Piplup :3 Mostly because I like its evolutions more than the other ones. I've used Mudkip (and Swampert) the most though, and Totodile itself has the best design imo. But Prinplup and Empoleon, I like better than the evolutions of the others.

I'm ruling Mudkip out cause I've never used it and don't overly like it so between Totodile and Piplup... I'm going with...


Totodile :)


As cute as Piplup is, I was a wee bit disappointed with Empoleon and consequently didn't use it the whole way through my game whereas I used Totodile the whole time in Silver, so I have more of an attachment to the Feraligatr line :)

Totodile. In part because of nostalgia - it was my first ever Pokemon, and I liked its design the best from the Johto starters.

Then it's Mudkip, because I also liked the little guy before it became cool. Piplup I like less - I don't mind penguins at all, but how it turned out in the end was a bit underwhelming for myself. And its cuteness didn't quite appeal to me like other Pokemon.

Totodile, because Feraligatr is my second favorite Water-type Pokemon and because he kicks butt in UU/OU with rain support. Also, Mudkip and Piplup (especially Mudkip) are overrated.

Tough question, but I think Mudkip has the design I like the most, I don't care for Piplup much and while Totodile and its evolutions have cool stuff going for them I think Mudkip's look less weird, and the Ground-typing is alright. Although I will give Piplup credit for becoming a Steel-type last stage, which is good.

Out of the 3, I would more than likely use Mudkip the most. Totodile is sort of in between (via it's design), and just really dislike Piplup's design.

They're all adorable, hnng ;o; I think I'm going to go with Mudkip, because it's face is so adorable and its evolutions are amazing and extremely useful in-game and competitively. Not to say the other two aren't, but Mudkip line even more so o/

It's really hard for me, haha ;; Totodile's my favorite Water starter, and I have many fond memories of it and its evos. Plus, it has a really awesome Hidden Ability; the only downside is it's unavailable x_x Mudkip is also pretty awesome and has served me well in RSE. Piplup I don't like until it becomes Empoleon; Empoleon I find pretty badass, plus I love its typing a lot. That being said, I think I'm gonna have to go with the cute water crocodile :3b

Considering how little I was expecting out of Piplup when I first picked it, I was quite pleased with Empoleon and its typing. It swept through 80% of the Elite Four on my first playthrough of Platinum, and it quickly became one of my top 3 favorite starters.

I don't mind Mudkip or Totodile, but neither of them stood out to me quite like Piplup (and later Empoleon) did.

TOTODILE without a doubt. Now if you put Squirtle here I'd be having a hard time choosing but Piplup and Mudkip aren't my favorites even if the 'lil penguin is pretty cute. Nothing compares to Toto. <3

It's got to be Mudkip for me, for sure. It's a Hoenn starter, so I'm a little biased on that (considering that it's one of my all-time favorite regions and whatnot), and it also evolves into Swampert in its final stage--a Pokémon that I absolutely love. It might look a little funky design-wise, which I'm personally not to bothered by, but competitively, it's simply great. It's a wall, and could stall your opponents indefinitely.

My second choice is Piplup. I'm personally not too fond of its evolution, but Piplup itself is amazingly adorable. If Pokémon had existed in real life, I would definitely consider having it as a pet.
