I have to admit I was surprised in some places and disappointed in others. The lack of love for Chespin (my personal favourite) and some other starters were especially rough.
Whatever the case, without further ado, here are the most popular starter Pokemon from each generation, as voted by you.
GEN 1 – Red, Green & Blue
GEN 2 – Gold, Silver & Crystal
GEN 3 – Ruby, Sapphire & Emerald
GEN 4 – Diamond, Pearl & Platinum
GEN 5 – Black & White, Black & White 2
GEN 6 – X & Y
GEN 7 – Sun & Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
GEN 8 – Sword & Shield

Pokémon Sword & Shield comes out on November 15, 2019 for Nintendo Switch. With a map and region inspired by the United Kingdom and all the different cultures that have come to life there, it is by far one of the most ambitious games developer GameFreak has worked on. With a heavier focus on more conventional 3D open-world design, with a variation of the Sun & Moon camera “placement”, Sword & Shield look very promising for the direction Pokemon will take in the future. The release date can’t come soon enough.
