Absolutely.

Oshawott>Squirtle>Froakie>Totodile>Mudkip>Piplup
Cyndaquil>Charmander>Chimchar>Fennekin>Torchic>Tepig

Bollox, best starter because Serperior was awesome.

Chespin>Turtwig>Bulbasaur>Chikorita>Snivy>Treecko

Fennekin>Cyndaquil>Torchic>Chimchar>Charmander>Tepig

Squirtle>Fraokie>Piplup>Mudkip>Oshawott>Totodile

This isn't accounting for evos to be fair.

Why no Oshawott love?

You misspelled 'Umbreon.'

Dewott is amazing, but Oshawott is just alright.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Uh... didn't we already do this 3 days ago? It's too early for the thread to cycle.

Ah, so we're at this stage, huh

Water: Totodile = Froakie > Squirtle = Mudkip = Piplup = Oshawott

Fire: Fennekin = Tepig = Charmander = Torchic > Chimchar > Cyndaquil

Grass: Snivy = Bubasaur = Chespin = Turtwig = Treecko > Chikorita

Yup, I tolerated Oshawott as my starter for the amazing-ness of its two evos

 

[Neiteio]

Dewott = best second form among starters.

 

[Aggrotek]

Gentlemen! You cant fight in here, this is the Pokemon Room!

 

[Grakl]

Yes.

I understand that reference, and enjoy it.

Yes.

I'm done with it.

 

[Exterminieren]

Short of Chespin's evos being incredible, it will always be my favourite starter.

It's never too early, it's a pokemon thread.

 

[Drago]

Dewott = best second form among starters.

For water Pokemon, I would probably agree. Him or Wartortle.

Sceptile is my all time favorite second form

 

[Cjdamon042]

I really wish I could change my poll option. Around all the hype and everything I thought Fennekin was my favourite of the three but I have since come round to Chespin's superiority.

#TeamChespin

 

[Izayoi]

Are we talking entire starter lines or just the first evos themselves?

 

[Grakl]

lol

Just starters. If you want to make a different list, go ahead.

 

[zroid]

Are we talking entire starter lines or just the first evos themselves?

Well I was only considering the basic forms.

 

[Hypatia]

Well I was only considering the basic forms.

Me too. I really like Empoleon for example but damn... Piplup sucks.

 

[Neiteio]

For water Pokemon, I would probably agree. Him or Wartortle.

Sceptile is my all time favorite second form

Eh? Sceptile is the third and final form of Treecko.

I do love Sceptile, though. Probably my favorite final Grass-type.

 

[Drago]

Are we talking entire starter lines or just the first evos themselves?

I was talking just first form. If we're talking whole line then Totodile wouldn't be top, Treecko line is the most consistent for me and it would probably top it. Thing is I don't like a lot of second forms :/

Eh? Sceptile is the third and final form of Treecko.

Then I have terrible memory! I meant Grovyle.

 

[Izayoi]

Just starters.

Well I was only considering the basic forms.

I will compile a list.

 

[Cjdamon042]

Me too. I really like Empoleon for example but damn... Piplup sucks.

Piplup is probably my second least favourite water starter. Mudkip has the honour of my being my least favourite.

I like a lot of second forms, but not third.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I was considering entire lines. Torchic is kind of meh, but Blaziken > most

 

[Data West]

What kind of monster doesn't put Totodile at top tier? HES A FREAKING DINOSAUR!

Grass: Treecko > Bulbasaur > Chicorita >Snivy > Turtwig > Chespin

Fire: Charmander > Fennekin > Cyndaquil > Chimchar > Torchic > Tepig

[zroid]

I differentiated my list this time by ranking them irrespective of type


I wonder if it corresponds with my type-specific lists from a few days ago, lol, I can be fickle

 

[papercamm]

In order of awesomeness: Mudkip, Chespin, Torchic, Piplup, Kennekin, Tododile, Cyndaquil, Treecko, Squirtle, Froakie, charmander, Snivy, Turtwig, Bulbasaour, Tepig, Oshawott, Chikorita, Chimchar.
Shoutout to Umbreon & Espeon.

 

[Neiteio]

I picked Piplup in Gen IV, but I think I actually like Turtwig's design better.

Likewise, I picked Cyndaquil in Gen II, but I think I like Totodile better.

Of the Gen I starters... I think I like Bulbasaur best, but Squirtle is sooo close.

Of the Gen V starters... I like Tepig best, even though I started with Oshawott.

Gen III... Eh... I think these might be the weakest of the lot. I guess I like... Mudkip?

Gen VI... Chespin... Followed by Froakie... And lots of love for Fennekin. They're all great, but Chespin is greatest.

Purely based on first form alone.

Crocodiles are dinosaurs.

Crocodiles are dinosaurs.

Actually, he's an alligator.

 

[Data West]

Man, I hate every grass starter except Bulbasaur and maybe Turtwig.

Feraligatr. The moral of the story: Pokemon evolution lines can change up their species of inspiration as they see fit.

 

[zroid]

I think I may have put Mudkip higher than I would have if not for its place in Internet memedom.

A gatr isn't an animal.

 

[Black-Wind]

ok ,then how bought this being on the 3ds

... I don't think that would have much to do with anything. Legendary Pokemon are themed after elements of the story they're presenting in the games. They're representatives of that story in a way. So double helix + X and Y Pokemon makes me think ... these games are gonna have a genetic theme to them. I doubt it will also have an axis/ dimension themed story to go along with that but we will have to wait and see with that.

first mainline attempt at 3d pokemon , the japanese titles being 3D-ied unlike any other pokemon logo, is that enough for people to see the "axes" reference along with the obvious chromosome reference and posit that there may be a Z-axis "depth" pokemon? At the end of the day It probably isn't either or .

Title is 3D because this is the first 3D Pokemon game. :/

We agree that it's clear that they're referencing chromosomes, I simply don't see the axis as anything other than the result of people reading more into the X and Y than there is.

The key word there was "straight from norse mythology", yes it's a stag, the extent by which the pulled (if they pulled at all) is obviously debatable and it could both be norse mythology inspired and inspired on other myths like wyvern.

My whole point was that they aren't necessarily drawing from any one source of inspiration.

Both of these topics will be solved with either the main story being revealed or the appearance of the 3rd legendary. So if it's some kind of Z snake and the bad guys are trying to turn the world ... 2D or something then I guess I'm wrong.
