  • Cyndaquil definately! Tis my favourite. Chikorita is quite bland and totodile just isn't my style.

    For Gen I & II i picked the fire type as these are harder to find in the wild. By gen III I decided I would just pick the ones I liked rather that going for a set of pokemon that would have no type disadvantages overall.

    Gen I & FR/LG : Charmander
    Gen II & HG/SS: Cyndiquill
    Gen III: Treecko
    Gen IV: Turtwig

  • When I was younger I would have picked Chikorita, but now it's Totodile without a doubt, although I'm not really a fan of its evolutions. My favorite one of them fully-evolved is Meganium.

    Totodile, as it's the starter I used in Gold (and Crystal). Cyndaquil is a close second, though. Chikorita's okay, but I don't like it as much as i like the other two.

  • Well like majority, Cyndaquil.
    I'm not sure why but I just think it looks cool and cute and when it evolves Typhlosion is really strong!

  • Most say Cyndaquil's the best choice, and I like it alot.

    If it matters, I guess I could just point out my four starter favs:
    (the number means the generation)
    1. Charmander
    2. Cyndaquil
    3. Mudkip
    4. Turtwig
    Wow, that was easier than I thought. I have no idea why I wrote all of them though.

  • Cyndaquill , well, but thats because in every pokemon game i start with the fire starter, offtopic- started fire in D/P/P too and that was my biggest pokemon disappointment ever :(

  • Ah....

    Come on! When I saw this forum I hoped you would include color games, because squirtle is my all time favorite starter! (Blastoise actually) Although if you are only doing II Generation, then it would be Cyndaquill.

  • To tell the truth, the earliest PKMN Game I've ever played is Ruby...
    So I've never had to choose from the 2nd Gen starters! (Shocking, 'eh?)
    But I will be choosing soon... (HG/SS)

  • I'd have to say Meganium. That thing DESTROYED in pkmn Silver for me. Can't wait to choose it again when the remakes come out.

    Being a loyal fire fan, I'd have to go with Cyndaquil. I've never gone wrong with fire, and I always mono with it. :D Not to mention Typhlosion is complete and utter decimation contained in a red and white ball.
