  • We may shuffle around and try all kinds of different starters as we revisit a region. Do you remember which pokemon you reached for the very first time?

    Me?

    Hoenn= Treecko (That was hard, I so love all of em!)
    Sinnoh= Turtwig
    Unova= Snivy
    Kalos= Froakie (Really tough decision too)

    Kanto : Charmander but I was a kid and didn't finish, Squirtle (Finished the game)
    Johto : Totodile (then I did a nuzlocke with Cyndaquil)
    Hoenn : Treeko (did a nuzlocke with Torchic)
    Sinnoh : Chimchar (nuzlocke with Turtwig)
    Unova : Oshawott
    Kalos : Haven't played it but would choose Froakie

    Note: I did nuzlockes after playing through the games. I played through Silver with Totodile, then Cyndaquil, Then SoulSilver with Totodile then nuzlocke with Cyndaquil.(I know I've played Johto too many times)

    We all do stuff like that on our first game teehee. In yellow I didn't know you could change the order of your party. I thought Pikachu had to always be first so mine participated in every single battle in the game. I never figured it out. Lol!

    Hoenn: Torchic
    Sinnoh: Chimchar
    Unova: Tepig
    Kalos: Fennekin
    Alola: Litten

    I always go with the Fire starter on my first playthrough of a Pokemon game. And with the exception of Unova (Oshawott's my favorite of the 3, but Tepig is still a solid #2), the Fire starter is always my favorite starter. I wonder if gen 8 will change this.
