If I'm just looking at the first evolution, it would be Cyndaquil, Treeko, Squirtle, and Piplup (in that order) who look pretty cool. If I'm looking at the final forms, it would be Charizard, Empoleon, Blastoise, and Blaziken (in that order).In terms of battle and gameplay, I would never pick a water pokemon because surf is a pretty strong move which can be learned by basically any water pokemon. I would usually pick a grass or fire because one I consider good is usually harder to find.

I think my favourite would be Mudkip, because when he's a swampert, he's resists so many elements and he's only weak to grass, which you can easily switch a flying pokemon in.

THe best starter pokemon out of all the 9 is Torchic.This is because it is effective against the first 2gyms and by that time it will be blaziken which is the most powerful of all.your blaziken should know:-double kickoverheatsky uppercutearthquake

Charizard is by far the most powerful third evolution.However, it's darn hard to train for the first two gym battles.Next is Blaziken.Then Blastoise.

If you mean favorite, I'd say Charmander.But BEST would be Bulbasaur in Red/Blue/Yellow and Fire Red/Leaf Green since you can easily beat the first three Gym leaders.

I like all three fire starters: Charmander, Cyndaquil, and TorchicDon't ask me why, I guess it's just because they're fire...

I think that Charmander (well Charizars is cuz it can fly) is the best but squirtle is my favorite

Oh yeah by the way, Charizard can only fly in the show. You can't teach him "fly" in the game for some reason :laugh:

My personal favorite would probably have to be Torchick, since I think Blaziken is awsome. But if I had to tell you which I thought were the best, it would probably be like this.Kanto: Bulbasaur, because you can easily floor the first few Gym Leaders with him, and once it becomes a Venasaur, it's practically a tank with it's great balance of Attack and Defense.Jhoto: ..... I really can't say, since I always choose Cyndaquil, but I personally think that Chickorita may be the best choice. Not exactly sure why.Hoenn: Torchick is probably the best choice. It may be at a disadvantage for the first few Gym Leaders if you don't train it properly, but with enough training, it can practically take on the Elite Four single-handedly.Sinnoh: I believe that Piplup is the best choice by far. Sure Chimchar may be a good choice because of it's raw power as it grows, but once Piplup becomes an Empoleon, it gains several strengths, being a Water and Steel type, including a complete immunity to Poison type attacks. However appealing to the eye Chimchar may be, it pays off later on to chose Piplup instead.

Charmander!!! although weak in the start, he becomes amazingly powerful later on in the game and can destroy anything in its path. B)Charmander!!! although weak in the start, he becomes amazingly powerful later on in the game and can destroy anything in its path. B)
