Which starter Pokemon did you pick and why?

[Ryujin]

I picked Typhlosion because of its ability to learn a LOT of moves.

 

[Light Fang]

Blaziken... I liked it and it turned about to be my perfect match.

 

[Muddy:3]

I always pick water,, i think theyre always the cutest:3

 

[sonic10158]

I trade to get ALL of them. Water comes first though

 

[GatoRage]

Wait, what game are we talking about here...?

 

[DarkLordKitten]

Bulbasaur and Chikorita because it has a good design

Torchic because I dont like the other Gen 3 Starters

Piplup because I was thinking strategically bue to the fact Empoleon is a Water/Steel type

Snivy because its a snake-based pokemon

 

[Ryujin]

@GatoRage
any game really

 

[muraki_sensei]

When I played red/blue back in college I chose charmander because I wanted charizard due to the fact I like dragons.
I never played gen 2 and only got back into playing pokemon when gen IV came out.. however I have a copy of emerald and I picked torchic because I generally prefer fire types to grass and water and I like Blaziken a lot, but swampert is a very very close second.
For platinum I chose chimcharr as I think it's adorably cute and I like the combination of fire/fighting although I feel having it three times in a row is a bit boring I actually do not like gen Vs fire starter tepig at all.
On my copy of HG I chose Totodile for a rather silly reason... my partner at the time picked cyndaquil and named it after me because I love fire types, so he asked me to pick totadile and name it after him because he likes water types.

When I get around to playing my copy of white I'll be picking Oshawatt I like him best out of the three and he's based on one of my fave animals an otter and the samurai who I am also highly interested in.

 

[Oswin]

I've picked them all.

 

[Clemson]

Historically speaking, I usually pick grass types. I picked Piplup for Platinum because I thought it looked the coolest at the time.

 

[MizuTaipu]

Gen 1/FR/LG: Bulbasaur or Squirtle (rarely Charmander)
Gen 2/HG/SS: All three
Gen 3: All three
Gen 4: Chimchar or Piplup (rarely Turtwig)
Gen 5: Oshawott (never the other two)

 

[Bouffalant Herdier]

On my very first playthrough of Red, I picked Bulbasaur because I'd heard it has the easiest time against the first two Gym Leaders, but I got very bored about a month later, so I restarted the game to play the adventure again. (I'd never do that now. Still feel kinda bad about deleting my first ever file) Now I'd played the game a bit, I wanted a harder beginning this time around, so I picked Charmander instead, and now I always pick the fire starter in the first playthrough of the Gen, for some reason, and pick the Grass starter in the 3rd game.

 

[chimera]

Blue- Squirtle
SS- Chikorita
White- Oshawott
All because they were reliable starters, Water being good defensively and Chikorita having good defenses.

 

[Dread Advocate]

I always pick water, but get all three. No exceptions.

 

[YamiiDenryuu]

Oshawott in White because it's cute. Treecko in Sapphire because it's awesome.

 

[kieshara]

i always pick grass type.... dont know why but i just do... razor leaf just look awsome to me

i should pick fire since i love fire types

 

[SquirtleSquad]

Squirtle is the best Pokemon ever. I picked Totodile, but he wasn't nearly as cool. Torchic was alright, but IMO the starters went downhill after the first generation.

 

[Sleepless Nights]

bulbasaur, chikorita, torchic, piplup, and snivy

mostly because i think they are the cutest ones to choose from... and also i'm pretty good with them training wise.

 

[Proxima Centauri B]

Is this gen 5 or every gen. Oh well, I'lllist them all.
Silver: Chikorita
Gold: cyndaquil
These two I chose for the cute factor. I was 12 and thats all I really cared about.
Ruby: Torchic- again cuteness
Emerald Treecko- my favorite Hoenn starter, Ilike grass types alot.
Sapphire- Mudkip cause I liek mudkipz lol.
Diamond- Piplup, mostly cause I watched the anime and that was what Dawn picked.
Soul Silver- Chikorita: Nostalgia reasons mostly, because Chikorita was the first Pokemon I ever chose.
HeartGold: Cyndaquil- Because I was resetting for any shiny starter and that was the one to shine.
Black/White: I chose Snivy in both because I liked it the best.

 

[Juzey]

I usually pick Fire-types, mainly because they're the cutest, but in Diamond I picked Piplup on the most recent playthrough, because I like Steel-types.
