3rd Gen Which starter did you choose?

[PiPVoda]

Mudkip, of course. the ohters are okay, but I found that swampert was probably the best of the final evos. Never had any problems beating any trainer with it.

 

[Pika-power]

Charmander in leafGreen, Squirtle in firered, and Mudkip in ruby.

 

[TrilbyMenetti]

I started with Mudkip in Sapphire, because I loved the look of it and Charmander in FireRed, which looking back was odd, considering I started off with Bulbasaur in Red.

 

[SonicTH]

Bulbasaur in LeafGreen (he is one of my fav Pokemon) and Torchic in Sapphire.

 

[Heart Gold]

In Emerald I chose Treecko and in Firered I chose Charmander.

 

[レイジングブラスト]

-In Leaf Green I picked Charmander
-In Sapphire I picked Mudkip
-In Ruby I picked Treeko
-And in Emerald I picked Treeko again

 

[Raba]

Most of the time, in Pokemon games, I usually pick the starter that I felt like picking when I saw the episodes. Like in R/S/E I watched a few of the episodes and decided on Treecko because of how cool he looked/the design.
Also he had a tough guy look with his toothpick/stick.

 

[Syvelocin]

FireRed, chose Bulbasaur
My first playthrough of Sapphire, Torchic.
I now always choose Mudkip on Emerald. He's just too adorable.

 

[HinaBaby]

I always choose the grass types, aren't they somewhat epic?

 

[moraq06]

squirtle and mudkip
my favorite! XD

 

[Sully]

I believe the first time I played through RSE I chose Mudkip (I love Swampert).
And the first time I played through FRLG I chose Charmander. (:
​

 

[Cheyron]

I chose a different one each time I played.

Well, that's until I discovered you could begin a game, trade it via cable and when you have the last one, trade the other two back.

Such an genius idea. Haha.

 

[Superjub]

Torchic and Charmander too.

For odd numbered gens up to now, I've always ended up choosing Fire types. :'D I'm a little sad I'll be breaking said tradition for Gen 5 but oh well. The fire type was the only starter I liked in RSE and I love all the starters in FRLG but decided I like Charmander the most. ♥

The same for me. ^^ The only time I choose the other starters is to trade to my main game (usually Emerald), but other than that, I always choose Torchic. Blaziken is awesome, and one of my favourite Pokemon. ^^ Combusken is meh, but I only have it for a small amount of time before it evolves into Blaziken. :P

For Kanto Pokemon, I also pick Charmander. I've always liked Charizard ever since I played Red/Blue/Yellow. Plus, Charmander looks cute and Charmeleon looks alright. :)

 

[Unknown#]

I actually chose Mudkip in Emerald, if only because Swampert is my favorite pokemon from Gen. 3. (Though a friend of mine did trade me a Treeko)

As for Leafgreen, I chose the same Pokemon I normally choose whenever I play Gen. 1, Charmander.

 

[gregory_turner420]

every avd gen game i do the same. mudkip and bulbasaur

 

[solarowl]

LeafGreen, I started with Squirtle.
FireRed, I started with Charmander.
Sapphire, Torchic.
Ruby, Treecko.
Emerald, Mudkip.

 

[DavidBarnes]

I always pick Fire types to be 100% honest.
But Hoenn specificlly, due to the fact that I hate Mudkip. c:

 

[Riaxik]

I remember when I first started Ruby, it was Treecko. As far as I can remember back to FR/LG, I think it was Charmander or Squirtle.

 

[Revolver Oshawott]

FR - Squirtle
LG - Bulbasaur
Sapphire - Mudkip
Ruby - Treecko
Emerald - Treecko
SS - Totodile
Black - Snivy
White - Oshawott

 

[Hikamaru]

I played Ruby and chose Mudkip and she happened to be a GIRL!

Why Mudkip?
Torchic is weak against the first Gym and Treecko just doesn't look like the best...
