Starter trio you have the hardest time picking between?

For me it's Gen 1... mostly because of indifference. I like all of them, I have nostalgia with all of them, but I don't really love any of them in particular.

For me it's gen 2, I really like all of the designs and there's a nice dynamic of
special attack -> Physical attack -> Bulk,
which one could argue all generations have this issue but I love the gen 2 starters the most.

Gen 5 because they're all fucking garbage. Shame because most of the gen's designs are great, too.

I have a clear favorite in all of the other gens, except maybe 1 where I love all of them.

Gen 5, because I dislike them all. My first runthrough I was happy to pick Wotter, but after using it and its crap stats, I ended up disappointed and the other two have never interested me. So generally I just don't play gen 5.

I've never had a hard time choosing.

Basically, you pick the fire starter or you don't see another strong fire type until you get legendaries, and their learnsets are always garbage.

Gen 4 because I love Torterra and Empoleon but both suck ass and get outclassed by Infernape.

Gen 5 because the designs are mediocre and all starters are horrible garbagemons both in playthrough and competitive.

And Gen 7 because I like all designs but i'm 99% shure that they all will be horrible stat and movepool wise, Rowlet and it's leaked evolution already suck type wise so yeah.

While generally true on limited fire choices, why do you feel the need to always have a fire type on your team?

All types offensively and defensively can be covered in other ways if you want and its not required for exploration like water types with whirlfall surf and dive.

gen 2 is all about Typhlosion. best starter and steamroller.

gen 3 is terrible if you don't pick Torchic because Fire Path takes a long time to reach.

haven't played the rest yet.

Gen 1 you steamroll the game with Venusaur.
Gen 2 you steamroll it with Typhlosion.
Gen 3 you fucking demolish the game with Swampert since it's strong agaist most gyms and the champion
Gen 4 you steamroll with Infernape
Gen 5 they're all shit
Gen 6 you steamroll with Greninja

You'd figure I'd remember Johto better than I do seeing as Silver version was the first one I played and between G/S/C I probably played through those games around 6 times total... but I don't.

Then again I chose Typhlosion, so I had no reason to catch a Fire type.

You're kind of right, but I almost never use a fire type besides starters. And I only choose fire starters when I like them more than the rest or when I want to try something different.
Last time I caught a fire pokemon for the team was in gen 4, and that was (obviously) Ponyta.
I think Fire is one of my least favorite types, alongside Fairy and Rock.

Gen 4: First playthrough with Infernape, same as Gen 3. Played Platinum with Torterra and got Infernape in a trade
Gen 5: Samurott in White and White 2. Not that good but it was the only water type in gen 5 worth a damn.
Gen 6: Greninja. Only because I wanted to try Megazard Y

I'll never understand people complaining about certain Pokémon being"bad". You can use anything in-game and get away with it. What's the fucking point of picking the "optimal" starter? Dont you people always complaing about the games being too easy? Then use the one you like the most even if it sucks. Or don't even use a starter at all. Wurmple is my starter in every Hoenn playthrough.

Wartortle has been my favorite pretty much since day 1 so Gen 1 has always been an easy pick for me, even though Bulbasaur and Charmander are both solid.

As a kid I had so much trouble picking Gen 3 starters I would restart my game over and over and over just to play with different starters (all my friends stopped playing Pokemon at the time), but these days I'm pretty firmly in the Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert camp.

I'd say the only trio where I like them all equally is Gen V. They're all really good. Even Samurott has grown on me.

Gen 4 because they all turn out awesome in the end even though their middle stages are pretty ugly (especially Prinplup). Gen 1 is hard too since i don't really have a definite favorite among them, though I have been appreciating Venusaur a lot lately.

It's always a hard time picking between the Gen 4 or Gen 6 starters because they're all so good. I got to use all 3 Gen 4 ones because of Platinum but... With no Z version to use it on, Fennekin got the axe because I could get an event Torchic at the time.

I'm still debating whether I want Popplio or Litten for my secondary game this gen. Rowlet was my immediate choice though.

It,s right after the 3rd gym, and until then the hardest fights you've had don't require Fire at all.
