Ranking Every Starter Trio from Worst to Best
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 січ 2024
- From Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander all the way to Sprigatito, Quaxly, and Fuecoco every starer Pokemon is essential. But here in this video I went by and ranked every single starter Pokemon from the worst to the best.
My criteria for this ranking includes: design, stats, usage, nostalgia, competitive viability, and anime roles.
Make sure to drop your rankings below! - Ігри
Infernape, Sceptile and Greninja are my top fav of all time 😅
Bro same especially in the anime too.
Same especially Greninja
sameee
Infernape for sure I do like but Im not overly for the other 2. For me its Quaquaval & Decuieye.
Lol
Sceptile is my favorite starter of all time and my second favorite ever in general
Same
My favorite in general
Who’s your favourite of all time?
@@VFTAGamingMine is haxorus and salamence
Same fasho 💯💪🏿 my favorite of all time is Gyrados tho 🌊🐉 (and yes I kno it’s not a Dragon type 😂)
9:02 “Torch song lets you sweep opponents” continues to do barely any damags
Ah yes lemme use this move on a mon that quad resists it to show off its power
Man :(
Flower Trick is the best special from the starters. Never misses and always crits? It's basically 140 before adding in typing weaknesses
Gen 3 is the only gen where i have legit trouble deciding on a starter
Do you like mudkips
Exactly
and gen 1
It's gen 7 for me
U didn't answer the question
My top 3 favorites are Charmander, totodile, and treecko. I’ve always been a fan of reptiles in real life, and these three do a great job representing them.
Same Just switch totodile with oshawott
@@MeowthGames I do admit oshawott has much better attacks and evolutions, but I prefer to choose totodile as my water type starter. Not just because it’s a reptile, but I found its personality in the show hilarious. No matter the situation, it stays positive and joyful. Oshawott would be my 3rd option as a water type starter after totodile and froakie.
Treekco
Mines from the first three gen are Squirtle totodile and torchic
@@AHatFloatingInTime that’s cool, but what’s your favorite grass type starter? Also who would you choose between squirtle and totodile since they’re both water types?
SAMUROTT'S THE GOAT HOP OFF
agreed
Goat
He is my goat
My fav pokemon ever🗿
He defo made samurott look bad while it is just a solid w pokemon
I think you should've have included Hisuian starters, as a trio, how good they are? They're pretty good imo
Easily top 3
Yeah I love the Typhlosion and Samurott designs and typings
Glad to say I am A HOENN-BABY! 😁 Emerald is still one of the best game despite not having Physical-Special Split!
And Ruby has a special place on my heart coz it is where I started my Pokemon-Journey! 🤗
My dude, we share the same sentiment lol I started w Ruby and glad I did! Gen 3 is one of the greatest, if not the greatest generation in Pokemon thus far!
Hoenn is my favorite region sure there are some bad Pokémon but it is the first show I watched so it means a lot to me
@@zeetmeist9380Not quite the greatest. Too much water. The remakes are better in every single way; even with the Battle Frontier omission (which is overrated anyway).
@@princesspikachu3915I can respect that, the water doesn’t really bother me tbh. I find that there’s an equal amount of land and water to correlate w the rivalry between Team Magma & Aqua and how their ideologies pit against each other…
Me too! my first time playing sapphire was really fun and I wish i visited my original save file!
Unova under Paldea, Galar or Johto is a crime.
I'll never understand the hate towards that trio.
Tbh the issue is every trio is so good I personally love them all
@shinken6636 this. unovaborts became the very thing they swore to destroy. they are worse than genwunners.
also, everybody agrees that the unova starter trio is the worst.
@@shinken6636wow it’s like you’re offended that the commenter has an opinion that you don’t agree with
@@lmaolol7702you both sound so intolerant. If some people don’t like the newer starters it’s just their opinion. You sound too defensive about the new games. There’s a lot that can be criticized about the new games and it’s kinda delusional not to realize it
@@Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried incredible. unovaborts actually think people who hate them are nugenners and not oldgenners. unovaborts have literally become the new genwunners.
Man some of these takes are just objectively wrong
FR but he did say it was his opinion
I hate blazeakin
Opinion exists
I believe that Chespin line is based on a hedgehog, not a chipmunk. I personally think that Greninja is overrated. I don't really care for its base forms and the boils on its body gross me out a little. As for my favorite, I have to say it's Meowscarada. I love cats and I think it's concept of a stage magician is really cool. All in all, I think my favorite trio is probably Blaziken, Sceptile, and Swampert, since they are all really solid in all stages design wise and still are great in battle.
Unova starters at last place? 💀💀💀
johto is way worse
@@tomfooIeryzyeah
Because they suck
Accept the fact bro
@@tomfooIeryz only chikorita is bad
Cyndaquil and totodile and great
@@so_calledgamer3678 9th gen sucks tho
Oof. Putting the unova starters dead last hurts but I understand your point. I never liked emboar and samurott until I used emboar in a playthrough because I heard it was good and it was. Design-wise I wished they made it look like more of a warrior and less like a pig. Kind of similar to what they did with greninja because greninja’s appearance diverges from it’s previous two forms, looking less frog and more ninja. Snivy on the other hand, was the first unova starter I used and I love snivy’s whole evolution line so much. The snide attitude that snivy has is so adorable. I disagree with the video about servine because it’s one of my favorite middle stage starters. I like it just about as much as I like serperior. Speaking of which, I have always loved dragons and despite being a snake and not a dragon, it kinda reminded me of the dragons from spirited away or dragon ball. I loved having a green serpentine dragon as a starter. Samurott I just thought didn’t look that good, partly because I didn’t really like the idea of it being a samurai because it felt gimmicky. I think Dewott was by far the best in that whole line. It’s the perfect mixture of cute and awesome, especially the unique shade of blue that it has.
my fav trio was and always will be the unova trio
Same
Omg, same
Same
@@MoonlarkSpiritsstop using God's name in vain
@@gregkareem9824 sorry, when I use "omg" I think of "oh my gosh" due to my religion
The random fart noise when ponyta came on scream made me bust out laughing with how it caught me off guard 😂
My opinions:
9: Johto
Chikorita is actually terrible and Totodile is alright. However, I love Cyndaquil.
8: Paldea
Quaxly has terrible later evolutions, Fuecoco is alright and Sprigatito is amazing.
7. Unova
Snivy line is one of my favourites and Oshawott is great (besides Samurott) but Tepig is hot garbage.
6. Sinnoh
No complaints with Piplup and Turtwig, but not the biggest Chimchar fan.
5. Kanto
They all have good designs but none of them stand out.
4. Galar
Sobble and Scorbunny line are pretty good, Grookey line is alright.
3. Kalos
Froakie is one of the most iconic designs and Fennekin is great. Chespin had potential but was ruined by the later two evolutions.
2. Alola
Every evolution looks great, the middle evolutions aren't awkward at all and have a lot of personality. They have unique types and I love all 3.
1. Hoenn
This slightly edges out Alola because Swampert, Blaziken, and Sceptile are all iconic and the only "bad" design here is Marshtomp
NOT JOHTO!
Totodile is alright?? ALRIGHT?!?! That's it, I challenge you to a duel
Cyndaquil Best
But.sinnoh.in.first.and.chimchar.is.goated
@@zuhayn43 Chimchar is my favorite fire starter behind Hisui Typhlosion
Finally new long video ❤❤
I like using Serperior for its hidden ability. Contrary with Leaf Storm is OP. I got over 2000 winning streak in USUM Battle Tree using that thing and counting.
Dont let nostalgia blind you proceeds to say “im putting the kanto starters at three because of all the memories”
It’s different.
@@thatboyminus that’s really cool but did i ask
Yes, I agree! Primarina is so underrated! Imo Primarina deserved more interest in the anime. It got decent attention but it deserves more! And Ngl Primarina's design is EPIC! Before you say, *Primarina is too feminine* yes i know, but its design is way too good... I believe its the only mermaid pokemon there is... (Walrein is a seal 🦭) And in battle... Its just Amazing!!! In the Anime, Lana's Primarina won against Melow's Tsareena... Grass is super effective against water but Primarina still managed to win.... I like the signature move sparkling aria and i LOVE that primarina sings when it uses the OP z-move ocianic operetta
And sparking aria... primarina is my fav starter 100% i know a lot of people like Greninja more but ye! Last thing, primarina's type combo is amazing..! Thats all!❤ Thx for reading! ❤ #supportprimarina*
Primarina gets plenty of love from Pokémon Go Battle League players. I don’t personally run it but I’ve had to counter that thing so many times.
It’s probably one of the most common water types used along with Swampert and Kyogre in Pokémon Go Battle League.
Didn't watch the anime since season 1 and 2. Primarina is one of my favorite water starters. The 1st two evos are meh, but that final form and typing combo are too good to pass up. Now, for me it's Mudkip and Totodile at the top, but Primarina is alongside Greninja, Hisui Samurott and Empolion as my other favs. I made sure to grab Poplio in the Violet dlc just to play around with her typing. Without a doubt one of the best water starters
Unova cant be that low, especially when galerian and paldea starters exist!
Why?
Galar is far and away the worst. It's the only gen where I dump the starter. Only Hisui gave me as much trouble when picking a starter, but because they were all 3 too good. Went with that epic fire/ghost typing. Hisui I couldn't pick because they were too good, Galar I couldn't pick because they were so bad. Still don't like them. Still don't use them. If they had secondary typings, it could have saved them, but the mono typing ultimately sealed their fates as the worst starter trio
Gen 1 and Gen 3’s starters way iconic and amazing. That’s prolly why they got Mega evolutions
I honestly think serperior is pretty underated, i used it with contrary and choice scarf and man it was so much fun
hi there !! my name is fritz and my favorite starter, and favorite pokemon ever, is emboar! i dunno why, i just think he's very cuddly and gives the best hugs. i love big pokemon like that and emboar just so happens to have became my favorite! :D
Hoenn is my favorite region!! Thank you for putting them at #1!! 😄
Finally someone who respects sun and moon!
Fr.
Kanto is easily number 1 for me, it doesn't get any more iconic than the original 3. Charmander is my personal favorite of the Kanto starters, but I genuinely feel like you can't go wrong with any of them. Even my least favorite, Bulbasaur, is really cool, and would probably be my favorite if he were the grass starter in other gens. And I agree with putting Unova last and Galar next to last. Those starter trios just didn't really do it for me.
when the alolan starters were revealed i got some unova vibes from them(mainly the design)but further they grew really op
we all have favorite regions but we cant argue that hoenn and sinnoh have the best trio of starters right? Pokemon was in its peak in design back then
my personal ranking.
9th place: JOHTO starters. (the middle stages look better than the final forms, excluding the alligator)
8th place. kanto starters: (nostalgia the only thing saving these mons and charizard ig)
7th place: KALOS starters( greninja carrying this trio on its back , lets be for real)
6th place GALAR starters ( i hated cinderaces arms, its lost its coolness from its middle stage, rilaboom is fine, the drum is kinda distracting tho. intelleon is fine as well, it proportions seem kinda odd tho)
5th place UNOVA starters( honestly the most overhated starters).
4th place PALDEA starters. ( i wish they crocodiles fire look different, the ducks feet looks, like sausage, meowscarada is cool , wish the mask was smaller tho).
3rd place ALOLA
2nd SINNOH
1st HOENN
I would flip kalos and sinnoh but I agree with everything else you said! Great vid
Finally some respect to my favourite pokemon blaziken and i also love skeledirge and hisuan samurott
You focus on the design more than the power
Man it's like I'm telling my favourites and non-favourites...just so accurate
Paldean starters are my favorite, i actually like their design and that they're on latin america (and i'm brazillian). They're very fun in battle too
oh my god i just subbed because sceptile is my favorite pokemon too
cyndaquil is underrated even if they are not even close from the strongest, they r just really cool.
As someone who’s first game was Pokemon White, tepig/Emboar is my favorite starter, but I also feel like as a set the gen 3 starters are the best set of starters.
Bro just disrespected oshawott
Meganium, dewott and chespin are my favourites, no idea why but i just love them all 😅
I know meganium isnt great battle wise but i just adore its design, dewott is just great and chespins so goofy i adore it 😂
Serperior dont lose his arms.
I really wanna see Death Battle do a 3 starter battle royale death battle with the other three starters
The Hoenn starters battle royale will definitely be very fun
I've seen many people blame gen 6 typhlosion model but Pokémon colosseum is the model and effects they used in X and Y, so if you wanna blame his 3d model blame Pokémon colosseum
primarina and meowscarada are my favorite starters, i love when pokemon are cute/beautiful and good in battle
Lets be honest here,charlizard losing to blazekin was just for the promotion of gen 3 at the time
Too bad Blaziken still better
@@WallOfGamingnah Charizard >>>> he’s gonna keep getting more forms and love, and I’ll keep loving all of them and encouraging it.
@@AnonDudeBro I don't think Charizard is getting any new forms now, since it was confirmed that pokemon takes ideas from the community and no one wants more Charizard forms
@@WallOfGaming we will see, Charizard is still coming up absurdly high in popularity polls.
@@WallOfGaming there are op charizard out there ash charizard since jotho became more op, there is leon charizard, there is alain charizard
Bro really said they dropped the ball when referring to the best water starter
I honestly think the Sinnoh starters are the best. In terms of theming they are what every starter pair after them were trying to achieve and in terms of animals, penguins and monkeys are animals that are exotic and can easily be portrayed as either cute or cool and they nailed both, and I’m just biased towards turtles in general and I’m not the only one. When I first saw these guys it was the hardest choice of any of the starters I had ever made and that still holds true to this day because they’re all just so wonderful and perfect, and that’s not nostalgia talking from me as my favorite (and first ever) Pokémon is Squirtle and I’m a loser who owns Platinum but still hasn’t beat it. You pointed out Prinplup as the weak link among them and while I can agree I don’t think it drags them down as muchas you seem to. An overall amazing trio. I can’t wait for a starter trio who can rival them in the future! (A king can dream, can’t he?)
unova doesn’t need all that hate
My point exactly
Nice, dude you gotta put Alola starters high, they are just too good yet underrated
“Thawakey is a Pokémon too” yeah we know it’s a Pokémon starter video
As someone who's favourite pokemon of all time is Emboar, I do find it funny how people are so confused why. While I like Primeape and Blazekin just fine, Emboar to me blends the concept of fighting (with his inspiration from Zhang Fei from Romance of Three Kingdoms, Zhu Bajie from Journey to the West and armoured Han dynasty warriors) and fire with the whole joke that Chinese cuisine especially is known for prizing pig and such, to its best.
Not to mention, he is shaped like friend.
I really love Skeledirge's design and that it's a step in a different direction from anthropomorphic final forms and the fire/fighting dual type (Also I'm low-key biased with Ghost pokemon)
I love the typing, but his design is too bland. The face is amazing and the songbird on his nose is cute, but the rest is really bland. They needed something else to cut through all that red and white and I believe they should have continued the mosaic design from his face. (That's me with dragon lmao. I favor that type over all others.)
Totodile & fuecoco are my favorite starters both I love their final form and hate the middle one
Fun Fact: Skeledirge is the new owner of the largest starter Pokémon.
The largest is Serperior but Skelidirge is the heaviest
Kanto, Charizard
Jhoto, typhlonsion
Hoenn, blazeken
Shino, torteara
Unvoa, surperior
Kalos, graninja
Ahloa, discigueye
Galar, entaleon
Violet, mewscarda
Where was frogadier(evovles from froakie)?
No one is talking about how powerful cinderace and rillaboom is, and you know, inteleon is there.....
And also powerful.
why does everyone have beef with inteleon
@@tomfooIeryz most people decide whether they like a Pokémon or not solely based off of appearance unfortunately.
That's because it's the worst gen. I dump the starter and it's the only gen I have ever done that on. Terrible designs and the mono typing kills it for me
@@tomfooIeryzBecause they have no friends and are desperate to be a part of something
Best starter trio in my opinion is Charizard, Sceptile and feraligatr
my favorite will always be piplup. i did a playthrough of one piplup and i never evolved it. w starter
My favourite fire/Fighting starter is Infernape
Why?
@@thatboyminus it was the first pokémon I got to level 100 also I don't know why so many people like Blaziken because to me it looks like a man with a chicken head, a terrible haircut and chicken feet for hands also WHAT THE F*CK IS UP WITH IT'S ROUND FEET
@@TheMonkieKing4 Infernape is just blaziken but wayy worse .Ape has worse stats worse ability and now it's in UU and due to January tier shifts Greninja is also in UU and not only is faster it can change type with protean and i think infernape will fall in RU i think but blaziken is Banned in UU and it outclasses infernape in every way except movepool but blaziken just need 1 swords dance and sweep
@@vivaanchowdhry9718 I don't play VGC so I didn't understand any of that but what I understood is that Blaziken is better than Infernape but Infernape is still my favourite Pokemon
@@TheMonkieKing4 see i didn't said that infernape sucks infact i like infernape too it's my third favourite fire stater and it's still decent it's just not good as blaziken and people have opinions
Tyfoshions 3d modal turns from a fire starter to the first normal starter not counting eevee
Me personally Blaziken is a cause in a phone it almost helped me beta the elite and solo with it but it bc of the ghost type elite four because I used flamethrower one of the strongest of the fire type moves
23:08 wailord is light work and my arms are sticks, this thing could probably lift *THE SUN*
You dropped the ball on paldea
Am I the only one who noticed chesnaughts model tweaking?
My 3 favorites are charizard greninja sceptile ❤❤❤
I think for me the starter trios started to struggle at Gen 5. Gen 1-4 really felt like it didn’t matter which you chose design wise and they all felt solid (yes stat wise they can be out classed by other things but none of them are outright bad). But I remember when I first started gen 5 and just couldn’t decide on which started because I didn’t like any of them, and from then on it always felt like there was only really one good Pokémon design wise, maybe 2 in some gens.
My favorite starters are mudkip, tepig, and turtwig, I love every form they have,(yes, even pignite), and swampert has a mega, what more could you ask for
Swampert best boi for life
Ooo if I have to narrow it to one each? That's tough. Mudkip (Totodile is tied with Mudkip as favorite overall) for water. If we're not counting Hisui, then Chimchar is my favorite fire (Litten very close behind), otherwise Hisui Typhlosion is my favorite fire. And grass is easy, it's Sprigatito. The only grass type I have ever started with. Usually my 1st choice is fire or water, but when I saw Sprigatito's design I knew it was gonna be my starter. No regrets, love that whole line
For me
Gen 7 this is a amazing trip I love incinroar he’s so cool the dark type is amazing and his z move I love him in the anime he’s just so Primarina is cool to just gotttw make sure if I use her it’s female decicyude is amazing to same with his z move
Gen 1 there og Charizard is my favorite fire type starter I loved using him in sword and I love mega Charizard y good in games and gmax I like blastoise to and his mega venasaur is pretty cool to
Gen 8 rillaboom is my favorite starter and Pokémon I love him so much I will always use him cinderace is cool to I like the libaro ability inteleon is fine it’s just hate how slender he is still like his gmax
Gen 6 greninja is a amazing starter even though the fans ruined it for me I can’t lie it’s a great starter to bad that got rid of ash greninja chesnaught is cool to but it suck’s we didn’t get a good spotlight for him and delphox is kinda controversial but I like her a lot the fire psychic is cool type and arias was pretty cool
Gen 4 infernape is my favorite in the anime I love the blaze it has a Great inspiration I think empoleon is cool to I like how it’s like a emperor and torterrra is good just the anime ruined him
Gen 3i like these starters a lot sceptile is cool but should be dragon type Blazakin is amazing to swampert is good to just stay away from those grass types
Gen 5 i think there ok i don’t really like serpior I like snivy better service is ok but serpior is I don’t really like maybe if it’s arms were more noticeable and if it was a dragon I would probably like it better but samorott is my favorite I love the blades emboar is ok but it’s kinda ugly
Gen 9 not a fan of these either Skeledirge is my favorite but meowscrada is so overdesigned and humanoid and kinda of a downgrade fork floragato it’s fine but I’ll probably never use it and the mask is dumb and quaq is the worse starter ever I hate it the duck is overdeisgn and it’s so humanoid and I hate how it moves and that giant butt I get its a peacock and a dancer but I hate it so much
Gen 2
I hate these starters aside from nostalgia there so undersigned and plane and boring and megauium is one the worst starters it’s plane maybe if it had a fairy type
10:50 why was typhosion doin the one thrust punch🧐🧐
My personal opinion:
9. Johto (I’m sorry but the generic “get bigger” design philosophy does not appeal to me for a starter line. Thankfully Typhlosion got fixed for me in PLA.)
8. Kanto (They are iconic and I respect that but none of them are top favorite tier for me)
7. Kalos (The Fennekin line is the only one I really love these days. Froakie is cool, although overrated and I hate Ash Greninja, and Chespin just kind of… exists)
6. Sinnoh (Really solid trio all around, what can I say?)
5. Unova (I really love the Snivy and Oshawott lines, Tepig line is okay)
4. Galar (Kinda similar to the Unova starters, I love the Scorbunny and Sobble lines, not too huge on the Grookey line personally, but it is good in battle so…)
3. Hoenn starters (Just a really great trio all around from beginning to end)
2. Paldea (One of the two goated starter trios, all three starters start off adorable, have cool themes to their lines and are utilized really well in their final stages. Though both the Fuecoco and Quaxly lines are great, the Sprigatito line is the shining star here. Also Sprigatito had far more potential with a cool biped evo than the bland ass quadruped evos people kept on asking for, just sayin’.)
1. Alola (This starter trio is the shining star of perfectly designed starters for me. Three great first stages, middle stages that are either cool or tolerable, and awesome final stages with cool themes. Though the Popplio line is easily my favorite out of the three, I think both Rowlet and Litten are top tier as well. Also same thing I said about Sprigatito being biped applies to Litten too.)
I love Quaquaval it’s actually my favorite starter. It's animation, cry and design is very fun
To me Chesnaught is a bear with porcupine quills.
I like that
If i see a snivy evolution line here am gonna cry you could pick pokemon like chespin but snivy nahhhhh that's crazy
Inferape Is my top G with them punches were able to pull off anything
Which game is shown in this video?
I remember during the GBA era u could only get 1 of the gen 2 starters u couldn't transfer from any previous gb games that wasn't fair
3:52
Actually Serperior didnt loose its arms. The leaves on its back (in the gif shown) is actually its arms its just behind its back to be more regal since Serperior is trying to be more royal like.
Emboar is not my favorite but it helo me alot in my playthorugh of BW & BW2. And the design of his is that of something from dynasty warriors like a Chinese warlord. And sure fire/fighting has been drawn out after 3 regions but is still effective even as to now in Scarlet & Violet where it is much better in later games. I still like it but overly thrill as it is my favorite fire starter, that goes to Infernape.
19:35 where are they?
Yo, you should look for non copyright music to play in the background
Bro actually cooked 🔥🔥🔥
What’s wrong with Cinderace? I think he/she is still cute and awesome
Yes facts
Gen 8 is so awful. The only gen I dump the starter. Cinderace is without a doubt the worst fire type design. It's just a soccer player. Soccer is lame. Rabbits are lame. Combined they are super lame lol
For anyone wondering chesghnaught is based on a juggernaut
What game is it
1 Charizard Sceptile Sammurott
2 Blazekin Blastoise Servine
3 Decidueye Inteleon Infernape
Sinho: we used to have fire types....
*Hissui in ruins* 🍃
My favorite starter trio is actually the unova trio my favorite of the trio is
Oshuwatt
I love all of the starters. I hate it when people stay mean things about them. I mean some are stranger than others, and you can have a favorite, but that doesn’t mean the others are weak or ugly.
10:45 typhlosion is tweaking
Honeslty only Unova and Kalos starters fall short to me. Rest gens starters are pretty good. Swanpert is my all time favourite with Decidueye as close second.
I loved gen 5 , but the starters were trash . I dumped mine for a shiny zoraru that I rng😊
Unova being lower than johto is a crime
My point exactly
That top 4 is probably the least controversial thing ever lmao honestly I could see all four being at no.1 and make it make perfect sense
Everyone struggling to choose a starter
Me who picks fire every time
I'd personally swap Kanto with Alola. You have to give Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle props for being Kings of Merch alongside their buddy Pikachu. Also no trio as a whole had the same impact the Kanto boys did on the anime. From the brave but sometimes stubborn Bulbasaur, to the craven turned moody and aloof (upon evolution) Charmander to (my all-time favorite) the adorable and irresistibly lovable (despite being a huge a--hole) Squirtle
Emboar is my favourite fire starter for sure
Quaquavel looks like a pirate+duck+pecok 😂😂😂😂
My tops favorites fuecoco quaxly and spriggito
imo, kanto reagion should’ve been first
