Your Favorite starter in your first game

Now I know in their game everyone would "LINK" to their starter and made them their favorite. So I made this topic! Enjoy and reply all you want! ;D

My favorite starter in Blue version... this is hard.
If I was serious with my journey then it'd be Bulbasaur but my favorite will have to go to Charmander. I would pick Squirtle, but Charmander and I have some connection going on, every mystery dungeon game I have played said I was a Charmander. ♥

Favorite starter in Blue version?

For me, it was Charmander. I remember playing when I was 8, enthralled by my adorable lizard that evolved into some crazy fire breathing flying majigger :>

Well, my favorite Starter in Silver is Cyndaquil. I don't know what the erf the little guy is supposed to be based on besides some sort of mouse, but he's pretty simple, yet he's awesome :D He proves that less is more.

I borrowed my friend's friend's Pokemon Emerald, and loved Mudkip. I used him all the time and didn't catch anything else. Now he also has a special space in my PokeHeart, with Slowpoke. :3

My favourite starter from LeafGreen...

erk...err...umm.. :-[ I dunno.. I think it would have to be Squirtle~
That adorable little water turtle is underrated and needs love ♥

He has a great moveset and powerful final evolution, much like the rest of them<3

My first game was Pokemon Red, and I definitely did grow strongly attached to my first starter - Bulbasaur. Ever since Pokemon Red, Bulbasaur/Ivysaur have been part of my top favourites. Heck, the first Pokemon fanfic I ever wrote AAAAAAGES ago had me traveling with a Bulbasaur. ^^

my very first game was the pokemon firered version.in my first attempt,i have chosen squirtle as my starter,and idk why.but as i progressed through the entire game,and learn all of the movesets and used the three of the kanto starters,i realized my favorite was bulbasaur. I guess I turned to like Bulbasaur because of it's peaceful and quiet- type looking pokemon to me,and probably being the nature of grass types as peaceful pokemon,like Ash's Bulbasaur and Turtwig. Ever since, I remained a bulbasaur fanatic of my own,even having a sticker of bulbasaur on my game boy advance just to remind me of its beauty and toughness in a peaceful hear of my favorite Bulbasaur.. ♥

my first game...well, I got Red and Yellow at the same time, but I had played Red before. My starter was Charmander, and it will forever reign as my first memory of Kanto...nay, of Pokemon~

My first handheld game was Sapphire. Torchic was the clear winner for me - I thought it was adorable and it had an awesome evolution - Blaziken.

In Leafgreen...tough decision.

My original starter was Bulbasaur, which I named Oswald ♥ But after deleting that save file, and crying my eyes out from losing Oswald, I started again and chose Squirtle.

I had a nice time with my sweet little Bobo until I reached the same problem that made me start over before: Lorelei. She made me go poor before, and she did it again D:

Then I got little Casee on my Nuzlocke run ♥ I love her too, but she still wasn't my favorite.

I lke all of them pretty much the same. Sure, they all have their strong and weak points, but it's just so hard chosing favorites~! But, after winning by a tiny bit, Squirtle took the lead and won~! I loved Bobo's design and his cuteness ♥ Evolving into a giant turtle with guns for shoulders helps too~

My favorite starter in my first game...

Technically the first Pokemon game I played was Yellow, but that doesn't count for multiple reasons. Silver was the first main series game that I finished, and my favorite starter from there was definitely Totodile. For some reason I think Cyndaquil used to be my favorite because my cousin had one...which is ironic because I don't really like Cyndaquil now. I picked Totodile and I ended up falling in love with it ♥

I think I had Red before I had Crystal. In Red I chose Charmander and didn't let Brock bring me down! And In Crystal It was Cyndaquil that started me off. My sister had her own game running so I could never keep my little Cynda D= But once (when she actually let me keep this file (I think)) I managed to get to Typhlosion! My first though was that he looked like a walking pillowcase >>

Believe it or not, I never actually HAD Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald, despite my name.

Well, since my first one was Gold... Gosh, this is hard. I usually picked Cyndaquil 'cause I love that little mouse thingy, but I have also started to have a liking against Chikorita (well, mainly Bayleef but you undretsand my point). Hmm, I think I'm gonna say Cyndaquil after all. When my first Cyndaquil became a Typhlosion I looooved (♥) him so bad. He and I created a bond, and I even leveled him up to level 100 (impressive if you know me, since I get bored sooooo fast). All my other Pokés, except perhaps Ho-Oh and Furret, was very underleveled but I'm not to blame since I was only like 6 or something.

Ahh Emerald.. those were the days..
My favorite starter in that game (and probably of all time) is definitely Mudkip. I named it Fishnchips, and it was always with me. I loved it so much that I still continue to use it in Platinum as a vital part of my Wi-Fi battles team. Oh dear Mudkip, I love you so...

To be perfectly honest, I started Red with a Bulbasaur, but when I saw what a hideous beast it evolved into, my seven year old mind thought 'SCREW THIS!', so I carelessly deleted hours of work and started again with a Charmander because it kept kicking my @$$ when Gary used it. Also, I thought it looked AWESOME. =D

supersnivy

My first starter was bulbasaur in fire red but it wasn't my favorite then I got emerald and fell in love with treeco so I migrated it to platnum where my turtwig was but I lost platnum to a lawn mower :'( so I my over all favorite is snivy I mean its cool smart speedy and strong but I will never forget treeco :(

Magearna before it was cool
My first and favorite starter is, and will always be, the Squirtle I had in Pokemon blue. Been sticking with water types ever since then.

Surprisingly, for the huge fan of the grass-type that I am, my first ever starter in my first ever game, Red, was Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard. There was just something rather awesome about the thought of commanding a majestic, winged fire-breathing dragon... thingy to the younger me.

These days I'm neutral on Charizard. I like the way it looks in my head (which is much less pot-belly-derpy-looking) but it's hardly one of my favorite starters. My favorite Gen 1 starter these days is Bulbasaur/Ivysaur (I'm a bit eh on Venusaur's appearance, but it still kicks arse anyway) - even though these days I wouldn't touch the original Gen 1 games with a ten foot pole. XD

Wow... Back In 2005, My Friend Let Me Have His Emerald, Which Was My First Pokemon Game, And I Picked Torchic Because I Like Fire. And Instantly I Was Hooked! I Would Recommend That Pokemon As A Good Starter For Its Stats, Appearence, And Evoloution.

Blaziken for the win!
Silver was my first game.I was extremely young ,like 4 or 5 years old ,when I started Pokemon ,back when you could still buy a Gameboy Color outside of Ebay. I played through a few times and I have to say my favorite starter was Chickorita. I found it a more "pleasent" experience (CURSE YOU FALKNER ,CURSE YOU BUGSY ,AND CURSE YOU PRYCE AND YOUR GRASS KILLING POWERS)

My fave starter is Cyndaquil. I love him! When I started Silver, Gold, and Soulsilver (no Heartgold :p) I always started with him. Typhlosion is now part of my awesome team of lv. 100's.

Blue version was my very first game, i chose Squirtle...and though my favourite is Blastoise, my favourite 'starter' would have to be Bulbasaur.
