    The Edit button is located just to the left of the Quote Button (you can only see it in posts which were posted by YOU). Use that to Edit your posts. Also, for queries it'd be better if you ask in the Feedback & Support Section, instead of threads. Its located here:- "https://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4". :)

    Coming back to Sun & Moon Starters, I think some more details about Sun & Moon were supposed to be released on April 15th, including info on the Starters. Well its 17th today, so does anyone know of any details yet?

    Pika Pika :chu:

    Oh okay, will keep that in mind next time & thnx for the help :)

    I'm also eagerly awaiting the release of Sun & Moon.

    This time, I'm doing only the first stage.

    22. Chikorita
    Again, it's a little too boring a starter. Cute though.
    21. Treecko
    This thing has a TERRIBLE sprite in the Gen III games.
    20. Chimchar
    Has Reckless, but that's about it.
    19. Turtwig
    Well, it's not so interesting...
    18. Cyndaquil
    Boooring.
    17. Totodile
    Bah.
    16. Charmander
    I'm not so fond of it.
    15. Squirtle
    Nice role in the anime, but not anything too special.
    14. Tepig
    I simply regret using this as my starter for B/W. Sure, it's cute, but I find it uninteresting.
    This one is meh.
    13. Oshawott
    Adorable but basically just another simple starter.
    12. Fennekin
    Terrible ability, but really cute.
    11. Piplup
    NOOT NOOT
    10. Mudkip
    I herd yu liek em
    9. Bulbasaur
    Because BULBASAUR.
    8. Popplio
    It's a graceful seal that does lots of fun bubble stuff. Not as appealing in design compared to the other SM starters, though.
    6-7. Torchic and Froakie
    Speed Boost. It's also a connotational hot chick.
    Protean. You need Protean for a healthy body.
    5. Pikachu
    Both of its designs are cute. Also it's cool. Slightly overrated though.
    3.-4. Chespin and Snivy
    Bulletproof and Contrary are great abilities.
    2. Rowlet
    Look into its eyes.
    1. Litten
    It's adorable, it's a cat, it spits fireballs instead of hairballs, and it has OIL COVERING ITS FUR.

    Made an update to my original list, with the Alola starters bolded. Aside from dropping Froakie down the list a little bit, everything else remains unchanged.

    1. Treecko
    2. Squirtle
    3. Oshawott
    4. Piplup
    5. Chespin
    6. Snivy
    7. Charmander
    8. Rowlet
    9. Pikachu
    10. Bulbasaur
    11. Litten
    12. Totodile
    13. Froakie
    14. Mudkip
    15. Cyndaquil
    16. Chikorita
    17. Fennekin
    18. Torchic
    19. Popplio
    20. Tepig
    21. Chimchar
    22. Turtwig
    It's hard for me to accurately rank the new starters, since all we really know about them are their designs, and primary typings. Knowing their evolutions would be nice as well, since that's what helped a few Pokemon like Pipup and Snivy place high on my list. So while I've ranked Popplio at 19 right now, it's the one I could see rise up the most once we find out more details about the line.

    I did my list based on the Pokemon overall, not just the initial forms. As such, I left out the Alola starters. I'll comment at the end.


    1. Froakie
    2. Totodile
    3. Squirtle
    4. Piplup
    5. Bulbasaur
    6. Cyndaquil
    7. Charmander
    8. Chimchar
    9. Treecko
    10. Fennekin
    11. Chikorita
    12. Torchic
    13. Turtwig
    14. Chespin
    15. Mudkip
    16. Oshawott
    17. Snivy
    18. Tepig
    Unsurprisingly, with Water and Dark being my favorite types, four of the six Water starters are in my top five and Froakie's my #1. 10-15 were hard to rank because I like them all about the same and are mostly interchangeable. I'm still going back and forth about whether I should put Mudkip further up the list.


    Really, the Unova starters are the only ones I actually dislike. I do feel kind of bad, though, for putting Tepig in last place (it's so cute!), but Pignite and Emboar are just the worst.


    As for the Alola starters, my tentative ranking is: Litten, Rowlet, Popplio. That could easily change, though. Aside from the clown-like aspects of Popplio, I think all three are off to a good start and I'm optimistic about their evolutions.

    Alrite imma do a new list. This time including new guys, and also some that I unintentionally left out at first.
    However I decided to also exclude Snivy, since of all of them he's the only one I've never used. Also, least fav=/=don't like.

    1. Totodile (It and it's line are pretty good in general, first starter I brought to league.)
    2. Froakie (Everytime I use this it's always a kickass.)
    3. Piplup (I like ge4 starters I like water starters so I like this starter)
    4. Mudkip (Decent when I had it in JBGD and AS)
    5. Popplio
    6. Turtwig
    7. Chespin
    8. Treecko
    9. Chimchar
    10. Rowlet
    11. Torchic
    12. Litten
    13. Charmander
    14. Bulbasaur
    15. Cyndaquil
    16. Tepig
    17. Oshawott
    18. Chikorita
    19. Squirtle
    20. Fennekin

    You can tell I have grown on Cyndaquil a bit, mostly due to the fact I haven't been on the forums for a while. I've been considering doing a nuzrun with it being the starter so I can see why it's so popular on this site, and since my SS run has been a boring ride i'm considering dicthing it. And Water is still my first choice. My preference for the gens in terms of starters goes like this: 4>3>6>2>1>5.

    If I were you, I'd consider using Squirtle in a future nuzrun. Maybe it'll grow on you too.

    I don't really consider Pikachu a "legitimate" starter despite Pokémon Yellow, because he doesn't really fit that position from a stereotypical perspective (not one of the three starter types; second-stage Pokémon; no choice involved), but I always hated that he wouldn't let me feed him Thunder Stones. :(

    Here's mine but a lot of these Pokemon just haven't grown on me and I'm judging the Alola starters based on what we have so far (which is not a lot) so they might change when Sun and Moon come out.

    3. Rowlet
    4. Pikachu
    5. Squirtle
    6. Totodile
