      Which Original Starter Pokémon Are You?
      Start Quiz!
      Anime · Retro & Nostalgia

      By BrainFall Staff - Updated: June 25, 2024

      Choosing your starter Pokémon is one of the most exciting moments in any Pokémon journey. But have you ever wondered which of the original starters—Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, or Bulbasaur—matches your personality the best? Each of these Pokémon has its unique traits and charms. Answer these questions to discover which original starter Pokémon you are!

      Original Starter Pokémon

      The original starter Pokémon—Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur—are iconic Pokémon from the first generation of the Pokémon games. Each starter Pokémon has its distinct characteristics and evolves into powerful forms. This quiz helps you discover which starter Pokémon aligns with your personality.

      Which Original Starter Pokémon Are You?

      Embarking on a Pokémon journey is a pivotal moment for any aspiring trainer. Remember the first time you booted up your game console, the excitement bubbling as you met the Professor and gazed upon that fateful trio of Poké Balls? Ah, the nostalgia of choosing between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle hits us right in the feels. We all have our tales of adventure and gym battles, but the question begs to be asked: which original starter Pokémon reflects your very essence?

      Three Pokémon, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, stand in a grassy field. Bulbasaur looks confident, Charmander is ready to battle, and Squirtle appears calm

      Now, before we ruffle any Jigglypuff fur here, we know that binding your soul to a digital creature over a simple quiz might sound like a Psyduck's headache to the uninitiated. But bear with us; it's an absolute blast! Each starter Pokémon carries characteristics that mirror our own—whether it's the fiery spirit of Charmander, the cool composure of Squirtle, or Bulbasaur's grounded vibe. And let's face it, deep down, every one of us fancies understanding which Poké-pal mirrors our intrepid spirit.

      So grab your Pokédex and your sense of humor, because we're not just gonna tell you—we're inviting you to find out with us! Brace yourselves for a lighthearted quiz to determine which of the Kanto region companions you'd be. Whether you're a veteran trainer or a casual fan of the franchise, there's a bit of Pokémon magic in discovering your starter counterpart. Ready to take a walk on the whimsical side of the gaming world? Let's find out which original starter Pokémon is your kindred spirit, shall we?

      Choosing Your Fiery, Splashy or Leafy Companion

      Before we take a stroll down memory lane to the days of picking our very first partner-in-crime, let's remember the fiery debates, the splashy conversations, and the rooted discussions that made choosing our first Pokémon a rite of passage!

      Burning Passion or Cool as a Squirtle?

      The choice of a Fire-type starter is not for the faint of heart. We're talking about the iconic Charmander, of course! With a flame proudly flickering at its tail, this lizard Pokémon lights a fire of excitement in the hearts of those who favor offense over defense. As it evolves into the mighty Charizard, its Special Attack soars and lo and behold – it can even turn into a dragon-like flying powerhouse. But keep in mind, while its HP and Defense might not be top of the charts, Charizard's fiery gusto isn't one to underestimate, especially when you're aiming to blaze through the competition!

      Leaf It to Bulbasaur: The Grass-Roots Choice

      Is there anything more reliable than the classic, the one, the only... Bulbasaur? Embracing this grass-type Seed Pokémon is for those of us who thrive on balance and a strategic blend of offense and defense. Bulbasaur sprouts into the formidable Venusaur, boasting a harmonious distribution of HP, Defense, Special Attack, and Special Defense. And trust us, when it comes to taking root in the tough terrain of battle, this buddy’s got your back!

      The Evolutionary Tale of Tiny Turtles and Dragon Wannabes

      Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokémon, makes waves for those who prefer the cool, calm, and collected. Choosing a Water-type companion often reflects a strategic mindset focusing on defense. Squirtle embodies this philosophy, eventually evolving into Blastoise, a tank-like Pokémon both literally and figuratively. With its cannon-powered shell and heightened Defense stats, Blastoise stands sturdy as a rock – well, as sturdy as a giant turtle with water cannons can be! And although it won’t transform into a majestic dragon, there's no denying the unwavering spirit of this water warrior.

      Your Adventure Awaits: Gearing Up for Battle

      Before you take our BrainFall quiz to determine which original starter Pokémon mirrors your soul, let’s chat about the trials you’ll face. We've got you covered on the essentials, from your first nerve-racking gym encounters to those wild Pokémon brawls that test the strength of your friendship (and your Pokémon's HP).

      Gym Rat or Couch Potato? Preparing for Early Gym Leaders

      Embarking on a Pokémon adventure isn't all about loading up on potions and Poké Balls—oh no! Your starter, whether it's that fiery Charmander, sprightly Bulbasaur, or cool Squirtle, needs to have its stats pumped up. Let's look at some tips:

      • Attack & Defense: As we know, offense wins battles, defense wins championships. Amp up your starter’s Attack for that knock-out power and bolster their Defense so they can take a punch or two.
      • HP (Hit Points): More HP means more stamina to endure those gym battles. Don’t let us catch you snoozing on HP EV training!

      Now, are we going to be the MVPs at the gym or are we just going to be admiring Pokémon butts from the bleachers? Our choice, pals.

      The Real Test: Wild Pokémon and Friendship Trials

      When Professor Oak said, "In the wild, Pokémon are often found during times of heightened emotions," he wasn't just pulling our leg! Here's what we need to know about training in the wild:

      • Wild Pokémon Battles: These random encounters are fabulous for leveling up and putting those abilities to work. Remember, Pikachu uses Thunder Shock, it's super effective!
      • Friendship Factor: Turns out, friendship isn’t just for after-school specials. It boosts your Pokémon’s performance! So share those Oran Berries and earn your pal's trust.

      Whichever path we choose, it's all part of the magic at the heart of Pokémon. Are we the ones who will form an unbreakable bond with Eevee, or will Pikachu be our partner in crime? Let's find out together!
