Best and Worst Starters

[magic1636]

So in your opinion who has been the best and worst of the starters. For me the Best would go to Charmander, he was was first starter that I ever choose in the series. As far as the worst I would go with Chikorita, I have just never been a fan.

 

[Kaguya]

If it's battle comparison..
Best : Mudkip
Worst : Chikorita (I don't hate it though.)

 

[Kite Austin]

Best: treeko
Worst:the 4th gen fire starter (forgot his name)

 

[Scarlet Devil]

Best: for me, it's a tough choice between Charmander and Mudkip... but, I'm going with Muddy(Mudkip) cause their awesome :3
Worst: Hmm.... Sorry, but I'm gonna have to go with Piplup ^^;; (NEVER cared for that thing)

 

[MetalGearOmega]

Best: Turtwig (only because of Torterra though). Otherwise, Mudkip.
Worst: Chimchar.

 

[Our Wasted Years]

Best: Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Totodile, Mudkip, Treeco, Chimcar.
Worst: Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Pinplup, Turtwig.
Neutral: Chikorita :|

 

[Cybersai]

I never liked Turtwig's design. The whole thing came off as a less interesting version of Bulbasaur. I do like its evo's though.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Best: Mudkip, Charmander, Chimchar, Piplup, Turtwig, Torchic
Worst: Chikorita, Bulbasaur

 

[BBHood]

Best: Charmander, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Mudkip, Treecko, and Chimchar
Middle: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Turtwig, and Piplup
Worst: Chikorita, Torchic

 

[revolvingscott]

Best: Chikorita

Worst: All of Hoenn/Sinnoh but Torchic.

 

[Luiie]

Best ;; Cyndaquil
Worse ;; Chimchar (lame wanna be tortchic) bitch please. ;D

 

[Magmortar123]

best- chimchar

worst- bulbasaur or sqirtle although their evos are cool

 

[Envoy]

Best: Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig, Squirtle, Torchic, Totodile, Piplup

Worst: Charmander, Cyndaquil, Mudkip

Just plain awful: the monkey (not even worth naming)

Of course, this is just my opinion. Competitively speaking, the best are probably Swampert, Empoleon and the monkey with the worst being Meganium, Typhlosion and Charizard (yes, Charizad) as nobody ever uses them (that's why they're in the Never Used tier)

 

[Falconwing]

Hmm... best... and worst.

Worst: Chikorita
Best: Anything that isn't Chikorita... Nah, it's hard to say. I really am torn between Mudkip, Torchic/Chimchar (same thing really), Turtwig, and Charizard. all of them have great pros and cons. I suppose I have to say Torchic/Chimchar. Not only is fire/fighting an awesome combination, it gives me the reason to name something C. Falcon.

 

[Dopey]

BEST: Got to be Blaziken. Excellent offensive type combo, Good move compatibility, learns counter water and Flying moves, and, most importantly, sweeps the R/S Elite 4 with ease.

WORST: Idk all starters are excellent, but maybe Feraligatr since in the GSC days he just didn't have the moves and stats(Water, Ice being special, and EQ/Rock Slide gets no STAB) to be an excellent pokemon overall.

 

[7487857]

Best: Squirtle and Charmander
Worst: Pretty much anything from generation 3 and 4 is awful, especially the monkey and the penguin...

 

[Zoe]

i hate all the starter lol

 

[aquaflute]

Best: Chikorita (that thing and its evos are just adorable)
Worst: Turtwig (well, we already have a turtle, I'm sure there are cooler ideas for a grass starter)

 

[ShinyFlareon]

Competitively
Best: Chimchar, Piplup, Mudkip
Worst: Cyndaquil, Charmander

My Prefrences
Best: Charmander, Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Chikorita, Treeko, Torchic
Worst: Mudkip, Piplup

 

[Mostly Harmless]

BEST: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Charmander
WORST: GENERATION 4. I'm sorry, but those were just despicable "Pokemon". Never will I hold any love for them.
