Hello people. In this thread post all of the starters from each rpg game you've played and why you chose it.

Mine are:
Blue-Squirtle (I thought I had to choose the starter on the box LOL)
Gold-Cyndaquil ( I wanted to start with a fire type)
Ruby-Treecko ( I wanted to sample the grass type for a change)
Emerald-Torchic (This is when I liked the fire type so I picked it again)
Diamond-Turtwig ( He looked so cute and Torterra looked awesome)
Platinum-Turtwig ( Because I loved turtwig from Diamond)

As far as Red and Blue go, i've chosen them all at some stage. But the first I chose was Bulbasaur because the official guide told me to haha. I then re-wrote that game save and chose Squirtle because he's one of my fave starters from any generation.

In Silver I first chose Chikorita and again I wrote over that save and decided to go with Totodile. I chose Chikorita because I foolishly thought that because Grass was a good starter choice in Red and Blue, it'd be the same in Gold and Silver. Can't remember why I chose Totodile in honesty but i've still got that same game going on Silver atm, Feraligatr is in my team proper and i've recently hit 300 hours :D

Red-Bulbasaur. That was because of the first two gym leaders.
Silver-Cyndaquil. I liked how it looked.
Ruby-Treecko. My sister decided on Mudkip so I decided on Treecko.
Pearl-Piplup because I liked Empoleon.
Platinum-Turtwig. I already decided on Piplup and since I was going to port it over I decided to go with a different starter.

Pokemon team: Level 65 Empoleon, Level 65 Staraptor, Level 65 Luxray, Level 65 Torterra, Level 65 Porygon2, Level 65 Tauros. Alternate Pokemon: Level 43 Rapidash, Level 34 Machamp, Level 34 Alakazam, Level 57 Palkia, Level 58 Groudon, Level 56 Uxie

Let's see...

Yellow - Pikachu, who else? But out of the starters that I was given in the game, I chose Charmander.
Silver - Cyndaquil, 'cause I thought he was cute
Sapphire - Torchic, because I luffs teh chickens.
LeafGreen - Charmander, since I'm not a fan of Squirtle or Bulbasaur. (I'm starting to notice a pattern of my choice of starter...)
Pearl - Piplup! Because she looks so huggable! And for once I didn't like a fire starter.
