Pidgey? Rattata? Caterpie? Really?

I know what you mean, but a few months ago when I started playing Pokemon Yellow I defeated Brock incredibly easy, I just used a Butterfree and boom in a few moves it was over. Though, yeah without Butterfree and just a Pikachu, it'd suck.

My least liked starter is Tepig. I don't like it's style.

Everyone loves it, but my least favorire is Torchic. Its final evolution is just ridiculous aesthetically. A lanky fighting chicken with MMA-wrapped fists? So silly looking. I know it's good competitively, but I can't take it seriously.

I like pretty much every starter except Pikachu, then the Johto starters they seem ok but they're not my favorites. I love all the fire starters though except Cyndoquil even though I don't like him much either. I'm so excited for Fennekin too! She looks amazing!

Totodile. I could never see me using it or it's evolutions, they're all...fugly.

I love Totodile haha, but I do agree with you about the evolutions. I used to keep my Totodile in it's first evolution as long as possible.

I freaking hated Chimchar. Monkeys disturb me. O_O

For me, it's a three way tie between Charmander, Totodile, and Tepig.

I feel that Charmander and its evolutions are overrated compared to the other Kanto starters. When a lot of people talk about how amazing it is, it gets old fast.

Ever since I was little, I've felt that Totodile and its evolutions are bland compared to the other water starters. It's been years, and I still feel this way about it.

I have no problems with Tepig as a standalone Pokémon, but when its evolutions are brought into the mix, I can't help but despise it due to the fact that they're Fire/Fighting. 3 Fire starters in a row gets really old.

I would include Pikachu in this, but I personally don't consider it a starter, so I'm not counting it. I do consider it extremely overrated though.

I like all of the starters and their evolutions. :3 But if I were to sort them from those I like the most to those I like the least, Chikorita would be at the front of the latter category. Until a few years ago I was indifferent to it and only tried to use it once on one of my many restarts of my Gen 2 games. It's design is the least appealing out of the lot in my eyes. Still cute, but I prefer the others.

Tepig for me, for reasons stated by others. I don't care for it's evolved forms, and it's another Fire/Fighting type in a row.

Chikorita, it's just so... bland.

I hate Fennekin and Chimchar. Other than that, I love every starter c:

There's no starter I flat out dislike. Chimchar would probably be my least favorite design-wise, but I think its evolutions' designs are much better.

Snivy and Mudkip. I really, really, really don't like Snivy or its evolutions in the slightest, and Mudkip... well, Marshtomp looks like derp, and Swampert looks awesome. Mudkip is cute, but there's something about it I just don't like.

I love everyone else, though. Including Chikorita. :D

I never liked totidile or its evolutions at all.

I don't like chimchar simply because EVERYONE used one in diamond and pearl. Meet my earthquake torterra.
