  • There have been a lot of starter Pokemon over the years. Does anyone have a favorite out of them all (not including Galar)? Mine is Mudkip. Please don't make this stat-based.

  • Picking one favourite from them is hard... I think I would put Chikorita, Tepig, Cyndaquil, Mudkip and Rowlet as my TOP 5 for first seven gens, in no particular order.

    Picking one out of three is always a test. Picking one out of the whole bunch is interesting. Some I definitely love more than others, but my pick would easily be Bulbasaur.
    i mean, let's be honest he's officially number one.

  • For Gen I, all three of them. They're all iconic in their own ways, so I couldn't ever pick a favorite. Gen II, definitely Chikorita. It's just cute. Treecko is my fave Pokemon of all time, so that's obviously my gen III favorite. For Gen IV, I like Chimchar best, but Turtwig is cool, too. Oshawott is my fave from Gen V. But, I am pretty disappointed by its final evolution. I guess if I had to pick a fave from among the Gen VI starters, it'd have to be Fennekin? But I don't care for Delphox much. For Gen VII, I like both Litten and Rowlet, really.

    But those are all my faves from the previous gens.

    Ivysaur is my favourite, but I like all of the starters from Kanto and Johto.

    Piplup def is my favorite. It's v cute and Empoleon is a cool final form as well. Going through the other regions it's Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Tepig, Fennekin and Popplio.

    If I had to pick one which will be odd because I'm not a water type starter but my absolute favorite is Piplup. The other odd thing about that is my favorite starter is from the Gen I never played...lol. For Fire would be Litten and Grass would be Rowlet.
