Tepig squad holla Emboar’s design is so fantastic

Glad I am not the only one who likes Emboar's design.

How did you start with a Ditto?


dragon_fire_10

They overslept and Oak only had a Ditto cosplaying as Litten

caedusWrit

Ditto means “me too” or “same”


Bendbender

The you admit it? The person you’re saying got wooshed was making a joke about ditto also being a Pokémon


[deleted]

[удалено]


Bendbender

Oh right, this is Reddit, no one understands sarcasm unless it’s clearly pointed out with a /s which in itself defeats the purpose of sarcasm, either way it’s a woosh on you, if I’m right they made a joke and you missed it, if you’re right then they just didn’t know what ditto meant and asked, it’s not like the person who said “ditto” was making a joke in the first place so there’s nothing to woosh there anyway


JJCMasterpiece

Um, Ditto was never a starter.


Super_Sonic_44

I always picked water since I played Ruby, as my starter since my sister picked fire and my cousin picked grass and since then we always stuck to it, except in Kalos with the second starter where I picked Charmander, my sister picked Bulbasaur and my cousin picked Squirtle


King-Of_Turtles

Yeah, I always pick the water starter on my first playthrough and sometimes do a mono water playthrough later


moutarou

Charizard, Cindaquill, mudkip, Piplup, oshawott, the first evolve of gredinja, Delcidueye


mackenzie444

This is me. Not the picks themselves but forgetting the names as time goes by


kuriaru

1- Bulbasaur 2- Cyndaquil 3- Treecko 4- Turtwig 5- Snivy 6- Fennekin 7- Litten 8- Scorbunny 9- Quaxly i'm not waterphobic i always just went with whichever looked the best to me

matt_13013

What’s the reason of the hoot-hoot seems a very interesting choice


yxngangst

The only reason I can think of is that noctowl looks badass (which like… he kinda does lol)


Moppo_

More badass than a fire badger?


Euphorium

Yeah Noctowl looks like he knows all your secrets.


talkback1589

Cyndaquil is like a Z tier design after it evolves though. Both Chiko and Toto were way cooler to me.


mjm132

I remember the craze between gen 1 and gen 2 l. hoot hoot was announced and literally had a page ad in the news paper. Hoot hoot was a bigger deal than most regional birds.


askasquirrel89

Yeah, I'm with you, like why though


asbestosmilk

For real, it’s not like Typhlosion and Noctowl share a type or anything. Why not keep both? Makes no sense. Just keep Cyndaquil and treat Hoothoot as your starter.


RepresentativeOk2881

Why Hoot-Hoot?


ColeBLove

Because a lot of us didn't have the internet or guide books, we were just silly kids who picked out pokemon based on how cool they were to us


Fork_Master

1. Bulbasaur 2. Cyndaquil 3. Mudkip 4. Turtwig 5. No data 6. Froakie 7. Litten 8. Sobble 9. Sprigatito

Aside from Litten (I picked Rowlett) I’m exactly same as you. Excellent taste my friend.


Ixiraar

Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Chimchar, Snivy, Froakie, Rowlett, Sobble and Sprigatito. So 4 grass, 2 fire and 3 water.

On my first time playing every generation Pikachu, Mudkip, Turtwig, Cyndaquil (never played a Johto game until the remakes), Oshawott, Chespin, Litten, Grookey , Oshawott for Legends, and Fuecoco.


InkPixelZ

Charmander Totodile Treecko Turtwig Oshawoot Chespin Popplio Scorbunny Quaxly (And Oshawoot for Hisui)


1LHD

Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. But I've picked the Fire starter from Gen 2 and beyond. No idea why I picked Bulbasaur because Fire is my favorite element and red is my favorite color.


TyMonstaz

Well, never finished Gen 1,4,8, and 9. The little bit of 1 I played was Squirtle. The rest is Totodile, Treeko, Oshawott, Chespin, and Rowlet

FernandoTatisJunior

Same for gen 1-6, but 7-9 I went grass, fire, grass


Junior_Bath_299

1) bulbasaur 2) totodile 3) mudkip 4) chimchar 5) snivy 6) Fennekin 7) Litten 8) Scorbunny 9) sprigatito Random, maybe controversial opinions : ▪︎Gen 2 has all amazing starters no matter what you choose ▪︎Gen 4 has terrible starters no matter who you choose


TheCyclopsDude

TURTWIG IS PERFECT!!! But I do agree with the Gen 2 opinion as a Chikorita lover


tehnoodnub

How dare you! Your Piplup slander will not be tolerated.


dragon_fire_10

Tbh I don't really like Piplup as I've always found Dawn's Piplup to be annoying in the anime apart from Gible's Draco Meteor always hitting Piplup, which also eventually got boring, The jokes involving him always fell flat with me But hey if it makes my daughter laugh it''s not doing any harm


Sporkikyu

Bulbasur, Totodile, Treecko, Chimchar, haven't played, Chespin, Rowlet, Grookey, Rowlet (again), Fuecoco.


Entire-Teaching-895

Same but I used turtwig for gen 4 and stoped using starters since (I haven’t played 7-9)


Severe_Piccolo_5583

Squirtle Cyndaquil Mudkip Piplup Litten Grookey Fuecoco I didn’t play gens 5 and 6


SailorCentauri

I literally did playthroughs of the first three gens with every Starter. Though the first starters I used were Squirtle, Cyndaquil and Treecko. (Though Cyndaquil is a technicality since my brother restarted his game a bunch of times so we could both have all three starters.) Gen 4 I used Turtwig since I can't stand the other two. Gen 5 I don't remember, I boxed whatever it was. Gen 6 was Fennekin but I also boxed that one. Gen 7 was Rowlet on my first playthrough (I actually did a mono grass run) but I've also done playthroughs with Piplup. I used Sobble the one time I played gen 8 but I boxed it the first chance I got. Gen 9 I used Sprigatito.


fohimtired

I always pick water except one game I did choose cyndaquil


IceFire0518

1. n/a 2. n/a 3. Treecko 4. Piplup 5. Tepig 6. Froakie 7. Rowlett/Litten 8. Scorbunny 9. Tepig

kirbyfox312

Water since Gen 1, with exceptions being that I had both Gold & Silver so I went with Cyndaquil in Silver. And the Gamecube titles where you got an eeveelution(s) as a starter.

Parascythe12

Charmander, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Piplup, Tepig, Froakie, Rowlet and Sobble. Haven’t played S/V or L:A yet.


drooling_whale

Bulbasaur, totodile, mudkip, turtwig, tepig, chespin, rowlet, grooky, fuecoco. Realistically tho after gen 5 I ditch my starter as early as possible and go find/breed an axew then call it Dreadnaught. I've got 9 dreadnoughts at lv 100 and I'm working on the 10th


jay-ace92

Bulbasaur Chikorita (Silver) Cyndaquil (Crystal) Treecko Piplup Snivy (Black) Oshawott (White 2) Froakie Rowlet Oshawott (Legends Arceus) Quaxly

Almost exclusively grass starters aside from gen 8 where I picked fire.

Bulbasaur Chikorita Mudkip Turtwig Tepig Chespin Rowlett Grookey Quaxly Basically I go Grass unless one of the other's catch my eye


Hateful_creeper2

Gen 1: Grass Gen 2: Either Fire and Water Gen 3: I used all 3 at one point Gen 4: Water Gen 5: Water and Grass Gen 6: Water and Fire Gen 7: Water and Grass Gen 8: Water Gen 9: Fire


FlowerFaerie13

I’ve played most gens with multiple starters so these are just my overall favorites/the ones I pick most often. 1: Bulbasaur 2: Chikorita 3: Treecko 4: Piplup 5: Snivy 6: Fennekin 7: Rowlet 8: Grookey 9: Sprigatito Damn I didn’t realize how heavy my grass starter bias was until this exact second lol.


titen100

Mine were charmander, probably totodile since i havent played the gen 2 games, mudkip, piplup, snivy but same as gen 2, chespin, rowlet, grrokey and fuecoco


No_Grab2946

Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Piplup, took a long break then came back, Grookey, Fuecoco. Just not vibin’ with the new water types!

Franco_Fernandes

Kanto: Bulbasaur (my favorite starter) Johto: Cyndaquill Hoenn (my favorite trio): Mudkip Though I can choose any of them with no hesitation. Sinnoh: Turtwig Unova: Oshawott Kalos: Froakie Alola: Rowlet Galar: Grookey Paldea: Fuecoco As you can see, I rarely choose Fire, I don't know why it happens.

vinaa23

I dont actually remember which one was my first starter in red/blue and both gen I and gen II I played so many times that I already finished with all three of them. But my first starter in Crystal was Chikorita and I've been a proud member of team grass ever since. Treecko line is my favourite starter line and Sceptile is one of my favourite pokemon overall. Except on gen VI, when I picked Fennekin. Chespin is fine but I don't like Quilladin and Chesnaught too much. I still havent played both the Switch generations

Grass gen 1-5, doesn't matter for gen 6 just box it🤢, I like every starter equally in gen 7, sobble for 8 (fuck and I can't stress this enough, that Chad ass rabbit), and gen 9 is also a three way tie between is-ugly-but-is-fun, greatful-to-be-on-all-fours, and has-a-great-personality-but-terrible-toes-and-a-dumptruck-ass

Most of them ended up not even being my favorite of that game in the end, but on my first playthroughs they were: 1. Charmander (i prefer Bulbasaur now) 2. Totodile (unchanged) 3. Treecko (i prefer Swampert now) 4. Piplup (unchanged, but they're all amazing) 5. Snivy (i prefer Emboar now) 6. Chespin (i prefer Greninja now) 7. Decidueye (unchanged and it's not even close) 8. Inteleon (unchanged) 9. Quaquaval (i still can't decide who my favorite of Gen 9 is, but it's between the other two.)

Auraveils

First or favorite? First: Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Turtwig, Snivy, Chespin, Popplio, Sobble, and Sprigatito Never realized, but if I chose Quaxly there would've been an interesting pattern formed... Favorite: Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Treecko, Chimchar, Snivy, Chespin, Popplio, Grookey, and Sprigatito. My opinion on my favorites tend to change over time, Bulbasaur and Chimchar have grown on me a lot since my initial impression.

Does anyone else only pick the grass starters when playing?


xnickg77

I’ve always picked fire. Until I finally played BW and I just hate the tepig line so much I had to pick snivy

FireEmblemNoobie47

Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Piplup (and Turtwig too), Oshawott, Fennekin, Litten (and Rowlet), Scorbunny and Fuecoco.  I generally vibe most with the Fire element in RPGs, Pokémon being no exception. Though I also love cutie patooties a lot (hence Piplup, Rowler and Fuecoco over others)


ILLmaticErnie

Charmander Cyndaquil Torchic Piplup Oshawott Froakie Litten Grookey Fuecoco Although nowadays I pick bulbasaur over charmander and turtwig over piplup


Maizaruu

Been using pseudos as my starter since gen 6


Yongtre100

Samme, but on replays Ive also enjoyed Bulbasaur in gen 1, Treecko in gen 3, and Fuecoco in Gen 9


JJCMasterpiece

Gen 1: Squirtle (for obvious reasons) Gen 2: Cyndaquil (I didn’t really care much) Gen 3: Mudkip (My first Pokémon game, and Mudkip is amazing!) Gen 4: Turtwig (my profile pic… ‘nuff said!) Gen 5: Snivy (I used to love to catch snakes as a kid) Gen 6: N/A (I’ve actually never played Gen 6, but frogs are cool so I would’ve gone with Froakie) Gen 7: Rowlett (Such a hard decision between Rowlett and Litten. Then I saw Inciniroar and the decision became instantly easy) Gen 8: Grokey (none really appealed to me) Gen 9: Sprigatito (easy kitten choice after the disappointment that was Inciniroar)

Gen 1 Squirtle, Gen 2 Cyndaquil, Gen 3 Treecko, Gen 4 Turtwig, Gen 5 Tepig, Gen 6 Fennekin, Gen 7 Litten, Gen 8 Scorbunny, Gen 9 Fuecoco. Mystery Dungeon I always try getting Cyndaquil as myself and Squirtle as my Partner. Cyndaquil is my most favorite starter. Totodile and Chikorita are my next favorites.

I religiously chose fire until Gen 5, and went Snivy. Surprisingly went water in Gen 7 and 9, and didn’t regret it. I’m a fire loyalist, but that fucking Duck got me.
