Hey guys, HDvee here. Now as we all know,
choosing your starter Pokemon in each region
is one of the most difficult tasks you’re
going to have to accomplish when starting
your brand new journey. All three of the little
critters are adorable, so picking one to take
with you is always difficult. However, some
starter Pokemon do outshine their peers, but
which ones are they exactly? With that being
said, today’s video tries answering the
question of Who Is The Best Starter Pokemon
In Each Region? Of course this is all my own
opinion, and it’s completely cool if you
disagree with what I say in the video. Don’t
hesitate to drop a comment down below about
the video and if you found it interesting
or not! Don’t forget to leave a like on
this video too to show your support and I’ll
be sure to bring out a new video very shortly.

further ado, let’s get into the video and
I really hope that you enjoy!
So starting things off, we of course have
Kanto from generation 1. The best starter
Pokemon of the three in my opinion is, Charmander.
Granted, I do feel a kind of nostalgic attachment
to Charmander. The teeny fiery lizard was
the starter I chose during my very first ever
Pokémon adventure, and that sort of bond
is for life. I’m welling up, Mr. Flamey,
I really am. We’ve been through so much
together. I love you, man! That aside, Charmander’s
evolution line has had a pretty chequered
history. It didn’t see much use in a long
time, thanks to Stealth Rock instantly squishing
it every time it entered the battlefield.
Not to mention its lack of a particularly
standout attack stat. With X and Y, however,
Charizard became one of the most popular Pokémon
in the format, what with its dual mega formes.
Charizard Y is a fearsome sun attacker, while
Charizard X is a potent physical Fire and
Dragon type. Pick your poison; they’re both
amazing. Of course, the other two starter
Pokemon, Bulbasaur and Squirtle, are incredible
too, Charmander’s two mega evolutions just
places it first to the finish line for me.
Therefore, I believe Charmander to be the
best starter Pokemon from the Kanto region.
Coming up next is of course generation 2,
and the home of the Johto region. The best
starter Pokemon of the three starters in my
opinion is, Totodile. Some of us crave attention.
They thrive on it, breathe it like the rest
of us breathe air. They are the Kardashians
of the world. Others don’t go for that sort
of thing at all. They don’t need or want
the limelight. They know they’re freaking
awesome. The quiet and unassuming Totodile
line, for instance. With its spangly new Sheer
Force ability in hand, Feraligatr is a great-if-not-top-tier
sweeper that is often underestimated. Let
this bad boy get a couple of Dragon Dances
going, then tell me it’s not pretty damn
good. The brand new ability of Shear force
for this Pokemon really allowed it to step
it’s game up and so in my opinion, is the
best starter Pokemon from generation 2. Therefore,
I believe Totodile to be the best starter
Pokemon from the Johto region.
Coming up next is of course generation 3,
and the home of the Hoenn region. The best
starter Pokemon of the three starters for
this region in my opinion is Torchic. The
competitive community Smogon tends to unofficially
call the shots when it comes to the meta.
Players serious about Pokémon battling tend
to play by their rules and tiers, just so
that everyone understands each other and we’re
all on an even playing field. Down Smogon
way, very few starter Pokémon have ever been
declared ‘Uber’ and banished from OU,
that is to say, standard play. Do you know
which was? Blaziken, that’s which. From
its unassuming and adorable beginnings as
Torchic, this thing evolves into a horrifying
flaming chicken-monster from the depths of
Hades. Its hidden ability, Speed Boost, allows
Blaziken to easily spiral out of control,
and it packs more than enough power, and ways
to boost it, to start a deadly sweep at a
moment’s notice. There have been more than
enough Fire and Fighting starters through
the years, but this is definitely the most
potent of them. Therefore, I believe Torchic
to be the best starter Pokemon from the Hoenn
region.
Coming up next is of course generation 4,
and the home of the Sinnoh region. The best
starter Pokemon of the three starters for
this region in my opinion is, Chimchar. Yes,
I know that we have another dual typing of
fire and fighting for this starter Pokemon,
but Infernape is really good at what it does.
It may not possess an amazing ability in speed
boost like mega Blaziken does, but getting
access to strong stab moves such as flare
blitz and close combat really help it out.
This Pokemon can also be run as a mixed attacker,
meaning you never know what you’re going
up against when you see one of these in battle.
Infernape also gets access to U-turn, and
so if used correctly, can give you some pretty
good switch initiative. Throw a choice band
on this Pokemon and Infernape is really going
to do some solid damage. Therefore, I believe
Chimchar to be the best starter Pokemon from
the Sinnoh region.
Coming up next is of course generation 5,
and the home of the Unova region. The best
starter Pokemon of the three starters for
this region in my opinion is, Snivy. This
majestic snake evolution line didn’t have
all that much to offer originally. It was
happy enough in the lower tiers, busting out
Reflect and Light Screen, and it made for
a nice husband for Milotic, but that was about
the extent of its usefulness. A few generations
later, Snivy’s line was given its hidden
ability, and it had a quick slice of the limelight
for itself at last. Contrary means that stat
reductions and buffs will have the opposite
effect, and is generally quite the niche ability
to have. In this case, however, it was a huge
boon, making Serperior truly relevant for
one reason: Contrary Leaf Storm. Who wouldn’t
want to be able to fire off a hugely powerful
attack and boost the user’s special attack
two stages in the process? Serperior isn’t
the greatest sweeper, but it can really crush
some souls. Therefore, I believe Snivy to
be the best starter Pokemon from the Unova
region.
Coming up next is of course generation 6,
and the home of the Kalos region. The best
starter Pokemon of the three starters for
this region in my opinion is, Froakie. I know.
Prior to the release of Pokémon X and Y,
this little thing was a bit of a joke. We
saw the designs of the starters, and we mocked.
We mocked Froakie like the mocking mocksters
of mock that we are. Often, among the trio,
there’s a runt of the litter, a Pokémon
that just doesn’t quite garner the same
instant-support that its fellows do. Froakie
was that guy. Still, we’ve got to eat ourselves
some sweet, sweet humble pie. Many of us changed
our tune when Froakie’s final evolution,
Greninja, was unleashed. It’s quite the
badass-looking ‘mon, and one of the most
beloved shinies ever. It’s also a huge powerhouse
thanks to its ability, Protean, which changes
Greninja’s typing to that of the move it’s
using. STAB on everything? Don’t mind if
I darn well do. Therefore, I believe Froakie
to be the best starter Pokemon from the Kalos
region.
Last but not least, coming up next is of course
generation 7, and the home of the Alola region.
The best starter Pokemon of the three starters
for this region in my opinion is, Litten.
Now, we all like cats. Of course we do. They’re
haughty little buggers who answer to nobody;
renegade rebels who cannot be tamed and play
by their own rules. They have no curfew, and
they only call their mamas seven times a day.
They’re like the main guy in a Clint Eastwood
western, only furrier. When Pokémon Sun and
Moon’s starter squads were unveiled, something
caused many of us to flock to the Litten camp
in droves. Perhaps we’ve been brainwashed
by all the viral videos of cats playing pianos
that we’re bombarded with today. Whatever
it was, I think it’s safe to say that Litten
was the winner as far as popularity was concerned.
A Fire and Dark starter in Incineroar is a
neat little novelty too. Therefore, I believe
Litten to be the best starter Pokemon from
the Alola region.
