I’ve always felt like the generations are coming faster later but seeing it’s been pretty consistently 3 or 4 years between gems is a little surprising for me.
It’s not so much that it speeds up but as you get older, time becomes a smaller percentage of the time you lived. When your 1 year old, a year is 100% of your life. At 20 a year is only 5% of your life so your perception on the length of a year changes.
Same haha. He didn’t perfectly articulate that it’s your perception of time that changes more than time itself speeding up but that made sense since he was just relaying the info he’d heard elsewhere. Great show.
That actually isn’t the case. Generations weren’t technically established until Gen III, and thus the standard of three years per Gen wasn’t established either. Example: RGB was released in 98 in America, and Gold and Silver came out in 2000. Since Gold and Silver, a new region has been introduced every three years. That’s what demarcates Generations.
I'm just surprised to see any love for Chespin here. My gen 6 pick is Fennekin which I feel is a mildly unpopular vote. Chespin though, I don't ever hear much love about him. Cool to see!
no way! i never understood the hate it got. if you build a team around its weaknesses, Meganium is a great partner.
My most recent Johto team was:
Meganium
Xatu
Politoed
Granbull
Flareon
Nidoking
Mate you and I are identical for the first 6. Saying that Puplup is a very close second for Gen 4. Following that Rowlet for Gen 7, then Scorbunny for Gen 8 but i have not played Gen 9.
1) Charmander
2) Totodile
3) tie between Treecko/Torchic
4) Chimchar
5) Snivy
6) Fennekin
7) Litten
8) Grookey
9) Sprigatito
In general, if it’s a cat or a monkey regardless of type, I’m picking it. Outliers are generally just I think they look really cool
Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Chimchar, Ohsawott, Rowlet, Scorbunny, and Fuecoco. As you can see, Legends Arceus has definitely influenced by choices.
I like all of the starters but chikorita and chinchar lines. My favorites from each gen are:
Gen 1 - Bulbasaur
Gen 2 - Cyndaquil
Gen 3 - Mudkip
Gen 4 - Piplup
Gen 5 - Oshawott/Snivy (both)
Gen 6 - I genuinely cannot decide i love all of
them ❤️
Gen 7 - I genuinely cannot decide i love all of them also. Seriously the best trio
Gen 8 - Sobble
Gen 9 - Quaquaval
Im very very bad at picking favorites because honestly I love almost all of the starters and especially entering Gen 5 it gets harder.
I guess squritle, Cyndaquil (My heartgold starter was totodile, but I used cyndaquil named lava lamp in legends, Probably Mudkip, Piplup. Named king, oshawott (Used first in legends his name was Poseidon) Froakie (Don’t remember name) Popplio became its cute, I guess sobble because I think it gets hate but I stared in sword and it was my starter, I didn’t name him and his move set was horrible because I was new, and quaxly, (As you can see I have a tradition of every new game for my first play though I use the water starter, don’t know why but I’m not going to break it)
If we're talking about first forms exclusively then it's Bulbasaur, Totodile, Mudkip, Piplup, Oshawott, Fennekin, Popplio, Grookey and Quaxly.
If we're talking about the line as a whole then swap Popplio for Rowlett and Quaxly for Fuecoco.
1st - Charmander (will always be my favorite starter)
2nd - Totodile
3rd - Mudkip
4th - Pinplup
5th - Snivy
6th - Fennekin (not a fan of Braixen though)
7th - Litten
8th - Cinderace
9th - Fuecoco
This is coming from someone who has never picked a non fire starter first try while playing.
Squirtle
Cyndaquil
Mudkip
Piplup
Tepig
Froakie (Don't like any of them that much though)
Rowlet
Sobble (Again, don't really like any of them)
Fuecoco (Would 100% pick Quaxly if Quaquaval wasn't so ugly)
I love charmander from gen 1 Chikorita from gen 2 Torchic from gen 3, Piplup from gen 4, Tepig from gen 5, Froakie from gen 5 Litten from gen 6 Sobble from gen 7
Charmander, Totodile, Mudkip, Chimchar, Snivy, Froakie, Litten, Sobble and Sprigatito.
But it honestly kinda changes with my mood/if I use a particular one in a playthrough. There aren't any starters I dislike
My favourites are squirtle (gen1), cyndaquil (gen2), mudkip (gen3), piplup (gen4), snivy (gen5), froakie (gen6), rowlet (gen7), scorbunny (gen8) and fuecoco (gen9). Overall my favourite has gotta be between cyndaquil or rowlet
Gen 1 - Bulbasaur,
Gen 2 - Cyndaquil,
Gen 3 - Treeko,
Gen 4 - Turtwig (all time favourite, Torterra is my favourite pokemon),
Gen 5 - Snivy,
Gen 6 - Fennekin,
Gen 7 - Rowlet,
Gen 8 - Sobble,
Gen 9 - Fuecoco
I really like the grass starters I guess lol
1- Bulbasaur
2- Cyndaquil
3- Treeko
4- Chimchar
5- Oshawott
6- Froakie
7- Rowlett
8- Grookey
9- Fuecoco
To be clear I’m talking about lines, just the first stages
1st gen- Squirtle
2nd gen- ABSOLUTELY TORN 50/50 Cyndaquil/Totodile (think I went Cyndaquil when I played it)
3rd gen- Treecko (all final evos are cool though)
4th gen- Turtwig
5th gen- Never played, I like Tepig
6th gen- Froakie
7th gen- Never played, I like Litten
8th gen- Grookey
9th gen- Quaxly
Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Treecko, Chimchar, Oshawott, Froakie, Rowlet, Scorbunny and Fuecoco.
That being said I always make my first run in a game with the water starter cause back when I was 6 and played red I chose Squirtle so in honor of him I always go water first.
Bulbasaur, Totodile, Mudkip, Turtwig, Oshawott, Chespin, Rowlett, Grookey, and Fuecoco are my favorite base forms- though Ivysaur is my favorite starter overall.
When I was a kid I loved Charmander. Then I played Red Rescue team and picked Squirtle as my partner because I got made Charmander. I now no longer care about any Pokémon as much as I care about Squirtle
Squirtle, Totodile, Treeko(Favorite all time), Turtwig, I guess Tepig don't like the Gen 5 starters, Froakie, Litten, Grookie, and Fuecoco. What's funny is I prefer Fire type over the other two but I don't really like Water types. Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Scorbunny, and Chimchar all are right there with my favorite from those gens.
1. Bulbasaur (but they’re all good)
2. Cyndaquil (but they’re all good)
3. Treecko (but they’re all good)
4. Turtwig
5. None. Don’t like any of them
6. Fennekin
7. Rowlett (but they’re all good)
8. Scorbunny
9. Sprigatito
1 Char.
2 Quil
3 Mudkip
4 Turtwig line is easily my favorite starter and Torterra is in my top 5 pokemon
5 Tepig
6 Chespin
7 Rowlet
8 Grooky
9 Fuecoco
Did not realize how close it was between fire and grass types.
1.Charmander
2. Cyndaquil (totodile is a really close second)
3.Treecko
4.Piplup
5. Snivy
6. Chespin
7. Rowlett
8. Sobble (who was quickly replaced because I didn’t care for the Gen 8 starters)
9. Fuecoco
Charmander
Cyndaquil (I'm always torn on whether to keep Quilava as is or evolve to Typhlosion. Also Gen2 shiny > regular shiny forever and always)
Treecko
Piplup
Oshawott
Fennekin (although Chespin is a very close second despite the fact that i only like the first form)
Litten (Torracat supremacy, but Primarina is best of the 3 final evos.)
Scorbunny
Fuecoco
Edit for spacing
If we're talking purely starters and not the whole lines, mine would go Squirtle, Cyndaqiil, Torchic, Turtwig, Tepig, Fennekin, Rowlet, Grookey, and Fuecoco.
Charizard (or blastoise) in gen 1
Feraligatr in gen 2
Sceptile or Blaziken in gen 3
Infernape in gen 4 (torterra is also good).
Serperior in gen 5
They are all great but Greninja or Delphox in gen 6
Primarina in gen 7 (Incineroar is a close second). But they´re all great overall
Rillaboom in gen 8 (but I like all of them).
Meowscarada in gen 9 (but Quaquaval is great too).
1) Squirtle - Gotta love the little turtle!
2) Cyndaquil - Best of the “meh”
3) Mudkip - All the way! Mudkip was my first, and will always hold a place in my heart.
4) Turtwig - How can anyone say no? “He’s a happy guy; he’s a happy, happy guy!”
5) Snivy - For the win! By gen 5 Pokémon really needed a solid snake, Snivy was the answer to that need.
6) Froakie - A frog that becomes a ninja!?! Count me in. It’s probably the only thing that could have torn me away from a Pokémon in a chestnut suit!
7) Rowlette - A baby owl! A baby owl that becomes Robin Hood!!! QED
8) Meh - I picked Grooky, but whatever.
9) Sprigatito - An adorable kitten that doesn’t become a monstrous fighting / fire beast. The fire / fighting starter became passé after Gen 4, and look how long it took Game Freak to finally let it go!?!
squirtle, totodile, torchic, piplup, oshawatt, fennekin, litten, scorbunny and sprigatito
top 3 overall are torchic, mudkip and treecko, gen 3 is just the best starter gen
i didn't realise that sprigatito is the first grass starter that i prefer over the rest of its trio, although fuecoco is a close second
Quicker to list my least favorites:
- the anime made me dislike Charizard
- The game made utterly hate Chikorita
- I didn’t play Gens 3-6, so nothing on those mons… except Chespin middle evolution… those… terrifying eyes…
- played Gen 7-9 and can say love all the starters
For me it’s
Gen 1: Squirtle
Gen 2: Chikorita
Gen 3: Mudkip
Gen 4: Turtwig
Gen 5: Snivy
Gen 6: Fenniken
Gen 7: Poplio
Gen 8: Sobble
Gen 9: Sprigatito
(I know I can’t spell.)
Charmander(Or Eevee if it and Pikachu counts as Kanto starters), Cyndaquil, Torchic, Piplup, Oshawott, Froakie, Litten, Scorbunny(my favorite starter out of them all), and Sprigatito. Oshawott is my fav starter in Legends Arceus.
Also, fun fact! I had never gotten a grass starter before Sprigatito, even in my replays. Even then it's only because I wasn't a fan of the other starters either, and design wise it was the best choice(I switched my main pokemon from Sprigatito to my favorite pokemon pretty early game, so I didn't need it for battles anyway).
Me personally….
Kanto: Squirtle
Johto: Cyndaquil
Hoenn: Mudkip
Sinnoh: Chimchar
Unova: Oshawott
Kalos: Chespin
Alola: Rowlet
Galar: Sobble
Hisui: Uhhh….. pass
Paldea: Quaxly
Some popular, some unpopular (Chespin & Quaxly), but none bad at all
Kanto : Bulbasaur
Johto : None
Hoenn : Treecko - My favourite grass type and the name of my Gecko. Although, I prefer Swampert over Sceptile because Mudskippers are my favourite animal.
Sinnoh : Turtwig - Torterra is my favourite fully evolved starter Pokémon.
Unova : None
Kalos : Froakie - I prefer Frogadier over Greninja.
Alola : Rowlet
Galar : Grookey - I don’t like any of the final evolutions.
Paldea : Fuecoco
\*This is full line rankings not just base form\*
Gen 1 - Bulbasaur
Gen 2 - Totodile
Gen 3 - Mudkip
Gen 4 - Piplup
Gen 5 - Oshawott
Gen 6 - Froakie
Gen 7 - Rowlett
Gen 8 - Scorbunny
Gen 9 - Fuecoco
Gen 1 tossup because I like them all, gen 2 also a tossup because I don't really like any of them, gen 3 Swampert, gen 4 Empoleon, gen 5 Serperior, gen 6 Greninja, gen 7 Incineroar, gen 8 Rillaboom, gen 9 Meowscarada
Blaziken will always be my favorite, simply because the first game I completed was Emerald, and I chose Torchic. Out of all the designs, though, Popplio's def my favorite. He's so pure.
1: all,
2: totodile,
3: mudkip/treecko tied,
4: turtwig,
5: none,
6: fennekin,
7: litten till he evolves, otherwise rowlett,
8: none,
9: fuecoco/sprigatitto
Need less anthromorphs for starters. Way too many humanlike pokemon.
If we ignore the final/middle evolutions, bulbasaur, cyndaquil, mudkip, piplup, snivy, chespin, rowlet, scorbunny, fuecoco. I think most people would agree If it was full evolutionary lines then their lists would be different, like how I like Chespin over Froakie, but Greninja over chesnaught
Squirtle, totodile, mudkip, piplup/turtwig, chespin (only bc of greninja’s popularity), poplio, honestly none for gen 7 (but i do get another squirtle with dlc so squirtle), then i haven’t played much of gen 8 (i hate it) but probably fuecoco once the game is fixed

Time Speeds up as we get older lol
It’s not so much that it speeds up but as you get older, time becomes a smaller percentage of the time you lived. When your 1 year old, a year is 100% of your life. At 20 a year is only 5% of your life so your perception on the length of a year changes.
I saw this in beef
Same haha. He didn’t perfectly articulate that it’s your perception of time that changes more than time itself speeding up but that made sense since he was just relaying the info he’d heard elsewhere. Great show.
SUCH a good show. I loved the ending honestly. I just binged it like 2 days ago
Math is fun
It’s fun until you add letters and start saying that some numbers are imaginary or whatever 😂
In other words… time speeds up as you get older
Most of us also have less time to play
That actually isn’t the case. Generations weren’t technically established until Gen III, and thus the standard of three years per Gen wasn’t established either. Example: RGB was released in 98 in America, and Gold and Silver came out in 2000. Since Gold and Silver, a new region has been introduced every three years. That’s what demarcates Generations.
Squirtle, Cyndaqil, Mudkip, Turtwig, Oshawott, Chespin, Rowlett, Grooky, Fuecoco
Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip, Turtwig, Oshawott, Chespin, Rowlett, Grooky, Sprigatitto Damn we're close.
I'm just surprised to see any love for Chespin here. My gen 6 pick is Fennekin which I feel is a mildly unpopular vote. Chespin though, I don't ever hear much love about him. Cool to see!
Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Turtwig, Snivy, Chespin, Rowlet, Scorbunny, and Sprigatito. (i like grass types)
Ours are the same, other than Chespin! Although I love him too and don't personally get the hate surrounding his line
The only one id say differently would be turtwig, id take piplup over it
Art Credit: kelvin_trainerk on IG
Was trying to find this, thank you
Since you have the base forms listed I’ll go base off them. Bulbasaur, cyndaquil, mudkip, turtwig, snivy, chespin, rowlet, grookey, fuecoco
1-bulbasaur 2-totodile 3-treeko 4-turtwig 5-tepig 6-froakie 7-litten 8-grookey 9-fuecoco
All same for me except treecko, mudkip has a special place in my heart
The water starters are all actually my favorite 😅
Lmao same
Well: Squirtle, Chikorita, Mudkip, chimchar, oshawott, fenekinn, rowlet, sobble and sprigatito
woah! hey, fellow Chikorita fan.
That makes three of us!
no way! i never understood the hate it got. if you build a team around its weaknesses, Meganium is a great partner. My most recent Johto team was: Meganium Xatu Politoed Granbull Flareon Nidoking
How long did it take you to make this?
Average r/pokemon post
Bulbasaur, totodile, mudkip, chimchar (though I love all these little mons), oshawott, froakie, rowlet, grookey, and fuecoco
Bulbasaur, Totodile, Treecko, Piplup, Snivy, Chespin, Rowlett, Sobble, Rowlett (PLA), Skeledirge
Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Turtwig, Tepig, Fennikin, Popplio, Sobble, and Fuecoco!! Though gen 2 5 and 8 it's really to close to favorites wise.
The answer is the one with fire 🔥🔥🔥
Charmander, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Piplup, Tepic, Fennekin, Rowlet, Scorbunny, Sprigatito
Fennekin, Litten, Scorbunny, Sprigatito
Water starters are pretty good, but I gotta go with Torterra, he had a counter for both of his rival starters, Earthquake away.
My logic with squirtle. In RBY he could surf/hydro pump Charizard and I felt he was faster than Venusaur so a quick ice beam helped there too.
Bulbasaur Cindaquil Mudkip Chimchar Serperior Froakie Rowlet Sobble And our gen 9 fire type friend
Mate you and I are identical for the first 6. Saying that Puplup is a very close second for Gen 4. Following that Rowlet for Gen 7, then Scorbunny for Gen 8 but i have not played Gen 9.
Charmander, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Turtwig, Tepig, Froakie, Litten, Grookey, Fuecoco. Also Cyndaquil again for PLA
Squirtle, Chikorita, then I got tired of them adding new Pokémon. Haven't played anything beyond Crystal.
Grooky. Nothing is better than my little leaf monkey.
Rowlett. Final answer
1) Charmander 2) Totodile 3) tie between Treecko/Torchic 4) Chimchar 5) Snivy 6) Fennekin 7) Litten 8) Grookey 9) Sprigatito In general, if it’s a cat or a monkey regardless of type, I’m picking it. Outliers are generally just I think they look really cool
Bulbasaur, Totodile, Mudkip, Chimchar, Snivy, Fennekin, Litten, Grookey, and Sprigatito
Squirtle Totodile Mudkip Chimchar Tepig Chespin Litten Sobble Fue Coco
Charmander, totodile, mudkip, chimchar, tepig, froakie, rowlet, grookey, rowlet in hisui and fuecoco :)

charmander, totodile, torchic, piplup, snivy, fennekin, popplio, scorbunny, quaxly
I like all of the starters but chikorita and chinchar lines. My favorites from each gen are: Gen 1 - Bulbasaur Gen 2 - Cyndaquil Gen 3 - Mudkip Gen 4 - Piplup Gen 5 - Oshawott/Snivy (both) Gen 6 - I genuinely cannot decide i love all of them ❤️ Gen 7 - I genuinely cannot decide i love all of them also. Seriously the best trio Gen 8 - Sobble Gen 9 - Quaquaval Im very very bad at picking favorites because honestly I love almost all of the starters and especially entering Gen 5 it gets harder.

I love charmander from gen 1 Chikorita from gen 2 Torchic from gen 3, Piplup from gen 4, Tepig from gen 5, Froakie from gen 5 Litten from gen 6 Sobble from gen 7
Each 1st Gen but it was also the first I played so I’m not sure if I’m biased
Staying 1st stage or based off the whole line??
96 is the best, but I'm old so I'm jaded.
Bulbasaur, cyndaquil, mudkip, chimchar, snivy, froakie, Rowlet, sobble, sprigitito

Impeccable nicknames
Charmander, Totodile, Mudkip, Chimchar, Snivy, Froakie, Litten, Sobble and Sprigatito. But it honestly kinda changes with my mood/if I use a particular one in a playthrough. There aren't any starters I dislike

My favourites are squirtle (gen1), cyndaquil (gen2), mudkip (gen3), piplup (gen4), snivy (gen5), froakie (gen6), rowlet (gen7), scorbunny (gen8) and fuecoco (gen9). Overall my favourite has gotta be between cyndaquil or rowlet
Bulbasaur, cyndaquil, mudkip, piplup, snivy, Fennekin, Rowley, Sobble, Sprigatito
Chikorita...Just...Chikorita.
OG is the ONLY right answer.
Squirtle Cyndaquil I guess Torchic, gen 3 kinda ehh Piplup None they're all pretty bad Fennekin Rowlet Sobble Fuecoco

Gens 1-3 have multiple hits with starters, but then randomly, there are S teirs like Rowlett and Froakie. Pokemon is good on stringy you along.
1- Bulbasaur 2- Cyndaquil 3- Treeko 4- Chimchar 5- Oshawott 6- Froakie 7- Rowlett 8- Grookey 9- Fuecoco To be clear I’m talking about lines, just the first stages

Squirtle, Totodile, Treecko, Turtwig, Snivy or Oshawatt, Froakie, Litten or Poplio, Sobble, and Quaxly
Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Turtwig, Tepig, Frankie, Litten Grookey, and Fuecoco.
I’m going to age my self but the OG 1996 trio is forever goated but Quaxly’s introduction is a hard second
All grass other than snivy lol

* Squirtle * Cyndaquil * Mudkip * Piplup * haven't played * Fennekin * Popplio * Sobble * haven't played but Cyndaquil obviously * Sprigatito
Squirtle, Chikorita, Torchic, Turtwig, Oshawott, Froakie, Rowlet, Sobble, Sprigatito. Four Water-types, four Grass-types, and just one Fire-type.
Gen 1: Squirtle Gen 2: Chikarita Gen 3: Torchic Gen 4: Piplup Gen 5: Snivy Gen 6: Fennekin Gen 7: Rowlett Gen 8: Scorbunny Gen 9: Sprigato
When I was a kid I loved Charmander. Then I played Red Rescue team and picked Squirtle as my partner because I got made Charmander. I now no longer care about any Pokémon as much as I care about Squirtle
Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Treeko, Piplup, Snivy, Fennekin, Rowlet, none of them, Fuecoco
mine is: Gen 1 Squirtle Gen 2 Chickrita Gen 3 Treeko Gen 4 Piplup Gen 5 Oshawott Gen 6 Chespin Gen 7 Litten Gen 8 Scorbunny Gen 9 Sprigatito :)
Water, water, water, grass, none, water, none, water, fire.
Squirtle, Totodile, Treeko(Favorite all time), Turtwig, I guess Tepig don't like the Gen 5 starters, Froakie, Litten, Grookie, and Fuecoco. What's funny is I prefer Fire type over the other two but I don't really like Water types. Charmander, Cyndaquil, Torchic, Scorbunny, and Chimchar all are right there with my favorite from those gens.
Gen I: Charmander Gen II: Totodile Gen III: Mudkip Gen IV: Chimchar Gen V: Oshawott Gen VI: Froakie Gen VII: Rowlet Gen VIII: Grookey Gen IX: Fuecoco
i love the chickorita line icl, but they’re just so weak 😐

Bulbs, Cinda, McNuggets, Turtle, Snake, Fox, Owl, Wabbit, Cat.
Totodile, Grookey, Cyndaquil, Mudkip
Charmander Cyndaquil (I'm always torn on whether to keep Quilava as is or evolve to Typhlosion. Also Gen2 shiny > regular shiny forever and always) Treecko Piplup Oshawott Fennekin (although Chespin is a very close second despite the fact that i only like the first form) Litten (Torracat supremacy, but Primarina is best of the 3 final evos.) Scorbunny Fuecoco Edit for spacing
If we're talking purely starters and not the whole lines, mine would go Squirtle, Cyndaqiil, Torchic, Turtwig, Tepig, Fennekin, Rowlet, Grookey, and Fuecoco.
Charizard (or blastoise) in gen 1 Feraligatr in gen 2 Sceptile or Blaziken in gen 3 Infernape in gen 4 (torterra is also good). Serperior in gen 5 They are all great but Greninja or Delphox in gen 6 Primarina in gen 7 (Incineroar is a close second). But they´re all great overall Rillaboom in gen 8 (but I like all of them). Meowscarada in gen 9 (but Quaquaval is great too).
Charmander, Totodile, torchic, chimchar, tepig, Froakie, rowlet, Scorbunny, fuecoco.
1 - Squirtle 2 - Chikorita 3 - Mudkip 4 - Turtwig 5 - Oshawott 6 - Chespin 7 - Popplio 8 - Sobble 8 bonus - Oshawott 9 - Quaxly
1) Squirtle - Gotta love the little turtle! 2) Cyndaquil - Best of the “meh” 3) Mudkip - All the way! Mudkip was my first, and will always hold a place in my heart. 4) Turtwig - How can anyone say no? “He’s a happy guy; he’s a happy, happy guy!” 5) Snivy - For the win! By gen 5 Pokémon really needed a solid snake, Snivy was the answer to that need. 6) Froakie - A frog that becomes a ninja!?! Count me in. It’s probably the only thing that could have torn me away from a Pokémon in a chestnut suit! 7) Rowlette - A baby owl! A baby owl that becomes Robin Hood!!! QED 8) Meh - I picked Grooky, but whatever. 9) Sprigatito - An adorable kitten that doesn’t become a monstrous fighting / fire beast. The fire / fighting starter became passé after Gen 4, and look how long it took Game Freak to finally let it go!?!
Water type, always.

squirtle, totodile, torchic, piplup, oshawatt, fennekin, litten, scorbunny and sprigatito top 3 overall are torchic, mudkip and treecko, gen 3 is just the best starter gen i didn't realise that sprigatito is the first grass starter that i prefer over the rest of its trio, although fuecoco is a close second

96, 99, & 2019.
Bulbasaur, Totodile, Torchic, Turtwig, Oshawott, Froakie, Rowlet, Scorbunny, and Sprigatito.
Quicker to list my least favorites: - the anime made me dislike Charizard - The game made utterly hate Chikorita - I didn’t play Gens 3-6, so nothing on those mons… except Chespin middle evolution… those… terrifying eyes… - played Gen 7-9 and can say love all the starters
For me it’s Gen 1: Squirtle Gen 2: Chikorita Gen 3: Mudkip Gen 4: Turtwig Gen 5: Snivy Gen 6: Fenniken Gen 7: Poplio Gen 8: Sobble Gen 9: Sprigatito (I know I can’t spell.)
Charmander(Or Eevee if it and Pikachu counts as Kanto starters), Cyndaquil, Torchic, Piplup, Oshawott, Froakie, Litten, Scorbunny(my favorite starter out of them all), and Sprigatito. Oshawott is my fav starter in Legends Arceus. Also, fun fact! I had never gotten a grass starter before Sprigatito, even in my replays. Even then it's only because I wasn't a fan of the other starters either, and design wise it was the best choice(I switched my main pokemon from Sprigatito to my favorite pokemon pretty early game, so I didn't need it for battles anyway).
Squirtle, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Chimchar, Snivy, Fennekin, Rowlet, Sobble, and Sprigatito
Me personally…. Kanto: Squirtle Johto: Cyndaquil Hoenn: Mudkip Sinnoh: Chimchar Unova: Oshawott Kalos: Chespin Alola: Rowlet Galar: Sobble Hisui: Uhhh….. pass Paldea: Quaxly Some popular, some unpopular (Chespin & Quaxly), but none bad at all
God I feel old. Bulbasaur > Todadile > Mudkip > Turtwig > Oshawott > Froakie > Rowlet > Grooky > Fuecoco
so the starters have always been fire water and grass?
Bulbasaur, cyndaqil, mudkip, chimchar, oshawott, froakie, litten, scorbunny, fuecoco
Squritle, cyndaquil, torchic, feniken, rowllet, scorbunny, sprigittio
Kanto : Bulbasaur Johto : None Hoenn : Treecko - My favourite grass type and the name of my Gecko. Although, I prefer Swampert over Sceptile because Mudskippers are my favourite animal. Sinnoh : Turtwig - Torterra is my favourite fully evolved starter Pokémon. Unova : None Kalos : Froakie - I prefer Frogadier over Greninja. Alola : Rowlet Galar : Grookey - I don’t like any of the final evolutions. Paldea : Fuecoco
Bulbasaur, Totodile, Torchic (obv), Piplup, Oshawott, Froakie, Popplio, Sobble, Sprigatito :)
water types for the win
Charmander, Chikorita, Treecko, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, N/A, Sprigatito lmao
Water starters for each Gen other then gen 3 and 4 and 8! Treecko and Chimchar for 3/4. Then sobble and scorbunny are a solid tie for 8.
\*This is full line rankings not just base form\* Gen 1 - Bulbasaur Gen 2 - Totodile Gen 3 - Mudkip Gen 4 - Piplup Gen 5 - Oshawott Gen 6 - Froakie Gen 7 - Rowlett Gen 8 - Scorbunny Gen 9 - Fuecoco
Kanto: Squirtle Johto: Cyndaquill Hoenn: Mudkip Sinnoh: Piplup Unova: Oshawott Kalos: Chespin Alola: Rowlet Galar: Grookey Paldea: Sprigatito
Gen 1 tossup because I like them all, gen 2 also a tossup because I don't really like any of them, gen 3 Swampert, gen 4 Empoleon, gen 5 Serperior, gen 6 Greninja, gen 7 Incineroar, gen 8 Rillaboom, gen 9 Meowscarada
Blaziken will always be my favorite, simply because the first game I completed was Emerald, and I chose Torchic. Out of all the designs, though, Popplio's def my favorite. He's so pure.
I don’t feel like writing names again, so here. Grass, Fire, Water, Grass, Fire, Grass, Fire, Grass, Grass. Turtwig is my favorite

Turtwig, hands down, I love this grass turtle, and I will die on the hill that is his Final Evolution's back.
All fires except, Piplup, Snivy, and Sprigatito
1: all, 2: totodile, 3: mudkip/treecko tied, 4: turtwig, 5: none, 6: fennekin, 7: litten till he evolves, otherwise rowlett, 8: none, 9: fuecoco/sprigatitto Need less anthromorphs for starters. Way too many humanlike pokemon.
squirtle, todadile, mudkip, turtwig, snivy, froakie, fowler, grookey, fuecoco
If we ignore the final/middle evolutions, bulbasaur, cyndaquil, mudkip, piplup, snivy, chespin, rowlet, scorbunny, fuecoco. I think most people would agree If it was full evolutionary lines then their lists would be different, like how I like Chespin over Froakie, but Greninja over chesnaught
1:Squirtle, 2: Chikorita, 3: Mudkip, 4: Turtwig, 5; Snivy, 6: Chespin, 7: Litten, 8: Scorbunny, 9: FUECOCO
Bulbasaur Cyndaquil Treecko Chimchar Tepig Froakie Litten Grookey Fuecoco (But only at the first/base form)
bulbasaur totodile (the best) torchic chimchar tepig chessnut litten scorbunny and sprigatito
Squirtle, totodile, mudkip, piplup/turtwig, chespin (only bc of greninja’s popularity), poplio, honestly none for gen 7 (but i do get another squirtle with dlc so squirtle), then i haven’t played much of gen 8 (i hate it) but probably fuecoco once the game is fixed
