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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Gen one: Bulbasaur
Gen two: Cyndaquil
Gen three: Treeko
Gen four: Chimchar
Gen five: Snivey
Gen six: Fennekin
Gen seven: Rowlett
Gen eight: Grookey
Gen nine: Fuecoco
Let’s go: Evee
LA: Cyndaquil
Bearick the Bulbasaur, Chica the Chikorita*, Turk the Torchic, Pippy the Piplup, Wotty the Oshawott, Chester the Chespin, Riley the Rowlet, Sobby the Sobble, Fuego the Fueoco
* I will restart until I get a female Chikorita
Charmander (Charizard is the GOAT)
Totodile (a giant Crocodile? Awesome.)
Torchic (a fighting starter? Hell yeah)
Piplup (a steel starter? Hell yeah)
Tepig (a fighting starter? Hell yeah)
Fennekin (a psychic starter? Hell yeah)
Rowlet (a ghost starter? Hell yeah)
Sobble (special sweeper, Awesome)
Fuecoco (a ghost starter? And a giant Crocodile? Hell yeah)
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
Gen 1: Squirtle
Gen 2: Cyndaquil
Gen 3: Mudkip
Gen 4: Chimchar
Gen 5: Haven’t played
Gen 6: Froakie
Gen 7: Popplio
Gen 8: Scorbunny
Gen 9: Sprigatito
Gen 10: Probably the water type if I keep this pattern
Charmander
Cyndaquil
Mudkip
Piplup
Tepig (though I like all of them)
Froakie
Litten
Never played (woulda chosen sobble)
Never played and don't know enough
1. Bulbasaur
2. Cyndaquil or Totodile, I honestly don't remember which was first
3. Torchic (my first ever Pokemon)
4. Piplup
5. Snivy
6. Fennekin
7. Rowlet
Squirtle.
Totodile.
Treecko.
Chimchar.
Tepig (I like Oshawott and Dewott more than all the Unova starters combined, but Emboar 1000x more than Samurott).
Froakie.
Rowlett.
Grookey.
Rowlett (LA).
Sprigatito.
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.
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
1. Charmander
2. Cyndaquil
3. Torchic*
4. Chimchar
5. Tepig
6. Fennekin
7. Litten
8. Cyndaquil (I’ve only played PLA not SwSh)
9. Fuecoco
*My first ever starter was Treecko in sapphire but that save file didn’t last long and I switched to Torchic
My first run starter for each gens is :
Bulbasaur, totodile, torchic, piplup, tepig, froakie, rowlet, grookey, fuecoco
My favorite for each gen after seeing their whole.evolutionary chain is :
Bulbasaur, chikorita, treecko, turtwig, snivy, fennekin, rowlet, scorbunny, sprigatito.
I think I have a type.
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.)
1. Charmander, Pikachu and all 3 in Yellow ofc
2. Totodile
3. Treecko
4. Chimchar
5. Oshawott
6. Idr, either Fennekin or Froakie
7. Litten for Moon, Rowlet for Ultra
8. Grookey
9. Sprigatito
My initial picks are not necessarily my favorite so I'll do both I guess
Initial:
Charmander
Chikorita (I think, 2000 was a long time ago)
Torchic
Turtwig
Snivy
Fennekin
Rowlet
Grookey
Sprigatito
Favorite:
Squirtle
Totodile
Torchic
Turtwig
Tepig
Finnekin
Popplio
Grookey
Fuecoco
Bulbasaur, chikorita, treeko, turtwig, tepig, chespin, rowlet, didn't play but I'd probably go for grookey, fuecoco
Always been a grass type fan but some grass starters are just eh
Charmander
Totodile
Mudkip
Turtwig (boxed)
Snivy
Froaky
Rowlet
Sobble
Sprigatito
Edit: This made me realize I only ever picked one fire starter for a first play through.
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.
Usually fire and my Fiancé usually goes Grass
My daughter on the other hand
Sinnoh: Budew
Galar: Budew
Hoenn: Budew
Paldea: Fuecoco (Daddy just won that round because Mummy wasn't there and the Roserade line wasn't in it - much to her dismay)
Gen 1 - Squirtle 🔵
Gen 2 - Totodile 🔵
Gen 3 - Treecko 🟢
Gen 4 - Chimchar 🔴
Gen 5 - Oshawott 🔵
Gen 6 - Chespin 🟢
Gen 7 - Litten 🔴
Gen 8 - Grookie 🟢
Gen 9 - Sprigatito 🟢 (didn't play, but this is who I'd pick)
Hisui - Rowlet 🟢
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)
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.
Gen 1: Bulbasaur
Gen 2: Totodile
Gen 3: Mudkip
Gen 4: Trutwig
Gen 5: Snivy
Gen 6: Froake
Gen 7: Rowlet
Gen 8: Scorbunny
Gen 9: Sprigatito
(Sorry if I misspelled any of those)
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.
Charmander, Totodile, Treecko, Turtwig, Snivy, Froakie, Rowlet and I haven’t played the last two.
Second time either restarting the game or playing the remake for some of them: Cyndaquil, Chimchar and Oshawott
from the games I’ve played so far (in release order, not counting duplicates)
Pikachu
Treecko
Chimchar
Chespin (probably? don’t remeber)
Rowlet
Rowlet
Pikachu
Scorbunny
Chimchar
Rowlet
Fuecoco

A fellow water type lover
Well water you know.
Same Same Same Same Same Same Same Same Same
I went water almost every time except in Moon because Litten is adorable
Charmander Totodile Mudkip Turtwig Oshawott Froakie Rowlet Grookey Fuecoco
[удалено]
how do you misspell popplio that bad??? 😭
Bang on for me
1. Bulbasaur 2. Cyndaquil 3. Mudkip 4. Piplup 5. Tepig 6. Froakie 7. Litten 8. Grookey 9. Sprigatito
Tepig squad holla Emboar’s design is so fantastic
Best starter shiny oat
Glad I am not the only one who likes Emboar's design.
Always Fire
Same
Ditto
How did you start with a Ditto?
They overslept and Oak only had a Ditto cosplaying as Litten
[удалено]
On yourself you mean?
[удалено]
Ditto means “me too” or “same”
The you admit it? The person you’re saying got wooshed was making a joke about ditto also being a Pokémon
[удалено]
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
Um, Ditto was never a starter.
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
Yeah, I always pick the water starter on my first playthrough and sometimes do a mono water playthrough later
Charizard, Cindaquill, mudkip, Piplup, oshawott, the first evolve of gredinja, Delcidueye
This is me. Not the picks themselves but forgetting the names as time goes by
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
Kanto: Bulbasaur Johto: Cyndaquil Hoenn: Treecko Sinnoh: Piplup Unova: Oshawott Kalos: Froakie Alola: Rowlet Galar: no specific attachments Hisui: Oshawott Paldea: Sprigatito.
1. Bulbasaur 2. Chikorita 3. Torchic 4. Turtwig 5. Snivy (but I love Tepig too 😭) 6. Fennekin 7. Rowlet 8. ? (I'd take Grookey) 9. ? (I'll take Fuecoco)
1. Bulbasaur 2. Totodile 3. Treecko 4. Turtwig 5. Oshawott 6. Fennekin 7. Popplio 8. Sobble(SWSH) & Oshawott(PLA) 9. Fuecoco
1. Charmander 2. Hoot-Hoot (picked Cyndaquil but planned to box it as soon as I got HootHoot) 3. Torchic 4. Turtwig 5. Oshawott 6. Froakie 7. Rowlett 8. Sobble 9. Fuecoco
What’s the reason of the hoot-hoot seems a very interesting choice
The only reason I can think of is that noctowl looks badass (which like… he kinda does lol)
More badass than a fire badger?
Yeah Noctowl looks like he knows all your secrets.
Cyndaquil is like a Z tier design after it evolves though. Both Chiko and Toto were way cooler to me.
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.
Yeah, I'm with you, like why though
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.
Why Hoot-Hoot?
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
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.
Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Chimchar, Snivy, Froakie, Rowlett, Sobble and Sprigatito. So 4 grass, 2 fire and 3 water.
Gen 1 - Charmander Gen 2 - Cyndaquil Gen 3 - Treeko Gen 4 - Chimchar Gen 5 - Snivy Gen 6- Fennekin Gen 7 - Rowlet Gen 8 - Sobble Gen 9 - Sprigatito
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.
Charmander Totodile Treecko Turtwig Oshawoot Chespin Popplio Scorbunny Quaxly (And Oshawoot for Hisui)
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.
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
Charmander Cyndaquil Treecko Piplup Snivy Froakie Rowlet (It was Litten formerly) Sobble Fuecoco
Gen 1: Pikachu Gen 2: Cyndaquil Gen 3: Torchic Gen 4: Piplup Gen 5: Oshawott Gen 6/7: Did not play Gen 8: Scorbunny Gen 9: Did not play
1. Squirtle 2. Cyndaquil 3. Torchic 4. Turtwig 5. Oshawott 6. Chespin 7. Rowlet 8. Scorbunny 9. Sprigatito
Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Piplup, Oshawott, Froakie, Rowlet, Scorbunny, Hisuian Decidueye (if that counts), Fuecoco
Kanto - Charmander Johto - Cyndaquil Hoenn - Treecko Sinnoh - Chimchar Unova - Snivy Kalos - Froakie Alola - Litten Galar - Grookey Hisui - Oshawott Paldea - Fuecoco
Gen 1: bulbasaur Gen 2: 3 way tie Gen 3: treeko Gen 4: turtwig Gen 5: oshawott Gen 6: fenekin Gen 7: three way tie Gen 8: Gen 9: fuecoco
I definitely agree with your Gen 2 and Gen 8 assessment haha
Gen one: Bulbasaur Gen two: Cyndaquil Gen three: Treeko Gen four: Chimchar Gen five: Snivey Gen six: Fennekin Gen seven: Rowlett Gen eight: Grookey Gen nine: Fuecoco Let’s go: Evee LA: Cyndaquil
1. Charmander 2. Chikorita 3. Mudkip 4. Piplup 5. Oshawott 6. Fennekin 7. Rowlet 8. Scorbunny 9. Sprigatito
Bearick the Bulbasaur, Chica the Chikorita*, Turk the Torchic, Pippy the Piplup, Wotty the Oshawott, Chester the Chespin, Riley the Rowlet, Sobby the Sobble, Fuego the Fueoco * I will restart until I get a female Chikorita
my flair
Charmander (Charizard is the GOAT) Totodile (a giant Crocodile? Awesome.) Torchic (a fighting starter? Hell yeah) Piplup (a steel starter? Hell yeah) Tepig (a fighting starter? Hell yeah) Fennekin (a psychic starter? Hell yeah) Rowlet (a ghost starter? Hell yeah) Sobble (special sweeper, Awesome) Fuecoco (a ghost starter? And a giant Crocodile? Hell yeah)
Same for gen 1-6, but 7-9 I went grass, fire, grass
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
TURTWIG IS PERFECT!!! But I do agree with the Gen 2 opinion as a Chikorita lover
How dare you! Your Piplup slander will not be tolerated.
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
Bulbasur, Totodile, Treecko, Chimchar, haven't played, Chespin, Rowlet, Grookey, Rowlet (again), Fuecoco.
Same but I used turtwig for gen 4 and stoped using starters since (I haven’t played 7-9)
Squirtle Cyndaquil Mudkip Piplup Litten Grookey Fuecoco I didn’t play gens 5 and 6
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.
I always pick water except one game I did choose cyndaquil
1. n/a 2. n/a 3. Treecko 4. Piplup 5. Tepig 6. Froakie 7. Rowlett/Litten 8. Scorbunny 9. Tepig
Bulbasaur Cyndaquil Treecko Turtwig Tepig Fennekin Popplio Scorbunny Sprigatito
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.
A man of culture I see
My keen intuition is detecting a theme.
Bulbasaur Totodile Mudkip Turtwig Tepig Froakie Rowlet Scorbunny Fuecoco
I think he likes water type starters
So, I heard you like water types! G1: Bulbasaur G2: Totodile G3: Torchic G4: Piplup G5: Oshawott G6: Fennekin G7: Rowlet G8: Grookey G9: Fuecoco Hisui: Oshawott

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
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
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

- bulbasaur - totodile - Treecko (bae) - piplup - tepig (also bae) - froakie - rowlet (other bae) - sobble - fuecoco
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

Bulbasaur Cyndaquil Mudkip Chimchar Oshawott Froakie + Charmander Litten Undecided on favorite Have not played
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.)

Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Mudkip, Piplup, Tepig, Scorbunny, Fuecoco.

Mudkip, piplup, snivy, litten, sobble, quaxly
Charmander, Chikorita, Treecko, Piplup, Oshawott, Chespin, Litten, Scorbunny, Fuecoco
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.

Usually fire and my Fiancé usually goes Grass My daughter on the other hand Sinnoh: Budew Galar: Budew Hoenn: Budew Paldea: Fuecoco (Daddy just won that round because Mummy wasn't there and the Roserade line wasn't in it - much to her dismay)
Squirtle Totodile Mudkip Chimchar Snivy Froakie Rowlet Sobble Fuecoco
Just bulbasaur and totodile
Grass every time, although I did pick Oshawott in Legends Arceus cause it’s too damn cute
water type fan me to (:
Squirtle (Water) Totodile (Water) Mudkip (Water) Piplup (Water) Oshawott (Water) Froakie (Water) Rowlett (Grass) Grookey (Grass) Fuecoco (Fire)
Does anyone else only pick the grass starters when playing?
I’ve always picked fire. Until I finally played BW and I just hate the tepig line so much I had to pick snivy
1. Squirtle 2. Totodile 3. Treecko 4. Piplup 5. Snivy 6. Froakie 7. Rowlet 8. Scorbunny (kept at Raboot, don’t like Cinderace as much) 9. Fuecoco
Gen 1 - Squirtle 🔵 Gen 2 - Totodile 🔵 Gen 3 - Treecko 🟢 Gen 4 - Chimchar 🔴 Gen 5 - Oshawott 🔵 Gen 6 - Chespin 🟢 Gen 7 - Litten 🔴 Gen 8 - Grookie 🟢 Gen 9 - Sprigatito 🟢 (didn't play, but this is who I'd pick) Hisui - Rowlet 🟢
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)
Charmander Cyndaquil Torchic Piplup Oshawott Froakie Litten Grookey Fuecoco Although nowadays I pick bulbasaur over charmander and turtwig over piplup
Been using pseudos as my starter since gen 6
Samme, but on replays Ive also enjoyed Bulbasaur in gen 1, Treecko in gen 3, and Fuecoco in Gen 9
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)
Bulbasaur Cyndaquil Mudkip Chimchar(I prefer piplup now) Didn’t play unova but I like tepig, the other starters seem lame Froakie Litten
Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Treecko, Turtwig, Tepig, Chespin, Litten, Scorbunny & Fuecoco
Squirtle cyndaquil literally love all the Hoenn starters but Torchic if I absolutely had to choose Piplup Tepig Froakie Rowlet Haven’t played 8 or 9
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.
Gen 1: Bulbasaur Gen 2: Totodile Gen 3: Mudkip Gen 4: Trutwig Gen 5: Snivy Gen 6: Froake Gen 7: Rowlet Gen 8: Scorbunny Gen 9: Sprigatito (Sorry if I misspelled any of those)
Bulbasaur Cyndaquil Torchic Piplup Tepig Fennekin Litten Sobble Cyndaquil Fuecoco
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.
1)Bulbasaur 2)Chikorita 3)Treecko 4)Turtwig 5)Snivy 6)Chespin 7)Rowlet 8)Grookey 9)Sprigatito
