If you could have any starter, which would it be?

[PokePop700]

I'd include the Let's Go! Starters too

 

[Rock_Salazar]

I'd go with Bulbasaur or Snivy. Grass mons seem to be the best type of pets that wouldn't make too much of a mess. Although with Bulbasaur you have to be careful of its poison. I honestly think it would be cool to have a Bulbasaur as a pet because it can use its vines for many things. It can help you cook or reach for something. Snivy I like because of its design. Once it evolves it would be cool to have as a pet.

Eevee of course! you better believe that boi's getting a water stone! :D

 

[Devalue]

Probably none. Would not be a great pet owner and maybe allergies?

If forced, Eevee. Likes the evolutions. Seems manageable with its evolutions.

Reasoning on the others: Cannot give a Water-type a great life. Avoids Fire-types because of the fire hazard. Passes on Pikachu for the electrical hazard side of things. Imagines Grass types preferring to be out in the sunlight. (Pictures Sprigatito as a big sunbeam napper.)

My TrainerSona has a grey Eevee based on my cat, so...!

Otherwise, despite my love for Wartortle, it's easier to see myself with a Sprigatito. I doubt it would be much different from having an actual cat and may even be cheaper since it can photosynthesize. I'm not so fond of Meowscarada though, but I wouldn't be much of a battler so it probably wouldn't evolve anyway (maybe I'd find an Everstone while rock-hunting and give it to it for safe measure).

(Ignoring Eeveelutions since LG Eevee doesn't evolve.)

 

[Charcadet121]

Well, considering I am a fire type myself, I have the fireproof room required to raise a fire type. So, I have to go with Litten.

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

Sprigatito 100%. Meowscarada is my personal favorite starter, and it doesn't strike me as all that hard to take care of, especially after it evolves.

 

[ReKoil]

Sprigatito, Chikorita, Fennekin and probably Eevee as well even though Let's Go eevee can't evolve.
If I had to pick one I'd go with Sprigatito, Chikorita and Fennekin as I refuse to pick between them =P

 

[giradialkia]

Now that there are 27(+) options, it's hard to decide on just one.
Quite satisfyingly, my favourite starter-type alternated across generations, in order;
Bulbasaur, Cyndaquil, Mudkip, Turtwig, Tepig, Froakie, Rowlet, Scorbunny…
But then Fuecoco came along and changed that pattern. It broke the trend of being overly-humanised, gets a cool signature move in its final for, and is generally just great.

So I guess they'd be my favourite starters of each generation. It's honestly too hard to decide on a favourite overall.

 

[Sheep]

Squirtle. Wartortle is my favorite starter ever and I would never evolve it. <3

But man is it hard to choose. I also adore Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Litten, Fennekin, and Scorbunny a lot among others. If I had to pick a close second it'd probably be Chikorita..?

 

[Zaronji]

I'd have to say Squirtle too! Oshawott would probably be second, but any water starter's fine really!
