  • There are often a lot of discussions on favorite starters in the fanbase, where people usually mention either the first or final forms. So let's give the mid stages some love! Which are your favorites?

    Prinplup, Braixen, Torracat and Dartrix.

    Piplup will always be my favorite starter even though I hardly ever use water types.

  • Bayleef and Dewott, followed by Torracat. Mid stages are usually my least favourites, but those are great. And Bayleef and Dewott are the only cases in which the mid stage is my favourite form of their line.

  • Ngl, haven't given this a whole lot of thought but if I had to choose a handful I would pick Grovyle, Croconaw, and Frogadier as my favourites.

  • Grovyle and Dartrix are my favorites. I guess that's also because I really love their evolutionary lines in general.

    I like Marshtomp, Dewott, and Drizzile too.

  • Not only is Wartortle my favorite mid-stage Starter, but I currently consider it my favorite Pokémon overall! Quilava is also very cool/cute.

  • Wartortle is easily my #1 <3 happy to see others vote it highly too! also Ivysaur. Not the biggest fan of the Kanto final starter evolutions, but those two mid stages are great.

    Wartortle. Most middle stage starters look a little off to me, but Wartortle is actually alright.

  • there's never been a single middle stage starter that i didn't wanna evolve. Quilava perhaps could be the closest bet to that? but Typhlosion's really grown on me over the years so eh.

  • So difficult to pick one, but I've rocked a Croconaw, Braixen, and Torracat on my in-game teams because I didn't want to evolve them. I also prefer Wartotle's design over Blastoise because of the fluffy tail.
