>>44406791There are a lot of good ones, it was a toss up between Petilil, Cutiefly, Meditite, or Ralts. Petilil would be my choice for a video game starter, Lilligant is my favorite pokemon, even though it would probably be a worse starter than an actual grass starter. I just like it.
If this was like a real life scenario where I get to pick my own starter, it would be one of the telepathic ones or a Pokemon that can use telepathy in some manner: Ralts, Meditite, or Cutiefly (Using Aura) would fit that bill. I think Ralts would be the best one for a guy who cares about people's emotional and mental well being.
