Favorite Final Evolution Fire Starter
It was bothering me that there were voting threads only for the Grass and Water starters, so I'll create the poll mahself :U
Beginning-Middle evolutions don't count. Which final evo is your favorite? |
I'm going with Typhlosion - none of the other fire starters even catch my attention or look exciting for me. Cyndaquil/Quilava/Typhlosion is the only fire type I have used before, in my Soul Silver game.
Just for fun, if I were to rank them in order of my favorites: 1 - Typholosion 2 - Emboar 3 - Infernape 4 - Charizard 5 - Blaziken |
I gotta go with the ever-so-classic Charizard. It really is almost perfect. Typhlosion is also great, I just happen to prefer dragons to... wolverines? I appreciate that Nintendo challenged itself by tying to make a chicken into something epic (and they kinda did) but I'm not that big a fan of Blaziken. I hate monkeys so therefore I hate Infernape. And Emboar is too ugly for me, but I love the concept behind it.
|
Enough with Charizard.
Typhlosion is dependable as ever. - that's my opinion, I kindly don't accept yours. |
I voted Infernape, mainly due to being a mixed attacker and the fact he's a monkey on fire! And my Chinese Zodiac sign is the monkey so no wonder I often picked Chimchar on most of my playthroughs of Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.
|
For some reason I've never cared for the Fire-type starters, other than Charizard. Even then, I don't like Charizard as much as I did when I was younger, but I really feel it's the one I dislike the least out of this list.
In fact, if I were to rate them in order, it would probably go chronologically, with Charizard in first and Emboar in last. |
the only one I like is Blazekin as it is the first and best fire/fighting starter.
|
I have to go with Charizard since I did a pretty strong Solo run with him when I was younger. Typhlosion is pretty cool, but I always used Feraligatr. Except for in Pokemon Colleseum. Blaziken would definitely be my second choice. He carried me through Emerald until the end. Infernape I used once and had troubles with him. Empoleon was more my style. And I haven't played generations past that, really.
|
I've never really liked Fire Starters.
I never got to play with Charizard (started off with Gen. 3 as a kid), I absolutely hated Blaziken's design, I was keen on Infernape but I found him to be too overrated and overused, and Emboar was just... bad. The only one I think deserves recognition is Typhlosion, mainly becuase of two things. First, I absolutely loved Cyndaquil and Quilava, and second, he was the only sole-fire type of the starters, so he had this kind of "rebel" feel. |
I really don't care about Fire starters, but Typhlosion..
Mainly because of these reasons:
so that's much like it. FULL FORCE TYPHLOSION!!!^^ |
I still have not voted,
both Blaziken and Infernape's position tied in mind... http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1427/11035794/19606271/407457762.jpgOh! I couldn't make up my mind!http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1427/11035794/19606271/407457760.jpg Though I can at least give my opinions, regarding all Fire-type starters. I love all starters, weak or strong. Because they are all starter, they represent their respective regions they debuted in.
That reminds me this, everyone must seen this already. But the artist just depicted what was in my mind, when Gen VI was officially announced. http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1427/11035794/19606271/407457841.jpg image credit: [email protected] image edited due to inappropriate word. |
I actually like them all. Fire starters were always my favorites, and I also really like the fighting/fire combo. It's been overdone, certainly, but Blaziken was awesome in the game (plus it looks cool) and Infernape was even better imo. Emboar has a great design, imo. Charizard and Typhlosion are a bit less impressive, but Charizard will always be awesome in my eyes and Typhlosion was one of the best pokémon to have in-game in Johto, so I like them too.
Maybe Infernape if I had to choose, just because of its design and typing. And because of Monferno. ALSO PINK SHINY. http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/392.gif http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/392.gif Though Emboar's shiny is really the best. http://sprites.pokecheck.org/s/500.gif |
For me, it has to be Charizard. I was truly amazed when I've first seen this Pokémon. I used to think that it was a legendary Pokémon of some sorts. Typhlosion has gotta be my second favorite. I always used to have this Pokémon on my team in Pokémon Silver. Blaziken would be the third, because it's got an awesome look.
|
Because Charizard has some decent moves as well as my favorite typing. So I vote for it
|
Charizard happens to be my favourite. I find it's Dragon like appearance and it's typing interesting. It really owns in FireRed version!
Typhlosion is a close second, it's an amazing starter Pokemon, but Charizard will always be number one in my view. |
Blaziken is probably my favourite. It's the original Fire/Fighting Pokémon, and is one of the most powerful starters in battle and has a great design - not too simple yet complex enough to be a true threat on the battlefield.
Emboar is the worst though; It's a cheap rip-off of a cheap rip-off. It's also got a clunky design and is irritatingly slow. |
The poll results are really interesting, it seems they've been less popular as each generation progresses - poor Emboar! Will this trend follow for Fennekin I wonder?
My favourite's Infernape. It's a crazy badass ape warrior with fire for hair and evolves from the darn cutest Pokémon alive. I use Infernape a lot in competitive battling and although he may not be as cute as Typhlosion or as strong as Blaziken, he's by far the coolest of the lot and he's the most fun to use. Certainly my favourite! |
Yeah, you're right, but it also roughly seems to follow the popularity of the beings themselves... people go gaga for dragons, they tend to like wolverines or at least mammals that have that sort of head/body shape, Blaziken is a ninja but it's still a rooster, Infernape is a... well, ape, and it seems that people either love or hate them. And pigs are just generally unpopular animals. Of course, like I said, this is really broad and kind of spotty, but it's just an observation. Based on this, I'd say Fennekin is going to be a very popular little fox!
EDIT: Of course, nostalgia plays a big part! But I genuinely think that people would still find Charizard/Typhlosion more appealing than Emboar/Infernape if they had swapped generations. But that's just what I think. |
My vote went to Blaziken without hesitation. Blaziken is the final evolution of my favorite starter of all time. It is the original Fire/Fighting starter and the best. Blaziken has amazing speed and power with a great DW ability, Speed Boost. Overall this is just an amazing Pokemon that will always be one of my favorites.

Emboar can also use a mixed attacking set in RU. I choose Infernape because Blaziken is Uber and therefore sucks, plus Infernape looks cooler. Charizard and Typloshion are just plain overrated, and Emboar is ok but I don't like it as much as Infernape. |
Blaziken easily. I've never abused a starter so much before in any game. For me it's literally the perfect design, concept, and typing for a starter. It ends up being so versatile and usable throughout the whole game and with that said in any game you play it in.
It just really makes me sad that last two starts have been the same typing. They took a good thing and ruined it wahhh |
Blaziken is my favorite as it's really cool to use. Despite the fact that it's not a part Flying-type it's still a bird, and I have a passion for birds, so yeah.
|
Used to be Charizard, but then Stealth Rock happened. Now if I ever use a fire starter it's either Blaziken or Infernape.
|
Typhlosion! For some reason I've never liked Blaziken as much as many others do (I do like him though!) as well as the other Fire Staters. I suppose Typhlosion just has a special place in my heart or something.
|
I liked Blaziken back in the RSE days, but not so much anymore. The Fire/Fighting thing just doesn't do it for me. Typhlosion is the only real fire type in here, although that's not entirely why I pick it.
