I'd probably say Charmander. I absolutely love fire Pokemon ^^. Plus, the little dude is just crazy awesome.

I don't know, but I think I'm changing from Treecko to Chickorita. Because..

a) Not many people are choosing it.
b) Meganium is better than you would think.
c) To beat all of the mudkips people will be choosing.

To be honest I wouldn't mind starting with a Chikorita, I also like Meganium :)

^^ My old buddy Thinkle77 made this

[q]Either Squirtle or Totodile. Pure water types that can learn ice type moves to get help them defeat their weakness to ground type pokemon. Mudkip's full evo (Swampert) is Water/Ground, so it becomes 4x weak to grass and probably won't get any ice moves off, and Piplup's full evo (Empoleon) is Water/Steel, and since steel is weak to fire it loses that advantage.[/q]

*apologies for failure to quote. Didn't notice the button, and assumed it was done via BBcode.*

You mean grass type (bold) I assume?
In any case, I've always thought Mudkip/Swampert were awesome because grass types typically aren't that common, are they? Or at least I personally hate them, except for Chikorita/Treecko. I figured electric types would be more common for some reason.

I also think that fire neutrality isn't much of a weakness for getting rid of grass-types. After all, I probably wouldn't want my Typhlosion going up against an Empoleon. The fighting type weakness is notable, though, so the steel dual-type does probably hurt more than it helps. (runs away from Blaziken)

^The above is very much based on opinion. I know absolutely nothing about competitive play, so take that with a healthy dosing of salt.

Sorry for the very late reply, but yes indeed I meant grass type. Whoops! Thanks for catching that ^^;

I'm gonna take torchic, because:

1. I love fire types.
2. blaziken is good, very good, and the blaze kick/brave bird/sky uppercut combo really rocks. ;D

Why does blazekin get to learn Brave Bird, anyways? Wouldn't it require that you be... I dunno... a BIRD? Blazekin is more of a birdlike man.

because of the fact that Blaziken is a Semi-bird, it can learn a few bird moves: Peck, Mirror Move, Brave Bird, Im not sure beyond that.
By loving so many, I have touched their lives and helped them rebirth as well. To be strong is to instill strength in another.

Hahaha, I always thought that too, Blaziken is shaped like a Bird-Man-Flame Hybrid thingy.

Anyway, I don't know if I posted here not but it doesn't really matter because I change my plans so often. But right now I am still deciding between these starters.

I want Charimander but I always have liked to be different then everyone else so I don't want to be Identical to everyone else walking around with their precious Charizards.

Torchic
Turtwig
Chimchar
or Squirtle
I'm still thinking about it.
Friend DarkerSou1 on Xbox Live, tell me who you is tho.

Charmander is the only one out of the entire list that gains the Flying type.

I think I'd prefer not to have the extra flying type. It makes it 4x weak to rock and also weak against electric and it receives neutral damage against ice. It does, however, gain some nice resistances and an immunity to ground type, which are strong against all the other final form fire starters. Typhlosion has the same base stat total and is probably better because it lacks the flying type.
I like slowpoke.
