Which Starter did you pick? (R/B/G)

[Fallen]

Just a general question. Pretty simple, which starter did you start off with?

1. Bulbasaur
2. Charmander
3. Squirtle

[SCV]

Squirtle and that set the tone for the rest of the games.

[Fallen]

It was actually toughest for me to pick out of the original three. Whereas in the later versions I had always liked only one or two of the starters. Which the R/B I liked all three equally. I usually picked Charizard, cause I mean 90% of the Pokémon fan base did. He was just so awesome.

[Phreen]

Bulbasaur, I really don't know why I chose him but he has been the last grass starter I ever chose, guess I only like him

[fenzo666]

CHARMANDER

[HottSushiz]

Hmm, I wonder which i picked, and who does this remind you of?

[Greencat]

It was either Charmander or Squirtle, but I think Squirtle since I wanted Blastoise with his cannons. :P

[Pender]

I played through those games several times when I was younger, and at one point or another I used each of them, but my favorite was always Bulbasaur. It was also fun to trade over the other two and play through the game with all three.

[wraith89]

Squirtle, even if he is the worst one of the three... but that set my decisions for all my other games: pick the water type. Bulbasaur is the best one of the three, no doubt.

[damio]

Squirtle
but I was almost going to pick Charmander.

But after I restarted the game, I had an XPloder, so I took all 3 :D

[Varna]

Squirtle, because at the time I assumed that choice to basically be the "normal" difficulty. =p Also, my friend picked Charmander, so I was being a slight douche.

[Enkidu]

:o I did the opposite, just to show I was better than my brother I Picked charizard when he picked blastoise.

[Gallade]

All these starters were great but squirtle is my favorite, 2nd is bulbasaur and last is charmander.

ive said this since day 1 (or at least when i was a bit more knowledgable) that you should always pick the fire starter (twisted fire starter.. yeah!) because fires are so rare when compared to water and grass pokemon. also water and grass are my least favourite types.

[bear831]

CHARMANDER
004

The same.

There are plenty of overpowered fire types throughout the game. Arcanine, Magmar, Flareon are all good examples. There isn't really an abundance of anything in just the first generation. And other than Venusar the only other good grass Pokémon are Vileplume and Scyther (whom is more so bug).

Teeeeeeam Squirten! Oh yeah. I chose Bulbasaur. He was awesome. :D

[4evil]

Squirtle :D

Scyther was terrible in RBY. Victreebel and Exeggutor were good, but unfortunately, the former was part Poison. Flareon was still terrible then...

Perspective I guess. I just don't like Charizard being named the best overall fire Pokémon.

[That Pokemon Guy]

I always change it up when I play. Last time I played, I chose Squirtle. Fixing to start over on my Red version and go bananas.

[FLOOTENKERP]

Squirtle.

[GGfan]

I chose Bulbasaur.

[chycorita]

Go charmander.

[Dimi]

I picked the obvious choice. How can you reject this?

[chycorita]

Charizards cool. I hated getting attacked by Earthquake...

[wraith89]

Blastoise was awesome... but too bad his stats were unimpressive. In fact, he's the worst of the RBY starters, but I still like him so I picked him.

Fun fact: Charizard and Blastoise had a special of 85... meaning they got screwed in that generation. Venusaur had a special of 100, but being part Poison meant BAD for him :p

[chycorita]

Yeah.. It gives you a bad image when a pokemon is poison type...

[Melesmelda]

I always was the Bulbasuar sort.

[Cobalt]

My first pokemon was squirtle.

Now I choose Bulbasaur, mainly because I like him better.

[Endless Eden]

Bulbasaur!!!!

He was my favourite pokemon for a very long time :D

[NoxCaelum]

Where is Pikachu???
...
Poll Result: Pikachu+1

[wraith89]

lol. In Yellow you didn't have a choice but to pick Pikachu... I believe it's about Red and Blue where you had a choice of three :p

[Nirron]

[AlbinoDrow]

I got Yellow, and thus Pikachu. Though if I had a choice it would be charmander.

I remember playing it for the first time and not knowing how to evolve my beloved Nidorino so I just leveled it up. I wanted a Nidoking for the E4 so I continued to level it until around level 80 when I asked how the heck the friggen thing evolved.
Moon Stone....
That day a level 80 Nidoking who knew Surf, Double Kick, Horn Drill, and Earthquake raped the E4 like it was NOTHING.

[Phototoxin]

Charmander because I like charmeleon

[Akaria]

Charmander.

Always started with fire types. Always will be.

[WiiGamin]

The very first starter I chose (The day this game came out in the US), I chose Squirtle. =)

[rednano12]

I used to be addicted to this game like crazy.

My first, 4th, and 5th run were pure Squirtle
2nd and 3rd were Bulbasaur

... I never liked Charmander/meleon/izard that much.

[InuYouki]

Old school charmander ftw x3 R/B was the only other generations besides G/S that I loved all the starters. I have both versions so my red was my "good" save which I started with charmander and my blue I often restarted with either Bulbasaur or Squirtle. Ahh the memories. Charmander is still my favorite starter of all time.

[ImANinja]

Charmander :p

[Milo]

007

Surf to take down Charizard and Ice beam/Blizzard to take down venusaur. The best of both worlds. Plus, he's Bond, in Pokemon form. (quote me if you're not getting the reference, maybe that'll help a bit)

[Skyfire]

Squirtle!!! But all three are cute =3

[coolness]

squirtle is the best
whit the moves
surf,skull bash,giga inpackt,and hydropump

[Neo]

I picked squirtle

[Mewkid999]

The water starters were always my favorite, but in some games like G/S/C I usually pick cyndaquil.

[RenegadeShroom]

I picked Charmander, because I remember watching the anime and seeing how awesome Charizard was. I was so happy when my Charmeleon evolved and it didn't disobey me. I was a complete noob back then. ;D

[DeathWatch]

I picked Squirtle.

[Sunny day]

Surprisingly, I do not see much 'Bulbasaur' answers (not that it matters...). But I always picked Bulbasaur in my Pokémon Red game. It was basically the best Pokémon to pick when you want a quick playthrough until the fifth Gym. Brock and Misty were simple because you could hit them super effective (uhm, I mean their Pokémon xD), you resisted electric attacks from the Pokémon of Lt. Surge and you could use simple 'Cut' fights with the Pokémon of Erika, because they endlessly used Poisonpowder on you! :P I suppose that you had not any value for the 'intelligence' of the trainers back then. ^^ Mostly I also caught Nidoking, so you could handle Koga and then Missingno. was the objective. With other Pokémon games, I always varied my choice of starters, but with Pokémon Red... No, it had to be Bulbasaur. :)

[pokeymen]

I always pick Squirtle because I feel like Blastoise is going to be the best and I should always train him. Now that these used Pokemon games (www.usedpokemongames.com) are becoming so expensive I like to make sure when I buy one it has a different one leveled up in the save file. This way I can switch back and forth and always play more than one so I don't have to choose! :)

[ieges]

Since this IS r/b/Y, Pikachu all the way!

[Folite]

Definently CHARMANDER !! i normally pick fire types , except black & white i picked SNIVY.

[southernblues]

i picked squirtle. idk why.

[Nintz]

Originnally?

Squirtle

That thing never got past lvl. 29

I *almost* beat the E4 with one pokemon in that game though! Lvl 62 Sandslash with Dig. Ahhhh... good times.

[Leaf Dragoon]

Bulbasaur, because i love grass types

[pikapower64]

most of the time, i choose Bulbasaur because it can take down literally half of all Gyms, but whenever i really want to challenge myself, i choose Charmander for more of a difficulty.
one time, i even beat Misty's Starmie with just Charmeleon and Slash.

[bear831]

I chose charmander every time I started over both red and FireRed versions

[ROG408]

Besides moltres there isn't any good fire types.
For water and grass there's poliwrath, Gyarados , vileplume, Victreebel.

So I'm going with charmander http://i1163.photobucket.com/albums/q560/ROG408/montage-rby-1.png
