Which starter will you choose this time around?

[FlareWingman]

Just like the title says, what starter will you choose for these 2 games (Heart Gold, Soul Silver):
-Cyndaquil
-Totodile
-Chikorita

I think I am gonna choose cyndaquil...For some reason I like most of the fire starters of the games.

[redshift71388]

Fire! Cyndaquil has always been my favorite Johto starter. And he's useful against more Johto Gym types than the other starters. Or should I say, the only one that has type advantages over any Johto Gym.

[chaosmage]

Chikorita probably. I always used it in GSC so I see no reason to change that now.

[Near]

Totodile. Blue version and water Pokemon every time for me.

[grim mouser]

I've always started with the water-type on my first runs.

[Shatter]

Totodile for sure. Then if I get the other game or if I restart I'll use Cyndaquil.

[Lord Satan]

I'll pick Cyndaquil in HG and Chikorita in SS just like I did in the originals.

[pfaithful]

still deciding between either totdile or chickorita. probably totodile 1st time around.

[Kevin_Olbrysh]

Cyndiquil. Not only is it one of the coolest pokemon in the game, but it's very good for gyms. Plus, it was my first pokemon I ever had in any game.

If I get Soul Silver as well, I'm getting Totodile, just because Chikorita makes it near impossible to beat the gyms.

[Steel]

Totodile FTW

[Senru]

I be picking cyndiquil because it pwn way to much and it was my first ever pokemon.

[Exo]

Cyndaquil probably. I love the Fire Starters, except for Torchic. I picked Treecko that gen.

Or Chikorita. Razor Leaf that early in the game is awesome.

[Searling]

Cyndaquil due to the lack of fire Pokemon throughout the play.

[chaosmage]

Meh, the fact that chicorita sucks against the gym leaders never really bothered me since I could just use other poke's for the early ones, like Geodude/Graveler. I might wind up picking Totodile instead, but I just like Meganium more then Feraligatr.

[Liz Azzimagica]

Totodial for sure, it was my starter back when I first played silver (which was achally believe it or not my very first pokemon game ever...) aw Silver...my absoulte perfect game...full pokedex...great team...then it all erased...all I needed was a celibi...but I never got it...so Soul Silver, here I come

[Zenon]

Cyndaquil.

How else am I gonna get a Typhlosion? :p

[Lil Yugi]

Chikorita, FTW! I've used Cynadaquill and Totodile before, but I don't think I've ever done a playthrough with Chikorita, so I'm going to give it a shot this time around. If that Blsprout/Onix trade is still in the remakes, I may have to take it to beat Falkner. lol

[Boltizar]

i hope i can pick up both (silver first)
if i do:
silver: cyndaquil
gold: totodile

[frostfreak]

i will choose totodile
but by the time the games come out ill have changed my mind so many times

[Tvtim]

I'm gonna pick up both versions of the game, using HeartGold as my main one. I'll probably start with Totodile, and transfer a Cyndaquil and Chikorita from the SoulSilver before starting up with Cyndaquil in that one.

[Hyper Knight]

Cyndaquil, hands down!

Only, this time, I'm gonna give it a much better name...It's so embarrassing to look back in my old game and find a an awesome fiery rodent named 'Quily' XD

[BuraiDX]

Cyndaquil, beat the game, restart, Chikorita, beat the game, restart, Totodile, beat the game, restart, Cyndaquil until I stop playing.

[tt87]

I'm getting both games, so I'll start with all 3 on each.

[Blue Sea Dragoon]

I'll be getting both, so I'll use Totodile and Cyndaquil.

I love Chikorita, but its movepool just plain sucks.

[doxiong]

Totodile

That's only if he follows me around like the one game play example they have presented while announcing there will be a gold and silver remake

[Marissa`]

Cyndaquil cuz he's so adorable :]

[marhawkman]

I'm honestly not sure. Fire seems to be the easy choice. That and I can probably just trade for a fire type so I'm not really worried. I'll probably get the other two. Besides, I already have Typhlosion in Platinum.

[gilgaland]

Chikorita, i always pick the cutest ones , :S

[questionmark]

cyndaquil beats face and can burn a lot of things with flame wheel

[Boltizar]

cyndaquil beats face and can burn a lot of things with flame wheel

and now falkner cant use mudslap ;3

[questionmark]

mudslap never bothered me that much. i had always made fried chicken out of his pigioto before it did anything. and who knows? maybe they'll bring all the old tms back. id love to see the elemental punches return

[Itachi_Uchiha21]

I go with Cyndaquil...or Chikorita

[Card Guardian]

I'm definately goin' for Cyndaquil! Cyndaquil was my very first starter ever! W00t! I'm gonna have an updated Cyladon!!!!!(Cyladon was the name of my first Cyndaquil in gold.)

[EmptyJar]

Totodile always !

[Dreaper30]

cyndaquil. i dont like feraligator,

[MonsterOfTheLake]

Cyndaquil, like I used to.

[redshift71388]

maybe they'll bring all the old tms back. id love to see the elemental punches return
But wouldn't it be better to keep them as move tutor moves that you can use repeatedly, as in Platinum?

[El Caballero!]

Cyndaquil...what kind of question is this?

[Natha]

Chikorita 75%
Totodile 10%
Cyndaquil 15%

[SpringChocobo]

I'll flip 2 coins....like heads eliminates Totodile and tails eliminates Chikorita.
And after whichever one gets eliminated I'll used the remaining coin to determine......

I'm not making any sense, am I?

Fine. Chikorita for the difficulty factor.

[RandomNames]

Definalty cyndaquil the first time through.. The chikorita the secound

[David Davidson]

Totodle for sure.
feraligatr
crunch
earthquake
ice punch
surf

and that is just my moveset in diamond, i cant wait to see if there is better moves on this :)

[Zoned87]

Probably Chikorita, but as soon as I get the ability to trade ill probably transfer a Totodile and Cyndaquil from my Platinum game as well.

(I breed and trade all the starters)

[Goketsu]

cyndaquil in SS , totodile in HG
I plan on getting both games x)

[BaldWombat]

cyndaquil in SS , totodile in HG
I plan on getting both games x)

Cyndaquil and Totodile will be the starters that I use for both games as well. Although I always make sure to get all 3 on both games to start with.

[Venom]

Totodile
He is a beast :3

[Inochi]

I had picked Chikorita the first time around so I'll choose that one or Cyndaquil.

[chaosbringer127]

Cyndaquil. I picked him as my starter for Gold, and I will do the same again.

[Boltizar]

i may start with something then catch 2 to trade myself for the others

[Iggly]

Cynda, the only option of that gen imho, the final evos of the other two arent my cup of tea...

[Birnax]

I using totodile in hg and chikorita in ss.

[Troop_Dupe_Scupe]

Cyndi or Toti

[FutureTrunksSSJ1]

Im going with the water Tododile. I luv water types. they can beat anything

[XsupersaiyansX]

Cyndaquil in SoulSilver
Chikorita in HeartGold

[Ovr Zealous.]

Ive always loved Cyndaquil. Mostly because it's adorable and shy, not to mention its Fire, one of my fave types. :b
So it's Cyndaquil once again. :D

[oisin-scizor]

Cyndaquil, definitely. Fire type starters are always the best!

[Shatter]

I think this has to be the hardest generation to choose a starter for me. I love Cyndaquil and Totodile. Maybe I'll just have to buy both HG and SS so that I can start with both.

[adriAN _mvp]

totodile
the greatest starter of all time

[XxxMiguelxxX]

no doubt imma get by old buddy cyndaquil

[pfaithful]

chickorita. for more of a challenge

[Johny2hai]

I would pick Chickorita, mainly b/c then it'll be more of a challenge. Ill prolly rstart the game many times to get a feel of all the staters. ^_^

[p0k3mast3r]

Totodile

One of my favorite pokemon ever. Besides Lucario...........

[B. Rock]

Most likely gonna go with Totodile and name it JIG DANCER. Ever since I saw the anime episode way back when; when Ash got a Totodile and everytime he let his Totodile out the Pokeball and it danced, I made it a tradition to name every Totodile I got afterwards that. Pokemon Crystal only helped since they actually gave him a dancing animation there. ;D

'Course I can't remember if I can even fit that entire name there, I prolly made that name without any spaces or skipped out on the, "E". ;x

[X-Slayer-999]

Totodile. I ALWAYS choose the water starter first.

[palamon]

When I get Heart Gold, I will choose Chickorita. When I get Soul Silver, I will choose Cyndaquil.
I'm 100% positive about this.

[The_Shane]

im goin with totodile

[LelouchLamperouge]

Chikorita, though my starter will unlikely stay in my team.

[Corgi Master]

I'm caught between Totodile and Chikorita. I love both, and there are reasons to pick both (for me anyway). I'm aware Totodile is probably better, but I've always had a thing for leaf starters.

[Shatter]

After seeing Typhlosion's new art I may have to start with Cyndaquil. Man that new Typhlosion is awesome.

[Solemn_Party]

Cyndaquil. Out of the three starters, Typhlosion is by far my favorite, and the best.

[SendingBulbasaur]

Lol they are all awesome.
Chikorita because I love grass types.
Cyndaquil cause it is good at battling.
Totodile because it's cute.

[pokjin026]

I'm not quite sure which one I will use, but if I had to pick one, these are the reasons why:
1. Cyndaquil, because Typhlosion is a badass. Cyndaquil also has the best type-advantage for early gameplay.
2. Totodile, because it will be the most useful starter throughout the game.
3. Chikorita, because it will be the funnest and most challenging starter in the early game.

[Flaza54]

definately cyndaquil, i chose cyndaquil in the original games all those years ago and i'll stick with him. cyndaquil has always been my favourite starter pokemon of all time :D

[tylar122]

Totodile then Cyndaquil on my other game ^^

[jade'sdarkmagician]

Well I'm a bit of a Quilava nut so I'll definitely be choosing Cindy.

[Mark Howard]

Definately Cyndaquil. Typhlosion's cool. Meganium is too defensive for a playthrough, and Feraligator's just plain ugly.

[Eyesh]

I might go with Feraligatr for HeartGold, and Meganium for SoulSilver. Love Chikorita, and I always wanted to try Totodile.

[Killer_Nacho]

Cyndaquil. I love the fire types.

[killaftw103]

i always pick the grass starters in all my pokemon games....so im going with chikorita

[Mr.Denden]

Cyndaquil, my favorite starter of all time. Typhlosion is godly.

[RogacXDelta7]

I always get Cyndaquil when i play GSC. this time around I will probably use Todatile because its always better giving a player an challange when he/she plays.

[Venom]

I never like chikorita for some reason
i will prolly choose cyndaquil
sooo cute >:3

[fuzzycars]

Chikorita, because I've never used it and want one in the newer games for breeding

[GagetMan1919]

i want to start with a freaking abra but no. so ill go with cyndaquil just for sheer pwnage

[DarkMagician95]

Chikorita,cause Grass Types Rule

[LeBron2NYK2010]

im defintely torn between totodile and cyndaquill, but im more then likely going to get cyndaquill tho he is awsome :D

[AmberCyprian]

I'll no doubt use cyndaquil, but i remember when i played thru my gold with a level 5 pichu as my starter. it was so fun. it reminded me of yellow. i kinda want to do that again...

[Venom]

I'll no doubt use cyndaquil, but i remember when i played thru my gold with a level 5 pichu as my starter. it was so fun. it reminded me of yellow. i kinda want to do that again...

Lol i used to do that to :3
But i choose a cleffa :3

[AmberCyprian]

cleffa IS awesome...i wouldnt mind having a level 5 eevee as my starter, either.

[gladiator guard]

definitly tododile especialy since he's been nerfed alot in moves and stats

[giname]

i would chose Cyndaquil cause i would always chose it
but i might mix it up and use Totodile

[Troop_Dupe_Scupe]

Chickorita just plain sucks. No good moves, too defensive.

Totodile is the best looking. But then you can't use the red Gyarados.

Cyndiquil, by exclusion si the only way to go.

[LunarWolf21]

Probably Chickorita. Because it was the first pokemon I chose to start with in Silver, and because it provides more of a challenge to beat the game.

Cyndaquil would be my second choice.

[jalkan]

Totodial for sure, it was my starter back when I first played silver (which was achally believe it or not my very first pokemon game ever...) aw Silver...my absoulte perfect game...full pokedex...great team...then it all erased...all I needed was a celibi...but I never got it...so Soul Silver, here I come

lol that sucks hardore.
im starting with totodile, definately.

[THERAPIST AL]

Totodile just like I did with silver

[PimpOwnage]

I wanna catch em all

[HalHornCorSec]

Cyndaquil is my starter of choice--I always do my first playthrough of a particular set of games with a Fire starter. And Cyndaquil is only second to Charmander when it comes to my favorite starter Pokemon. I'll be using it on HeartGold. But on SoulSilver, I'll be using Totodile.

[Chaostamer]

I started with Chikorita in Silver version, so that's my pick, just for nostalgia. Although it's probably going to end up with a defensive/support set, something of a weird role for a starter.

[Sephirtoh_Masamune]

I shall be choosing Chikorita. For the sheer fact that it makes the game harder.

To help my hardness of the game even more. I'll pick 5 more pokemon to make a 6 man team. I shall raise the 6 man team evenly. This way, they will all be around the same level. No one weaker/stronger than the other. It'll divide the overall experience in-game and therefore make it that much harder.

Cause honestly, what's the game for if you just breeze through it the first time. =)

Wait--that makes the game harder? Really? That's what I've done with my teams since the original Gold/Silver (in the first-gen games, I abused the Rare Candy glitch, so they don't count :D). I always thought it made the games easier, having a variety of options for any situation, as well as plenty of support in case your main battler of the moment goes down...

[Sephirtoh_Masamune]

Well, If you only raise 2-3 Pokemon then the experience that they receive is much greater and therefore will make them stronger than the in-game pokemon you will encounter.

If you raise 6 Pokemon, that spreads the Experience pretty thin, and therefore you'll most likely be JUST at the level of the other Pokemon in-game, or even weaker than some Gym Leaders. Which does tend to make the game harder.

Now if you only raised 1 Pokemon, that doesn't make the game really that difficult at all. That 1 Pokemon will be receiving ALL the experience and will guaranteed be stronger than any in-game Pokemon you'll likely to be facing.

In this instance, say you pick Chickorita. By the time you even reach Falkner and his bird Pokemon, you'll probably have a pretty strong Bayleef. Which, even if it is weak to flying types, will still be strong enough to withstand those hits. Then, after you whoop Falkner and his 2 birds...what's next? Nothing all that hard I guarantee you. You'll then have an experienced Meganium...and will only get stronger from there. Not to mention if you do like some of our Pojo'ers(me included), and EV train your Pokemon with the nature you wanted right from the get-go. Which just makes the game that much easier.

[Coaster07]

I think my starter will be Chikorita since it always seem like the one left out and no one ever uses it. Though getting an Aqua-Jet Totodile is tempting...

[Prince Harming]

when i played gold and silver, i always picked cyndaquill and totodile...so chickorita for me this time.

[Kaiser Ryo JT]

Probably Totodile so I can teach it's evolved form Ice punch and wreck the Blackthorn gym. Maybe Cyndiquill though.

[Venom]

Cyndaquil
But i will never choose chikorita
For some reason i always hated chikorita D:<

[1243765809]

I chooose u pikachu (that is an option right?)

[EndOfTheWorld]

I always do my first playthrough with chickorita, assuming I can pull myself away from rockman dash and tag force 4

[Sp!t]

Cyndi or Toti

Wut he said. Couldnt care less about a piece of orregino.

[shineyaltaria]

I'll prolly just flip a coin. Meh.

Got coins?

[Sora_keyblader777]

totodile only one worth it really

[kman_cool]

personally, cyndaquil because i always seem to choose fire starters!?!

my reasoning is that grass and water type pokemon are easily obtainable, but fire ones are a bit rarer so i start with fire then catch a grass type and a water type earlier on in the game.

[exodia21]

ill most likely choose cyndaquil for the sheer fact it can burn the bellsprout tower to the ground!

[FlareWingman]

Cyndaquil for my heart gold, Totodile for Soul Silver for me...Now I am pretty set on it. Cannot wait...preordered the games, downloaded the pikachu colored pichu and now just waiting for the jirachi event at gamestop to occur, and finally HGSS.

[Fluffanator7777]

Haven't decided. I'll get one. Then trade for the other 2.

[Kovu]

Chikorita For the win

[Garchomp Attacks]

HG---Chikorita
&
SS---Totodile

[<X4>]

I was never consistent on which type started I picked.

Blue - Charmander
Gold - Cyndaquil
Saphire - Mudkip
Pearl/Platinum - Turtwig

I'll probs still go for cyndaquil, but I'll probably not use it through the game. I'll just dump it in a box and train some caught pokemon.

Then again Totodile gets all the useful HM moves

[Jeff Dunham & Walter]

I am going to use chikorita for HG and Cyndaquil for SS.

[louiebh]

chikorita into meganium for me was fail got ***** by any decent move in gold version Totodile for me again please

[S0ulSilver]

I am going to go with Totodile because I usually always start with the water types, and since alot of the gyms in the game can deal decent damage to water types I pick Totodile because I think it makes the game a little more challenging than picking cyndaquill who can just beat every Gym in the game very easily.

[VegitoTheMaster]

I'm gonna choose Cyndaquil because i need him to take care of the first two gyms and raise him up to be a pokemon johto league champion in the end.

[~GuardianAngel~]

Going Cyndaquil since Fire Pokemon are my favorite.

[Jay FTW!!]

Totdile ftw i think he is the only one with versatility nd i have a soft spot for water starters

[LordWilliam1234]

Cyndaquil. Because it's pure awesomeness, it's a fire-type, Typhlosion is even more awesome, plus it was the first Johto starter that I managed to acquire in Diamond. After I beat the game I'm going to trade all three legendary dogs (as I've always called them, I think they're called the legendary beasts now?) and the two other starters over onto the game just for the heck of it. I wonder what it would look like having Suicune follow you around? Or Raikou? Or Entei? Or Typhlosion...

Can't wait for this game. Good thing that I didn't waste all my money on Yu-gi-oh cards this month...

[Fluffanator7777]

Since I got both HG, and SS preordered. I'm just get all 3 Starters in both games.

[Aggression]

I like cyndaquil, and also, because I would rather have the rival have feraligatr than chickorita

[~GuardianAngel~]

I like cyndaquil, and also, because I would rather have the rival have feraligatr than chickorita

Chickorita is my favorite grass Pokemon along side Leafeon so I may choose her.

[cooldude12129]

Cyndaquil FTW!

[Riku]

Totodile

One of my favorite pokemon.

[Jolteon]

Gee, I don't know. *looks at sig*

It's always the same. Unless they happen to make an Electric starter in the future.

[Riku]

Gee, I don't know. *looks at sig*

It's always the same. Unless they happen to make an Electric starter in the future.

I think that would be really cool if they did. I'ld totally pick an Electric Starter.

[Jolteon]

*facepalm*.

Pokemon Yellow. They already made an Electric starter, technically.

[Sephirtoh_Masamune]

They didn't really give a choice on yellow. You were forced to grab a Pikachu and nothing else. Considering you could camp Viridian Forest and grab a Pikachu in Blue and Red makes Yellow kinda lame...

[Jolteon]

But Pikachu didn't follow you around when you caught one in Red/Blue.

Keep in mind that that was the 1st Generation, they didn't have near the abilities in design that they do today. Just be happy they'll giving the following pokemon idea another chance.

[Ryuujin]

Grass! Chikorita is awesome. :)

[bonz]

cyndaquil fore me to :),fire pokemon rule! :D

[King Atem]

Cyndaquil .

[iNick]

I've always loved Totodile and Cyndaquil is just bad ass!

[Chaostamer]

The problem with Cyndaquil is that Typhlosion's movepool is terribly lacking. I know it's just for in-game, but I've never been able to bring myself to field a team loaded down with filler.

[OmegaMan1144]

I'm using Cyndaquil (currently is Quilava... timid nature). From what I read on serebii, it looks like a strong move. Never actually used it though.
I may have a few problems until lvl 35, because his normal atk sucks. I initially wanted to use Houndoom, but ya can't get him till later.

What I'm having problems with is the rest of the team, as the pokemon I want, I can't get till later, like Lanturn. And I always use Gengar, so I don't wanna use that again. My favorite grass types aren't available until later in the game, unless I trade something over from Platinum...so Breloom and Leafeon are out of the question till later. Perhaps... Victreebel? Vileplume?

I'll most likely use a Jolteon for electric, as Ampharos is just too slow for my tastes.

For water... Gyarados is what I always use, so maybe I'll go for Slowbro.

I might use Mamoswine for Ice type... and Ground. That'll depend on how easy it is to make a pokemon relearn a move. (Ancient Power).

I plan on using Yanmega too... with Xatu as my flying slave.

[KingMewtwo]

Totodile for me but mostly cause he based off godzilla

You can catch Chinchou in Olivine City after you have four badges, so that's still fairly early.

And there's no need to make Piloswine relearn Ancientpower--Mamoswine is available in the Johto Pokedex. So is Yanmega, actually.

[kingshaymin]

Totodile for sure. First and last pokemon i willl ever use. Totodile is my fav starter.

[/v\3T/-\|_~l-l3/-\|>]

Probably cyndaquil

[DarkLordOfFiends]

I think I'd like to try Chikorita this time around. I've used cyndaquil and totodile many times before in Gold so i'd like to change it up a bit. I'm sure with the now twice as many moves and such it'll be easier to use than it used to be in Gold and Silver. Plus there are plenty of pokemon you can catch to compensate for its lack of type advantages over gym leaders.

Currently, I got Bayleef level 17, brave, and the traded Onix level 13, hasty since thats the only nature you can get it with, and i'm just leaving Violet City.

[Fake Assassin]

I don't plan on buying either game but if I did, I'd go Totodile again. Love that little ***** head.

[OmegaMan1144]

I decided to say screw everything I said earlier and traded over an Eeveelution team...thought it'd be fun... so far, it is. Just need this last Eevee to evolve into Espeon.
Flareon
Vaporeon
Jolteon
Eevee (will be Espeon)
Leafeon
Glaceon

[FlareWingman]

Got my HG and started cyndaquil.

[hugepikachufan222]

i ain't getting the game though silver and gold were my favourite and i was very pleased to here they were being re realsed but im 14 and im growing out pokemon so i would always choose fire

Additional Comment:

my friend got it before it was re leased he downloded it from japan and got it translated

[Teague]

I chose Chikorita (now a Lv 20 Impish Bayleef named Herby, lol) because I already trained a Feraligatr and a Typhlosion with good egg moves on D/P/Pt. I have never raised a Chiko before, because I love the other 2 starters more.

So instead of ending up with something I always chose in the past that will have a blah moveset, I went with Chiko for something new and that will benefit my overall collection of trained Pokemon :)

[Chaostamer]

i ain't getting the game though silver and gold were my favourite and i was very pleased to here they were being re realsed but im 14 and im growing out pokemon

You're 14 and outgrowing Pokemon? Let me just say--you're probably among the youngest here (and none of us have outgrown it). But then, you weren't exactly the right age when Pokemon was huge anyway, so I guess it's not the same for you.

[[IXI] Doma [IXI]]

Totodile, this time.

[hugepikachufan222]

i started pokemon when i was 4 i like i watch the program but i think it was much better when wizards of the coast was in charge nintendo sort of ruined it and there is only so many more regions they can make before they either run out of ides or it stops being popular
i started pokemon in 1999 i prefer the show
i started yu-gi-oh in 2003 and i prefer yu-gi-oh
i sort of like chaotic which isnt popular i started this year which was a bad time

Additional Comment:

and think about it it is a kids show original amied at kids becuase its a cartoon about little monsters that battle come on if you are like a 30 year old virgin that lives with his mum and spends all his time playing pokemon that is very sad and get a life it is ok for kids not for adults

False.

I don't know where you think you're posting, but this is a forum about Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver--video games in the series. The show is completely irrelevant to this topic. And a couple relevant points on the subject:


The game series came first--everything else was just expansion of the franchise that the games started.
Nintendo has always been in charge of Pokémon, since it's a Nintendo-owned series.
Pokémon actually has quite a following among university students and has become very complex and strategic--y'know, for a "kids' game".


Oh, and who are you to be telling others to get a life? You're 14; by definition, you have no life. You're far too young to be so judgmental.

(Also, irony: the fact that this poster's screen-name is "hugepikachufan"--especially considering that he joined a mere two months ago, but claims to be "outgrowing" Pokémon.)

yeah i don't know how to change it and originally the card game was owned by wizards of the coast and im 14 and i can still be judgemental and yu-gi-oh is more strategic than pokemon

wel lit is still sad to like pokemon at that age what are you studying how to be sad by playing pokemon

[Fluffanator7777]

So who wants to trade meb a male Chikorita, and male Cyndiquil?

[iNick]

You're 14 and outgrowing Pokemon? Let me just say--you're probably among the youngest here (and none of us have outgrown it). But then, you weren't exactly the right age when Pokemon was huge anyway, so I guess it's not the same for you.

<======iLolz'ed, at a 14 year old "out growing" Pokemon.

i been a pokemon fan since it came out and i'm 23 so is that wrong i stopped playing the card game years ago. but i still play the games

Originally the card game was owned by Wizards. Which brings me back to my previous point: that which is most relevant in this forum is the video game series. I couldn't care less about the TCG.

And you're arguing that the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG is more strategic than the competitive Pokémon scene? Debatable. Yu-Gi-Oh! relies upon luck more than competitive Pokémon, though.

And no, the "sad" thing here is not the video games I choose to play (seriously?!) but that you have such terrible grasp of English, even though your profile suggests that you're from England.

Seriously, you're fighting a losing battle here. Give it up; you're wrong.

Edit: Oops. Turns out that Wizards didn't even own the TCG; they merely distributed it, which, actually, only supports my point anyway. Thanks, Fluffanator! You're groovy.

[Fluffanator7777]

Uh actually Wizards didn't own the TCG. They just distributed the sets. Same as when Upperdeck just distributed YGO here in America.

Ummmmm... Yu-Gi-Oh! doesn't come down to a COIN FLIP.

[I_Am_A_Noob]

I'm gonna pick Cyndaquil, I usually pick the fire starter

[Chaostamer]

Ummmmm... Yu-Gi-Oh! doesn't come down to a COIN FLIP.

And I'll say this again, I couldn't care less about the Pokémon TCG. The comparison being made was between the competitive aspect of the video game (which is, I remind you, the purpose of this board) to the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game.

[hugepikachufan222]

[Cracka2daMax]

Start Tododile, trade to friend.
Restart Chikorita, trade to friend.
Restart Cyndaquil, whom I really wanted to start with, get back both.
:)

I gotta go with Totodile. I started Silver with him and ill start SoulSilver with him.

[Plant Devastation]

Chikorita, too much win in neglected Pokemons.

[Venom]

I sooooo regret choosing chikorita :/ lol

[Plant Devastation]

I sooooo regret choosing chikorita :/ lol

Why's that? Chikorita is pure win because it is know as the worst starter in the game. Just like how they said Pichu is the worst in melee, I still own anything with the neglected ones.

Because now I'm at the e4 and my starter keeps getting ***** :/

Oh. Um

Solar Beam
Petal Dance
Magical Leaf
I really don't know for this one, Synthesis or whatever.

Stats:
I can't controll that but:
Attack:178
Defense:215
Sp.Attack:115
Sp.Defense:155
Speed:148

I guess around that at 60-79.

Not too bad, but I understand why Chikorita would work for some and not for others. It really depends on the rest of your team.

My first playthrough in any generation is with a Fire Pokemon. So I started with Cyndaquil.

Right now, I'm taking things pretty slow (school's keeping me busy), so my team only consists of Cyndaquil, Staryu (Pokewalker), Elekid (Pokewalker), and Heracross at the moment. Although I'm walking around with Togepi to get it to evolve, and have Bellsprout as my cutter.

Heracross spends most of his time on my Pokewalker, since I can just take that anywhere and gain some EXP without actually playing.

[Cracka2daMax]

Do you get EVs on the Pokewalker?
I'm assuming no.
