4th Gen Who do you is the best starter pokemon

Who is the best starter

I'd have to say Chikorita.
Mostly for Bayleef. :D
 
I prefer using Totodile over the other two. My starter choice has been Grass for every game except G/S/C.

Also, I have to say Chikorita is my 2nd choice.

I prefer Totodile because it have a good attack and defense and that stats are very useful at the begining of the game , so it is the best Sarter (for the begining of the game).

Cindaquil is fast but only that (it hasn't a lot of useful moves)

Chikorita is a good choice but I don't like this sort of defensive pokemon and it is because I chose totodile.
 
Ooh, there are a lot of Typhlosion fans here... I say Meganium because it's adorable. ^^; It's also pretty handy in most situations (particularly in caves and while Surfing, which is when teams tend to be worn down the most, in my experience) and trumps the first few Gyms.

I like Feraligtr too, though, and I've never raised one, so it's a bit of a toss-up. :/
 
Jeez, and I thought totodile was overrated
 
Definetly Thyplosion, it's just so awesome, now if you're talking about cuteness I would go with totodile, but that's completely unrelated
 
There is no "best" starter, each starter is kickass depending on how you use it in your team, personally I like the Water type the most. I rarely go with Grass unless it's Sceptile. I don't like Venusaur, Meganium and Torterra that much =( (sorry to all you Meganium fans out there).

Also, LOL @ the name of this thread "Who do you is the best starter pokemon"? "Who do you is"? Lol typo xD
 
I don't prefer using the word best when referring to 2nd gen pokemon, I use the least bad. It has to be typhlosion, because he has an average attack stat, and can learn thunderpunch. Feraligatr was just a bad idea(water pokemon with high attack?) and didn't get any improvements UNTIL D/P/P, and meganium STILL didn't get anything to make it less useless. I'm pretty sure that the strongest STAB move that meganium learns until giga drain is razor leaf. but in looks only, chikorita is win.
 
I'd have to go with Chikorita! that was always my choice. then the next pick would be Cyndaquil but chikorita all the way
 
I have to say Chikorita. Although I usually pick the fire starter (Charmander, Torchic, Chimchar), Chikorita and her line of evolutions are just too cool to pass up! And if it's true that it makes the game harder to have a Chikorita, that makes it even better! I like a challenge. Cyndaquil would probably be my next choice, though.
 
You gotta love Feralgatr!! Him following me in HGSS would scare me though...
Typhlosion is Awesome too, and so is Meganium, but for me I like Feralgatr just a notch above Typhlosion.

R/B/Y-Charizard Impossible to not love!!!!!
G/S/C-Feralgatr-I most likely will trade a cyndaquil to Soul Silver though, cause I like that combo.typhlosion+feralgatr=Ultra Destuction!!!
R/S/E-Sceptile,SO CUTE!!! ...er ehem...
D/P/P- Torterra- There just too cool!

But Just Saying-No Pokemon Really Is The Best,These Are Just Favorites
 
Meganium in my opinion is erm... Okay? In all pokemon games, I will always inevitably pick the grass type first, I just love them for some reason. Although I've only played G/S/C and D/P/Pt. I played yellow and never played 3rd gen games =p

Meganium isn't great although my favourite has got to be chikorita and bayleef. Maganium is quite ugly imo. However as I replay games, I'll pick the fire types. Typhlosion ftw! But true to my word, I voted meganium ^^
 
It all depends on personal preferance really, but Feraligatr for me. Won many battles for me :-3
 
I love the Johto starters especially the fire one
 
i like all of them but for the one im actually going to use will have to be meganium unless they include a better grass type because water=red gyarados fire=arcanine grass=...... if they come out with a good grass then i will pick typhlosion
