If it's the Kanto or Sinnoh games I'll get them from the professor :P

Otherwise, it depends on the Pokemon I want, but it usually ends up being fishing because you typically get the Good Rod before you get the Surf HM. In SS I know I fished for my Staryu and in Sapphire and Emerald, I'm about 95% sure I fished for my Psyduck.

I did surf in Platinum for the Sealeo that I would breed for the Walrein on my primary team, however.

i do both of them, surf and fish
West, on a plane bound west
I see her stretching out below
Land, blessed mother land
The place where I was born

Scars, she’s got her scars
Sometimes it starts to worry me
Cause lose, I don’t want to lose
Sight of who we are

From the mountains high
To the wave-crashed coast
There’s a way to find
Better days I know

It’s been a long hard ride
Got a ways to go
This is still the place
That we all call home

I catch water pokemon from Surfing/Fishing very rarely.
In FR/LG I always pick Squirtle as a starter or evolve Eevee into Vaporeon
In R/S/E I usually pick Mudkip as a starter or get a Lotad
In Platinum I just pick Piplup or get a Buizel

I'm not a big fan of water pokemon so I don't usually look for them. Honestly, I think I usually fish. Think about it, what's the only Pokemon that you encounter while surfing? Those goddam tentacool. Fishing gives you many more choices.

But if I'm really looking for a strong water Pokemon, I usually like to plan my teams ahead of time and would probably choose the water starter of whatever game I'm playing.

It depends on what's required. I usually surf if they can be obtained both ways, though. I'm too lazy to fish. :P

I actually prefer fishing since there are 3 types of 'ratings'. Example: Old rod, good rod ect.
But saying that I also, sometimes; get sick of fising. So I would take the easier option and just surf instead. :cer_smile:

I surf, and when I do fish, it's WHILE surfing. xD
I don't like fishing much, because it get's boring.

Surf all the way. I practically don't fish. It's too long and it's boring if you don't catch anything xD

Surf. I can't stand fishing. Don't know why!

I really only fish when I'm looking for specific Pokemon. I generally just surf.
