While we’re sending love to water types, be sure to read our guide to the best water Pokémon in Pokémon Go. Just an all-around fantastic line of water Pokémon, and one of the main reasons I keep going back to Pokken Tournament DX is just so I can slice up foes as my favourite sassy bird. Adding the steel-type to a starter Pokémon was a really neat touch at the time, and the look marries the Emperor Napoleon vibe it gets its name from, while also having a trident on its head and those awesome wing-swords for arms. Importantly, Empoleon also absolutely rules. It’s a really solid design that conveys the arrogant and confident nature of the whole line, while still managing to be adorable.
Chimchar is just a joyous little bundle of fun, and Infernape is undoubtedly rad, but Piplup is the sassy penguin that holds my heart and it’s only grown in my estimations over the years. Turtwig is the rare grass-type with something of a personality. Blaziken gets away with it for being one of the first and still looking like an animal instead of a human in a fur suit.Īnother really tough gen to choose from, Diamond and Pearl probably have the strongest line-up of starters outside of the original gen.
It does begin a trend that I will come back to, that being bipedal and human-like final evolutions of starters that I think have mixed results. What else do you need? Plus, fire-types are hard to come by in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, so at the very least, it provides somewhat of a tactical advantage in the early hours of the game.Īnother great thing about Torchic is that it evolves into the awesome karate-chopping bird known as Blaziken, who somehow turns this tiny chick into a brick chick-house of a monster. Torchic is just a little chick that can shoot fire. Sometimes Pokémon can be overdesigned, with too many appendages, stripes, or jarring additions that take away from the simplistic, animalistic designs of those original Ken Sugimori illustrations.

Also, full disclosure, I think if I hadn’t picked Cyndaquil here, it may have cost me my job, as my editor Ruby loves to bully me about my love of Totodile. I have to say, I really struggled to pick between Totodile and Cyndaquil here, but the fire hedgehog…thing… just about pips the post as they’re just immeasurably adorable, and Typhlosion is by far the best evolution of the starters from Gold and Silver as well and is somehow made even better with the great new Hisuain form from Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Nobody is a loser in this gen, but if I had to pick all over again, it’s gonna be Squirtle every time. But ever since the Squirtle squad invaded our screens in the anime, I’ve been convinced that Squirtle just has the most charm, and ultimately I think the better evolution. Yes, they’re awesome, but the games keep giving them so many different forms that you could be mistaken for assuming that they’re the franchise mascot (I mean, in a way, they are). As a kid, I picked Charmander, but when the time came to pick again in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen in 2004, I decided to choose my favourite little blue boy because, over the years, I’ve become endeared to the little turtle for so many reasons.įirst up, Charmander and Charizard get way too much love. I love Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle almost equally, as they each have a huge amount of charm and the full weight of 90s nostalgia behind them. Look, the first gen is really tough to choose from. In it, pick the best starter Pokémon from each gen with the odd nod to our runners-up. Here’s our guide to the best starter Pokémon. We love all Pokémon here at Pocket tactics towers, so be sure to check out some of our other great guides to help you find some new virtual pets with our articles covering the best fish Pokémon, the best monkey Pokémon, the best cat Pokémon, the best dog Pokémon, and get ahead of the pack with our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet mystery gift codes.
