Here's mine. Wish I could get a chance to get Piplup in a future game so I could have Empoleon back in action.
>>31095331
>>31095374
so i herd u liek mudkipz?
>>31095316
While Charmander is not my first starter, it is the one I had on my team when I first became a Champion. I loved him.
I initially kept Charmander in Yellow because the sprite was cute as fuck, and it was the only Fire-type available at that point. It evolving into Charizard sealed the deal. Stuck with it ever since, even after SR became a thing.
>>31095316
Primarina is a mess
>>31095316
Wrong choice of colors, OP. Yellow should've been first, since it's the brightest, Red second and Green third.

>>31095316
I usually end up picking grass starters with the exception being gen 2 and 6
>>31095418
>Green = go, good, approval
>Red = stop, bad, disapproval
Yellow has always fallen in between the two in this regard. It just makes more intuitive sense that way.
>>31095486
Forgot to add that my absolute favorite starter(and favorite Pokemon in general) is Torterra
>>31095487
But they don't stand out. Every time I click an image, Yellow is the one I notice first, Red being second.
>>31095316
Popplio had the chance of taking the crown until Brionne and Primarina came along.
I like all 3 Sinnoh and Alola starters
>>31095316
Sorry but everything else is completely wrong.
Froakie is my favorite base form starter, but popplio has my favorite starter line overall. I don't really have a favourite gen 4 starter, and fennekin is probably my least favorite starter(base form) overall. Torchic and chikorita used to to be my favorite Hoenn and Johto starters, but blaziken was just too much of a leap aesthetically while meganium was just a really....bad in-game experience.
i dont hate any of the red ones
Haven't played Gen VI so it's only based on looks
extremely biased towards water types
Results ended up being more varied than I thought. I thought I was for the most part a firefag until I thought about it.
I'm a bit iffy on Charmander vs Squirtle and Chimchar vs Piplup. I don't really like any of the Gen 1 starters, but I like all the Gen 4's about the same.
I'm on my phone, so have a list instead.
>Gen 1:
1. Bulbasaur
2. Charmander
3. Squirtle
>Gen 2:
1. Totodile (overal fav)
2. Cyndaquil
3. Chikorita (still really like it tho)
>Gen 3:
1. Mudkip
2. Torchic
3. Treeko
>Gen 4:
1. Turtwig
2. Piplup
3. Chimchar
>Gen 5:
1. Snivy
2. Tepig
3. Oshawott
>Gen 6:
1. Froakie
2. Chespin
3. Fennekin
>Gen 7 (ugh):
1. Rowlett
2. Litten
3. Popplio
>>31095630
Shit, forgot the image
Usually a grassfag, been some expections though, overal froakie is probably the favorite, I played SM with litten, but the third evo just made me too uncomfortable
...
Gen I
1. Charmander (my favourite starter)
2. Bulbasaur (I appreciate it more now that I am older)
3. Squirtle (I like Squirtle, but not its evolutions)
Gen II
1. Totodile
2. Cyndaquil
3. Chikorita (cute, but it like the others better)
Gen III
1. Treecko
2. Mudkip
3. Torchic
Gen IV (the three of them are perfect)
1. Turtwig
2. Piplup
3. Chimchar
Gen V
1. Snivy (I wish it had a secondary type)
2. Tepig
3. Oshawott (horrible evolutions)
Gen VI
1. Froakie (one of the best starters)
2. Fennekin
3. Chespin (ugly evolutions)
Gen VII
1. Rowlett (it is perfect)
2. Litten
3. Popplio (bad evolutions)
I never really had any preference for the gen 3 and 6 starters, but when the megas came out I found I liked Swampert's the most, and Delphox has a very uncommon type combination.
Is my taste bad?
i don't hate any of the starters, honestly
>>31095806
>>31095592
>>31095463
good taste, lads
Picked two for 2nd choice in 1st gen because I picked Bulbasaur and Charmander equally.
>>31095868
Your MS Paint skills are
>>31095897
My favourite is Squirtle as well.
>>31095316
Not enough Penguin representation here.
Also, Turtwig is my second favorite starter, so gen 4 has my favorite starters overall.
anyone who picked treecko as first choice, just gtfo
try playing RSE with it, i dare you. most useless starter ever
>>31095316
>>31095316
>>31096656
Ah fug, I forgot my favorite starter overall. It's Turtwig.
Normally biased towards waters, the mono waters are all kinda boring to me though. Gen 3 is my fav trio, and it's hard having to pick which one I prefer.
here's mine.
This is the objectively right one. Kinda sad that they stopped making starters since Gen 3.
Used to pick the Fire starter always, but they've been ok to why since Gen 4. The only 3rd choices I really dislike are Emboar, Chesnaught and Primarina. Venasaur is meh, Meganium is fine, Sceptile is great but so are Swampert and Blaziken and Torterra is fine.
>>31095316
Charmander>Bulbasaur>Squirtle
Cyndaquil>Totodile>Chikorita
Treecko>Mudkip>Torchic
Turtwig>Chimchar>Piplup
Snivy>Oshawott>Tepig
Froakie>Chespin>Fennekin
Litten>Rowlet>Popplio
Overall favorite: Froakie
I like alot more water starters than I thought that I did.
can we have a 2nd and 3rd stage version?
>>31095316
Just because a starter is my third choice doesn't mean I dislike them. I like all of them pretty much except for Tepig. Bulbasaur and Chikorita are average
>>31096536
You're kind of exaggerating. Treecko takes a little while to get going, but it isn't awful. Plus, when you get leaf blade (the best gen 3 starter signature move) the rest of the game's pretty easy. Doesn't hurt that a big iguana with a tree for a tail is way cooler than a chicken in bell bottom pants and a fisher price mudpuppy.
>>31095396
BROTHER
>>31097024
It was actually pretty hard to pick between gen 3 since I like all of them.
superior taste coming through
>>31095316
Mostly based on final evolutions. Rowlet was my pick until I saw his final evolution. I also love all three Gen 4 starters, but Turtwig edges out just a bit.
>>31097050
first of all, muddy waters is the best signature move of the 3 starters in gen 3
second, leaf blade just sucks humongous ass and exposes the problem with sceptile. he has stats for being a special attacker, but only learns attacks.
totally useless
Phone, so here goes (rate my taste)
>Gen 1
Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander
>Gen 2
Cyndaquil (fave), Totodile, Chikorita
>Gen 3
Mudkip, Torchic, Treecko
>Gen 4
Chimchar, Piplup, Turtwig
>Gen 5
Oshawott, Tepig, Snivy
>Gen 6
Froakie, Chespin, Fennekin
>Gen 7
Rowlet, Popplio, Litten
>>31097160
In Gen 3 Leaf Blade was special
P/S split really nerfed the fuck out of Sceptile
>>31095754
Pure shit tastes
water type a shit
>>31096536
I played all three games with treecko as a starter when I was a kid, are you mad ?
>>31095471
Based on your tastes, I would guess you are female. Am I correct?
Kanto:
>Chamander
>Squirtle
>Bulbasaur
Johto:
>Cyndaquil
>Totodile
>Chikorita
Hoenn:
>Mudkip
>Treecko
>Torchic
Sinnoh:
>Piplup
>Chimchar
>Turtwig
Unova:
>Oshawott
>Snivy
>Tepig
Kalos:
>Chespin
>Fennekin
>Froakie
Alola:
>Litten
>Rowlet and Brionne are tied
Funny how my most beloved and my most hated starter are from the same games. God I hate Grenigger.
>>31098118
Forgot favorite, it is Infernape.
>>31095316
>>31095316
turtwig best starter.
>>31097948
Hey
That's pretty good
>>31098220
>Treeco
>Best
Holy shit you're dumb
>>31095316
I still like most of the third options, especially Tepig, TurtwigC and Fennekin.
>>31095316
I'm not sure how I'd rank the other Kalos starters. Delphox's wizard theme is kinda cool, but it's kind of a shitmon. Chesnaught's HA is kind of cool, but it's also pretty much a shitmon. There's no Z game so I'm not sure which one I would've picked instead of Froakie.
>>31098311
Forgot pic, sorry.
>>31095316
;)
>>31095316
>>31095415
It really isn't. It's design is solid and it accomplishes exactly what it meant to do. You just don't like it.
Welcome to tasteville.
>>31095316
Chimchar and Popplio are my favorites (Although I prefer Chimchar), and the rest should be self explanitory.
I filled it in about an hour ago and never posted
Anyone else hasn't felt a thing for their starter mon since gen IV? Gen V was so lackluster and Gens VI and VII were pretty boring too. Also, what's with the "people" thing they're forcing? I wanna battle using animals, no people. Pokemon isn't supposed to be an MMORPG.
Jesus, people really don't like treecko here. Not sure if they're underages who never played the original RSE games (when leaf blade was special) or just never tried the coolest Hoenn starter.
Filled in stars are my favorites of that type.
I really like all of the Gen 1 and 2 starters. Until Litten came along, Cyndaquil was my favorite Fire Type starter.
[Trigger Warning]
>>31099951
>Not sure if they're underages who never played the original RSE games
That's what /vp/ IS, my friend.
>>31095316
>and
>>31099951
I'm >>31100608, I put Treecko as 3rd but I still really like it.
I actually picked Treecko first in Sapphire when it came out, but for whatever reason I didn't like it back then and restarted with Torchic. As I've gotten older, I've started to appreciate Sceptile more and more. I did Mystery Egg runs for both AS and OR, so I didn't use my started in either game, but I wanna use Treecko as my mega in a monograss run.
>>31095316
R8 me and H8 me if you want.
r8 m80s
>>31101004
shit taste
youre suppose to like rowlet and bulbasaur
>>31101078
pig shouldnt be green should be red
I don't dislike any of the Gen 1, 3 or 4 starters really, they're all great, but it forced me to choose.
Gens 1 - 4 & 7: I like all the starters and their final stages.
Gens 5 and 6: I like Snivy's line and Froakie's line and am indifferent to everything else, except Quilladin and Pignite, those can rot.
>>31095415
shit taste confirmed desu senpai
>>31098602
accomplishes what? a starving seal in drag?
>>31095316
Grass a best
>>31095316
I based it on their final forms, the problem is for gen 1 I actually like all 3 starters and it's literally a pick at random for what one I choose whenever I play gen 1 games (or it depends on what pokemon I want to train, basically they all have an equal chance of getting picked so I pute the colours in based on which of their types I like the most.)
>>31096851
>the man with objective facts is once again faded in thread
What a shame. For the record, you had the correct answers.
>>31095316
mainly decided by their final evos
(eg. I like Treecko more than Torchic but karate inferno chicken > literally everything but Lord Fug)
I know I have shit taste.
For Gen 4 I like all the starters equally though and for gen 3 I dislike all the starters. I don't know why, but they tip me off in the wrong way. 7th Gen is comlletely biased towards the final evos. Otherwise, it's be Popplio, Rowlet, and then Litten. I love the grass starters even though they are all garbage competitively.
>>31095598
Same I feel like they are the only gens where all the starters look good.
Gen I and III were the toughest decisions. I like all of those starters about the same. Most other gens had a clear 3rd favorite.
>>31095374
me and you could not be friends.
i based it off of first stage pokes.
>>31105883
blarg
Popplio is adorable as hell, its second evolution is also cute, and the final evolution I find both pretty and cute.
Litten line became my favorite because I'm a crazy cat dude in real life.
I really like Incineroar's overall design, being bipedal doesn't bug me. I'm just annoyed he has human hands instead of cat paws as appropriate.
I liked grass types a lot more than I expected.
>>31095316
Totodile is my bro.
I don't really care for the gen IV starters.
>>31095316
>>31095316
>>31105743
What's your liking with Chespin?
Curious.
I'm on mobile, so I played with some apps a bit.
Fire is my favorite type.
Water has, in my opinion, the best looking starters. As well as evolution line.
Grass has... Uh... Grass just is unappealing to me. Treeko is the only grass starter I like.
>>31095316
infernape is bae
>>31095316
Yeah, not much to say. Fuck Chimchar and fuck Froakie.
>>31106121
>all water up until 7
>chooses grass
You fucking traitor.
>>31100660
Your opinions are shit and you can't even fill out the chart properly
here's your (You)
>>31095316
The only starter you ever need is Bulbasaur. Every starter that came after him sucked dick. Charmander is a gay ass lizard and squirtshit is outclassed by every other water type in gen 1 in one way or another.
Grass has the most manly looking starters. Except chickorita. Fuck him he sucks and is the worst starter ever.
popplio is the dumbest looking shit in this picture
>>31095612
What is it with your absolutely filthy taste, anon?
>>31109093
Of course an owlfag would say that.
>>31109765
don't get me wrong, i love primarina. i just don't like popplio
