Ranking Every Starter Trio from Worst to Best 

Infernape, Sceptile and Greninja are my top fav of all time 😅

9:02 “Torch song lets you sweep opponents” continues to do barely any damags

Gen 3 is the only gen where i have legit trouble deciding on a starter

Sceptile is my favorite starter of all time and my second favorite ever in general

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.

SAMUROTT'S THE GOAT HOP OFF

Unova starters at last place? 💀💀💀

Unova under Paldea, Galar or Johto is a crime. I'll never understand the hate towards that trio.

I think you should've have included Hisuian starters, as a trio, how good they are? They're pretty good imo

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.

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! 🤗

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.

Dont let nostalgia blind you proceeds to say “im putting the kanto starters at three because of all the memories”

my fav trio was and always will be the unova trio

Man some of these takes are just objectively wrong

The random fart noise when ponyta came on scream made me bust out laughing with how it caught me off guard 😂

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.

Finally someone who respects sun and moon!

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

Gen 1 and Gen 3’s starters way iconic and amazing. That’s prolly why they got Mega evolutions

You focus on the design more than the power

Finally new long video ❤❤

I honestly think serperior is pretty underated, i used it with contrary and choice scarf and man it was so much fun

Hoenn is my favorite region!! Thank you for putting them at #1!! 😄

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*

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

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.

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

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

Unova cant be that low, especially when galerian and paldea starters exist!

Tyfoshions 3d modal turns from a fire starter to the first normal starter not counting eevee

Where was frogadier(evovles from froakie)?

I would flip kalos and sinnoh but I agree with everything else you said! Great vid

oh my god i just subbed because sceptile is my favorite pokemon too

unova doesn’t need all that hate

Bro just disrespected oshawott

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

Man it's like I'm telling my favourites and non-favourites...just so accurate

imo, kanto reagion should’ve been first

Which game is shown in this video?

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.

Finally some respect to my favourite pokemon blaziken and i also love skeledirge and hisuan samurott

Bro really said they dropped the ball when referring to the best water starter

Best starter trio in my opinion is Charizard, Sceptile and feraligatr

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

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

primarina and meowscarada are my favorite starters, i love when pokemon are cute/beautiful and good in battle

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

Serperior dont lose his arms.

What game is it

cyndaquil is underrated even if they are not even close from the strongest, they r just really cool.

Am I the only one who noticed chesnaughts model tweaking?

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.

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 😂

You dropped the ball on paldea

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 will always be piplup. i did a playthrough of one piplup and i never evolved it. w starter

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.)

“Thawakey is a Pokémon too” yeah we know it’s a Pokémon starter video

Lets be honest here,charlizard losing to blazekin was just for the promotion of gen 3 at the time

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 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?)

Nice, dude you gotta put Alola starters high, they are just too good yet underrated

If i see a snivy evolution line here am gonna cry you could pick pokemon like chespin but snivy nahhhhh that's crazy

Totodile & fuecoco are my favorite starters both I love their final form and hate the middle one

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.

10:50 why was typhosion doin the one thrust punch🧐🧐

Kanto, Charizard Jhoto, typhlonsion Hoenn, blazeken Shino, torteara Unvoa, surperior Kalos, graninja Ahloa, discigueye Galar, entaleon Violet, mewscarda

23:08 wailord is light work and my arms are sticks, this thing could probably lift *THE SUN*

I love Quaquaval it’s actually my favorite starter. It's animation, cry and design is very fun

Imo Unova Jhoto (never liked them) Alola (rowlet carry) Hoenn (i feel Like they r overused) Galar (too much cinderace and too less other eventho they r better) Paldea (i LOVE those guys i never liked this Duck) Kalos (chesnut and delfox ar underrated imo) Kanto (venusaur and overused charizard blastoise in my hearth) And my boy sinnoh (i dont Like only grotler here)

1 Charizard Sceptile Sammurott 2 Blazekin Blastoise Servine 3 Decidueye Inteleon Infernape

Fun Fact: Skeledirge is the new owner of the largest starter Pokémon.

My 3 favorites are charizard greninja sceptile ❤❤❤

My favourite fire/Fighting starter is Infernape

Yo, you should look for non copyright music to play in the background

For anyone wondering chesghnaught is based on a juggernaut

19:35 where are they?

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

My Ranking Gens: 1. Kanto (Nostalgia) 2. Hoenn (Peak Games) 3. Sinnoh (Best Anime Arc) 4. Johto (Nostalgia) 5. Paldea (Designs) 6. Unova (The Games) 7. Aloha (Designs) 8. Kalos (Only like Delphox/Greninja) 9. Galar (Game was mid/Cinderace is my fav) Fav Starter of all time is the Torchic Line 🔥

No one is talking about how powerful cinderace and rillaboom is, and you know, inteleon is there.....

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.

Inferape Is my top G with them punches were able to pull off anything

What’s wrong with Cinderace? I think he/she is still cute and awesome

My favorite starter trio is actually the unova trio my favorite of the trio is Oshuwatt

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

For me if i dont use infernape in sinnoh team then best option is garchomp who can use many firemoves

btw this is based off their first form and only their first form and dont forget, just like him, this is my opinion 1. piplup chimchar turtwig 2. bulbasaur charmander squirtle 3. quaxly fuecoco sprigatito 4. scorbunny grookey sobble 5. treecko mudkip torchic 6. cyndaquill totodile chikorita 7. popplio rowlett litten 8. fennekin froakie chespin 9. snivy tepig oshawott my opinion

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

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

To me Chesnaught is a bear with porcupine quills.

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.

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

My fav is litten THIS MY OPINION BUT LITTEN IS WAY BETTER THAN HIS OTHER 2 forms and greninja idk litten kinda reminded me of killing from hunter hunter do you agree

10:45 typhlosion is tweaking

Emboar is my favorite pokemon ever

Sinho: we used to have fire types.... *Hissui in ruins* 🍃

My favourite top 3 starter are: 1st Swampert.2nd Charizard.3rd Deciduye. Sorry for spelling mistake.

I loved gen 5 , but the starters were trash . I dumped mine for a shiny zoraru that I rng😊
