You can picked up the mighty
Volcarona in Relic Castle
Fire/Fighting starters leave a bad taste in my mouth. Really disappointed in reusing the same type combinations for starters.

I evolved my Tepig too late to get Arm Thrust on Pignite.

I'm gonna bench my starter as well. Played Black with Tepig, so I don't want to go that route again and I hate the other 2 dudes. I don't even have a gameplan right now.

that's the beauty of Pokemon.
I don't know whats in this grass:/ OH SHIT!
I disapprove of Strategy Guides with Pokemon. I like my shit adventurous and random as balls.

Benching a starter is pretty heartless.
To be fair, the BW starters range from terrible to mediocre at best. So many Pokemon of the same types outclass them early on.
But I still love Tepig and Samurott design
i benched my what ever snivy evolves into in white.
useless starter. Never going with a grass starter again
Hey hey hey. Don't throw all Grass starters under the Snivy bus. Torterra was a beast.

finally some Torterra love
he's still my favourite Pokemon ever :x
what? fuck dis game

If only there were a few more fire types in those games Torterra would have been everyone's choice.
Samurott is usable, it's just very plain. It has good all around stats, and can attack from either side.. so it doesn't really matter what nature you end up with. It can also learn most of the HMs you'll need in Cut, Surf, Strength, Waterfall and Dive. And Rock Smash.. so it can serve some use and it has a cool design.
Serperior is the one that's lacking, which is funny because I prefer fast Pokemon, but it's so weak attacking wise, it doesn't really matter.

Squirtle's never been available for capture. It's just one of the many things you need to accept about the series: you'll never be able to catch starters in the wild, no matter how many generations have passed.
If it makes you feel better, you can catch the superior turtle Carracosta in BW2.

We can conclude that starter Pokemon don't fare very well in the wild.
Generations of breeding in captivity have ruined their ability to survive in the wild.
I'm tired of Pokémon being spoiled. I want surprises. Lack of hacking and actually added Pokémon in as free DLC instead of keeping them on the carts should help.

Assuming that the Pokemon you get has the same ID as you, then yeah.

Whens the earliest you can get a Leaf and Water Stone?
I might want my Poliwrath and Victrebell.
Wish I could get a Staryu early on
I hate how Gamefreak handles Pokemon.
I don't care what anyone says, even though Pokemon is already fun its the one game on Earth with the most untapped potential.

You mean like Genesect?
Exactly the one I was thinking of. Of course us getting the games several months late doesn't help things.

Meh, breeding is bound to produce better results should I want to use the Pokémon anyway.
Pfft i enjoyed my starter in the first game. I will ditch him this time.

I'll buy this day one, but I won't play it until my friend beats the game and gives me the challenge key. I need to find my games case so I can breed eggs of my dream team to use. But if I can't find it...URGH. =(
I love these guys. ;_;
Ahh...and I gotta say, Nate is probably my favourite trainer design out of all of them. I'm not sure why, but I really, really like him.

Tepig is pretty useless since there are better/just as good options early. Snivy is for true Gs, which not everyone is, so I'll let that slide. But there aren't many water pokemon let alone many better than Samurott so....unless I'm wrong about that.

Haha. He'd get along quite well with some of you. At least he admits it's nostalgia.
There are so many Grass types that outclass Snivy evolution line, just like Tepig. At least Tepig is the cutest of all the unevolved starters. Samurott is a solid Pokemon, but it's really limited to being the most generic water type available with hilarious Megahorn. Basculin with Adaptability is really powerful, Seismitoad has a great secondary typing in exchange for a small attack drop (it's faster than people think), and Jellicent is really awesome with insta-recovery. And I think Marill is available pretty early in the game as well.
All the BW starters are easily outclassed except Samurott. You're only using them if you love their look, or can't give up your precious starter.

I ordered a commission from a good friend of mine. Here's her DA:

I ordered 2 other Pokemon ones in the past. A generation 4 themed team and a...gijinka (?) picture of three members from my gen 5 team.

Checked earlier today. My Target seems to be too competent to sell the game early. And my friend wasn't working today. And the website doesn't list any locations anymore. :c

aHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa
Chikorita is the cutest unevolved starter. This is not debatable.
It's true. Snivy is a stuck up snot nose useless Grasser that can't even learn Sleep Powder and turns into an ugly weed and Oshawott is a fucking clown who stays pure Water, but at least he evolves into a badass.
All the 2nd generation starter Pokemon begin cute. Too bad they all end up so boring.
