess Seviper would also be a starter) He is just really cool looking, although it can't evolve.
|
I'd definitely go with Kecleon. It's so adorable. <3
|
I want a Pichu that does'nt evolve because Pichu>Everyone
|
As a fire type lover my choice would be either Charmander or Vulpix, but since Vulpix is my favorite, then Vulpix it is.
