Team Mudkip by far. Neater design, nicer movepool, etc. It's one of the best starters in the franchise given its solid mix between special and physical attacks.

I'm kinda surprised Bulbasaur is in the finale and Squirtle isn't. Hell, I'm surprised Squirtle isn't in the top 4 and even more surprised that the top 4 isn't just gen 1 Pokemon. --- "You rat!

How is Yellow not a gen one game? I think we're splitting hairs here.. yellow is a gen one game.. at least it only has first gen pokemon. No other gen has four starters, and yellow is clearly the most different of the third game in each gen. When people talk about the gen one starters, they're usually referring to Bulby CharChar and Squirty. However, it is the game that set the precedent for each gen to have a third game after the first two that is a more complete game, and it is considered a main game in the series. It's not Pokemon stadium or mystery dungeon, it is a main colored game. If you want to say Pikachu is a gen one starter you can, but I have never considered him to be one. He is a special case, which makes sense because he is pikachu. He is different than all other Pokémon. He is the face of the franchise. ... Copied to Clipboard!

>Is a gen one game.
>Is a starter. >Is not a gen one starter. "Splitting hairs" you call it, lol. I'll respect your viewpoint to the ability I can but you have to concede that's an asterisk.

I don't really have to concede anything. Pikachu is different because he's Pikachu. He's the only one with a main game specifically dedicated to him. Yellow, special Pikachu edition.

It's special because it has a Pikachu that says it's name instead of the normal cry, not because the game is some special version of the first gen.

Emerald has more differences than Yellow.
EDIT: Crystal, Emerald, and Platinum all have actual substantial story changes actually, and I'm confident Emerald and Platinum have more changes and content in general.

How is Yellow not a gen one game? Because Yellow is a spinoff, you don't get to choose your starter, etc. Frankly, it'd be like calling Bulbasaur a Gen 3 starter because LG is a Gen 3 game.

Bulbasaur is still a gen one pokemon, remakes or inclusion in later games don't change that. If you want to muddy things up with remakes and stuff, instead of quoting generations we could instead call them regional starters. In any event Pikachu still fits with Bulbasaur Charmander and Squirtle. MICHALECOLE posted... What other starter can you get in crystal emerald and platinum? Zeus posted... All of them use the same starters as the basic version of that generation. The conversation moved to what makes Yellow special. Besides Pikachu, the criteria presented applies to those later third games I listed, or in other words they don't make Yellow special. All it has to stand on is Pikachu, which isn't enough of a separation from Red and Blue to make it it's own generation or category. EDIT: I asked my brother what he thinks and he said Yellow is generation 1.5. Lord help that child. --- My friends call me Vee. I'm not your friend, buddy. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Zeus posted...Because Yellow is a spinoff, you don't get to choose your starter, etc. Frankly, it'd be like calling Bulbasaur a Gen 3 starter because LG is a Gen 3 game. But the same logic applies: They're starters in games from that generation. If you're acknowledging that they had a previous affiliation, the same is literally true of Pikachu because he wasn't a starter in the original games. Veedrock- posted... MICHALECOLE posted...What other starter can you get in crystal emerald and platinum? He's not entirely wrong since Yellow had some backend mechanical fixes and sprite changes.
