Random Poll of the Day! (54)

[PhoenixTears]

Fire types are good:  Charmander's my vote.

Unfortunately, since my sister and I try to complete the pokedex as well as possible, I usually end up with the water and grass starters.

Why not just get every starter Pokemon?
New Game: Choose Fire --> Trade
New Game: Choose Water --> Trade
New Game: Choose Grass --> Trade
New Game: Choose Fire --> Trade
New Game: Choose Water --> Trade
New Game: Choose Grass, then have your sister trade over the extra fire and water.

Or you can just breed, but you need to find a compatible Pokemon and it'll take some time.

I had Platinum & Soul Silver.
So I got all the starter Pokemon for SS, by trading over the Pokemon to Platinum --> Trading it back.

Yeah, that's what usually ends up happening.  Ah well, this way I get to see how a better variety of pokemon work.

For the record, I think Empoleon is the best water starter there is.  Swampert was pretty awesome, too, though.

I'm not sure which fire type starter is the best.
Torchic and Chimchar both eventually learn fighting type moves.
Charmander on the other hand, is fire and flying.

I've had the best luck with Typhlosion. It's pretty sturdy, and doesn't have the double weakness to Rock type moves. Blaziken I thought was better than Infernape but they're both pretty good. Charizard is awesome just because it's Charizard, though.

Idem PhoenixTears' part about Charizard.

though I had blue version, I chose charmander. Makes for a herder start of the game, especially at brock.

I usually try to catch different types early on.
Fire, Water, Thunder, Psychic/Ghost, Rock and Normal, are usually my priorities.

[Kleene Onigiri]

Charmander!

[Holmes]

Fire FTW! But if I have to choose betwen their final evolutions, Blastoise.

Still wondering where all the love is for Bulbasaur.

Grass types were pretty useless because most of them were also poison types, making psychic attacks lethal for them. (Not to mention poison types had almost no advantages at all!)

Also, Typholosion had great speed and Special Attack, I always loved it!

[bluekaitou1412]

Of course, I'll choose Charmander over any non-legendary Pokemon, coz Charizard is my favorite!

I chose Cyndaquil and Torchic, but in Platinum I used Turtwig. I dunno, but I don't like Chimchar.

[Yurikochan]

I started with Squirtle and will always love him!

[nomemory]

I like them all but I prefer charmander. Charmander, chikorita, torchic or mudkip, piplup or turtwig.

I like how Pikachu would follow you around.
That's also what I like about SS/HG, the Pokemon follows you.
