Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ General Pokémon _ Least Favorite Starter

Posted by: Dark Heart Nov 6 2011, 11:31 AM

Which Starter do you dislike the most?

For me personally it's Tepig for the fact that it's existence is so ironic.

Posted by: Slusha Nov 6 2011, 12:22 PM

i'm not sure really, but i think mine would be tepig too.

Posted by: BarkingChaos Nov 6 2011, 05:06 PM

Tirtwig. I hate everything about its line. Its so ugly and hard to look at. Thats an example of too much detail and too muted color scheme killing something.

Posted by: Ritsukah Nov 6 2011, 05:14 PM

Probably Turtwig. *Shudders* Or maybe Mudkip - it's evo's are just an eye-gaucher. Wait no OMG, chikorita ._.

Posted by: Rainbow Bounce Dec 29 2011, 03:09 PM

Mudkip

Posted by: ReiRaa Dec 30 2011, 05:34 PM

Chikoritha. The TV-series killed it for me.

Posted by: Whitefire321 Dec 30 2011, 05:39 PM

I'd have to say Chimchar, Piplup, aaand Oshawott.

monkeys; final evo fail; and otter to sea lion?

Posted by: Indoor Survival Dec 30 2011, 05:41 PM

Same here, ReiRaa.

I always associate Chikorita with a whiny, selfish, clingy jerk, so I never use it. Thanks, anime! dry.gif

Yup. The Japanese audience likes that, though. I'll never understand why..

Posted by: Giraffe A Laugh Dec 30 2011, 05:52 PM

:| I pretty much dislike all of the starters, but 1st/2nd gen ones aha
most disliked one of them all though is piplup.
The anime made the voice so annoying, just as annoying as that talking shaymin.

Posted by: Disgracik Dec 30 2011, 06:33 PM

Mudkip, Piplup and Tepig... All of them, 'cause of ugly, in someway, evolutions... Also Mudkip and Piplup for their voices, Mudkip in English series and piplup in Japanese ones...

Posted by: Synx Itax Dec 31 2011, 03:22 AM

Mudkip. :/ Just ugly.

Posted by: Shinzu Jan 1 2012, 10:09 PM

Squirtle. )< I've always disliked it for some reason or other- can't just put my finger on it.

Posted by: mptiger Jan 1 2012, 10:35 PM

Bulbasaur ofc. Compared to Charmander or Squirtle, it's basically a useless piece of crap.
I don't really have much of a problem with the other starters though, I just really dislike Bulbasaur. Though I'll admit it is kind of cute. c:

Posted by: SodaPopCherry Jan 1 2012, 10:45 PM

Torchic and Piplip. I have some thing against bird Pokemon. Not sure why.

Posted by: Katou Jan 2 2012, 07:21 AM

Mudkip. I don't like Marshtomp... >_>

Posted by: Wastelander Jan 2 2012, 07:30 AM

Piplup and Bulbasaur. They're just so bleh to me. :/

Posted by: Purrolina Jan 2 2012, 07:58 AM

Mudkip and Treecko.
I love all the starters, but I don't mind this two x3

Posted by: Grey Warden Jan 3 2012, 08:16 AM

Lol, second gen starters.

I dislike Cyndaquil because I associate it with ex-boyfriend and his lack of ability to form an intelligent sentence that doesn't include Call Of Duty. Such incompetence angers me, I can scarcely believe I dated an idiot...
Oh, and I've always disliked the other two.

Posted by: deadrose Jan 3 2012, 03:19 PM

Chikorita and Mudkip. They're not too bad to look at, but I can't stand using them, or their evolutions in battle.

Posted by: Luckybros Jan 4 2012, 11:30 AM

Turtwig. Stupid turt!

Damn that sucks :/

Although I agree with dislike towards Cyndaquil Coincidence i associate it with an ex-boyfriend too..

He used to love it. I always hated it. Not I hate it even more ~

Posted by: the1stpkmnfan Jan 7 2012, 04:17 PM

My least favorite would have to be Turtwig, since I barely choose it in my DPPt games and it doesn't interest me so much. Not that its a terrible Pokemon.

I'd also say the Tepig line; because it barely learns natural Fighting type moves and it's fire moves are really random. I used it once in my White run, but it wasn't working out for me. I liked Oshawott better.

Posted by: Nikki101709 Jan 7 2012, 04:30 PM

I don't really like tepig.

I thought I was silly for thinking that way. 'Tis good I'm not the only one. :)

Posted by: Ross Hitchman Jan 26 2012, 07:53 PM

It'd have to be Torchic or Chimchar. I would say Turtwig too but I freaking love Torterra.

With Torchic, I've never liked it nor its evolutions. Same for Chimchar.

Posted by: Sugar Motta Feb 20 2012, 05:51 PM

Piplup and Turtwig. p:

Posted by: ShadowMightyena Feb 20 2012, 07:01 PM

I don't really hate any of them but Chimchar and Totodile are among my least fav.

Posted by: White Rock Shooter Feb 20 2012, 07:07 PM

I'd usually say Treecko, Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup tied
but I like at least one of the evolutions of each... except Chimchar
I freaking hate Chimchar, Monferno and Infernape

Posted by: Dakota the Lugia Feb 20 2012, 08:05 PM

Hmm thats hard, mind If I list them off? xD

1. Bulbasaur- I just do NOT like its looks noes.gif
2. Squirtle- nooooo
3. Tepig- 8I
4. Tirtwig- noope
5. Mudkip- Idk, just dont really like it =/
5. Chimchar- gets. on. my. nerves >_>

Posted by: The Real Folk Blues Feb 21 2012, 09:58 AM

Torchic and Turtwig... maybe Tepig too.

Torchic's evos are just ugly, Torterra's design is too weird, and Tepig is yet another fire/fighting starter.

Posted by: Kazyx Feb 22 2012, 12:22 PM

I'd have to say my least favorite starter has to be Chimchar. It's hideous in every single stage, and it made the Fire/Fighting trend not stop since Gen 3. Blaziken was the first, and the only one that should be. >B(

Posted by: purple umbreon Feb 22 2012, 12:26 PM

tepig and piplup
I cant help it

Posted by: Cyndaquil5 Feb 22 2012, 10:16 PM

I hate
1: bulbsaur: what is it?
2: chikorita: ^ and it is gay over there snuggling ash
3: mudkip: WHY DOES IT EXIST. I just hate it period
4: torchic: It evolves into a speed uber
5: chimchar: it is ugly and terrible till it evolves
6: piplup: it is ugly every evo i don't know how dawn could carry it around
7: turtwig: OMG EW ANOTHER BALBASUAR
8: oshiwatt: it is easier on the eye than piplup but it acts stupid in the anime
9: tepig: omg it is another remake of camerupt <3 *evos* EW get out of my sight you ugly thing you
10: snivy: kewl ew your ugly when you evo and you don't know many good moves
(In order by GEN.)

I like
charmander
cyndaquil
totodile
and sceptile yourmove.gif

Posted by: Toxiik Feb 26 2012, 06:02 PM

Mudkip and his evos. noes.gif

I adore all the other starters.

Posted by: Lieutenant Sadism Feb 26 2012, 06:50 PM

Treeko and it's whole evo chain. I can only tolerate Grovyle simply because of his role in Mystery Dungeon.

Posted by: FirePower Mar 8 2012, 08:36 PM

Personally my least favorite would have to be Tepig. I rather like Tepig itself, but the evolutions. No, just no. But if it were to be just the starter itself, I would have to say Mudkip. (And am I the only one who's noticed that nobody's directly hated on Charmander?)

Posted by: Lacrymosa Mar 9 2012, 12:44 PM

Everything about Chimchar and Tepig lines is just terrible.

Posted by: Whitefire321 Mar 9 2012, 05:07 PM

chimchar. I just don't like monkeys.

Posted by: espeon40 Mar 9 2012, 05:30 PM

No offense, but I vote Totodile. Okay, he's a crocodile, but he's not cool to me. bored.gif

However, I think that Squirtle's pretty cool...

Posted by: Rhapsody Mar 9 2012, 08:50 PM

My tastes have changed a bit over the years, but for now my least favorite is the Chimchar line. Infernape is okay, but that's about it. I really don't like Combusken and Venusaur, either. I don't find them aesthetically pleasing at all.

Posted by: Viccy Kimiyo Mizushima Mar 9 2012, 11:21 PM

It'd have to be Chimchar and Tepig for me ^^; I mean, fire types are nice, but the whole typing issue following Torchic (which I think is cute) just ruined it for me. While I do like Infernape's design, I'm not too fond of Emboar.

Posted by: Ritsukah Mar 10 2012, 06:59 AM

Turtwig. That... that abomination is.. is just... ಠ_ಠ And probably Mudkip. Overrated.

Posted by: Barney Stinson Mar 13 2012, 01:07 PM

Tepig, I don't know, his evolution just look wrong.

Posted by: Gizmokarp Mar 18 2012, 12:39 AM

d'awww, so many people dislike Tepig. :c
*cuddles and hugs Emboar* <3

i would probably have to say Chimchar, and pretty much the whole line. i don't know why, but i'm just not into Infernape. and possibly Mudkip because of the silly overrated-ness? (though Swampert is still cool~)

Posted by: Velocity Apr 9 2012, 10:33 PM

Not a fan of Mudkip. Something about it really irritates me...

Posted by: Wings of Sorrow Apr 9 2012, 10:47 PM

Chikorita.
No. Just no.

Posted by: PawsrentOrigin Apr 12 2012, 06:20 PM

Chikorita. It's just in a bad region for it. Also I don't like Chimchar.

Posted by: jacko19863 Apr 14 2012, 02:16 AM

Except the torchic and charmander lines I HATE FIRE STARTERS Especially chimchar -_-.gif

Also, I'm not a big fan of mudkip -_-.gif

Posted by: SacredHeart Jun 21 2014, 12:16 AM

Charmander...Overrated and Stupid
Turtwig,I like torterra however
Tepig I like Teppi
Chikorita boring

Dude, fire starters are the best!
...Except Tepig. Another fire/fight, and really disappointing for a fire lover like me, with disappointing evolutions.

Kanto starts are all okay... I like Chikorita (why so much hate? Jeez, not every Chiko is Ash's...) and Cydnaquil, but Totodile? No. Well, I guess Croconaw is okay...
I'm also fine with all three Hoenn starts. I love Chimchar (I have a plushie right here!) but I don't like either of the other Sinnoh starters and have never picked either. Unova was actually all disappointing. Dewott was the only starter or evolution I liked. I'd get Oshawott just to evolve it once, then never again. Kalos? #TEAMFENNEKIN

So, my least favorite three so far would probably be... Froakie (way overrated), Turtwig, and Tepig. One from each type.

Ghe, Chimchar is getting so much hate ;^; I mean, in game... Turtwig's cry sounds like an odd wheeze thing, and Piplup is like a faded demonic echo squeak giggle thing. But Chimchar... Chimchar just sounds really happy, and the cry is adorable for it. >///W///< Monferno's cry is like a standard monkey (w/e), and Infernape's cry is BOSS. Can't even deny it.

I agree. Chimchar is a very cool starter. Not my favorite Gen 4 starter, that goes to Torterra, but I still find it cool. Empoleon's the most badass penguin you will ever see. Chikorita's definitely not a Pokemon I would use, but I don't hate it. I guess what i'm trying to say is, I don't have a "least favorite". Each of them have their flaws, in terms of design and gameplay mechanics, as well as their assets. Though my favorite starters right now are Serperior and Greninja.

And to all the people hatin' on Mudkip:

Posted by: Aberrant Mercutio Jun 21 2014, 02:08 AM

I would have picked Torchic, but it's too mainstream thanks to that dang event. shakefist.gif So, I'm probably going to pick Swampert to counter the overwhelming amount of Mega Blaziken floating about.

...Despite Mega Swampert's... uh, appearance...

That is literally the best thing I've seen all day, and just makes me more adamant to get Mudkip when Omega and Alpha come out this year.

Starters I don't like... I *hate* Turtwig. In fact, I'm not a big fan of the grass starters (although I do love all of the starters from the first 3 gens). I'm also not a fan of Snivy or Oshawott (but I do love Oshawott's evolutions - with Oshawott it's almost like the creators ran out of ideas for a water Pokémon, y'know?), and I also don't really like Chespin.

Yeah. Grass starters. Don't like them sad.gif

Posted by: Felly Jul 2 2014, 08:26 PM

The Torchic line has become really overrated, I think, so I've grown to dislike that recently. Also Chimchar's line is in my list of dislikes. Tepig's line too. Basically all of the Fire/Fighting starters. I don't have many I dislike, just I feel like Fire/Fighting became such a thing for three generations, and it felt so over done, and ugh.

I'm gonna agree with you two on this buuuttt....
I like Torchic. cat.gif
The others, not so much. Like I've said before, Torterra and Serperior will always be my favorite Grass starters.
And Greninja, of course, but that's a whole other story...
So, yeah, I don't really like Fire starters, with the exception of the first three Gens'.

Posted by: Kirigiri Jul 3 2014, 09:25 AM

I really hate Froakie and it's evolutions.. ugh they're just so ugly. (not really a huge fan of Chespin either so I always go with Fennekin hehe)

oh and oshawott too but at least its final evolution is kinda cool.

all the chikorita hate makes me sad, it's my favorite starter cat.gif

Posted by: Azuras Aug 8 2014, 08:06 AM

Blaziken (i really didn't like it's appearance and concept until lately, when it started to grow a little on me, due to the mega evolution). But I still don't really like it.
Next, Tepig. Out of all the possible cool evolutions and designs (see deviantart!!) he ends up as another fire/fighting 'mon looking horrible.
Also, i don't like Delphox.

I freakin' hate pokemon concepts based on people body-types!! They manage to make them look wrong. A few of them are ok, but not a whole bunch

Posted by: Crestfallen Aug 10 2014, 06:25 PM

It has to be Mudkip for me. I think the whole line is ugly.

Posted by: Zipora Aug 15 2014, 07:44 PM

Not really a big fan of the Sinnoh starters, with my least fav of them being the Chimchar line. Also not a fan of Tepig's line or Bulbasuar's line (though I like their basic forms).

Posted by: Flier Aug 19 2014, 12:40 PM

Always disliked the Bulbasaur line. Bulbasaur and Venusaur look ugly as hell, with Ivysaur being the only decent-looking 'mon in the line. Not exactly the best starter stat-wise either, and it annoys me how Bulbasaur deviates from the norm by having a Grass/Poison typing.

Posted by: Forget me now Aug 19 2014, 01:23 PM

Charmander, Fennekin line

Posted by: Sliggoo Aug 19 2014, 01:25 PM

Bulbasaur line
Typhlosion
Feraligatr
Blaziken
Infernape
Empoleon
Serperior
Pignite + Emboar
Dewott + Samurott (They ruined the cuteness of Oshawott)
Quilladin + Chesnaught
Braixen and Delphox (ruined the "fox" of Fennekin

Posted by: Pizza Guy111 Aug 19 2014, 07:47 PM

The only starter line I really hate is Cyndaquil's. Its concept is boring, and I've never been too fond of Fire types (with a few exceptions of course). For such a bland design it got way too much love from Pokemon fans that I never understood. I felt the Nidoking/Nidoqueen line had the same animal characteristics, but more intricate designs, as well as an intriguing dual typing that, quite frankly, all three Johto starters could have taken a page from.

Posted by: Banette Sep 12 2014, 02:54 PM

All of the fourth gen starters, and the Tepig line. The fourth gen ones are boring to me, and in the Tepig line's case, I don't think I'll ever stop being bitter about having three fire/fighting starters in a row.

Posted by: Butterfliez Sep 15 2014, 10:42 PM

Froakie, it's just not pretty enough sad.gif

Posted by: Raiden Sep 25 2014, 03:02 PM

Squirtle: I don't really care for slow Pokémon in general.
Johto starters: for some reason, I find all three of them boring. ._.
Treecko, Torchic: also find them boring. I only really like Mudkip from the Hoenn batch.
Chimchar: it's a monkey. I've hated monkeys for years and I have no idea why. (Turtwig from Sinnoh is my favorite starter.)
Tepig: atrocious defense (I want stuff with good defense, thank you).
Kalos: um... I think I like all of them so far? Especially Chespin. I originally found it funny, but then Chesnaught came along.

Posted by: Hushed Absol Jan 14 2015, 02:36 AM

Eh, I would have to say Chimchar is my least favorite overall. Never really liked the monkey Pokemon for some reason... I mean I know it's a good Pokemon, it just doesn't really appeal to me.

Posted by: Licia Feb 6 2015, 12:30 PM

Chimchar and Tepig lines for me.. sad.gif Their evolutions are just bleh, especially Pignite and Monferno. I've tried to like them but it's just way too difficult, though Tepig and Chimchar themselves are all right.

Posted by: Kahvinporo Mar 3 2015, 02:47 PM

Definitely mudkip : |

I can't stand that pokemon or its evolution line.

Posted by: A Little Skitty Mar 3 2015, 02:54 PM

Probably Tepig and Chimmychar. x_x.gif

Posted by: Tangerine Mar 7 2015, 04:23 PM

Least favorite? Well, I never liked Pignite and Emboar. I'm perfectly fine with Tepig (although it's not my favorite), but the evolutions are very ugly in my opinion. Pignite in particular looks like an egg with limbs. As for Emboar... It just looks way too bulky and strange.

I was also very disappointed with Quilladin, especially since I planned on choosing Chespin. I was mainly upset due to its similarity to Pignite in shape, which looked very awkward for this Pokemon. But I didn't absolutely hate it, and it did grow on me a little bit. Especially since Chesnaught is pretty cool. But I still never evolved my Chespin when I chose it in Y, ha ha...

Posted by: Sylvia Mar 29 2015, 04:43 PM

I personally never liked Tepig's line, though I love Tepig itself. I remember waiting for the game to come out so Tepig could be my starter and then I saw its evolutions and just...yeah, biggest letdown ever. xD

Posted by: Verrawyn Apr 1 2015, 08:00 AM

I agree. Tepig's line was probably my least favorite. Not really a fan of Chimchar's line either.

Posted by: barryhill Apr 4 2015, 12:39 PM

I sincerely dislike Samurott. To me, it looks like an ugly samurai. Literally Blaziken and Infernape would pull that look SO MUCH BETTER! Heck, even Emboar can pull off being a samurai, despite his fat ruining the outfit.

Posted by: TohoShinKi Apr 11 2015, 05:28 PM

-Chimchar- -oshawott- -mudkip-
no thanks

Posted by: Princess Jay Apr 12 2015, 03:50 AM

I mostly dislike the Turtwig line.

Posted by: Mikka Apr 28 2015, 04:46 PM

Totodile. I could forgive Croconaw (bloated alligator with spiked hair?!) and Feraligatr (the last evolution is always ugly) if only Totodile were cute. But it's not cute, it's a weird blue croc with chubby limbs.

Posted by: SteelSS May 5 2015, 05:05 PM

Fennekin line. Fennekin had potential, but Delphox just looks lazy and drab

Posted by: Viridi May 9 2015, 12:12 AM

Tepig's okay but he really should have been another type but my least favorite was always Turtwig and it's line. The line is extremely ugly to me.

Posted by: Birdinator May 10 2015, 08:29 PM

chimchar
i'm just not a fan of monkeys haha

Posted by: danijust May 12 2015, 12:19 AM

It's a tie between charmander and treecko for me. Treecko..annoys me. It's pretty irrational but..it ANNOYS me. Charmander is just sooo common. With me there's always a 50% chance that anything common will annoy me. Actually now that I think of it..I dislike chimchar, squirtle and bulbasaur as well. And most of the evolutions for all starters because they're hideous. Hmmm....

Posted by: Flumes May 12 2015, 10:49 PM

If Eevee doesn't count, Chimchar.

I hate monkeys.

Also, it evolves into Inferrape Infernape. That thing's annoying.

Posted by: Disgracik May 13 2015, 05:42 AM

I definitely dislike Mudkip. Mainly cause of it's evolutions, they just don't looking pretty and/or cool for me.

Posted by: Absolia Sep 9 2015, 08:08 PM

Tepig and Chimchar. I hate the monkeys and pigs. >w<

Posted by: Lavendella Sep 10 2015, 06:57 PM

I would say the Chimchar line is my least favourite. Nothing is particularly wrong with them in terms of design or stats - indeed, I remember using a rental Monferno quite a bit in Pokemon Battle Revolution - but they just don't stand out to me in any way.

Posted by: Quizzy Sep 11 2015, 11:23 AM

Seems as though lots of people share my dislike for the piggy. Even though I got a shiny one. RIP skins.

Posted by: Sandwhisper Sep 21 2015, 08:52 PM

I have distaste for ones heavily favored by others; I was a Grass-type Starter kinda chick
But I think the starters I actually don't like are probably the Tepig and Chespin lines. I dunno, they never did anything for me.

Posted by: shadowlarvitar Sep 25 2015, 12:10 PM

Chespin. I never liked it and Quilladin makes the line even worse.
Chesnaught is okay though

Posted by: Compton Nov 16 2015, 03:38 PM

chikorita is a sham in all respects

Chespin. Chespin looks okay so far, but as it evolves the entire line keeps getting worse.

Snivy or Piplup for me.
Just not a big fan of either.

I'm seeing a lot of Sinnoh starter haters (I actually like them, though I'll be the first to admit that Piplup's final evolution was rather disappointing).

My least favorite has to be Chespin. I mean, Chikorita was adorable and I had an awesome Meganium, I guess Tepig is alright, and I adore the Sinnoh starters. But Chespin, just, ugh. It didn't look too attractive, the second evolution made little sense to me, and it's useless against the first gym in X/Y unless you let it learn Rollout. I don't think it makes a good competitive Pokemon, as well. I mean, Chesnaught was probably meant as a tank, but it's weak point is it's Special Defense (and a lot of the Psychic attacks are Special moves), so it gets shut down rather quickly, and the only moves it can counter Psychic types with are Bite and Shadow Claw, which most people will probably not even think of using. It's hidden ability likely isn't too good, as a person is more likely to use Flamethrower and Psychic than, say, Shadow Ball or Egg Bomb. The only saving grace for me is that the Shiny forms look decent.

Tepig and Chimchar, then Torchic.

It's Rowlet now. I never understood why that bird is so popular. And people call Charizard/Lucario overrated.....
I despise it and Dartrix.

Chespin.

I dislike litten the most.

Posted by: johnnytrash Nov 18 2017, 08:17 PM

probably oshawott, because its final evo is so weird??

Posted by: Azuras Dec 14 2018, 06:33 PM

The stuff that look like muscly boys and in general the really weird objectmons.

Like wtf? I really dislike these humanised pokemons that we're supposed to treat as companions and who disintegrate into red lights and we keep in pokeballs, but have body-builder or very human-like bodies...

In this category: the 3rd stage evos of Tepig, Chespin, Fennekin, Litten. The 1st stages are ok, but the 3rd... eww. Maybe Emboar less so but still.

Machamp is ok. Lucario is ok. Gardevoir is ok. Magmar is ugly as hell, yet can work out. But Chesnaught or Incineroar... NOOOO, not again, the same recycled concept.

It's a tie between Chikorita and Litten but for different reasons. One is underwhelming and the other is disappointing as a promised Dark / Fire type.

For now, I don't have a least favorite. All starters, from Gen 1 to 7 are good in my opinion, some better than others but good in their own way. Now, that's maybe about to change if the supposed leaks of Gen 8 are true. If they are, Sobble, I'm sorry, I love you, but if your evolutions are *those* abominations, I'm picking you as my absolute hated pokemon. OMG.

Apart from the shiny, I'm not a big fan of the Tepig line for whatever reason. Never really been able to figure out why, I've just always felt resoundingly "meh" towards it. At least that HA is of some use. Also the Froakie line isn't great IMO [maybe I just got sick of seeing Protean Greninja being one of the only things used in online battles back in the X/Y days].


Unsurprisingly, the constant Charizard hyping by GameFreak has made me sick of poor Charmander as well.

Tepig, which is funny because my husband loves Tepig the most

Posted by: TohoShinKi Jan 27 2020, 08:30 PM

idk man im not really digging Oshwatt

Posted by: space monkey44 Feb 25 2020, 07:38 PM

Tepig. Meh.

Posted by: Natsume Reiko Feb 26 2020, 06:17 PM

Chimchar and Tepig are tied for least favorite starters. I never liked monkeys and Tepig's meh like everyone else said. Overall for some reason save for Gen 1 and 2 I detest the final evolutions of the fire starters as a general whole. Fuglier than sin imo.
