Do we still have some Charizard lovers here on GAF?

I love Charizard, but I like Charmander more.

Also, I hope Fenniken doesn't evolve into a fire/fighting type, it's got a bit tiresome now and it made me switch from fire to water starter in Pokemon White.

I thought rumor had its final form would be Fire/Dark. Think it was Fire/Dark at this point. Either way, if not true and goes Fire/Fighting then I'll have to change my starter. So tired of that combo.

Rumours are Grass/Dark, Fire/Psychic and Water/Fighting.

Merrick's site lists Fennekin as learning Psychic sooooooooo
 
But 3 has Blaziken and Grovyle and Mudkip! Can go wrong with muay thai rooster that can bring Zard to its knees.

I honestly think the only gen with weak starters are 2 and 5.

I don't understand how someone can like 3 more than 2. Totodile and his evos are great, fucking fire badger is big pimpin. Chikorita is, well, chikorita.

Blaziken? please. gen 3 fire is the worst starter of them all, bar none.
 
If there's one thing that I have to agree Gen I* has over every other Gen is Ken Sugimori's art. It became too... clean afterwards.
I actually enjoy kens cleaner art more actually but i think both are preety damn awesome

As for startersni didnt really like gen 1s trio i enjoyed gen 2 a bit more feraligator and thyphlosion are awesome.
Gen 3 had blaziken and that was also awesome as well also shows ts badass cuz ts the first one to jump in ubers (suck it everyone else jk)

If i had to go with favorites though it would have to be empoleon that 14 type resistance or was it 15? Anyway empoleon is my favorite
 
Blaziken is just awful.

There are weak starters in every gen. Gen 1 has the advantage that the designs are very basic and universal. A tortoise, a dragon and a dinosaur. Hard to go wrong with them.

The oshawott hate makes me sad :/

It suffers from the sphere head syndrome. It doesn't look like a functional creature.

Anyone else for a bit of Gyarados?

When I watched the cartoon, I always despised Ash Catchum. I hated him so much that when I played the game, I did my best to catch the same pokemon that his rival Gary had in the cartoon. My favourite of these was the mighty Gyarados.

I also had Nidoking & Arcanine.
 
Charizard 4 Life - Charmander was my first Pokémon. Still have the same save file since release on my Red cassete and still play it now and then.

EDIT: Typloshion is still cool as fuck, though.
 
Charizard represents, to me, the best era of Pokemon. He's also a fairly decent Poke as a whole. He'll always be one of my favorites and will always have a place on my team, assuming he is available.
 
Why does everyone hate chikorita? :(

I don't. With the right moveset, it's fully evolved form can be a decent Poke actually. I think it's just that it requires too much effort to fully realize its potential, and some are probably put off by that.
 
Used to be one of my favourite Pokémon back when I was a kid, and now I'm 24 and he still is.
Always on my team in whatever Pokémon game I play.
 
Venusaur is a pile of poison dino-plant shit.

IV>>lll>>V=I>>>ll. Much better order.

IV and V and completely ugly and lame....

As you can see my order is the right, unless you like mudkips, cause then it would be
I>III>II>IV>V

^ this fool is my second favorite starter fully evolved.

As you can see, that pic doesn't even include the V starters. Have you even played anything past the first two?

III and IV are the only gens with a cool grass starter. IV also gets the best water starter, who happens to be the BEST starter of all. lll and IV also get two of the three best fire starters. V gets the third best grass and water starter.

Meanwhile, Gen l and ll have two of three worst grass starters, including the single WORST starter in Chikorita. They at least get cool water starters.
 
My rank would be Gen 1, 2 and then 5. Don't really like 3 and 4 when it comes to starters.
The Tepig evolutions are ass.

Also, Charizard is still boss.
