So, which Kanto and Hoenn starters did you choose?
On Heart Gold version, I picked Charmander and Torchic.
On Soul Silver version, I picked Bulbasaur and Mudkip.
Any specific reasons why you chose those starters?
The reason why I chose Charmander and Torchic on Heart Gold is because Charizard is the mascot of Red/Fire Red, and Torchic is the starter I use on Ruby Version.
For Soul Silver, Venusaur is the mascot of Green/Leaf Green, and Mudkip is the starter I use on Sapphire Version.
Do you wish you could get a free Sinnoh starter in HG/SS, as well?
Not really a fan of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. So nope.
