I go with Mudkip. It's the first one I ever chose, since the first game i played is Emerald. Aside, I think it's the cutest.

First stage? Gotta be Mudkip or bulbasaur. Final stage? Gotta be decidueye. I do love inceneroar though just because litten was my first ever starter. My first game was Pokémon moon 2016

Yeah like in that Pokémon X randomizer

[@MadameTeqi]

So i think i just figured out why litten's line makes sense. In Japanese wrestling terms, the beginners are referred to as "young lions." No idea how that works in with Torracat but then you obviously have the Pokemon classified as a heel by its dex entry, and a heel is essentially a bad-guy within sports entertainment.

[@joshuarobinson6011]

Litten is a child, torracat is after the child first watches wrestling and incineroar is the child as a pro wrestler 😂

Wow, wasting no time with the Popplio hatred… 😅 Listen, Rowlet may be favorite, but I love Litten and Popplio too. I’ve grown to love the Alola starter lines in general 💚❤ 💙 (Dartrix being my least favorite, but not abysmal). I remember the cults that were for and against Popplio when it was revealed (not hyperbole, look it up). Yes, it’s designed like a freaking clown, but it’s really an inoffensive clown with a cute nose built like a seal who balances bubbles on it, and the whole trio references circus acts, so what?

[@patricialock1862]

Agreed completely

[@quwgamex]

My favorite starter Popplio rejected dam it solo’s most of the game tbh

[@creeperEXplode42069]

Also my fav too!

[@YangTheAce]

Popplio is the best choice by far. She is busted in every aspect and can easily find a backup plan with Swampert, Charizard and Sceptile.

[@creeperEXplode42069]

Agreed. Also super bulky and strong!

[@Amelia4111]

You cannot call Popplio a she if more than 50% of its ratio is male! All starters are 87.5% male!

[@patricialock1862]

I love how the qr code mechanic works honestly. The gen 7 games were my first games so I got to try other gen starters out!

[@Keydicken]

I totally agree with how you feel about Litten, although as the years have gone on, I like Incineroar a little more. Litten was my pick when Sun and Moon came out, and I named my starter after my cat Shrimpy. My cat passed in 2019, but the Incineroar named after him lives on in Pokémon Scarlet :)

[@RandomSrr751]

When this game arrived, it was clear to me that it was a big FU to Nuzlockers, and that Fissure at the Elite Four was just another proof. xD Despite my favorite gen being 5, I have to agree that the Hoenn starters are the best. And yeah, I also agree with Alolan Raichu’s Levitate. Greninja's overrated, there, I said it. And I've noticed the absence of Grovyle, especially when you foreshadowed his image fighting against Marowak before catching it. xD I'm glad Bulbasaur had his journey with you (yeah, I was a Bulbasaur kid in grad school; things weren’t easy for me 😅). But a tear fell from my cheek when I saw he wasn’t in the final battles. I'm not here to judge; your selected team was definitely on point. Quasimodo served well as a freaking immovable wall to damage the opponent. xD

for the best gen, kanto is my fav gen but alola has literally the best starter ever, its verified by Wolfe GLick, 2 times world champion on competitive vgc pokemon (ofc its official) and like 8 times regional champion as well. He won one of his worlds using incineroar, using it as a support (its doubles on tournaments yk). He used hidden ability of it called Intimidate, and the kit was sitrus berry, knock off, fake out, parting shot and flare blitz for some dmg (or protect if there are good damagers already). Btw, EVs were 252 hp, 100+ defense and rest distributed on sp def and attack.
