I honestly prefer any of the starters. I generally play the games 3 times so I can see the full capability of all 3 starters throughout the game. Granted some make the game go faster than others, I think they're all amazing in the end.

Sceptile being the best grass starter.
Even if one person steales waht you deserve, your reward will be even better than the last if you head down the right path.

Yep.. Sceptile is a nice pokemon in general. ^^
For my case... I LOVE water types.. but what blew my head off was Piplup=>water/steel which makes me even more happy. ^^ But the main reason was because of a penguin starter pokemon. <3

Torterra was totally the best starter in existence. I pretty much one shot at least half of E4 with him. He's so beast. <3

he's good, really but no match for empoleon.
Before you say "Torterra is grass you idiot, he'll own empoleon", empoleon is half water and half steel and grass isn't very effective against grass.
Also another thing that makes empoleon great is that one of the only thing supereffective against steel is water which makes him hard to beat unless you have ice or something.

Water isn't super effective against steel, and Fighting, Fire, and Ground are super effective. But fire does neutral damage to Empoleon, so Fighting, Ground, and Electric moves are super effective.

Having steel type gains some advantages and also lost some advantages.
Water only have 2 weakness : Electric and grass
Water steel have 3 weakness: Electric , Fighting, and ground. And also now fire does x1 dmg instead of .5. In other hand   flying , bug , ghost , psychic , dragon , dark, and rock only does .5 dmg instead of x1 dmg.
I think it make empoleon worst by having steel type cuz mostly everyone have ground and fighting.

Gotta go with Infernape !!!

But people also can't stall with Toxic, since Steel types are immune to Poison attacks. And you can use other pokemon to counter fighting, ground, and electric types.

If you go back to what I said though, I said that torterra is no match for empoleon and if you look back at what you said, you said that adding on steel type to water type removes the grass weakness.

Since when is ice super effective against Steel or Water?

The others both are much bulkier than infernape, and they also have strong super effective moves against infernape, so in my opinion, Empoleon is best, because it has steel typing, which is amazing.
I like slowpoke.
