Poll: What Pokemon Will You Start With for HGold and SSilver?

[Babitz]

Cyndaquil, of course. Finally, I'll have a nice starter in a long while. The hoenn / sinnoh starters sucked horribly.

 

[Paragon Fury]

Cyndaquil, obviously. Best Pokemon Starter ever.

 

[Dr. Danger]

I guess I'll start with Totodile and trade a Charmander from my Platinum to be my fire type.

Yeah, I'm that guy.

 

[Nautical Honors Society]

Cyndaquil, because he was my starter in Gold.

You'd be crazy to pick Chikorita. Not only does she/he/it suck dramatically, but the first gym is flying type and the second is bug type. Have fun with that...

When i first got Gold i think I picked Chikorita, I always went for the Grass type, but because of this I think I am going to go for Totodile (even though in my most recent playthrough he was my starter) because I don't want the game to be too hard or too easy, and Totodile is cool.

Also, anyone else have like 5099429347239 Mews because of the copy cheat in Gold, like me?

 

[berault]

Totodile, but thats just because Feraligatr is my favorite water pokemon, probably ever. I almost always go for the fire starters, but Growlithe's are available early in the game.

 

[Blanks]

I have Silver on preorder, and naturally I'm choosing Cyndaquil, i usually choose the fire type, also because they are always awesome

 

[gigastrike]

What's with all the Chikorita hate?

I actually might trade a level 5 Scyther from Diamond just for kicks. That's pretty much what I did in Crystal, after all.

 

[Magnikai]

Totodile I suppose. Although I don't really like any of them.

 

[Magnikai]

Chikorita.

I've always been picking the Fire-type because it's always been the powerhouse (except in Johto's case, where Totodile is), but I've changed my mind.

I've also been thinking about getting a few more defensive 'mons on my team; Chikorita's the only starter designed for that. Shuckle just isn't cutting it!

EDIT:

That's what the Geodudes are for.

Also, Geodude makes the fight against Miltank (3rd or 4th? Can't remember) a cake walk.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Cyndaquil because my Typhlosion just dominated everything.
I'm also going to use the same party I did in Crystal.

New stats system...Moves are based of Spec Atk or Atk individually...no longer just types. Flame Wheel is now based off attack...Hope Thph'y makes it okay.

While his Attack is less than his Sp.Atk., he has better moves than Flame Wheel. Like Lava Plume, Flamethrower, and Eruption, all with a base attack of 100, and all special-type moves. Eruption is also based on Typhlosion's HP, and since he has the highest Speed stat of the three Level 2 starters, he should be fine.

He'll be fine. Save Flame Wheel for Flareon. EDIT: If it could actually learn it. Only useful Fire move is Fire Fang...

EDIT2: Dammit, I got the base damages wrong. Stupid me looking at accuracy instead...
In order, it goes 80, 95, and 150. Again, he'll be fine.

The challenge is exactly why I'm taking Chikorita as my starter. Also, it was the first shiny Pokemon I ever got... Took ages, too...

Bulbasaur... Because Bulbasaur is the ass-kicker of the Pokemon universe.

Oh, wait, Gold? Silver? Bah, I am behind on the times.

This will be my first time getting into this game, even if it is a rerelease. I will decide upon who looks the most bad-ass.

Spoiler: Chikorita

Spoiler: Cyndaquil

Spoiler: Totodile

Feraligator is gonna rock. Ice Punch and Earthquake!

Meganium is gonna get better, too.

Flareon doesn't learn Flame Wheel...And still sucks. WHY MUST MY FAVORITE POKEMON SUCK?!

 

[A Weary Exile]

It's all about the Chikorita son.

I actually hate Chikorita, but I love Bayleef and Meganium, so I'm going with Chikorita.

 

[Babitz]

Yeah, I'm that guy.

Wanna trade?

 

[Lightslei]

If I ever get it I'll start with Cyndaquil. Why? Because I always started with the fire starters and it worked well for me.

Typhlosion can also learn Gyro Ball, Thunderpunch, Rollout, Solarbeam, and Earthquake.

Meganium's moveset diversity sucks. However, it can learn Frenzy Plant...which isn't that impressive.

And this is why Growlithe/Arcanine is my favorite Pokemon. His stats don't suck. (Well, maybe defense-wise, but...eh.)

Trade what? Do you want a Charmander? I got five of the blighters. And a whole box of Chimchar.

 

[ShakerSilver]

Totodile has always been my favorite.

Getting SoulSilver because Lugia is the best.
