The 9 Starting Pokemon

[Dragon Man]

So if you were playing a made up game where you could choose one of the 9 starters (Charamander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Treecko or Mudkip)
Lets just say that the 1st gym leader was rock/ground, the 2nd grass/poison, the 3rd bug, the 4th fire, the 5th psychic, the 6th steel, the 7th dark and the 8th dragon.
The Elite Four would be: The 1st person dark, the 2nd water/ice, the 3rd fighting, the 4th ghost and the champion: 1 flying, 1 fire, 1 grass/poison, 1 water/ice, 1 steel/rock and 1 dragon
What would you choose?

I will always pick Charmander, he is my fav pokemon :)

 

[Igglybuddy]

I'd pick Torchic. Its (eventual) Fire/Fighting combo would be effective against the majority of the gyms and some of the elite. :)

 

[Timbjerr]

I'd choose Treecko cuz it passes the old standard of being good against the first gym leader...and it's whole evolution line's high speed and dragonic abilities could really help out later in the game...

For me its a toss up between Treecko and Charmander! i love both of them...i cant decide!!! AAAAHHHH!!! *goes insane*

I'm already insane. *twitches*

Anyway? I'd pick Charmander. Regardless of the initial type disadvantage, I'd almost certianly be able to find somehting with an advantage. Also, its speed is an excellent advantage.

I picked Cyndaquil in crystal.
Then I borrowed blue from some1 and picked Squirtle.

 

[shep]

Hard to pick between the three waters...but I dont really like mudkips evolved forms very much....so it would either be Squirtle or Totodile, prolly totodile...

 

[Iveechan]

Definately Torchic, because I love fighting types, and Blaziken is so cute!

 

[.quiksilver]

I picked bulbasaur. He would have an advantage in the first couple of gyms. Then once I got to fire I would prolly have some other pokemon to use insted.

 

[Glalie]

I would definately choose Treecko.
Reasons:
1. Whole evo line has high speed.
2. Good against the 1st gym.
3. Learns good moves.

I would have to say... Bulbasaur or Chikorita. Although grass types aren't my favourite, I have a tendency to pick them for starters as they are strong and easy to train. I also like both of these Pok?mon. Maybe Chikorita, as its evolutions are cuter XD.

 

[Frostweaver]

Personally, I believe that all of the starter's potential are the same (if we exclude the super nerf for the grass types in terms of elemental advantages...), so I'll pick on appearance then.

I'll pick Chikorita... Chikorita is such a cutie! ^_^;;

Torchic is really adorable too... but it's evolution line doesn't really impresses me that much in terms of appearance. So... Chikorita! ^_^

 

[Celebi]

I will pick Chikorita. She is so cute ^_^ Torchic is great too. Its my fav, fire pokemon. Awww...which I should pick *confused*

Vote for green leaf- Chiko!

 

[shiny_jiggly]

I will pick Chikorita. She is so cute ^_^ Torchic is great too. Its my fav, fire pokemon. Awww...which I should pick *confused*

Vote for green leaf- Chiko!

Same case for me. Chikorita looks cuter. I pick her over Torchic from the looks of her evolutions.

 

[mewthree w/armor]

I'd go with Squirtle, the first ever Pokemon I chose as a starter.

 

[ChaoX]

it would be either Charmander or Torchic. I never really liked my Treecko that much, but hey i havnt played with him that much

 

[Arore]

Mudkip, I suppose. I have grown very fond of Swampert and its excellent advantages against Electricity.

 

[latios tamer]

torchic all the way man cause he evolves into blazikenofcoars he's also a cuteypie. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

 

[Sapphire Titan]

Squirtle. I chose it even before reading the leaders because I love water types.
