Which of the starter types do you usually pick?
I'm a grass fag usually but in Gens 2 & 6 I chose Cyndaquil & Froakie
I always box it no matter what I pick. Even as a kid playing pokemon for the first time I ditched those pieces of shit as soon as I could.
Waterfag except gen 6, I picked Fennekin.
1st runs each gen
>charmander
>totodile
>mudkip
>chimchar (only on emulator, only one playthrough)
>never played gen V, would probably pick grass for the first time ever though judging by the 1st stagers
>froakie
>>27316071
Starters that I don't think are trash
>Grass: 3
>Water: 3
>Fire: 1
Which sucks because fire is my favorite type. Litten better not get ruined
1st time through I picked water every time save for chimchar.
If i had to choose over?
Bulbasaur
Totodile
Treecko
Chimchar
Snivy or Oshawatt (serperior > all, but oshawatts line is definitely the best overall)
Froakie
Best 1st stage:
Squirt
Chikorita
Mudkip
Piplup
Tepig
Chespin
Best Final Stage:
Charizard
Meganium
Sceptile
Torterra
Serperior i guess
Greninja
>>27316071
Snivy made me give up on Grass starters in general. Thank God because it saved me from the abomination coming the next gen.
Bulbasaur
Chikorita/Totodile
Treecko
Turtwig
Tepig
Froakie
>>27316350
And Popplio is Best of course
Mainly a waterfag
>Squirtle
>Cyndaquil
>Treecko
>Piplup
>Oshawott
>Froakie
This time round i'm most likely going for Rowlett
>>27316094
This.
Just LOL at needing a starter to beat the earlier parts. Git gud kiddos.
Charmander
Totodile
Treeko
Piplup
Snivy
Fennekin
Rowlett
Grassfag through and through.
Except in Gen 6, first time I've ever picked fire.
>>27316071
By average I choose water but I'm not inclined to any type, it's just that they're some of my more favorite designs.
Also I like bulkier pokemons and waters are the typical bulkmons.
Favorites are
>bulbasaur
>cyndaquil
>mudkip
>tie between piplup and chimchar because of final evos
>I don't like these but by margin of final evo it's snivy
>froakie
I don't like any of the current pokemon but the 7th gen water starter if it has a good evo will be my next one.
>>27316071
I went
Charmander
Totodile
Treecko
Chimchar
Snivy
Froakie
Gen 7 Is between Litten and Rowlet till I see final evos.
>>27316071
Mostly grass and water i don't really like fire starters that much
>Squirtle
>Totodile
>Treecko
>Turtwig
>Tepig/Oshawott
>Fennekin/Froakie
>>27316071
Grass, always. Obviously I've chosen others since but the first time around every generation I always go grass.
>Bulbasaur
>Cyndaquil
>Mudkip
>Piplup
>Snivy
>Fennekin
I'm very well rounded with my types
My pattern is still alive
Fire - Fire - Water - Water - Fire - Fire - Water
Assuming Popplio stays my fav Gen 7 starter

I was going to choose Rowlet, but Pikipek is the better bird, so I'll probably go water

Gen 6 is the worst decision because they're all kind of mediocre
>>27316546
>no grass
Well done, son.
>>27316071
I almost always pick water starters except in Gen 1 and my first playthrough of Gold and Heartgold, where I picked Cyndaquil. I also picked Chespin in my first Y playthrough and that turned out to be a mistake.
>>27316404
Well aren't you a badass
I'm mostly a fan of fire, but i can think of a few instances where I have chosen or used other starters. Gen 4 i started turtwig and gen 6 froakie. Other than that its all fire, but i love totodile line and all of the hoenn starters. I'll either go rowlett or litten gen 7.
>>27316296
Good to know there's other people that like Samurott.
I pick:
>Water
Gen 1, 2, 4 and 6
>Grass
Gen 3 and 5
>Fire
usually my second choice in most gens
>>27316071
18 years of water.
>>27316071
fellow grassfag here. I'm actually considering breaking it with Gen VII and choosing Popplio though.
>Charmander
>Cyndaquil
>Torchic
>Chimchar
>Tepig
>Froakie
>Rowlet
I always pick the fire starter but since Fennekin and Litten are shit I went with the best option.
Water, I guess.
I never pick Fire, they need better starters.
>>27316071
Odd generations - Grass
Even generations - Water
That's just how it's worked to this point, but after installling Sun and starting it up, I'll be injecting a Turtwig or something. I refuse to use any of these horrible-looking things.
I picked water the first three gens, then grass the next three gens. Not on purpose, the pattern was just a coincidence. I'm not going to start picking fire now, currently Litten's my least favorite Gen 7 starter. But we'll see what happens.
3 fire, 3 water
Grass a shit
>>27316071
Grassfag here.
Totodile, Torchic, Mudkip and Tepig are cool too though.
My first playthroughs:
Charmander
Chikorita
Torchic
Didn't play 4th Gen, would probably pick Piplup
Tepig
Froakie
It's a tie between Typhlosion and Greninja for favorite final evolutions
>>27316071
I was mainly a Grassfag up 'til Gen 6 came along. If Litten's final evolution turns out to be shit, I'm picking Popplio,
Bulbasaur.
Totodile.
Treecko.
Piplup.
Snivy.
Fennekin.
Litten(?)Lippety Litten, please no Fire-Fighting kitten.
>>27316071
ALWAYS ran Water for my "main" play through... Have dabble with all gen one and two tho, and mostly fire after.
Only grass starters I ever liked were bulby and turtwig
>>27318285
Litten is shit, yet chooses Smogonfrog
>>27316071
>R/B
Charmander
>G/S/C
Totodile

I have no idea how this happened, but I always end up picking the starters in order of grass, fire, and water. I never noticed it until recently, and it's such a strange coincidence
>>27316071
First runs were:
