3rd Gen Which starter did you choose?

I chose water type starters in all of my games. They have a great endurance while maintaining a good offense.

Mudkip and Squirtle were awesome. In my other playthroughs I chose Charmander in LG.

oddly enough i started with pokemon ruby and then worked my way down to red/blue w/e, my first pick was a treecko! I don't know how i got so far with him but he was about level 61 around the 7th gym :3 OP like a boss

Treecko and Squirtle :3 Gotta luv em!

in LG i chose Charmander
In HG/SS i chose Cyndaquil
In Ruby i chose Mudkip and Treecko
In Diamond and Pearl i chose Chimchar and
In Black i chose Oshawott.

I always choose fire, except in Gen II where I sometimes choose water.

The best starters for me are:
FireRed-Leaf Green=Squirtle,Bulbasaur
Crystal-Gold-Silver=Cyndiquil
Ruby-Saphirre=Torchic

In some of them i cant even chose which is better so i put two :D

I agree with Sirius who doesnt like Blaziken

I played through with all 3 but the first one I chose was Torchick and to this day Blaziken is till one of my all time favorite pokemon because of that. I mean, it's a giant, fire breathing, kick-boxing chicken. What's not to love?

Treecko for RSE and I have yet to play FRLG.

I also chose Torchic (Sapphire) and Charmander (FireRed), as they were my favourites. :3

I love all starters but I thought Mudkip looked best in Ruby so went with him.
For Fire Red, there were three of us doing a competion. So naturaly I we went for the three diffrent starters and I got Squrtle. Leaf Green I got Bulbasaur but traded Squrtle and Charmander over pretty quickly.

I had a strong pull to Treecko, more so than from any starter in any other generation. But in my first play through, I let my brain make the decision and picked the competitive battle useful Mudkip. Water ground was hard to pass up.

On my second play through I did use Treecko and I was supremely happy.

I didn't really care for any of them, if I recall, but I usually used Torchic or Treeko. I never understood the likability of Mudkip.

FR: Charmander/Squirtle, I dont like Bulbasaur.
R/S/E: Torchic - 70% of the time, Mudkip and Treeko- 15% of the time for each.

I Bulbasaur (Was convinced that it was hard to catch in the wild >_<)
II Cyndaquil (My pyro side was overactive at this time)
III Mudkip (My first, I thought it looked cool)
IV Turtwig (I thought the other two looked silly
V Tepig (I don't have it yet TBH, but I noticed I had a pattern, grass, fire, water, grass....lets keep it!)

The first few times I played FireRed I chose Charmander, cos you know, they look cool. The first time I played through it as an experienced Pokemon player I chose Bulbasaur. In R/S/E I chose Mudkip, because I leik him.

I always seemed to choose a grass starter, so on Sapphire, Treecko was the one I chose. On Ruby, I chose Mudkip.
