Totodile is the way too go unless they release Black and White before PU release date then im choosing Tsutajata
Even if they do release black and white within that time, it will take the PU Team a while to put the new Pokemon in. There is pretty much no way you will get your Tsutajata in PU to begin with, so good luck with Totodile.  :)

I've always been partial to the first three starters, and always try to keep my team within the first 150 or so pokemon lol. Charmander will be my starter in Pokemon Universe.

Probably Chimchar. I've always liked the first starters, and Chimchar is my favorite out of all of them because Infernape is such a good physical sweeper. Monferno is the only really stupid looking one in that evolutionary line too, but Infernape's badass design completely makes up for it. Totodile is second in line if for some reason I decide to change my mind.


Although, I would TOTALLY choose Pikachu if that was an option. Yellow version ftw.

If I get an Eevee, you must trade me a Chikorita!
That is, if you will be playing on the American Server.

I'll probably be a follower and pick Charmander, but my overall favorite pokemon is Squirtle. I just don't like his evolutions, for some reason.

Although there's a chance I'll pick Cyndaquil. I'm going to answer that for now, he needs some love.  ;)

chimchar is the best because everyone likes an offensive starter that sweeps opponents

vs squirtle - blastoise has low attacks and maybe higher defenses but i can't even think of a recovery for it
vs charmander - charizard is alright sometimes....
vs venasaur - is good staller with leech seed and toxic

vs totadile - feraligator has average everything with no good stats
vs typhlosion - i like him with speed and potential solarbeam but has simple counters
vs chikorita - best for dual screener and bad attacks

vs swampert - is really good possible lead and attacker
vs blaziken - though lower attacks, its speed dominates blaziken
vs sceptile - good sweeper too but has better special attack though is better with physical

vs piplup - outspeeds empoleon even with agility
vs torterra - so easy to beat torterra

The only reason I would pic Squirtle is for Blastoise! :p Always cool with his Hydro Cannons

Either Squirtle or Totodile. Pure water types that can learn ice type moves to get help them defeat their weakness to ground type pokemon. Mudkip's full evo (Swampert) is Water/Ground, so it becomes 4x weak to grass and probably won't get any ice moves off, and Piplup's full evo (Empoleon) is Water/Steel, and since steel is weak to fire it loses that advantage.

*apologies for failure to quote. Didn't notice the button, and assumed it was done via BBcode.*

You mean grass type (bold) I assume?
In any case, I've always thought Mudkip/Swampert were awesome because grass types typically aren't that common, are they? Or at least I personally hate them, except for Chikorita/Treecko. I figured electric types would be more common for some reason.

I also think that fire neutrality isn't much of a weakness for getting rid of grass-types. After all, I probably wouldn't want my Typhlosion going up against an Empoleon. The fighting type weakness is notable, though, so the steel dual-type does probably hurt more than it helps. (runs away from Blaziken)

^The above is very much based on opinion. I know absolutely nothing about competitive play, so take that with a healthy dosing of salt.
