    What was the starting pokémon you all chose while playing each generation of pokémon for the first time. Explain what made you pick that pokémon.

    Gen 1-Bulbasaur (Cause of the little bulb on it's back)

    Gen 2-Totodile (Cute little alligator D:)

    Gen 3-Treecko (Cause it looked better than the other 2)

    Gen 4-Turtwig (It was adorable)

    Gen 5 and 6 I haven't played them unfortunately but looking at the starters I would have gone with..

    Gen 5-Snivy (Once again better design than the other 2)

    Gen 6-Froakie (It's a frog D: that's all)

    Gen I - Squirtle (because turtle that can squirt water)

    Gen II - Totodile (baby crocodile, so both cute and (Sasha) fierce)

    Gen III - Torchic (cutest thing ever...)

    Gen IV - Piplup (until this little guy showed up)

    Gen V - Oshawott (hello, cute otter!)

    Gen VI - Fennekin (obsessed with foxes, both the singer and animal)



    See the trend?

    Yes @Joeypals!! you like cute things. Good thing I'm not cute ;)
    For mine it's pretty simple

    Gen I - Bulbasaur just because of how he sounds in the anime

    Gen II - Cyndaquil... well who doesn't love a fire mouse XD

    Gen III - Mudkip because I think it's cuter than torchic.

    Gen IV - Piplup well since Empoleon was my favorite untill Stoutland came along I guess I will give piplup this one.

    Gen V - Tepig I used to have pigs on my farm and I still think piglets are the best things since sliced bread soooo yea...

    Gen VI - Fennekin just because it reminds me so much of a baby fox I took care of when I was in middle school.

    Not the most orthodox way of choosing but it got the job done :)

    Wow @CorbinJ you almost have the same tastes as me

    Gen I - Bulbasaur : Charmander and Squirtle are too mainly c:

    Gen II - Cyndaquil : so cute ♥.♥

    Gen III - Mudkip : torchic is a fuckin kfc and treecko is a lizard, but what is mudkip ? except the #2nd cutest pkmn ever ?

    Gen IV - Piplup : EMPOLEON WILL BE ERASE YOU

    Gen V - Tepig : It's a fucking pig, and I love ham c:.

    Gen VI - Fennekin: It's a fox. Fox is good. Fox is cute. Fox is life.

    Gen I - Bulbasaur. I like having the Powders early.

    Gen II - Chikorita. Too adorable to not choose.

    Gen III - Torchic, I guess. I'm not really a fan of any of them.

    Gen IV - Turtwig. Close match between this and Piplup.

    Gen V - Snivy. I like Serperior's design to Emboar's and Samurott's. It looks the least awkward and messy. Also, Smugleaf.

    Gen VI - Fennekin. Because foxes and mages are cool.

    Wow I really hate Water-types apparently.

    Gen I - Charmander. Cuz Charizard.

    Gen II - Totodile. Watch out, it's GATOR!

    Gen III - Treecko. This and Snivy are the only Grass starters I'd ever consider. Treecko is pretty cool.

    Gen IV - Piplup. Empoleon is just badass.

    Gen V - Tepig. Because Emboar is literally a boar with a flaming fire beard, drinking kegs of beer. It doesn't get any cooler than that.

    Gen VI - Froakie. Best starter overall.

    Gen I - Squirtle

    Gen II - Totodile

    Gen III - Mudkip

    Gen IV - All of them are great, but i feel like Empoleon provides better team synergy, and its coverage is amazing.

    Gen V - Oshawott or Tepig, i enjoyed both but never beat the games rip

    Gen VI - Haven't played the games, but i think that a Greninja without Protean just loses a lot of viability, so Chespin for days :^)

    Pikachu Charmander due to lack of fire types
    Totodile when I first played cause he looked cool. I use Chikorita now because Lugia+Chikorita = all HMs
    Treecko because I wanted a good grass type... Haha
    Piplup because I wanted Steel Penguin
    Gen 5 I don't really recall. I walked through walls the entire game
    Then Froakie because greninja looked coolest

    I always pick the Grass starter for my first run of the games without exception, but here are my preferences:

    Gen I - Bulbasaur because first Pokemon in the national dex yay.
    Gen II - Totodile because it has more options than the other two.
    Gen III - Torchic because it's adorable and because Blaziken. KFC is pretty OP in ORAS though but tbf all 3 starters trivialize that game.
    Gen IV - Piplup because it reminds me of Torchic c: jk Empoleon is boss. Turtwig is a close second.
    Gen V - Snivy because it looks so smug, I just love its design.
    Gen VI - Froakie because Greninja was the only final evo design I liked in XY.

    Gen I - Squirtle (as far as I can remember anyway; I know on one playthrough I got stuck on Erika with Blastoise so I'm going to assume that was the first run)
    Gen II - Totodile (Back then, I was more into cool than cute and Totodile was / is cooler than Cynda and Chiko)
    Gen III - Torchic (I know I used Treecko in Emerald and I'm pretty sure I never used Mudkip so going to assume I used Torchic in Sapphire. Could check but effort)
    Gen IV - Chimchar (At this point, I'd played Mystery Dungeon, got Cyndaquil and decided never to not pick a Fire-type again)
    Gen V - Tepig (see gen IV)
    Gen VI - Fennekin (see gen IV)

    Gen I - Charmander one of my fav in gen I after Growlithe.

    Gen II - Cyndaquil

    Gen III - Mudkip: Flat out the best starter. Yeah it's mainly cuz of its typing, but still it is tanky as well and has a powerful attack stat

    Gen IV - Chimchar ^.^

    Gen V - Snivy because it has a nice slender look.

    Gen VI - Froakie
