What's the best starters to choose from?
What do you guys think is the best starter to choose from, including the 3 already set sets (excluding D/P's starters): Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle. Cyndaquil, Totodile and Chikorita & Torchic, Treecko and Mudkip.
|
Kanto: Charmander
Johto: Cyndaquil Hoenn: Mudkip IMO are the best to pick but if only one I'd say Mudkip even though my fave poke is Typhlosion. |
Kanto: Squirtle
Johto: Totodile Hoenn: Treecko Treecko may not be the best as far as stats, but I'm the type who prefers to play with what i like instead of whats "best". |
Kanto: Squirtle. In it's final evolution, it gets great Tanking capabilities and good stats. Also a good type.
Johto: Chikorita. Maybe not for ingame but it does an excellent job on defending since it learns the screen moves and has a good stat distribution. Hoenn: Mudkip. Swampert is just awesome. It learns great moves, has stats where it needs it, and a good typing combination. I'd have to say Mudkip is probably the best starter out of all of them. |
Key, I stalled Chikorita's evolution until about level 29 and it's defense is pathetic. So I decided to let it evolve, even though it takes more time to learn those good moves.

This goes in Other Pokemon Games because it's talking about all of them and not just Fire Red or Leaf Green.

Okay, uh... thanks... Aeon...?

Oh. Well I thought you were talking about Chikorita because during my evolution stalling, Chikorita learned a whole lot of screen moves. So yeah. Heh...
|
Kanto: Squirtle
Johto: Tododile Hoenn: Torchic. .... |
Kanto: Squirtle
Johto: Totodile Hoenn: Treecko or Torchic, I can't choose. I don't like Mudkip T_T |
All of you guys like the water starter! I don't.... I don't like water types all too much. I hate what the D/P fire starter is (my fav. type is fire). It's so... not original....*tear*

True... they also can learn the ever so needed Surf. But... I like fire. It's only weaknesses are ground, rock and water... right...? AND CHARIZARD CAN LEARN FLY!

I'd have to say:
Kanto: Bulbasaur. Venusaur has decent Defense and HP and good Sp.Defense, and since I prefer defense over offense, Vensuaur instantly becomes a favourite. That Sleep Powder + Leech Seed combo is pretty sweet and Sludge Bomb and Earthquake really hurt Fire and Grass types that think they can come in and ruin Venusaur's fun. Vensuaur can also learn fun moves like Swords Dance and Synthesis, actually making it pretty versatile when it comes to movesets. Venusaur's good Speed is also nice for outspeeding stuff with Sleep Powder. =D Johto: Cyndaquil. Though I like both Meganium and Feraligatr more, Typhlosion is the most useful of the Johto starters imo. Though Typhlosion's movepool is limited, Flamethrower and Thunderpunch combined with Substitute and Petaya can do many wonderful things. <3 That schmexy base Sp.Attack of 109 combined with almost as schmexy Speed makes this thing a good special sweeper even though Typhlosion would like a bigger special movepool. Hoenn: Mudkip. Do I really need to say why Mudkip is the best? Not only does Swampert take hits like nothing, but it can also dish out alot of damage with Earthquake and Rock Slide, and for certain Pokémon - Ice Beam. Though I'm not fond of Cursepert myself, a Swampert with Curse can destroy whole teams if used right. However, in my opinion, what makes Swampert truly schmexful is its awesome movepool. Swampert can learn many wonderful moves like Mirror Coat, Counter, Roar, Earthquake, Surf/Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Curse and Rest (even though it's a very common move.), making it a very versatile Pokémon, which is lurve. <3 Even though Swampert is doubtlessly the most commonly used starter Pokémon, I'd say Venusaur is my favourite starter both in terms of appearance and how well it prefers in competitive battles. That doesn't stop Swampert from being an awesome Pokémon, though. Quote:

heh Fly and cry rhymes. Fine. But I still like Fire types alot. More then water. xP
|
just thought i'd point out that charizrd and typhlosion have exactly the same stats.

Char only has two weaknesses - water x2 and rock x4 |
2 things.
(1) Archer you double posted, merge those 2 please. (2) Archer is right! Charizard becomes flying so he becomes immune to ground type moves! So only 2 weaknesses that can be overcome if you've got him at a high level with strong attacks like Flamethrower/Fire Blast, Arial Ace/Wing Attack, Blast Burn for good measure and one other attack that you may choose. EDIT: This thread's about to have a second page! ^_^ |
Mudkip would have to be the best starter for me to pick out of all the other generation starters because of the fact that it has a wide range of types of moves it can learn. For Kanto id probably choose charmander and for johto id pick cyndaquil.
~Kipper~ |
Hm... I like your choices Kipper. I think you've got the same choices as me,
Kanto: Charmander Johto: Cyndaquil Hoenn: Mudkip Cool. |
