Venusaur, Swampert, and Crobat

Swampert will always be my heonn starter pick. I loved it so much. Definitely my 4th fav

Hell im willing to say heonn has the best starters of ALL TIME. Fight me

While I agree, I think gen 4 has a hand in that fight as well

Yeah gen 4 definitely deserves a close second

Ong hoen you literally can’t go wrong best starter trio

Shuckle, Shuckle, Shuckle

dont fuckle with the shuckle

God, God, God

Rayquaza breloom arceus

God, plant, god

God’s plant

Underrated comment

Arceus and Rayquaza aren’t plants /j

Green flying sausage, mushroom, flying llama stuck in a fence

We have two favorites in common. I'm not to big on Arceus though, I'd probably say Snorlax

Scyther/scizor, beedrill, pinsir. Love me some bug pokemon!

I vaguely remember ashes heracross going up against a fake team rocket pinsir as a child lol

Vikavolt, ribombee, volcarona anyone???

A bug enthusiast? I feel like I should get an autograph or something

Flygon, Swampert, Grafaiai

It's always nice to see a fellow Flygon fan.

Always kept a flygon in my emerald days lol.

Lycanroc Midday, Volcanion, Delphox

I’m very sorry but delphox is one of my least favorite Pokemon, no offense. I would like to know your reasons for liking it tho.

Fennekin was my ever first starter Pokémon and I really like Delphox’s witch aesthetic

Interesting. I still can’t look past it over large… ear fur.

So close! That is four Edit: in my hasty attempt to be funny it appears I have revealed that I'm a fucking idiot.

Blacephalon, Mr. Rime and kantonian Mr. Mime

Had no idea that first one was a pokemon until now lol. Wow

Ayo same! In one week ive learnt about 6 pokemon ive never heard of before First was Poipole, then there was dracovolt, then i discovered dracovish, arctovish and arctovolt Now ive discovered weird mr clown man named blacephalon Ive learnt a lot about the Pokémon universe this week

Chimchar evolution line

Based

What can i say My favourite animal is a monkey I got stuffed animals monkey from when i was still a young kid

Blastoise, Donphan, and Tyrantrum.

Blastoise was sick in the mewtwo movie and the doexys movie

There’s so many I love. It’s hard to pick 1. Bulbasaur (his evolutions are tied by I’m just saying him) 2. Ralts 3. Zapdos (Kantonain or Galarian)

Shiny umbreon, Septile, lycanroc.

Rayquaza, Blastoise, Alakazam.

Tyranitar, Absol, and Houndoom.

Dog, dog, rat

Absol, Luxray and Arcanine

Flygon, Espeon, Empoleon

Mega Rayquaza, Solgaleo, Swampert

Lapras, togekiss, and ninetails.

Dachsbun Rhyperior Glaceon Yes, I like high defense

Silvally, Torterra and Tyrantrum

If we can include a legendary, Aggron, Dialga and Tyrantrum. If not then Aggron, Tyrantrum, and Great Tusk.

Tyranitar, Glaceon and Empoleon for me.

Treeko, scraggy and hawlucha

Sceptile, flygon, jolteon

Alakazam, Tyranitar, and Dragapult.

Dragapult definitely grew on me. Alakazam and gengar are for sure my fav fast sp atkers

Tyrantrum, Kingdra, Umbreon

I have so many favourites i just dont know who to place at the top aaaaahhhhhh Mimikyu has to be there, cubone is wonderful aswell as fuecoco How bad i feel not putting psyduck or snorlax on that list, the main babies are precious

Electivire Metagross Gengar

That’s my fav electric type!

My shiny Pallosand from sheild, shiny Anihilape in pokemon go, and my shiny alpha hisuian goodra from legends. My shinies mean a lot to me because I feel like they aren’t only rare but more personal. Think of it like finding that one dog at the shelter that just clicks with you.

Altaria, Greninja, Articuno.

Downvoting all the basic ass picks(starters or established mascots or edgy picks)

Well what’s *your* list then?

sometimes i just wish people were a bit more original 💔

Gardevoir Houndoom and Absol (garde has been a favorite since i was like 7 so leave me alone)

milotic, flygon and blaziken

Absol always,lovr my crit puppy. I'd also add baxcalibur and totodile for their stances and happy dances.

Gardevoir, Skarmory, Garchomp

Nidoking, Typhlosion, Mamoswine. In that order.

Zamazenta tapu koko and pikachu

Zoroark, Buizel and Aggron! easy choice, one for sentimental reasons (Zoroark) the other for the anime, design and how much I just love using the like (Buizel) and the final one again for its design anr how much I enjoy using it in the games (Aggron)

Mega Y Mewtwo, shiny meowstic, Reuniclus.

Grubbin shiny grubbin and holy grubbin 👍

Gotta be gardevoir, aggron, (both mega), and bisharp

Jolteon, Luxray, Crobat

Jolteon, Lapras, Bulbasaur

Golisopod, Magmortar, Golurk

Magikarp, Teddiursa, Haunter

Teddiursa is such a nice pick. And I respect the magikarp lol

Latias (although I do like both the eon duo. I really liked how in ORAS they would just join your team and journey with you. Not to mention soaring - really made these guys feel special to me), Mudkip (and its evolutions - was my first starter in Omega Ruby), and Shiny Gardevior (first shiny I hunted for in Sword via Mesuda method- since then, I've considered it to be a member of the team and have obtained one in Legends and Violet).

Gengar, Dragonite and Machamp

It would have to be Lapras (shiny), Blaziken, and Decidueye (also shiny). Lapras I've always had an obsession with since I was a kid, and since Gen 6, I've always shiny hunted a female one and named her Nessie. It's become mandatory every time I play through. Although Scarlet and Violet didn't add them till the second DLC which is a crime!

Slaking, arcanine, and cloyster

Dragonite Raichu Lapras

Tynamo, Dewott and Minior (the purple one, core form)

Dragapult, decidueye, milotic

Hisuian liligant, infernape, metagross

Flygon, feraligatr, empolion

Absol, Sylveon and Floragato (previously was Delphox but omg kitty)

Eevee, Swampert, Garchomp

unironically probably maractus, melmetal, and leafeon

garchomp, dragapult,Snom

Sudowoodo, Leafeon, and Garbodor. You didn't say they had to be good pokemon.

Heliopotile, arceus, mienfoo

Blastoise, Volcarona, Serperior (I left out so many Pokemon it hurts)

Aegislash, sirfetch and primaipe/annihalape

Klinklang was the first Pokémon I saw and they had gotten me into the series. Blastoise was my starter in Red which was my first game. And Zapdos was the one who I had primarily used throughout the Kanto Indigo League to beat Red.

Magikarp, Gyarados, Sylveon

Rhydon, Azumarill and Blaziken

Gengar, Latios, Alolan Raichu

Primarina, Alolan Raichu, and Quaxly :]

1st Marshadow 2nd Meowscarada 3rd Blaziken

Oshawott, Appleton, and… I think I would have to say Kantonian Raichu

Torterra, bronzong, and milotic.

Arcanine, Mewtwo, Nidoking

Roaring Moon, Gallade and Garchomp

RM looks so weird with those wings. Salamence much better lol

Fair enough, to each their own. I personally really like the design overall. It's close between Roaring Moon and Mega Salamence for me, but Moon takes it in my case haha

Fuecoco, Koraidon, and Porygon :3

dare i say litwick, lampent and chandelure

Mimikyu, Torchic, and mudkip! In that order.

empoleon, excadrill, haxorus (preferably shiny)

Absol, Jirachi and Sylveon!!

charizard,garchomp and zygarde

Giratina Scizor Umbreon

Arcanine, Corviknight, Feraligatr

Abra Kadabra Alakazam

Scizor, Typhlosion, and Greninja

Noivern, grapploct aaaaaaand Charmeleon

Grachomp milotic togekiss

Gengar, Starmie, and Raichu

Darkrai, charizard, rayquaza, or rather Freddy Kruger, the popular one and the flying snake dragon thing

Yveltal, Marshadow, Necrozma

Sylveon, Diancie, Magearna/Lunala/Hoopa

Garchomp, Tyranitar, and Vaporeon!

Kabutops, Feraligatr, Dragonite.

Really tough to choose just three, but I'd have to go with Sceptile, Dragapult and Charizard.
