    First starter you picked in each generation

    What was the first starter you picked in your very first playthrough of each generation? Which starter are you planning on picking in Sun/Moon? Indicate your choices either in text or on the image, and comment on other's picks. What do your choices say about you?

    My picks:
    Spoiler!

    1. Bulbasaur
    2. Totodile
    3. Treeko
    4. Piplup
    5. Snivy
    6. Froakie
    7. Litten

    It's interesting that I've never picked the fire starter first, although often the fire starter ends up being my favorite starter of the generation.

    Yes, I have not officially played a Kanto game yet. Does that disqualify me from complaining about Psychic and Ghost being unbalanced?

    1. None
    2. Chikorita (This was my first Pokémon game, I didn't know a thing.)
    3. Treecko
    4. Chimchar
    5. Tepig
    6. Fennekin
    7. Popplio


    Interesting on how I haven't picked a Water-Type Starter yet, and also weird that except for Treecko, I despise the starter I chose most out of the generation (since my first experience was ORAS, and it was my favorite already). In the case of Sinnoh, I hate all of them and just catch a Shinx, get rid of my starter, and play on.

    I can't be bothered with the image.

    1. Charmander was my first Pokemon, I can remember that much.
    2. Can't remember. It's been so long since I first played a gen 2 game that it's dropped out of my head. I did choose Totodile for Heartgold, but I know I'd used both the other ones before.
    3. Mudkip. Technically it was my brother's save file but I was the one doing the playing.
    4. Turtwig, I think. At least in my only run of a gen 4 game I completed.
    5. Snivy (AKA Smugleaf)
    6. Fenneking
    7. Litten


    And there we have it. Usually I like the fire starter the most, unless if it's fire/fighting in which case I go for the grass one. The water types are kind of always the least popular with me, except if the gen has a fire/fighting.

    1) None...? I've never played a pure Gen 1 game in my life.
    2) Cyndaquil
    3) Torchic
    4) Turtwig
    5) Snivy
    6) Fennekin
    7) Popplio, maybe. I'm trying reeeeally hard not to pick the popular option atm.

    Kanto: Squirtle, I think? I was four or so and I believe I was told to. I picked Charmander in my first playthrough of FR though.
    Johto: Totodile, but I played through HGSS around the same time and picked Chikorita in SS so kind of both? Although technically I used the Cyndaquil line first in Colosseum.
    Kanto: Treecko!
    Sinnoh: Chimchar!
    Unova: Oshawott in White, then Tepig in Black and Snivy in Black 2!
    Kalos: I've only used Chespin because this region sucks.
    Alola: Rowlet is my favourite but I might pick Popplio because I love it too and it deserves more love!

    EDIT: Actually, I'm going to talk about my favourites to use too.

    Kanto: I'm not actually sure about this one. Oops.
    Johto: I'm the kind of fool who likes setting up screens or whatever with Meganium but Feraligatr's physical moveset in HGSS is so fun to sweep everything with too.
    Hoenn: Leaf Blade is cool but Swampert just destroys everything. The Treecko line is still my favourite starter line overall though.
    Sinnoh: Platinum was my first playthrough where I truly understood everything and didn't have like Fly, Aerial Ace, Wing Attack, Peck Swellow and I planned my team which included Infernape and Torterra again. SD/Fire Punch/Thunderpunch/Brick Break was really fun.
    Unova: Samurott was pretty cool to use but Serperior in Black 2 was really cool. Coil/Leaf Blade/Return/Aqua Tail is fun but there's probably some B2W2 are my favourite games bias here.
    Kalos: Chesnaught lol.
