Although, of all the starters, my favorite is Chickorita... But I would choose Bulbasaur first. (And probably not evolve it....) That guy hasn't ever let me down. Even when fighting in a fire gym. I usually just use my starter for the gyms.
played my friends pokemon game (which I had no understanding of) from the minute that turtwig popped out of the pokeball I always knew it would be my favourite
Everyone's first starter is special; my Torterra will always be my main go-to pokemon when things get rough.
I just love the grass types. My brother thinks they're lame, because their attacks aren't as strong as other type's. But then again, his pokemon always end up poisoned and hp-drained by my grass types, sooo...
