FR: Charmander
S: Torchic
E: Mudkip
D: Chimchar
P: Turtwig
Pt: Piplup
HG: Totodile
SS: Cyndaquil
W: Still not sure. All three of them are appealing in their own special way, with none being a clear winner for my attention. I don't and will not know what they evolve into or what types their third stage will have so I'm not going on that.

These are only the first times playing and completing the games past the Elite Four, with the starter on my main team.

I have replayed these games over and over again so I have chosen each of the starters on each game.

Gen 1 - Squirtle
Gen 2 - Totodile (Coolest looking starter ever btw)
Gen 3 - Treeko
Gen 4 - Piplup
Gen 5 - I have tried not looking at spoilers on Serebii main page :p

.....I just realized i pick alot of the water types, hehe.

Also I was wondering looking back through this thread, almost no one picked Totodile; don't get me wrong Cyndaquil is cool and Chickorita is pretty cute but how can anyone resist not picking a crocodile with fangs? ;158;
