Where is Pikachu?

I voted Charmander as Charmander is cute and Charazard is one of the best if not the best stage 2 starter

Not in this poll, as she's not a Gen 1 starter by my legalistic standards. :) Red & Blue/Green only!

Poor Bulbasaur... :(

It's almost a tie between Charmander and Squirtle for me, but I give Char the slight edge because I like Charizard better than Blastoise.

Piplup>>Chimchar>Turtwig.
Tepig>>Snivy>Oshawott.
Fennekin>Froakie>>Chespin
Rowlet>>Litten>>Popplio
Sobble/Scorbunny (still deciding)>>Grookey

Gen 1 has to be Charmander for his absolutely badass final evolution.


Regarding gen 3> Torchic itself is pretty mediocre but Blaziken is an absolute God.

The first fire fighting to start the chain of ruining fire starters. I liked Blaziken though. Inferno sucks.

Squirtle about to win and no one has mentioned why the like the bad boy. Did people nominate Squirtle due to just it's basic stage or do people compare blasty boy and charazard as well.

How do you defeat a big flower? Tell me that. Squirtle feeds me, Charmander turns me to fertilizer for the next wave of flowery bulby death. Multiplying exponentially, it's only a matter of time before the world is dense with the choking pollen of billions and billions of big flowers. The remnants of society hiding in gyms, keeping warm next to their charmaheaters and sipping pathetically from squirteats.

Bulbafuckingsaur.
