10 Coolest Starter Pokémon

Over the years I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve found myself in a lab with a professor who for some reason has a tree-related name, stood in front of three Pokéballs. The choice was always a difficult one: Grass? Fire? Water? We know that this choice can take a long time, as it’s something that will mould the future. At the time, nothing is more important.

So in honour of the brand new Pokémon: Sun and Pokémon - Moon releasing all over the world this week - I’m going to count down the ten coolest starter Pokémon that we all spent hours and hours training and levelling up!

This list isn’t the best of the pocket monsters at all: it’s the coolest. It's the ones that made us smirk at their awesomeness and had our opponents worrying what devastating moves we’d throw their way.

Let’s get to it then. Time to find out which starter really is the coolest of them all…

To start this list is a cute little crocodile that you get to choose at the start of one of your adventures in Johto.

Sure, he isn’t one of the most popular of the starter Pokémon, but when it comes to training this little fella and growing with him as a trainer it definitely does feel awesome, especially when he grows into the intimidating Feraligatr.

When you choose Totodile, you know that those water/fighting type moves are going to get you all the way to the Elite Four and beyond… just don’t underestimate those darn grass types!
