What’s your all time favorite starter Pokémon?
Is it also the first one you picked?
|
turtwig's mine BECAUSE it was the first one i ever picked. my first ever taste of this franchise's offerings and i loved it to bits. bulbasaur's a close second bcs it reminds me so much of turtwig hehe.
|
The first starter I've ever picked was Totodile. As a kid, I was easily drawn to it because it's blue and a Water type. And its final evolution, Feraligatr, has always been a reliable team member. That's why it's my favourite starter Pokemon of all time.
|
Based on the basic stage alone, I'm inclined to pick Chikorita since it was my original in-game Starter (though I have to admit that its anatomy is pretty weird). Oshawott is also up there, and Mudkip would get my vote for cutest base Starter.
Counting evolutions, Wartortle is my favorite by far! Though I didn't use it in-game until more recent years, it's super nostalgic and has a fantastic aesthetic. Those fuzzy ears... that fluffy tail... that blush... those little fangs... that tough look in its eyes... It's the perfect balance of cool and cute! :D |
Squirtle for me, since he evolves into the awesome Wartortle! Who is in my top 5. But for first stages alone, probably Fennekin, Chikorita, and Scorbunny. For final evos I adore Serperior and the Johto starters. ❤️
|
Blaze-chicken is my all time favorite! Put insane hours into Sapphire and Emerald as a child and nearly always took Blaziken. My first ever starter? Oof, I want to say it was Bulbasaur but that was a long time ago and I was very young.
|
My first starter ever was Cyndaquil.
I don't have an all time favorite starter, my favorites (in Pokédex order) would be: Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Fennekin, Rowlet, Grookey. Out of these, the ones I like the most in their final form are: Torterra, Infernape, and Decidueye. |
Wasn't the first I picked, but Bulbasaur's my all time favourite. I just really enjoy everything about the Pokémon and it's always helped me during the games.
|
My favorite starter Pokemon is Totodile, as it was the first ever starter Pokemon I ever chose-- this was in Pokemon SoulSilver, too!
|
cyndaquil in the anime is so cute and I remember loving it so much. that cute squeaky voice too!!

Squirtle was my first, but I also like Bulbasaur. Mudkip is also pretty great, I wanna say he's definitely a contester for favorite starter.
|
Check my username, it's right there! And yes Piplup was my first starter! I thought it was the cutest of the 3.
|
I CANT READ ANYWAY TORCHIC
|
Piplup is my favorite starter it is also one I've never used because I never played that Generation...lol.
|
7 year old me would have stayed true to Charizard. But big brain me now perfers Infernape, as my 'nape in pokemon diamod was my 2nd best mon (behind JackSparrow, my honchkrow, which nastly plot swept cynthia) .
|
I can't even remember what the first starter I picked was. Treecko I think?
That said I'd say my favorite starter now is probably Mudkip? I really do like Swampert and Mega Swampert and it's always served me well enough. I will say that Infernape and Cat Daddy Incineroar are very close behind though. |
Really like all the starters in general and my favoritism constantly changes. The first one would be Chimchar but that's mostly because that's my first ever starter, and then the favoritism would go to something like this if my memory serve correctly:
Chimchar > Totodile > Grovyle > Chespin > Primarina > Serperior > Oshawott (currently) I think Rowlett and Bulbasaur is stuck in there somewhere, but I can't remember when |
Gah this is a hard question
Tepig definitely but also mudkip turtwig snivy Cyndaquil and oshawott i mean cmon |
My favourite starter is definitely not the first one I picked but it's Inteleon. I know a lot of people aren't a fan of its posture nor skinniness but I just like it because of its smug lizard face and I do like its spy motive that can turn invisible like a chameleon as well as its cape like the draco lizard.
First starter was Eevee in XD if that counts. |
I used all three of the Johto starters in different playthroughs on Gold (don't remember which I picked first), but Treecko is my favorite of all time. Empoleon is my favorite final evolution so that puts Piplup up there too, and I think Oshawott, Chespin, and Rowlet would round out my top 5 in no particular order.
|
I think my all time favorite is the Oshawott line. Love me some otters. This was also the first starter I picked for Unova! The Cyndaquil and Scorbunny lines are close behind too, both of which I also used in my first (or in Cyndaquil's case second) playthroughs of their games.
|
Piplup - thanks to the fact I grew up with DP and loved Dawn and her Piplup :)
|
The first starter that I've ever picked is Chikorita in Crystal, but my favorite starter is Charmander.
|
My first starter was actually squirtle in pokemon blue, if I recall correctly. My favorite though? That is pretty hard... Let me try to whittle it down
Top 5 Starters: Cyndaquil Turtwig Oshawott Chespin Litten I think I am going to have to go with the litten line as my favorite, and the turtwig line as my second favorite, but it is very close. |
I think it's pretty obvious who mine is
|
Choosing between Treecko and Rowlet is hard. Treecko looks cool and looks like it's T-posing. I still don't know why Treecko does this so often, from its official art to its 2D sprites to its menu icons, but it's cool.
https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/2/2c/252Treecko.png/375px-252Treecko.png Rowlet, meanwhile, is an owl. I have a fondness for owls; plus, Rowlet's spherical. What's not to like about it? I really like the other two Hoenn starters as well. |
Litten, closely followed by Torchic and Chimchar.
|
Obviously, mine is Charmander because it was the first and probably the one I picked the most overall so I have many memories with it.
And, even though I barely played through gen 5, I think Snivy and its evolutions have really cool designs. |
I can't really decide on this one! It's a three way tie between Charmander, Mudkip, and Piplup.
|
Only counting base stages, probably Oshawott. Chikorita is a close second though, being my very first Starter.
Counting evos, Wartortle for sure! Not only does it have a cool yet cute aesthetic, but it's also nostalgic. |
Grass: Chikorita
Fire: Fennekin Water: Piplup Litten could've been up there too, but they ruined the final evo so the kitty doesn't go up that high =\ All time... oof. It's really close between Fennekin and Chikorita tbh. Atm I think I'd go with Fennekin Also yes they were the first starter I chose in their respective regions. I started in RBY though so it's obviously not my first starter ever (I think my first in RBY was Squirtle, but I'm not 100% sure lol) |
Whew! I didn't have a clear favourite starter at first. Then Pokémon Legends: Arceus happened.
Now, Cyndaquil is my undisputed favourite. Among the already cute starters, it's pretty much the cutest baby of them all! 💖 I love its constant sleepy face and round little body. Seeing it sleep in Amie, Refresh and Camp melts my heart every time. I'm not entirely sure its evolutions completely miss out on that aspect either. Hisuian Typhlosion in particular is super adorable, with what its floppy ears and dopey face. Litten and Scorbunny come close, but nowadays the entire Cyndaquil line wins out. |
Fire: Fennekin
Water: Piplup Herb: Rowlet Now, for the all time I would choose Fennekin for one reason only: Delphox is Psychic-typed and that's my all-time favorite type... However, Torchic and Snivy fall very close to this list. Torchic was my first pokemon, and I love the design of Snivy and its evolutionary line. |
If I’m gonna be honest, Popplio
I find Primarina so gorgeous and beautiful, when I found out it was one of the most hated starters, it made me love it even more, because it’s so cute that I couldn’t understand why it was hated, I mean look at it! It’s a seal/sea lion clown that makes bubbles! How could you hate it? |
My favorite is Bulbasaur and no, it wasn't my first starter ever. It was my 4th starter ever picked if I remember correctly.
As I mentioned in some of my previous comments, I only found out about the Pokemon games late in the Gen 4 era. My first game was some random ROM hack with Sinnoh starters where my first ever starter was a Turtwig. A little later I finally got the DS and Soul Silver and Black so my next two starters were Totodile and Oshawott. Then finally I downloaded a Fire Red ROM and an emulator and I picked Bulbasaur as my 4th starter ever. Still love the first three starters I picked but Bulbasaur is easily my favorite, the closest one to Bulbasaur is Totodile since it's actually my second favorite starter ever. |
Cyndaquil! I just love how this line will shoot flames out of the back when it's timid as a Cyndaquil, when it's surprised as a Quilava, and when it's battle ready as a Typhlosion. Just so much personality in a starter Pokemon design. My first starter was Squirtle, which is still in my top 5. The anime does a great job on giving Ash's Squirtle some backstory/personality, but everyyy Cyndaquil is just an adorable button. I was so happy to use one again in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
