Worst starter?

Which starter is the worst?

Piplup, chimchar and treeko. Piplup is just annoying in the anime and sucks so bad in the games. I ditched mine at level 36. Chimchar is way overrated and I hate it and it evos. And im not sure why I have always hated treecko. But I like its evolutions.
 
Chikorita = worst starter ever.
Piplup = worst starter in the anime ever (look how irritating Dawn's Piplup is).
 
Its a close one between Tsutarja, Mijamura, Pokabu and Mudkip. I think they are the only starters u couldnt pay me to use. Maybe Piplup and Chimchar too...

Your not gonna play Black and White then?
 
I personally think all the fire starters except for Cyndaquil sucked. I just hate Charmander for some reason, I don't like how a chick like Torchic can become a Fight-type, and Chimchar...no. Just no. & I hate this new fire pig. (Yeah I'm not calling it by name until it's in English...just me.
The grass ones...the original was the best. I love Bulbasaur. Chikorita is ok, but I hate the evolutions for it. I had a Treeko in Sapphire (because I was young & stupid) & I had to train it until it was a level 88 Sceptile before it stood a chance in the Pokemone League. And Turtwig...let's just not go there. I don't like it. I just don't. This new grass lizard...I don't know what to think.
Water: Squirtle...neh. Not very fond of it. I HATE Totodile, it just has a crappy design & it looks evil...just no. Mudkip...I'd rather just have a plain water starter, but it's ok I guess. For both my Diamond & Platinum I chose Piplup as a starter. I agree it's annoying at first, but I hated the other ones & once it evolves into an Empoleon it's bombass. The sea otter thing...it's a Piplup ripoff.
Thank you for taking the time to read this rambling post. :)
 
Chikorita. It can defend, but it's not as useful as its other Grass counterparts, IMO.
 
Why would you include Gen 5 starters we don't evne know their second and final forms and what type they turn into....


But I don't like Torchic because its final form doesn't help at all with Winona, Tate & Liza, and Wallace/Juan
 
I don't like Piplup. It turns into water/steel type which does nothing for me, just adds more weaknesses to get rid of a meh grass weakness. Just not a fan of it.
 
Piplup is a horrible Pokemon with a horrible moveset that evolves into an ugly thing with an even worse moveset. It is also a penguin and I'm sick and tired of penguins. PASS.
 
i was going to vote for chikorita.. but then i saw the mijumaru option. it's not cute- it has a snowball for a head. it is disturbingly freaky.
and why is it spelled "tsutarja"? i thought it was "tsutaaja"?

Take that back about Piplup! He's awesome and incredible when he turns into Empoleon. Yesterday I won a battle to get a shiny with Empoleon. But somehow, I just hate Piplup's 2nd evolution. But he's still got to be one of my favorite's

My least favorite is Mijumiru by a mile.

I shall have to tell people in the Knights of Mijumiru about you not liking him. And he's a sea otter everyone, not a penguin like Piplup. So stop saying about how Mijumiru's a copy of Piplup everyone.
 
Chikorita. Never liked that damn leaf on it's head. That and it fails pretty hard at any battle. Gen 5 may be the first I choose the grass starter however.
 
Chimchar, mostly because I have a personal Vendetta against that overused fire monkey.
 
Although I didn't hate any starters (in fact, I like all of them), I picked Charmander.

I understand that it is a dubious choice to some, mainly because of its cool factor, but I feel that it looks less appealing than all the other starters, and to me the others overshadow Charmander in the "wow"-factor.
