    I think this is more preference based rather than fact based. For me it's because I prefer fire type starters over the others.

    I've always been a Bulbasaur guy. I liked that he got you through the first couple of gyms easily, but, Bulbasaur(along with Ivysaur and Venusaur)has always been one of my favourites in general.

    Do you mean which is best from a competitive perspective? Because the answer is objectively Bulbasaur.

    Or are you asking which we like the most?

    bulbasaur

    The Kanto starters are, objectively; my least favourite starter trio. They are over popular, so overpopular that I HATE THEM

    @PokemiiAC The fact that they are your least favourite may indeed be an objective fact, but what are the criteria you use to judge them as the worst starters?

    Is it simply the fact that they are popular? Or is there something else you dislike about them?
