Did You Use Your Starter?

[WaterTypesFTW]

I usually do keep my starter in every Pokemon game... except Pokemon White. I started with Snivy and evolved it into Servine but I could never really get into using it so I caught a bunch of Pokemon for my team and I put Servine right into my PC. It's still a Servine too, I kind of feel bad. But I honestly can't get into using any of the 5th Gen starters...

I don't think mine's ever left my team. My Samurott is a beast. Last night on random matchup, it survived a dragon gem Outrage from a Garchomp, and took it down with ice beam. Then the person I beat ragequitted -.-

[Shockking]

I used it in my playthrough but now it just stays in my box as it isn't EV trained and I have lots of better Pokemon. I have been thinking about making a Trick Room team though and if I did that I could retrain the Pokemon I chose (Emboar) and nickname it the same thing, and then use it on that team

[Klinklang_1024]

I start off keeping my starter, but then I get bored of it and don't use it after that. Then I get bored of my team and start again, it's ridiculous.......

[Meowth City]

Typically throughout the game, I have my starter in my team at all times. However, there are times where I have decided to replace it with another Pokemon.

[Ignika]

I used it, and I use it. It's my strongest Pokemon.

[JustifiedTerrakion]

I love my starter Pokemon!I always use it when facing the Elite Four and it was the third Pokemon I got to Level 100.I chose Snivy over the others because I had reset the game twice and played with Tepig and Oshawott and I thought,''Why not try Snivy,doofus?'',and I chose it and I love it for it's mad speed.And because it's a snake.I didn't choose Turtwig in D/P though;I chose Chimchar because I liked the Fire/Fighting type it would become when it evolved into Monferno.I then transferred it to White at Lv89

[Ciccone]

I only use my Starter Pokemon in my main Black version. In my other Black version and White version, I use Pokemon that I've caught and raised. The reason being that I dislike the Starters in this generation, except Oshawott, but I've already used the Oshawott evolutionary line many times.

[SuperEpicRock]

I used two, actually. My starter was Tepig, but I transferred an Oshawott to my game, too. I really liked the look of both of them.

[Zenfen]

Nope i dont use my starters each game ussually has a nice psychic in the begging or if i can i transfer/trade and never touch them unless i use them for the hm.

[Midnight_Warrior]

I used to, but I don't anymore. I chose Snivy as my starter. I loved my Serperior, but as I caught more pokemon, I began to use it less.

[thatjeremykid]

i don't use any of mine competitively. in-game, yea i use them all the way through, but once the E4 is done, they're boxed forever.

[Sceptile Master]

I always use my starters in my [final] team. This case being I picked Snivy.

[Serebii!]

Started with Oshawott, now got a Samurott level 64 that I always have in my party

[Katherine1973]

I started White with Tepig, and kept him through his evolutions, but after I beat the Elite 4, N, and whats-his-name(N's dad or whatever, I can't remember his name), I caught Volcaroa and boxed Emboar up.

[jstinftw!]

Yup! Emboar's one of my favorite Pokemon, so I stuck to him. I want to use him competitively, but Scrafty's a better fit for my team, so for now, he's just an in-game Pokemon for me. :/

[Eranu™]

The first run i did. After that i dropped them in the box.

[James the Gambler]

I chose Tepig because I've always started with the fire type, but I kinda felt like they got bored with the set up introduced with Blaziken in 3rd gen. Fire/fight felt like great offensive typing to me, so I wasn't surprised to see that Infernape got OU last gen and Blaziken was FINALLY put where he should have been in the first place: Uber. I remember having Ninjask on my team for the sole purpose of speed boost Baton Passing into Blaziken and destroying teams super fast :3 Emboar though....... I dunno. The change from fast sweeper to trick room sweeper was a tad odd, but E4 crumbles under BulldozeBoar and Ghettis has a hard time dealing with a Reniculous-Emboar trick room tag team blowing through his team >:3

[Pika ruler]

yes, Starter pokemon are always with me. My Samurott is at Lv. 72 and I'm still charging.

[Smithson]

I picked Oshawott and now have a level 67 Samurott
