Our first main game where the starters come from different generations. An archer in the making, a young samurai and the fire echidna, who will you choose?

Probably Cyndaquil, though the way Oshawott's evolutions fit the setting so well tickles me.

The 2nd most Ninja starter

The Samurai starter

And for some reason Typhlosion is here too.

Rowlet is probably my favorite starter of all time so I couldn't be happier

Cyndaquil easy even though it's the least fitting, should've been Delphox or Charizard tbh (never used Rowlet and I think Samurott looks dumb)

I'm not really a fan of any of the three but I'll probably go with Rowlet because Decidueye is cool I guess

I already used both Cyndaquil and Rowlet in the other games, so Oshawott wins by default.

I do like the whole samurai thing it has going for it, at least.

I love me some water starters, but Oshawott truly is bottom tier of all the water starters. 😔

Oshawott is literally a samurai. He is the best for feudal Japan. Rowlett becoming an archer is close second. Typhlosion is just there

Going to be tough because those were all my picks in their respective generations but right now I'm thinking Cyndaquil. Could easily change multiple times between now and launch.

Honestly they should have gone for Chimchar or Torchic for the Fire starter

Do you even need a starter? Gameplay showed the player throwing pokeballs at wild pokemon Let's Go style.

Cyndaquil, easily. Rowlett is cute but I don't like the evolutions and Oshawatt is the ugliest starter in any game and it's evolutions don't redeem it either.

I usually go with fire, and Cyndaquil's always been a personal favorite, so that. Now if it had been Totodile as the water starter....

So the starters are a Samurai, Archer, and a Ninja(?) What even is Cyndaquil in this context.

That said, I stan Gold and Silver so Cyndaquil. The other two are good choices too though.

I voted Rowlett but unless he gets a boost to his stats, I'll probably eventually roll with one of the others.

This is such an odd collection of starters... but Decidueye is definitely my favorite of the three.

Went with Oshawott in White, went with Oshawott in White 2, going with Oshawott again in Legends Arceus.

I like each of the given starters but its Rowlet free.

How could you not want a Decidueye next to you? It's the only one with a secondary type too

Oshawatt because as soon as I get out of the gates I'm getting a Chimchar and Turtwig and probably work on a Shieldeon

This is so hard for me because I love all 3 of these starters so much...
Probably Rowlet but I don't know. Cyndaquil was my childhood favorite starter

They're all pretty bad, but rowlet is less bad with its dual typing, a bit better than shallow cyndaquil in the long run and that it becomes a ghost type in the end. Samurrot is cool, but useless, like typhlosion.

Cyndaquil as it is my favorite starter Pokemon, not counting Eevee. The other two are good options as well though.
