- Bulbasaur (but it is so close because all three are good choices)
- Totodile (but IMO Chikorita gets too much hate)
- Torchic
- Fart monkey (Turtwig is nice too. Piplup is cute but turns into a monarchist)
- The hog, although Emboar should have been fire/dark.
- Chespin because I like pangolins but all the starters are kind of meh here.
- All three of these are perfect babies but I had to pick Rowlet because birb. Gen 7 is perfect, fuck you. Gamefreak make Decidueye competitive you cowards.
- All three are meh, Sword and Shield is blah.
- The zombie crocodile because he comes with a free bird in his final evo. All three are perfect babies though.
Yes I am a giant adult baby please roast me.
Charmander - I would like a Flying Type eventually, though I think Charmander is really cute. Squirtle otherwise and is almost always my first pick.
Chikorita - would not evolve. I like the little thing.
Mudkip - Swampert seems like the most dependable water type final evolution.
Turtwig - Torterra is just cool.
Snivy - though I feel bad he loses arms upon evolution.
Chespin - though the humanoid final forms start to bother me here
Rowlet - A ghost type evolution is cool and I mean look at Rowlet.
No pick - the final forms have long since stopped being animals in an ecosystem and more humanoid references, but this was too far.
Fuecoco because his final form actually resembles an animal.
