Picking a Starter (Based off Ep 15 SPOILER)

[Red_Chaos]

As of episode 15, Reborn has picked up quite a few starters in the main story. With the availability of certain starters over others, does this alter your choice as your first partner?

Chamander- Option as a starter only

Squirtle- As of 15 is found in the Byxbysion Wastelan

Chikorita- Found on the Azurine Island after showing a crazy person a chimeco

Cyndaquil- Buy from 7th street pokemon dealer

Mudkip-Option as a starter only, recently axed

Chimchar has been super reliable since the beginning for me.

[Hexagoen]

churmander cause hax~

[Knight_Teutonic]

In my most recent run I've picked Torchic. The "broken" is real with this one.

[TunaFishCan]

Froakie, protein rocks.

[Alilatias]

Usually I picked either Froakie or Torchic.

In my most recent runs however, I decided to go with Chespin and Fennekin even though they're both available later in the game, the logic being that I'd never use them otherwise. They're fairly interesting and not bad at all.

(Also early Wingull is pretty awesome too.)

Froakie 4eva

[Red_Chaos]

find it funny that most of the fire starters have 3 votes

[Antilegend]

Contrary Snivy for the long game. Either that or Iron Fist Chimchar.

Charmander's access to Dragon Rage early game, while nice, doesn't have the viability other starters have late in the game.

[Lord Tobirama]

Same here recently started a new file using contrary snivy. Has some growing pains probably up to the 4th gym (im on the 5th) but besides that its great.

Ayyyy #TeamChimchar

[Bessi]

Team Chimchar!!!no one has outspeed my Infernape except that cinccino in the battle against noel.and in the end of the turn it met its demise

[ShadowStar]

Yeah anything that outspeeds Infernape (like chinchino) can hold dat Iron Fist Mach Punch.

[Red_Chaos]

Charmander v.s. Froakie is a really thing right now, probably because you can't get them...

[alaneapen]

I think you should pick a starter that you either can't get in the wild or receive as an event pokemon like torchic, chimchar or froakie.

Yeah. That makes it so you can raise your pokede # higher. That is, unless you use the trading forum .

[Red_Chaos]

and Chimchar v.s. Froakie becomes the new battle

[Giuvia]

I dont feel good using ubers (and OU).. so probabily go for mudkip or trecko.

ahm, i dont go for a one who can be founded later in the game, and also i would choose a mon who can megaevolve.

[ShadowStar]

Yeah Mudkip is a good choice. Natural access to Earthquake is always a good thing to have.

[Red_Chaos]

some how Torchic got a up to 8 votes o.o

Yeah Speed Boost comes through~

The stupid frog pokémon still has more votes though.

[Vinny]

Turtwig too far. I'd still pick it in episode 15 and in episode 16.

When the game is complete though... I don't know.

[dankicks83]

Mudkip. Has Rock Slide/Earthquake in it's learnset set as Marshtomp/Swampert.That and I find good bulky waters hard to find in Reborn.

[JRMEB]

mudkip., with mudkip evolving to being only weak to grass, and having high attack, defense, and hp stats, only getting through the first part of the game is pretty challenging, but the rest is no problem. Swampert's earthquake also got me through Charlotte's tough pokemon squad; hate the fact that they made noel and Charlotte easier, loved the challenge because it made the game more interesting.
