You're going to choose Pombon. Everyone chooses the Fire starter on their first save.
>>
Well duh I'm not a fag

It depends on the final evo, first impression Pombon seems the best, but if Gecqua or Browt has a better final evo I'll go with them.

Im going to trade to myself to get all three starters and throw away the shit ones (all three)

Only gen I’ve ever chosen the fire starter first was gen 9

I would need to purchase the game in the first place to be able to do that

Not when there's a waifumon in play. Unless the fire type ALSO happens to be the waifumon. Sorry lad, but I'm more interested in Gecqua's evo than "shonen superhero shillmon squad bait". Have some random anon's fanart of the starters from Pokémon day though.
>>
>>59196104
I chose fire starter first in gen 4 and 9 only. I went with water in 1, 2, 6, 8, and grass in gen 3, 5, and 7.
>>
>>59196104
>Everyone chooses the Fire starter on their first save.
Not true, I didn't choose a fire starter from gen 3 to gen 8, where my water starter streak was broken by the Rabbit, and then the Cat in gen 9, I'm hopping the Gecko will be good.
For the first time in a long time, I genuinely like all three and would have no problems switching between them.

I didn't choose the fire starter EVERY time, but most of the time. Charizard, Blaziken, Infernape, Delphox, Cinderace, and Skeledirge.

>>59196104
i'm not playing wiwa because the main series has been slop for over a decade. And even if I was, I'm not picking the Pombomb ripoff. And since the gecko is goonbait because that's what water starters are for now apparently now for some reason, i'd go with Rowlet Jr

>>59196200
Unevolved starters are always cute. It's what comes after that's historically been an issue.
>>
>>59196207
Yeah Game Freak has always had a perfect intuition for what makes a good starting Pokemon design.
They've nearly always struggled in designing the middle and last stages.

dog pokemon are boring this is the least interested I have ever been in a starter and that includes starters I hate

>>59196104
>Everyone chooses the Fire starter on their first save.
I only did in gen 5 and 9
>>
>>59196104
90% of the time, I always choose Water starter and, in this case, I'm going Gecqua
>>
I already have a bad feeling it's gonna get the Incineroar treatment.

>>59196200
It's not even designed around a bomb, it's designed after a pom-pom. Double meaning of pomeranian and pom-pom.

Chimchar was the only fire type I picked because monkeys make me happy.

Water's been the "zesty" type since gen 6, so there's been a lot of homosexuality in modern Pokemon.

I don't normally pick the fire starter on my first save for every game. If it looks cute, I'll pick it regardless of its type.

1) Pombon is an ugly Pokémon made for fags.
2) I usually pick all three Types every three Gens, even when I'm not intending to.

And if Game Freak were as hideously afflicted with gay autism, they'd probably agree. But they're not, so it's not as much as you want to stamp your feet and throw a gay tantrum online, the way america's president's throwing sundowning tantrums daily.

The fact they didn't see fit to evolve ANY of the pre-evo stages Ash owned except the only one they SPECIFICALLY made to be a shillmon (while still ending up gay as all fuck) should have told you the archetype didn't exactly mesh with Ash, indicating they didn't want any the "average" children watching along to give a fuck about them (but as we know, didn't stop plenty of gays fixating on the type, facilitating the series aims of taking over the world). You can sit there and seethe about the veil being ripped off since you grew up, but that's just ignoring this shit existed BEFORE you were even a concept of a thing to your parents and had established its boundaries early.
And it's spelled "EMPEROR" not "EMPORER" by the way. Go back to school and pay better attention if you're going to try and clap back at me. Kinda hard to take cunts seriously when they prove they didn't pay attention at school, can't spell-check or are too thick to even ask google how to spell something.

I picked Fire starters up to Primarina, went back to the firelighter in Gen 8, then picked Meowscarada. The only reason I picked Prima, is Water/Fairy and those special stats negate the need to run a Gyarados with coverage to act as my Water type. But write whatever little fictions your pretty little head needs to believe to handle reality. But as I said, there IS a reason the franchise as a whole only shilled one water starter, that was laser-cut CAD to be crack cocaine to pre-teen Japanese boys. there's a reason he's still making in-person appearances at real-world events aimed at little Japanese children. >>59197207

NTA but I just played a difficulty hack and it was pretty darn awful. EVs, IVs and natures are a garbage mechanic. "Breeding" for good IVs and nature is the exact opposite of what I would imagine as a good time so I stuck to using my severely underpowered mons that I actually caught playing naturally. Running back to the Pokécenter after 3 trainer battles is agonizing and a waste of time. The best tactic is usually still just using a high power super effective STAB move. You can pull up some cool stuff with encore, disable, conditions like burn and setting up walls and sweepers but that usually is a bad strategy because taking damage is BAD and healing is limited to prohibitively expensive potions or the Pokécenter so you will generally just want to hit high power stab super effective moves before you get hit yourself. Winning didn't make me feel like a badass because I just had the higher number and/or type advantage on my side and didn't actually skillfully out-think and out-maneuver my opponent. Losing didn't make me feel like it was my fault in any way because I just attacked an enemy who had higher numbers or the type advantage.
Music was neat at least.
It just made me wanna play Dragon Quest instead, a difficult but fair and honorable game.
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise that the mainline games are trivially easy.
I don't know how underage me enjoyed these games and even managed to beat a lot of them. Cute and lovable animals must be a really powerful thing.
I should really just stick to my spinoffs, Mystery Dungeons, Ranger, shitposting on /vp/ and fan art.
