    Kanto: Charmander - Just because he is my absolute favorite starter.

    Johto: Totodile - My first starter.

    Hoenn: Mudkip - Mainly because Swampert is a boss, i mean c'mon ground/water?

    Sinnoh: Chimchar - I've won a lot of competitive's from him.

    Unova: Tepig - When i played through b/w he was pretty op.

  • Well here is my choises

    Kanto: Bulbasaur
    Johto: Totodile
    Hoen: Torchic! It just stole my heart with it's other forms.
    Sinnoh: Piplup
    Unova: Tepig. First, I though that Tepig sucks, but when I was kind of forced to take Tepig, I changed my mind with experience :). Tepig can learn Rollout. <3

  • Kanto: Blastiose
    Johto: Typhlosion (Awesomesauce 1)
    Hoenn: Blaziken
    Sinnoh: Empoleon (Awesomesauce 2)
    Unova: Samurott

    Also, in XD Gale of Darkness I evolve my Eevee into Jolteon every time. (Awesomesauce 3)

    For the non "Awesomesauce" Pokemon, they ended up being the best out of what was available for their respective games.

    jhoto: cyndaquil because he's so cute and he evolves into a fire badass thingi
    hoen: treeko is nice but everyone loves mudkipz XD ( including me ) and swampert looks so nice and he's so strong
    sinnoh: all of them are nice ( best starters of all time for me ) but even though turtwing is a tortoise, penguins>over turtles and tortoises, so piplup XD besides my favorite type is steel and my favorite animal is penguins so empoleon is the best starter of all time for me :D

  • Kanto: Definitely Charmander. Sure, he has a disadvantage in the early gyms, but you get a fire/flying type out of it who can use Dragon type moves.

    Johto: Totodile. Since it's water-type, you can teach it ice-type moves, which helps late in GSC

    Hoenn: Torchic. Mudkip's got a double weakness to grass and I never liked Treecko.

    Sinnoh: I have to say Turtwig. His evo line is sturdy and strong, the grass/ground combo eliminates the threat of water types, and because the other two are overused.

    Never played Black or White though, so I can't say there.

  • Kanto Bulbasaur
    Johto Totodile
    Hoenn Mudkip
    Sinnoh Turtwig
    Unova Oshawott

    I believe these Pokemon make it the easiest to progress throughout their respective regions.
    I have only ever used Turtwig from this list.

  • Kanto -

    It's the most useful starter especially in the beginning against Brock and Misty.

    Johto -

    I only chose Cyndaquil because it was my first ever Pokèmon and because Typhlosion has the coolest design from almost all the starters.

    Hoenn -
    emesprani252.gif

    Sceptile is one of my favorite Pokèmon's because it's useful against most gym leaders. I also like it because of the anime probably one of Ash's best Pokèmon's. It killed Darkrai with leaf blade.

    Sinnoh -

    I think Turtwig was underrated and in my opinion Torterra was better then Infernape and Empoleon and not a lot of people started off with Turtwig. I'm using Turtwig in my current playthrough of Platinum (Now Torterra) and the gym leaders were way easier this time around using Turtwig. I beat Roark, Wake, Volkner and Byrom easily.

    Unova -

    The only reason I picked this is because it was easy to use against Ghetsis and his Hydreigon because I just killed it with one ice beam LOL.

  • This is only an opinion cos no starter is the best of them all it's the way you use them and Pokemon you have, etc. But this is my opinion on every gen.

    Kanto: Charmander, I gave it to Charmander for it's high attack and speed making Charizard a physical attack sweeper.

    Johto: Cyndaquil, because of it's high sp. atk and fast speed making Typhlosion a powerhouse.

    Hoenn: Mudkip, I chose Mudkip cos of it's 2 type. It's Water/Ground so has lots more advantages on Pokemon other Water types don't have.

    Sinnoh: I gotta give this one to Turtwig. When it's fully evolved it has a super high physical attack and defense but also an little above average sp. atk and sp. def. Making it able to inflict lot's of damage but take hit's at the same time.

    I haven't played B/W so I can't state an opinion but if I could choose one of the starters it would either be Snivy or Oshawott.

    For me...it's actually based on favoritism.

    Kanto: Charmander. Charizard is just super-cool and looks powerful. (But it's the exact opposite in competitive battling.)

    Johto: Totodile. Not sure, but I seem to like the usage of Water-types.

    Hoenn: Treecko. I like it. And Sceptile is the fastest Grass-type starter.

    Sinnoh: Piplup. Well, Empoleon's Water-Steel. In truth, because of it...it works well for facing Cynthia's Garchomp (she does have it, right?). It can wall its Dragon attacks and hit back with neutral STAB Water-type attacks. And I said it before, I kinda like to use Water-type starters. Especially if I have no idea of what to use.

    Unova: Samurott. All in favor of Water-type starters again...And that's it.

  • Kanto: Bulbasaur - Mainly cos it's helpful against the early gyms.

    Johto: Cyndaquil - Probably cos most Trainers you encounter have weaknesses to Fire.

    Hoenn: Mudkip - It has good stats and its evos are a big help in the third gym.

    Sinnoh: Chimchar - It has the best offenses of the three and it learns good attacks.

    Unova: Oshawott - It's easier to train than the other two and it can run both physical and special sets effectively due to balanced offense stats.
