psyce Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Leaving the first gen aside(Simply because I'd choose all the first gen starters any day), the best Grass I like is Sceptile, best fire is Infernape(Empoleon is good but Infernape kicks @$$) and the best water would be Feraligatr!

Draconic_Renegade Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Totodile is my number one choice but since I'm getting both I'll also have a Chikorita, so kawaii!=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duplicated Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I'll just get all of them (progress through the story to the point where you can use trading system, trade it to Platinum, restart the game to get another one. Rinse and repeat) Still, I personally like Cyndaquil most lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyFormeSheimi Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I've been playing Pokemon for what, 10 years now so I'm pretty sure I can be called a veteran. But as said before, I'm choosing the quote-on-quote "Spunky Plant" Chikorita. Chikorita is so cute and Bayleef is completely awesome. Then you get Meganium which is hands down the best final GRASS EVOLUTION out of all of the starters. GRASS: Meganium > Sceptile > Torterra > Venasaur FIRE: Typhlosion > Charizard > Blaziken > Infernape WATER: Blastoise > Feraligatr > Empoleon > Swampert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRASS: Sceptile > Venusaur =? Torterra > Meganium FIRE: Infernape > Blaziken > Charizard > Typhlosion WATER: Swampert > Feraligatr > Empoleon =? Blastoise This is speaking competitive wise, but Grass starters were hard to rate... but Meganium is indeed the worst one unfortunately EDIT: Oh, it was about preferences? I can't judge you on that, that's all subjective! Edited March 5, 2010 by wraith89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id rather take Squirtle to begin with than Piplup the peppy penguin... And so i do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about preferences... it's about who's better competitively. I use Blastoise myself and he does well... but unfortunately Blastoise is outclassed by many other waters who does his job better... AND can double up as other roles...

Yeah, I only realized now that that whole comparison thing was about preferences, so it is subjective. So you think Chikorita can handle this game? I LOL at the fact trainers still use level 7-9 Pokemon even until the second gym Azalea town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Why do you LOL at that? I think they should find a way to ditch levels but still have Pokémon grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraith89 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Why do you LOL at that? I think they should find a way to ditch levels but still have Pokémon grow. Heh... this game was too easy. After Goldenrod was a trainer with a... *gasp* a level 2 Voltorb! The underleveled Pokemon was a serious issue for me... it's as if this game needed a harder difficulty like you said. I don't know... the easiness and the brevity of this game turned me off a bit. BUT... for some reason, GSC is my favorite series, I think. I don't know why... it is SO fun despite its shortcomings.

But if Kanto is in the game i will have a blast even thou i started playing Pokemon video games from Ruby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMaster Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Why not all three? =3 I hope the game is less complicated, unlike FireRed and LeafGreen. In FR/LG, there was hack protection or something. They better not make something like that again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Lawliet Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Cyndaquil just because i think quilava is so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman2491 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Cyndaquil. And that is only because I ALWAYS picked him in the GSC games. Use to be my favorite pokemon for a while too. EDIT: You missed out, big time. Playing that game at 11-12 years old was a blast. Agreed. It was the last pokemon game people enjoyed around my neighborhood/school. After those 3 everyone ignored pokemon and bashed it just because they didn't like the anime or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanteKoriyu Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Cyndaquil. I ALWAYS pick the fire starter on my play cart, SS this time around. HG will be used to get Chikorita and Totodile for my dex though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illithian Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I think Nintendo is extremely biased towards fire. Have you noticed that Typhlosion has the highest speed and Special Attack stats out of all three starters, and that those stats are the most useful for an ingame pokemon? Meganium has mediocre defensive stats and bad everything else, whilst Feraligatr has okay attack and def, while his other stats suffer. For ingame purposes, all of them will work. I think with the physical split, Feraligatr will be the most powerful starter. With physical Waterfall and Ice Punch, along with Dragon Dance and Swords Dance, he will be undeniably powerful. Typhlosion has a large movepool but probably won't be as strong as Feraligatr. Then again, Nintendo could work some magic with movesets and somehow turn Meganium into a monster, so we really don't know much at this point.
