  1. I really thought Totodile would win the last one for sure, but this time around I’m positive the fire type starter won’t be as popular. My personal favorite is Treecko, simply because it was my very first starter, holding a special place in my heart.

  3. I’m actually surprised that cyndaquil won. I was expecting Totodile to win.

    Oh well, the lovable gator will still be my #1 😀

    Gen 3 starers are a bit meh for me.. But I suppose you’ve herd I liek mudkips ? 😛

    Roll on gen 4 starters, now that will be a tough vote and an interesting conversation 😀 🙂

  4. Thank you to the artist for centering the text this time. My OCD was going crazy. Anyway, my predictions are still holding up. I hope you all vote for Piplup next time!

  5. I think I like Torchic the most, but I’ve got to go with Mudkip for being my first starter when I first played Emerald! Treecko is kinda ugly in my opinion, the only one I really like from that evolution branch is Grovyle. Mega Sceptile is really cool though.

  6. The instant I saw this I clicked Torchic 😛 I mean out of all the gens gen 3 has some of the best starters imo but Torchic is too close to my heart not to insantly pick it.

  8. Yup so Treecko is definitely the best lol Not much doubt about that hahaha Also not surprised Cyndaquil won the last vote and had Totodile not too far behind. Sorry Chikorita, but ur just not that cool lol

  9. All the Johto designs were amazing. Same for Hoenn. I’ve always picked water starters, except in Yellow because you know, and X because I like Fennekin more Than Froakie.

  11. Hmmm tough call again when I was a kid and haven’t played a Pokemon game in years I was surprised with sapphire as a gift for a plane ride, i picked Torchic and fell in love with fighting types because of Combusken’s Double Kick, but now I’m a old and bitter veteran I realized I don’t care for it as much, Nor Mudkip as I’ve never used a Water Type for a main game or genuinely liked Swampert’s line
    Now I must choose between my two loves Ground or Fighting

  12. I gotta go with treecko, he’s one of the better grass starters. And with his amazing signature move leaf blade he definitely is my favorite! Last week of enjoyment until we go to the ugly sinnoh starters

  13. I just found out that Zygarde’s 10% and Complete Formes are in PokePicross. So…I take back everything I said about the new forms being anime-exclusive.

    Reply

    • We already knew they weren’t anime exclusive because they’re in that pokemon lab game in Japan. They’ve only been in spin offs, so there’s the chance the forms won’t be in main game.

    • Good Point
      2016 no Pokemon game
      Imagine the fan base, they (and some of y’all) would probably throw a huge spoiled fit. They used to make event pokemon the surprise of the whole year, so Volcanion could be the surprise of all 2016. We did beg GF to stop making yearly games, it’s what we deserve.

    • Honetsly this means the new games could come out anytime after Worlds.

      I would honestly be so hyped if they came out the day after worlds. Like that would be amazing.

  19. What if they found a way to put Red, Blue, and Yellow into Worlds this year since they are going to be in the eShop and are getting wireless communication?

    That would be an amazing 20th anniversary feat.
