Forums → Games → the type of pokemon you choose in the beginning

depends. Ive only played sinnoh and kanto. i chose bulbasaur and chimchar.

i choose the pokemon i like the best out of the three not the type (usually the one i find the cutest XP)

overall... grass is the best out of them i guess since there are SOOOOO many water types and almost NO fire types.

oh yeah i forgot to say which one i always choose:

charmander
cindyquill (idk how to spell it. i play the german versions of pokemon)
mudkip
the penguin (i forgot his name in english... again i only play the german versions...)

I've picked water in pretty much every game where I've had the choice. I don't really know why, it just seems to always have the coolest pokemon.

I usually just choose the one that looks the best.

i chose everytime the water starter pokemon because it can learn ice ray and thats effective against plant-type pokemons. or fire if it can learn thunder punch.

ahem.

Charmander

Charmander

Charmander

CHARMANDER.


Even if it's not a Kanto game I will import a Charmander. There's a reason Charizard won IGN's #1 Pokemon, SOOOOO AWESOOOOOME!!! The hard work one has to put into to defeat the ever-Rock first gym as a fighting type truly defines how fire-starter players like to play, hardy and ready for any challenge.

-Chillz's username is a contradiction

I usually pick the fire, just because there are so few good fire pokemon available at the beginning of the game. If not then grass because its hard to find a GOOD grass pokemon (oddish doesnt get the job done). And you always can get a good water guy. Go catch a magikarp and suffer through the first 26 levels. Its worth the pain. Go Typhlosion!

Lessee. Charmander, Cyndaquil, any of the three third gens, Turtwig, Oshawott.
So leaning slightly towards fire. Considering how hard it can be to find a good alternative for a fire critter... Yeah, that works. (Although Rapidash served me excellently in Platinum.)

(oddish doesnt get the job done)

I took Squirtle when I played Blue, little critter was almost a one man show in taking down the entire Elite Four by itself, along with my Kadabra.

I took the grass type when I played Gold, I forgot the cute things name. Was a decent Pokemon, but had too many weaknesses.

Also, Torchic when I played Emerald/Sapphire since it could take out more than half of the Elite Four by itself. And I like birds that burst into flames.

I have used fire in every game, except emerald, where I used Mudkip. That's the only case my first run starter not being a fire type.

i hve chose different between games and gens here is what i chose so far
Gold:Cynaquil
Leafgreen:Charmander
Firered:Squirtle
Ruby:Treecko
Saphire:Mudkip
Emerald:Treecko
Pearl:Piplup
Pearl#2:Turtwig
Diamond:Chimchar
Platinum:Piplup
White:Oshawot
Black:Tepig
I prefer water but grass and fire types are sometimes better

oops cyndaquail and oshawott
