Can we get a nice starter thread going?
Post pics of different starters hanging out.
And rememberyour favoriteis the best starter
Looks like a nice thread.
Let's keep it comfy.
>>29602643
I swear to god if I don't get dubs this time I'm going to fucking kill myself.
I like to think that I represent the Swampertbros community when I say that no matter which one is your favorite, you have awesome taste.
These arms are made to brofist.
Gen 7 Starters are my favorite, followed by 3, 4 and 6, in that order
Unironically the most riske thing I've saved.
>>29602760
I like how Greninja seems to be confused about the situation
>>29602748
good taste
>>29602781
So do I, that's why I saved it.
>>29602748
My nigga.
>>29602748
>>29602795
>>29602887
Bretheren of mine.
does ballio count?
Blastoise
Typhlosion
Sceptile
Infernape
Samurott
Greninja
Decidueye
These are the best starters
>>29602947
As a plus one.
>>29602703
I'm sorry, man, I'll miss you.
Also,there is no such thing as bad taste
> one of the only non-hostile threads on /vp/
> dying
No
Venusaur was my first starter bro. Sceptile was cool, too, but only Torterra followed Venusaur closely.
Then up the top shot Emboar. Maybe this time, it's Incineroar
>>29603196
thank you for posting this.
I keep forgetting to save it when I see it.
I would rank the starters
3rd gen
7th gen
1st gen
2nd gen
4th gen
6th gen
5th gen
Enjoyable thread so far, would like to thank all the posters. Gonna find some starter pics!
>>29603096
I'd love Gen VI starters in Gen I hoodies
>>29603230
Not a problem, I'm glad that it worked out that way!
>>29603247
Not enough watermarks.
So what's the theme of this gen's starters?
>no Empoleon
>>29603294
I just liked the art, not like I care that much
>>29603303
Some say Brains, Brawn and Beauty.
I disagree.
>>29603303
the theme is there is no theme
>>29603338
That's why you're here bud! Spread love for your favorite starters, no shame.
>>29602643
My niggas
finding good fanart is surprisingly hard
>>29603438
I like Swampert.
>>29602913
Stop it. Stop making me like them.
>>29602711
>Hmm, Swampert got a mega after he swallowed them like pills.
>But I don't like swallowing pills.
>I wonder if I can use them like a suppository.
>>29603473
Me too
He's my overall favorite pokemon of all time

I've been boxing starters since Gen II.
There are always more interesting Pokemon and more cohesive teams to be built. There's no reason to keep a starter just because the game forces you to own one.
Gen III on there is not one well-designed starter, except maybe that fire monkey, though it isn't to my taste.
>>29603567
cool bro
Water starters are the best
>>29603580
>>29603597
MUDKIP IS CUTE!!
>>29603567
I'm just gonna keep replying to you, because you clearly want it
>>29603567
>>29603580
Squirtle and Totodile are interesting. Mudkip doesn't bear a resemblance to anything in particular and comes off as lazy: just a few blue ovals.
The penguin and the water-panda are pathetic. The water-panda might even be the worst starter design in the series.
I do actually think Poplio has an interesting design, but it's final form is over-detailed and needlessly anthropomorphic.
>>29603567
We understand your opinion and i personally respect it, but this is a starter appreciation thread, so apologies in advance, but if you're not contributing, please vacate our thread
Thank you for your visit
Popplio and I are gonna go on an adventure!
>>29603031
>there is no such thing as bad taste
unless you like poopmaid or delfarts
Favorite starter is cyndaquil, best line is the mudkip line though.
>>29603659

what ever helps you feel good about yourself, bud. i know life can be real hard
>>29603597
I've chosen 5 out of 7 water starters
>>29603673
>>29603525
sceptile is one of my favorites of all time
>>29603673
>>29603567
Nobody cares about your hipster bullshit Richard now shut the fuck up and kill yourself
i'm gonna go play vidya i love you guys for not being fucking faggots

>i don't know what an axolotl/mudpuppy is
>>29603661
>post that the first seven starters are well-designed
>not contributing
I'm outdoing you, senpai. Swampert is ugly, over-laden with needless details, and double NERFed with a terrible color scheme.
Blaziken is a gross anthropomorph. This is the beginning of the radical design failure in Pokemon.
Sceptile isn't as terrible as the others, but it doesn't have any particularly redeeming feature either. It's an upright lizard with Trix Yogurt color scheme.

>>29602724
I actually wonder who would win. This is the first time I can remember a grass starter being able to beat a fire one.

>Totodile

>Turtwig
>Oshawott
>Fenniken
>more than likely I will go for Popplio
>>29603673
Please don't start shit, this thread is going great
>>29603742
I also like sceptile, he's really cool
>>29603773
>aoxotl
How could I possibly miss the resemblance?
If this is really what GameFreak was going for then the final form is indefensible.
>ctrl+f
>No Serperior
Let's fix that.
Next favorite are Torterra, Primarina and Sceptile.
There hasn't really been any fire starters I'm particularly fond of.
>>29603811
I think Incineroar would.
In the end, I think it will go to "whoever goes first", like half the damn game.
>>29602748
>>29602795
>>29602887
>>29602913
my fucking bros
>>29603842
Huh... now that i look at swampert, holy fuck it's eerily identical to an aoxotl
Also does anyone know where to find a version of this without the deviantart watermark? i really like this image it's cool as fuck
>>29603824
Are you me? Literally the same water starters lol
But I've chosen Chimchar and Chespin instead
>>29603851
I agree
MORE SERPERIORi also need more for my collection...
I wanted to post this.
>>29603711
yeah it i hard. I'll add on to the list to make myself feel better
venassaur, gastoise, charitard, megaynium, byephlosion, feralitraitor, septicile, blazisin, swampdirt, snoreterra, infercrap, empooleon, sirsmearier, embutt, samarotten, chesNOT, delfarts, grenigger, decidusigh, incinebore, poopmaid
>>29603989

Christ the diabetes. I can't handle it.
Make way for the best starter
Now in wallpaper format

>>29604661
>YA STUPID IDIOT
>>29603824
I've always chosen Grass and Water starters, the one one exemption was Cyndaquil, that guy is my buddy
>>29602760
Really? because it's literally nothing.more
It's late, but here's a dumb pic I made for a guy on Halloween.
Gen 7 was a disappointment for me, but this month changed a lot of things. Now it isn't the gen with the worst designs anymore, thanks to the starters and a few more lines. It could be a lot better though, the number of Pokemon that don't evolve is stupid, and the low ammount of three-stage lines is worse.
At least I found my new favorite starter, I may end up using all three
>>29604891
I'm not even sure what starter I'm choosing, I'm leaning towards Rowlet but I like what Litten becomes later on.
>>29603842
> not knowing this from the start
>>29604882
Whoops, meant to post full version.
Question time:
Is your favorite Pokemon a starter?
Separate but possibly related question:
Did you have a favorite Pokemon that wasn't a starter, but then was replaced by one?
>>29604891
Primarina completely sold me on the Popplio line. I didn't even hate the little shit when we only had litten/pop/rowl as knowledge, but Litten is vastly superior..
but then they showed the third stage evos..
Just fuck. It was no contest.
>tfw there are no group shots of the first to the seventh gen starters
Alternatively, I suck at finding it.
>>29604986
Snorlax from Gen I to II. Sceptile 'replaced' it but shid I just like Pokemon.
>>29604994
Why not both?I know it's misspelled
>>29605039
I mean I'll have all 3 eventually, but I'm only playing through this thing once and Primarina is gorgeous. Just miles above the other choices for me so Popplio is my go-to.
>>29604986
>Is your favorite Pokemon a starter?
Are penguins awesome?
>Did you have a favorite Pokemon that wasn't a starter, but then was replaced by one?
Nah, Heracross is still my fave.
Though I guess it helps that I consider starters and normal 'mons as separate.
>>29604986
Well, I have 5 or 6 Pokemon that constantly swap places for my favorite. 2 of them are starters (Primarina and Empoleon). I don't think I can choose a single favorite
>>29602643
Can we agree that this is one of the 21 best starters?
>>29603811
Honestly its pretty much given to Incineroar, most likely he outspeeds Chesnaught.Incineroar grew on me, I might actually pick him up instead of robinhoot.
>>29604463
Chesnaught a best, just give him his shiny and a decent idle stance and he looks way better.
>>29603567
> fire monkey
> gen the third
>>29604986
well sceptile is close to a favorite, but it's hard to beat my cutie sally-poo (salamence)
>>29604000
>not penisaur
You can just off yourself, you've failed at one of the most basic things.
>>29604986
I flip flop between Chesnaught and Scrafty alot, with my next favorite being Garchomp. I'm >>29605183 >>29602724 anon.
This little one is growing on me, no love for him in this thread
>>29604463
Well of course you should, those two raging faggots who shit on chesnaught non-stop are just either butthurt that they didn't get some ridiculous shit they wanted, or just looking for attention
Pic unrelated because i don't have enough chesnaught....
>>29605311
His mom got a lot of love this thread, or so i think, so that counts for something
>>29605319
I love how Decidueye is a manlet it's really funny
>>29605269
FUCK HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THAT
>>29605319
threesome?
>>29605423
ANON!
there are children present in that picture!
>>29605423But how did she give birth to all three at the same time? double penetration? Maybe the owl is a gurl too
>>29603451
Always loved this kind of fanart where they group the first stages of all the starters of the same type.
Hope there is some new ones with the alolan mons.
>>29605149
I love Torterra. He's great.
>>29605183
Incineroar has grown on me as well. He seems cocky in a way I think I can appreciate.
>>29604010
Is there one for litten?
>>29603567
>>29603031
>I can't handle any criticism or hurt feelings
-t. fragile millennial
>>29605821
I don't know, I saved these form a Japanese artist on Twitter, and they had only made these two. I'll check tomorrow
>>29603811
fucking mega blaziken can't OHKO him, just use spiky shield the first turn and go for hammer arm the next one
This seems like a fun thread to post in
It all returns to Emboar
>>29604986
My love of Swampert almost sneaked up on me.
I used to think that my favorite was Dragonite or something until I tried to imagine me having a real Pokemon team, and the only Pokemon I couldn't imagine not having was Swampert.
He's been my best bro ever since, and it always feels wrong to not use him when he's available.
>>29603303
Gen VI's theme continued. We now have:
>Warrior
>Archer
>Mage
>Barbarian
>Rogue
>Bard
Most underrated Startermons. Where my Unova boys at? Are you:
>Wotterbro
>Smugbro
>Pigbro
>>29604986
>Is your favorite Pokemon a starter?
Absolutely.
>Did you have a favorite Pokemon that wasn't a starter, but then was replaced by one?
I didn't really have a strong favorite until Delphox happened. There were a lot of Pokémon that I liked, but none that was definitely the favorite.
>>29605183
>decent idle stance
Delphox could use one, too.
>>29607057
Emboar is a bro.
>>29603340
>>29603451
>>29603656
These are the only pictures of Chikorita in this entire thread. Worse, this post will be the first instance of someone mentionning any member of that line.
No matter how hard your life is, it's not as hard as the Chiko.
>>29607273
>>29602870
>decent amount of Brionne/Dewott and Primarina/Samurott art already
>still no Incineroar/Delphox
Looks like I'm going to have to start saving up so I can commission.
>>29607490
>>29607539
You're right, I should have specified that I was talking about cute art.
>>29603678
I agree but I also love the Bulbasaur line, and Empoleon deserves a mention.
Cyndaquil best qtest starter though.
>>29603247
I'd go with
7th/4th gen
3rd gen
2nd gen
6th gen
1st gen
5th gen
My top 3
My favourite starter is Swampert. Brionne is second
My favorite is the smug snek.
Pokemon mystery dungeon made me like this little guy so much. I played that game like 10 times and I'd always get machop or mudkip on the quiz and take cyndaquil as my partner, and anyone that has played that game will know how emotional it gets.
Hey
>>29603659
This person HAS to be underage.
Where are my cannonfags at?
Also, I think this is the first gen I like all of the final starters the same.
I wasn't sure about Incineroar because I wanted a "serious-cat" evo for Litten, but his poses as a heel in the last video were great, and I don't even like wrestling.
Now I don't know which one to pick.
<3 Water starters
>>29607057
Do you think all the yellow in each the designs is deliberate?
>>29605032
blaziken underrated here
>some dbz pose
>>29615915
Best type
I feel Emboar mostly gets a bad rep because it was the third in the line of fire fighting starters, and had he been first or second, maybe it wouldnt be so hated.
Either way its my personal favorite fire type, as I tend to lean towards bulky heavy hitting looking mons, and Blaziken and Infernape never seemed to do it for me (though ive grown to appreciate all three).
Still I dont blame people for disliking the 5th gen starters as a whole. They didnt do much for interesting types. Still im glad to see everyone getting along instead of being at each others throats over "best starter" shitposting like it usually is.
>>29620772
Honestly, as a fire-type lover who doesn't mind the fighting type, my biggest gripe with Emboar has always been its lack of a neck. While pigs don't have the most prominent necks in the world, their heads also don't sit at that angle.
>>29604177
I love that gif way too much
pic related, my two favorites
needs more swamp thing
>>29603196
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jm_eUQSYAk
i have boxed every starter since 1999 because they are all shit
>>29625152
Here's your (You)
Jusr curious, has any of you ever made a playthrough with all three starters?
>>29625492
Only in Yellow.
I've given every starter their own team to run through; playing with my preferred 2 in remakes.
Going through with Chikorita's line in Crystal was one of the hardest things to do.
>>29604986
torttera my nigga
he's my fucking dude
>>29622097
It may have a neck under that flame beard.
>>29602643
Incineroar is my new favorite starter, and probably my new favorite pokemon.
>>29602748
That's some solid taste right there.
>>29603567
Yeah, I think gen 2 would put anyone off the concept of starters. It's a shame, cuz you missed some great ones.
>>29604986
Sceptile's my number 1 mon. Hoping for buffs going into gen 7, but as someone who's been playing since gen 1 I've learned not to expect nice things for Grass types.
>>29607007
Gen 1 is
Shaman
Dragoon
Gunner
>there are 63 pokemon in starter pokemon evolution families
Any reason why starters are so wow rare in game? Like finding them in another region
>>29629744
Because gamefreak ain't stupid enough to remove what makes starters special
you can find them in the wild in the anime
