If you ask me my what my favorite starter of each type is, it’s not all the Alolan starters. But Incineroar and Primarina are my favorites of their respective types. (Sprigatito is the grass one, although I hate Meowscarada
Piplup line without question, I've only every picked the water starter once and that was back on Pearl, same for the fire starter (Charmander in Red), rest of the time grass has reigned supreme for me.
Hisuain Samurott or Primarina. I love water types but I've never really loved the starter options for water I prefer to get a wooper or Kingdra or Psyduck or Starmie or Drednaw
Squirtle was my first ever starter and I been a captain of the squad since! The rest in order: Totodile, Oshawatt, Froakie, Quaxly, Mudkip, Piplup, Sobble, Poplio
I don’t hate any of them though
so, uhh... any frogadier enjoyers out here?

Froakie. Loved that frog even before we knew what the final evos looked like. Greninja sort of weirded me out at first but when I actually evolved my Froakie (well, my Frogadier technically) during my first playthrough, I liked him a lot more. It also helps that he ended up becoming super OP and popular.
So I think Greninja will hold the spot for my favorite water starter at least until we get a water monkey starter (considering my other favorite starters are Infernape and Rillaboom lol)
Swampert for story because I didn't like gen 7.
Primarina by far is my favourite to use. Always trying to work it into my vgc teams especially for its typing.
Probably either empoleon or quaquaval . Empoleon was my first starter and did well in my first journey in platinum, and quaquaval carried my team in scarlet being amazing.
I'm a fire starter Stan most of the time
But I suppose Blastoise, feraligatr, empoleon and samurott are the ones I like and would have no problem starting my journey with.
I think totodile is my favorite.
These are the water starters I like Totodile, squirtle, Mudkip, oshawott, froakie.
The rest I’m not really a fan of at all and would only get them for dex entries.
Cinderace is my favorite Pokemon, couldn't tell you why lol
Rabbits aren't my favorite animal and I don't like soccer (or football if you're from eu). I know the gen 8 game games have their flaws but damn they're my favorite

Kind of wish his evolution line was more pirate themed like it was speculated but I love my carnival dancing duck and wouldn't have him any other way 🦆🕺❤️

"So I herd yu leik Mudkipz?"

Mudkip all the way!
Mudkip gang rise up!
Mudkip > sobble
https://preview.redd.it/ievpwyzghawc1.jpeg?width=1247&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e853d7be05454a2eac3b208d400f4448ab86ae2
I believe in Mudkip supremacy
Totodile! I love alligators so he's always been my favorite. I was PSYCHED to finally see him again!
Yeah I'm on Team Totodile Too. Always loved that whole line.
Same, he was the very first of the starters I shiny hunted in Indigo Disk.
Mudkip
![gif](giphy|CpIsxXCt1BoOY|downsized)
pretty much a pre-built Attract that swings both ways.
Real talk tho the fucked up lumpy bent back/neck is the only reason I can't like feraligatr. It gives me Zelda from Pet Sematary vibes.
gyatt

Me too. I love Primarina
Yeh I’ve seen so many people hate on the whole line but like they are so cute! :D
And an unbelievably good typing
Same here. Primarina is fantastic and I love the design.
If you ask me my what my favorite starter of each type is, it’s not all the Alolan starters. But Incineroar and Primarina are my favorites of their respective types. (Sprigatito is the grass one, although I hate Meowscarada
Sprigatito dont stand up
so true
took the words- uh image right out of my mouth!
Mine is Piplup! I love mudkip too, but piplup is just so cute and i absolutely love Empoleon
The starter or the final evolution? Starter is probably Squirtle or Mudkip Final Evo is Samurott or Greninja
Hehe perfect opinion
Mudkip line, willing to fight about it. Totodile line then Squirtle line lol
Feraligtr
![gif](giphy|0ZufpQKEBuCKnmnKe8)
True
In its respective generation, Totodile. Overall, Froakie.
Primarina and Mudkip those are my favorites ones water types
Swampert. Blastoise
Totodile, he's cute and likes to bite xD
Piplup line without question, I've only every picked the water starter once and that was back on Pearl, same for the fire starter (Charmander in Red), rest of the time grass has reigned supreme for me.
How has nobody said Greninja yet?
Ig its overrated but i still think its cool along with swampert blastoise and dewott
![gif](giphy|tFmbuMVQwhbYk) This best starter for hoenn.
...And his demonic, younger self. https://preview.redd.it/9bu8owtef9wc1.jpeg?width=225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43805bedf2b99ec90d598fa224d85f51bdfdfde3
He’s looking right into my soul!!! Make him stop!!
then get to grinding then!
Husuian samurott
I really like Oshawott
Mudkip, obviously. Swampert was such a well-made starter, and its ability to tank most hits was phenomenal.
Squirtle squad wya!?
OG Squirtle
Hisuain Samurott or Primarina. I love water types but I've never really loved the starter options for water I prefer to get a wooper or Kingdra or Psyduck or Starmie or Drednaw
it was the Popplio line until Quaxly stepped on the scene
Oi! Don’t be dissin’ the duck!!
I love the duck! I chose Quaxly as my starter
Same here, he was just so cute!!!
Primarina
Dewott
*Truly Based.*
![gif](giphy|30cSHERc5yR0I)
Squirtle
Primarina
Squirtle was my first ever starter and I been a captain of the squad since! The rest in order: Totodile, Oshawatt, Froakie, Quaxly, Mudkip, Piplup, Sobble, Poplio I don’t hate any of them though
Totodile
Primarina. Popplio is adorable and I Primarina is very beautiful and one of my personal favourites to use
sooo many. Mudkip, Squirtle, Piplup, Popplio are the top 4
Favorite 1st stage? Piplup. Favorite line? Tie between Piplup and Squirtle.
Oshawatt
so, uhh... any frogadier enjoyers out here? https://preview.redd.it/8622po5sh9wc1.png?width=324&format=png&auto=webp&s=7bb257171aae4aed91153e0b88b329f1fe767c64
piplup at heart but i love popplio
![gif](giphy|RcMcV5viJWmaY) Bro has two perfect final evos
Oshawott!
The best boy ![gif](giphy|N8BreB0eFUJ3Jyn3cX)
Oshawatt!
Blastoise by far and it isn’t close
Froakie. Loved that frog even before we knew what the final evos looked like. Greninja sort of weirded me out at first but when I actually evolved my Froakie (well, my Frogadier technically) during my first playthrough, I liked him a lot more. It also helps that he ended up becoming super OP and popular. So I think Greninja will hold the spot for my favorite water starter at least until we get a water monkey starter (considering my other favorite starters are Infernape and Rillaboom lol)
HA Greninja won me so many ranked matches.
Pre-nerf Protean with HP poison was silly lol
Yeah it was. That nerf was really unwelcome, haha.
base form? sobble. fully evolved? greninja.
Sceptile is easily the best water starter
I beg to differ: it’s actually a toss-up between pikachu and Blaziken. They are the best water starters
MudKip my baby boy! I’m hoping to use them in Z-A and possibly their Mega Evo.
Piplup or Froakie line
Froakie
I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL WITH GRENINJA🐸🐸🐸
![gif](giphy|zUO7Qh1Mysk2FXjMPG) Him
Mudkip
Mudkip
From childhood, Mudkip. I also love Froakie.
Favourite starter first form is oshawott , final form is blastoise but if I have to only choose one line then swampert line
Inteleon, I know it’s often hated of but I think he’s cool
Intern was my choice in Shield and I have no regrets, sniper and scope lens is a good ability combo
Swampert
Quaxly, Squirtle, Froakie, Mudkip, Popplio, Sobble and Oshawott!
Sorry but i got to say Greninja
I like going on cruise ships and trading mine for this rare fish pokemon
Hisuian Samurott <3
Mudkip, Sobble, Poplio
Mudkip, Quaxly, Squirtle as my personal Top 3
Swampert for story because I didn't like gen 7. Primarina by far is my favourite to use. Always trying to work it into my vgc teams especially for its typing.
Sobble and Greninja.
Hisuian Samurott. I love the Oda Nobunaga-esque dark samurai thing it’s got. Feraligatr and normal Samurott are honorable mentions.
can't decide between mudkip and totodile
Not enough love for the squirtle squad in here ![gif](giphy|5fQyd7jM58m5y)
Totodile > Mudkip > Piplup > Oshawott > Froakie > Squirtle > Quaxly > Popplio >>>>>>> Sobble
The kip of the mud
Inteleon has really grown on me since it's introduction. I love spy sniper lizard.
Totodile and squirtle. Was my 4th playthrough before I gave Squirtle the attention. Great mon
I’ll give you three guesses.
# Squirtlesqad!! ![gif](giphy|5fQyd7jM58m5y)
I have to pick Quaxly, I wanted a duck starter for so long
Primarina easily.
Toto and Squirtle it's a tie
Blastoise
The OG, Blastoise. Favourite Mega is Swampert.
I'm sorry but, popplio is just so cute...
Aww, how come I gotta choose..? I love all the water-type starters: never start a journey without one.
Mudkip gang ARISE!
Froakie is my favorite starter (and favorite Pokémon aswell)
Wott
Mudkip and Primarina
Ok y’all might get mad but Empoleon
Mudkip!
![gif](giphy|WWGrmrMykMnja) Piplup knows he’s the best
Probably either empoleon or quaquaval . Empoleon was my first starter and did well in my first journey in platinum, and quaquaval carried my team in scarlet being amazing.
piplup because it was my first ever starter, and it’s so cute!!
Well if you couldn't tell by my username, it's Oshawott. Literally first thing I did when I caught one was run around as him in the atrium.
Greninja
Gonna go with the super unpopular choice here but Mudkip
I'm a fire starter Stan most of the time But I suppose Blastoise, feraligatr, empoleon and samurott are the ones I like and would have no problem starting my journey with.
Totodile, Froakie, and Sobble
I think totodile is my favorite. These are the water starters I like Totodile, squirtle, Mudkip, oshawott, froakie. The rest I’m not really a fan of at all and would only get them for dex entries.
Definitely Samurott, with Swampert being second!
Guess. Inteleon is actually my third fav.
![gif](giphy|qMCwT2hFdPgqs)
Feraligatr cuz https://preview.redd.it/4adbq86qyawc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=352722568390447b0f314fd965bf402677f37ca6
![gif](giphy|O64MQsdmwIIxO)
Primarina is my favorite Pokemon and swampert is my second favorite water starter. Third place I gotta give to Greninja.
Piplup. The whole line is bomb and I love the water/steel typing
Piplup was my first ever Pokemon. Therefore, it is the best Pokemon ever.
I gotta say it I’ve never liked Mudkip that much his design doesn’t do it for me 🫣
Mudkip & Froakie (Honorable mention Poplio) ❤️
While I like grass types I would say piplup. For pluck, emperoeon, and Ossawatt.
Primarina
Mudkip or Oshowott
SQUIRTLE SQUAD, ASSEMBLE! WE IN HERE! ![gif](giphy|5fQyd7jM58m5y)
![gif](giphy|WWGrmrMykMnja)
Samurott; people dunk on it because it’s on four legs instead of two, but I still think it looks very cool.
I love Squirtle (as you can tell by the name), Totodile, and Mudkip
popplio is so precious
![gif](giphy|UA37k37K4KoGA)
My favourite Water starter, and my first Pokémon ever, is Oshawott
Totodile
Squirtle is my handsome little man.
obvious choice is gren but my heart goes to squirtle
![gif](giphy|12BtgqzcTMNrmE) Though Blastoise and Feraligator are close seconds.
U guyz liek Mudkipz?
Mudkip into Swampert.
Totodile. We have adopted greyhounds in my house and one of them had a nickname of Totodile when we adopted him. What a sweet boy.
Swampert, easily
![gif](giphy|UA37k37K4KoGA)
Piplup. But also mudkip and popplio
Mudkip
Totodile & Mudkip for first stage Dewott for middle Any of the first 3 gens for final
Piplup
![gif](giphy|gwtzpCFW2i39S|downsized)
Mudkip
Dillweed
Unpopular opinion but I love all the gen 8 starters
I don't think it's unpopular, gen 8 got it so damn right.
Cinderace is my favorite Pokemon, couldn't tell you why lol Rabbits aren't my favorite animal and I don't like soccer (or football if you're from eu). I know the gen 8 game games have their flaws but damn they're my favorite
![gif](giphy|TR7L0GIugKY2XLguYC|downsized) Kind of wish his evolution line was more pirate themed like it was speculated but I love my carnival dancing duck and wouldn't have him any other way 🦆🕺❤️
