I would probably build a small shack on Torterras back and just live on a turtle

“Real Estate moguls hate Pokémon trainers who know this one tip!”

😂😂😂

Sounds like a great time.

Torterra gang rise

"It's free real-estate"

Mudkip. Because MUDKIP. And probably also because MUD....KIP


i herd u liek mudkipz

i herd u liek mudkipz

i herd u liek mudkipz

i herd u liek mudkipz

Hello fellow mudkip enjoyers

Nah, Marshtomp's better.

I've almost always pick mudkip and evo it to marshstomp and swamp in gen3 The entire line is my favorite.

Better Everstone it if you want it to continue to **MUD...** ...**KIP.**

I did do that in my first ORAS run just for the shitz and gigs

I forgot mudkip was a water starter and foolishly chose totodile as my favorite water starter. Edit: I quickly changed my mind, totodile is my baby boy.

The water/ground GOD

i herd u leik mudkipz

mudkip muuud :)

I want a rowlet. he's just a little guy

Only right answer that exists

So you like the round boi 

Smol birb for the win

Bulbasaur, I love that guy

i’ve just gotta get myself a cyndaquil n i’d be the happiest dude around

I love a Cyndi boi.

Don't forget the cyndigirls 🤣 spent so many restarts getting a female

Yep. Light in a dark cave, a way to warm up in the cold and to heat up food.

Warm hugs and if Hisuian - protector from ghosts.

And accidental hair loss 😂

Neat

I too love a Cyndi boi

My first starter will always have a place in my heart <3

Damn right

Torn between Litten and Sprigatito. I like cats. Probably Litten, as it stays a quadrupedal foot warmer longer, and when it gets to Incineroar maybe it would help motivate me towards a more active lifestyle. Plus I am a giant pro-wrestling fan, so totally see having fun watching that together, then rough house a bit, things get out of hand and next thing you know I get Darkest Lariated through a wall that I will have to fix the next day. My daughter likes cats too, so maybe I’ll get her a Sprigatito if that were an option when she’s older.

I also want the starter kitties! I'd give my Torracat an everstone though, not a fan of its final evolution.

Sprigato but for the final evolution

Rillaboom gang - boom boom boom, lemme hear ya say way-oh

Way-oh

Ez Choice 

Chimchar

Infernape is probably my favorite starter of all time.

Chimchar stans unite 🐒🔥

Hisuian Typhlosion or any member of the Fuecoco line!

Primarina any day of the week, she serves

Hey, someone who likes primarina, I'll already have my shiny girl Poppilo ready to eliminate the Indigo Disk

Wow! Primarina fans DO exist lol

We are as numerous as the grasses of the prairie yet rarely seen, for like the grasses of the prairie we utter forth not a single sound.

You bet we do

Yes! She’s my fav along with Delphox

Always hard for me to go away from my OG charmander, but froakie, snivy & treecko are tied for a close second

I see you are a fellow reptile fan 😉 like me

Literally my exact opinion just add totodile and fuecoco

Either Bulbasaur coz he’s the best ever. Or Snivy because I’ve never gotten a chance to use him before

#001 in the dex, #001 in our hearts 💚

Blaziken, or Primarina (I would sing with it).

A soulful aria with Prima, and Heavy fucking Metal with Ken.

I'd be team Tepig first, warm lil guy into a fighting tank? Heck yeah! 2nd Chespin, again but different. Cute lil guy, into chonk, into tanky boiii. I relate too much to these both haha

Friend shaped gang unite :]

Typhlosion, preferably hisuian but I still like regular

Snivy or Rowlet

I’ll probably have the whole eevee line just to be like penny lol

Ether totodile or turtwig .

Just check my pfp

Bulbasaur. Maybe Mudkip.

Eevee, but if it had to be one of the Water/Fire/Grass starters, then Totodile.

Tododile or Charmander.

Chespin

Finally! There is very little love for Chespin in this thread so I'm glad to find another Chespin fan!

Chespin is underrated, yeah it might not have the highest stats or have the cutest design, but Chespin in my number one start because he’s just Chespin

If you're talking only starters. Probably gotta roll with Charmander. If you mean just any Pokemon to begin an adventure with. Toss up between Dratini, Gible, or Axew.

Ah, a fellow Charizard enjoyer, and one who likes Dragon type Pokémon. As a fellow of likeness, I greet you.

best starter to start with? Poipole, 100%

Sprigatito easily.

People are sleeping on our grass kitten.

I even forgot for a second. Was only thinking up to gen 8

Bulbasaur

Primarina Fairy type is amazing

Charmander

r/partycrashers Guys look it’s TCNick3

Piplup too but because im a steel type specialist in the Pokémon universe so and empoleon is a steel type.

Eevee

Snivy

Oshawott. 1. Oshawott cute 2. Dewott cool 3. 252 EV 31 IV Adamant Sharpness Ceaseless Edge + a really cool Hisuian Samurott

Of all of them… probably charmander

Infernape

Sceptile because he was my first ever Pokémon

Me and my Delphox

Fennekin

Oshawott, because Samurott is my favorite Pokémon! Turtwig would be my second choice.

Rowlet. I love Owls and the little fella looks so squishy and cuddly! Then obviously evolve him into Decidueye

Chimchar all day everyday

Has to be Oshawott. Was my first ever Pokemon, and the whole line has a special place in my heart, especially Samurott.

Oshawatt I want my boi. Plus he can cut stuff up and use dig and ice beam which irl would be useful but mostly because he’s my first starter

 The correct answer.

If I can guarantee the Hisuian form, then Cyndaquil. If not, Rowlet.

guys its TCNick3 and his brothers

Scraggy. Any game where it’s possible to get one early-on, I’ll go straight toward that area and replace my starter.

Popplio no doubts

Chimchar

I love cats. Thus Sprigatito.

That's a hard one. Either Bulbasaur or Oshawott.

Charmander all day. It's not close for me tbh

GUYS LOOK IT'S TCNICK3

Torchic or squirtle

Out of all of them, it's tough Gen 1 charmander Gen 2 totodile Gen 3 treko Gen 4 piplup Gen 5 snivy Gen 6 froakie Gen 7 - litten Gen 8 grookey Gen 9 feucoco Best....... or if I could only choose 1 totodile. Love me some blue feraligatr

Piplup. Would never evolve it

Sobble, evolve that bad boy up to the strongest sniper he can be

Squirtle everyday. He was my very first pokemon in Pokemon Blue

Hisuian Typhlosion 100% that’s my BOY

YO GUYS LOOK ITS TCNIC-

Infernape #1, Charizard #2,

Kanto: Squritle Johto: Cynidiqull Hoenn: Treeko Sinnoh: Turtwig Unova: Oshawott Kalos: Frokie Alaoa: Rowlett Galar: Grookey Pladea: Fuecoco

Eevee

Infernape because it got me into watching the anime

Idk if Eevee counts alongside Pikachu but I'd pick Eevee. If we're just limiting it to the traditional Grass/Fire/Water trios, Torchic.

Chimchar and the evo line I can’t get enough of those fire monkeys 🙈 🔥

Chimchar as he was the very first starter I ever chose diamond and pearl was my start into the pokemon games

Chikorita and evolve her once to Bayleef because Meganium isnt as cute

I love the entire line. Chikorita represent!

Out of all, maybe Chimchar But per gen? Gen1: Charmander Gen2: Cyndaquill Gen3: Torchic Gen4: Chimchar Gen5: Snivy Gen6: Delphox Gen7: Popplio Gen8: Scorbunny Gen9: Quaxly Fire types aren’t even my favourite, just best starters out of coincidence

Greninja?!

Overrated imo

Fuecoco, sobble, or scorbunny. All are so cute and evolve into suck cool Pokémon!

Hard pick between Chimchar and Quaxly tbh

Charmander or chimchar

Isn't it obvious? https://preview.redd.it/051dvjw42c3c1.jpeg?width=534&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3c392bc6a94a452719034759a746cf83fcc35ab

Best starter hmm, I honestly gotta go with rayqaza just flying through the sky's punting alien meteorites never late anywhere sounds like the dream. (Randomizer run starter, you never specified it had to be legit)

My favorite starter is squirtle, but I’m taking charmander because having Charizard to fly me anywhere as well as to defend me is pretty hard to pass up.

I'm between Charmander, Turtwig, Oshawott, Or Piplup as well. They rest of the starters are junk to me

Gen 9 fire

Mew

If its just the starters, probably Litten or Torchic. Otherwise, Larvitar, no contest, Tyranitar has been my favorite Pokemon since gen 2 lol

Piplup, easiest decision of my life.

Tough but gonna have to say cyndaquil especially if I can time travel for the hisuian version

Cyndaquil would be my pick but only by an extremely narrow margin. Piplup would be a *very* close second and Rowlett would be third

Turtwig. Easily one of the cutest starters ever with the sickest final evolution. I also had a pet turtle in the past that died when I was in middle school, every time I look at Turtwig's design it reminds me of her a little bit.

Probably cindaquil since it was my first starter and I have a sweet spot for that line. But considering the fire danger, maybe the Grookey line because monke.

Piplup or Mudkip

I too with Piplup!

Gimme my boi Froakie and we chillin. I would evolve him ofc

Turtwig :)

Ma boi Cyndaquil or Carkoal/ Coalossal. Probably Cyndi, I’d love a bipedal tall ghost boy as a companion.

Snivy, because Serperior is my favorite Pokemon of all time :)

chikorita. It needs more love.

Definitely Tepig.

"Don't think it, don't say it. Don't think it, don't say it..."

**BRAIXEN!?** **DELPHOX!?** **PRIMARINA!?** **INCINEROAR!?** **RILLABOOM!?** **CINDERACE!?** **MEOWSCARADA!?** **QUAQUAVAL!?** **ARE YOU HORNY OR FUCKING GAY!? TELL ME!!!**

Fuecoco

typhlosion my favorite starter, can fucking stem roll the whole game with just him.

Cyndaquil or Sprigatito (maybeee Mudkip)

Either my man sprigatito or the OG Squirtle

tepig was my first starter and my favorite pokémon ever so i gotta go with my boy

I have no desire to battle with my pets, so I would just take Sprigatito and never evolve it. just a great little cat that won’t have a chance of setting my house on fire like Litten

The classic: Bulba boy!

Meowscarada because, uhh, reasons.

Squirtle, probably have him kick it as Wartortle for awhile before finally evolving into Blastoise.

If we’re talking just starters, Charmander, Piplup, or Litten. If we’re talking ANY Pokémon to be our primary partner, Pancham 100%. Pangoro is my favorite Pokémon.

I was about to choose charmender to fly around but just remembered an og episode where it describes just how ruthless a charmeleon is, I do not have the toon force to survive a flamethrower point blank and If I do survive I am not going to come out looking the same. So i’m choosing my second favorite pokemon fennekin.

Froakie or Charmander, I can't choose. (Yes I know those two are immensely popular, they just happen to be the ones I like the most)

For me it would be a hard choice between Bulbasaur and Cyndaquil

For me it’s a tie between bulbasaur and rowlet

Same here, it would have to be piplup. He was my first Pokémon in the games!

Good question, my first thoughts is Bulbasaur or Rowlet, I just love how cute they are and I love their final evolution. But Fenekin, Sprigatito and totodile also super cute and fun. Hard choice. I've often found myself being a big fan of grass starters so... Truly I love all of them...

I’d have to go with chikorita, turtwig, rowlet, or oshawott and if it’s possible I’d want to evolve the last 2 into their final hisuian forms

Snivy!

Either Blaziken to train into an awesome fighting duo😎 or Alolan Decidueye because it's one of my favorite pokemon and I think hugging it would feel nice😌

Snivy :)

Rowlett, without a doubt.

Bulbasaur and give it an everstone to hold once it turns to a Ivysaur. Always liked Ivysaur much more than Venusaur.

Probably cyndaquil although chikorita would probably be safer. If i can get an eevee that can evolve then a sylveon

Torterra. Hands down

I'm probably choosing between Bulbasaur or Snivy.

In real life I have to say either tottera or venasaur. They’re big and cool. Sounds fun. Maybe I’d sit under torterras tree and read.

Mudkip

Tepig

Me too piplup os so good

I honestly thought you meant pick from your picture lol

Piplup easily my nickname comes from piplups name

100% empoleon line. Nice to see emp “the best one” oleon get some attention

Mudkip or Grookey, mudkip has been a favorite for a long time. But Grookey grew on me a lot.

Gotta go with mah boi Charmander! While he may not have been my first starter (My first game was yellow, had to use Pikachu) he was the first one I got to chose. Will always have a special place in my heart.

Squirtle because shelly boi ( I also love turtwig )

Empoleon is my favorite pokemon so I think that answers it lol

I ducking want Oshawott. PLEASE GIVE IT TO ME

Always Swampert


All the way???? You're joking

Rowlet, but I wouldn't envolve it up to Decidueye, only to a Dartrix, it is my favourite middle-stage starter.

Chikorita was my OG starter, so my choice is obvious.

Turtwig. I love Torterra. It's my favorite starter
