Blastoise, I guess.
 
I like all three Gen2 starters. If I had to choose, probably Typhlosion.
 
Swampert, definitely.
 
Empoleon.
 
Yeah, the Gen5 starters were pretty meh. Samurott’s alright, though.
 
Chesnaught (needs more love).
 
Haven’t decided yet. Probably the first gen where all three are overhyped.

“Howdy partner, I reckon you’ll about to mosey on onto the Austen Region. Name’s Pecan, Professor Pecan. I study human and Pokemon interaction. Pokemon like this one here (lets out an Eevee) Eyup… ya can find every Pokemon out there in Austen. So tell me partner which one of these photos is the right one, (Character Select) and What do you call yourself? (enter name) YEAHHAAAA! See ya soon partner!
 
We find out later she’s actually shy and uses the persona to speak in public.

Such grace and beauty.  
 
 

Oh, we’re doing this? Let me try.
 
Gen 1:  
I’ve been all over the board with this guy. First he was my favourite, then my least favourite, and now back on top again. Though that’s mostly because I really like both of his megas. Blastoise is close second, though.
 
Gen 2:  
Truth be told, even though Gen 2 was my first, I never liked its starters all that much. Never got a Feraligatr, though I can acknowledge it as the competetively best of the three. Typhlosion was my pick for most of my runs, but I always saw it as a downgrade designwise from Quilava (which is so cute and adorable oh my God). For nostalgia sake, I’ll go Meganium. I know it’s shit combat-wise, but it has my favourite design and was my first ever Pokemon. Quilava for second place. Just look at it.  

 
Gen 3:  
Definitely a favourite of mine, though I’m still mad at Gamefreak for giving him Special stats and Physical movepool.
 
Gen 4:  
The MVP of my Platinum runs. I love this thing, and the 3DS animations only enforced that feeling.
 
Gen 5:  
It may be not be the best, but I always liked Samurott overall. There’s just something about it. Second place for Serperior, if only for being really good competetively.
 
Gen 6:  
I liked it from the very beginning (come on, it’s a ninja frog!), and then came Protean, Smash, anime, special transformation…a lot to love there. Though I still have a soft spot for Chesnaught.
 
Gen 7:  
I stood by Popplio from the start, and was rewarded with this beauty of a Pokemon. Looks great, is a beast in battle, and the fan art is…eye catching. Now GF please give her Boomburst to make some use of that unique Ability. That or Calm Mind with some recovery option.

So…no one has any event berries to spare in Gen 6? 😯

@HighRollerHydra
 
I don’t think I know what the event berries are?

Gen 1 My first ever choice was Bulbasaur but these days I only choose Charmander because it looked adorable.
 
Gen 2 Quilava I love how Quilava looks that’s all really.
 
Gen 3 Combusken
 
Gen 4 Infernape though I find the 4 starters eh design wise.
 
Gen 5 Dewott looked badass :D
 
Gen 6 Greninja
 
Gen 7 I would have gone with Rowlett but settled for Popollio in the end since my brother wanted the Owl. Litten’s final form was a deal breaker for me. I just didn’t like its design.

Ya’ll made me realize I never explained why I like my fave starters. Oh well, I’ll do that now.
 

 
Charmander was one of the first Pokemon I truly loved, along with Meowth. I loved seeing it in the anime (and wished it didn’t evolve so fast…) I carried a Charmander plush everywhere (still have it) always kept choosing it in every game I could because I loved it so much. Charmander evolving into a dragon looking Pokemon was just a bonus, with as much as I love Charizard too, Charmander is the reason why, nothing about popularity or some such bullshit.  

 
I didn’t really know what starter to choose when I first got Pokemon Gold, I just kept restarting the game that day and picking each starter over and over, I don’t know who I settled on that first time, but I knew eventually that Totodile was my favorite. I remember getting a pack of Pokemon TCG cards from the Neo Genesis set and getting a Croconaw card, thinking it was the best thing ever, because I’m easily pleased, you see. By then I knew Totodile was my fave of the three.  

 
I first saw Treecko in a magazine before it even had an english name, so I just knew it as it’s japanese name for a short while, Kimori. I saw Kimori’s artwork and was blown away by how much I liked it, and I instantly knew then it would be my starter before I even could play the game. I also remember seeing a screenshot with a Grovyle in it and I didn’t know Kimori evolved into that, I just saw a cool leaf dinosaur and thought it was a legendary, imagine how amazed I was when Treecko evolved into that. Plus, Treecko was the first Grass type I actually decided to give attention to and made me appreciate them. Forever my favorite starter.  

 
Kinda like Treecko, I knew of Piplup at first by it’s Japanese name before the games were even released in Japan (Pochama, which I still prefer, along with it’s Japanese anime voice…) and I’d wanted a penguin Pokemon for years at that point, so I was so happy to see one as a starter! It helped that at around 2006 I had a mini penguin obsession so Pochama helped fuel that. The Sinnoh games aren’t even close to my faves, but I’ll still always pick Piplup (If I don’t pick Turtwig).  

 
The story of the Unova starters early popularity is probably more well known, Smugleaf was my early favorite as it’s a grass snake and by then I knew I liked a lot of grass types. It helps that I think Serperior is gorgeous. Too bad it’s movepool is rather limited (Fuck you, Emboar in stealing all the good moves that gen) but I still manage to have fun with it, like the snake-pokemon exclusive moves Coil and Glare. I really want a life sized Snivy plush  

 
As par for the course of most of these, Fennekin was an early favorite and I have little else to add. Adorable and awesome. I like mine to be male because I don’t really see anything explicitly female looking about it. I know witches and all but that doesn’t make it look any less gender neutral in my eyes. I held my Fennekin back from evolving for a few levels and then my Braixen as I just wanted to enjoy them for longer. Still love Delphox too.  

 
Litten was the early favorite again. In the end, I don’t like it’s final form all too much, but if you compare it to all the other musclebound Pokemon, Incineroar is one of the least terrible in my opinion, and I can’t say no to Litten. Basically, I can tolerate Incineroar and I don’t dislike it, I’d prefer it didn’t look like it did and I’m a bit disappointed it’s not more pleasing to my eyes, but I’d take it over Emboar or Infernape any day. I like Decidueye more as a final starter form, but Rowlet is just average to me.

I’m too lazy to put in pictures. X3

Cute

@Littlecabbit  
The ones that take the longest to grow.

@LR-Studios  
And yet many feel that it’s second evolution makes it look more than a bit emo. Chuckles

@EquestrianScholar  
Makes me think of something else.  

@Prof.NightJack  
Not surprised to see this, to be quite honest.

@EPPony  
Well there are even matching faces.  

I just have my personal reasons for needing berries that take 5 days to grow. That’s all you need to know.

@Prof.NightJack  
Love how Swellow is Phoenix while Misdreavus is Maya.

@EquestrianScholar  
That’s why I like it. :3

@EPPony
 
Same XD
