[Pokemon] Your favorite starters of each gen?

[Deleted]

basically all fire starters.

all fire starters were useful for a long time. except for when i was able to catch a houndoom instead ^^

[Fetacheese]

It seems that we can choose any evolutionary stage, so here goes!

1. Venesaur
2. Bayleef
3. Sceptile
4. Torterra (wins by default)
5. Samurott

[Meillquei]

Gen 1: Squirtle
Gen 2: Totodile
Gen 3: Treecko
Gen 4: Turtwig
Gen 5: Tepig (I dislike Emboar though)

[Majik8ball]

Charmander
Chikorita
Treeko
Piplup
Oshawott

[vindicatorx]

I only am aware of the first 2 cause thats all I played and technically I had the yellow version so I had Pickachu and in Ruby I used Torchick

[Wishblade]

Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic. Played Pokemon as a kid and fire was the thing for me. Would likely change nowadays but I don't play Pokemon anymore so can't say.

[Yseran]

1st: None
2nd: Totodile
3rd: Treeko
4th: Piplup
5th: Oshawatt
I rarely end up using starters past about the 4th gym though because they're all so replaceable stat/type-wise with the exception of Infernape who is pretty OP.
Favorite pokemon overall: Sneasel, Breloom, Flygon, Absol, Aggron, Ninetales, Chandelure

[Tojara]

Always went Fire. They generally have the most staying power and are generally faster.

My strat is to pick Charmander and only use him in the first generation. Don't even need to use another Pokemon because a level 75-80 Charizard sweeps everything in Red/Blue or Fire Red/Leaf Green!

I like Totodile though!

[Vestig3]

Gen 1: Charmander
Gen 2: Cyndaquil
Gen 3: Torchic
Gen 4: Turtwig
Gen 5: Oshawott

I love fire type's and Charizard, Blaziken and Typhlosion where realy great with Typhlosion beeing my all time favorite its sad ash's Cyndaquil never made it too that stage

[Deleted]

Gen 1: Charizard (It's also my favorite Pokémon overall)
Gen 2: Typhlosion
Gen 3: Swampert
Gen 4: Torterra (Even though I don't really like any of those starters)
Gen 5: Emboar (Don't really care for these starters either)

[JohnBrown1917]

Gen 1 : Charizard, which also happens to be my favorite pokemon.
gen 2 : Typhlosion
gen 3 : Blaziken.
gen 4 : Infernape, but gen 4 had the "weakest" starters in my opinion.
gen 5 : Snivy,
Just look at him :

He isen't just the best of the 3 starters, he knows he's the best of the 3 starters.

I only am aware of the first 2 cause thats all I played and technically I had the yellow version so I had Pickachu and in Ruby I used Torchick

Obviously you didn't play the first 2, you played Yellow and Ruby, Yellow is part of gen 1 and Ruby is gen 3, so technically you played the first and the third.

[Necronium]

1: Bulbasaur
2: First one I used was Chikorita. But my favorite is Cyndaquil.
3: Treeko
4: I have never liked the fourth generation. It was kinda... bleh. Favorite? Piplup.
5: Started loving it again when fifth hit. Favorite: Snivy.

Short summarization: I tend to use grass pokemon because it's faceroll once they learn absorb, and then mega drain.
Besides, they are quite sturdy overall.

Its a long time since ive played, so im a bit week in the names, guess ill look them up :0

1: I cant pick a favorite here, they are all awesome, in all 3 stages
2: Have to go with Chikorita, was my starter in my first pokemon game, mostly because all my friends had one of the 2 others, also became my first level 100 (as Meganium). i liked them all in their basic form, but their next forms doesnt compare to the Gen 1 starters.
3: Torchic, because its the only one that stays cool at all 3 stages. But once again, all the 3 starters are nice looking.
4: I think they are all a bit meh here, guess id go with Turtwig, played the game with Piplup, but at about level 50 with him, i started disliking it, and Chimchar just felt like a Torchic V2.0
5: In the basic forms, Oshawott is my favorite, but he just turns ugly in his next phases, really regreted picking it in my game, tho i could say the same for the 2 others, but again, if i had to pick one, it would be Tepig.

I dont think the pokemons will ever be as cool as in the first generation (maybe its mostly a nostagia thing :/), but atleast the 5th gen game was a lot better than 3rd and 4th (the non remakes), atleast thats how i felt

[Mistral]

Gen1: Bulbasaur (even if I used Charmander for most of my walktroughs back then)
Gen2: Cyndaquil
Gen3: Mudkip (but they were all quite useful imho)
Gen4: Chimchar
Gen5: Oshawott (but they were all more on the useless side of power, the water one was the best HM slave though)

[Digglett]

Emboar reminds me of a badass old time Japanese General, why so much hate on him?

[Shiny212]

Charmander.

I don't consider the other "generations" to be pokemon due to their unimaginative designs and names, as a result I know nothing about them.

[Digglett]

Man I know, Voltorb is possibly the most unimginative Pokemon I've ever seen!...Wait, that's Gen 1...

[pikachu]

I'm sad by reading here..

[Skelington]

Charmander.

It's funny cause they are no less imaginative than G1 pokemon. Cause, you know, G1 was absolutely perfect. Like the birds. The bugs. The pokeball. The magnet. The blob. The other blob. The other blob. The turtle. The lizard. The snake. The shrew that's not just any shrew, but one that lives in the sand. The mole. The dog. The horse. The cat......
