Water starter fight finale (vote to eliminate one)

Hello guys and OHHH MYYY GOOODDD what did i witness yesterday. It’s like 3 equal parties fought for their existence. The result kept on drifting. I missed lots of comments fun as it’s night in our country at that time but now I see what a thriller. What an epic matchup ABSOLUTE CINEMA. Some went for squirtle where as the turtle fans didn’t expect that high. Few others went for totdile but surprise it’s the one to get least votes. So who got eliminated. I am shocked with the eliminated pokemon. At beginning of water base matchups we all thought this would win but now with the tight matchup ever mudkip settled for position 3. Guys until today I thought chimchar vs litten competition is the insane voting competition ever which i saw before but this damn competition is more than it. Anyway adios mudkip, I personally forever love you more than squirtle and totodile but the community decision changed. Now it’s time for the finale and we are left with the gen 1 representator squirtle who is the second one from gen 1 after bulbasaur the best grass base form and gen 2 representator totodile who is also second one from gen 2 after cyndaquil the best fire base form. So someone will add win count more to their region. Who is it ?

  1. ???
  2. ???
  3. Mudkip
  4. Piplup
  5. Froakie
  6. Oshawott
  7. Sobble
  8. Popplio
  9. Quaxly

I am saying it again i love mudkip than the above two finalists. It’s unfortunate i didn’t see both mudkip and piplup who i thought would be in finale. For me fire base forms went as my list, grass also went close to my list but water base forms positions completely changed :slight_smile:

For my personal positions in three base forms is below (not the actual results but my postions)

Grass : Bulbasaur > Rowlet > Treecko > Turtwig > Chespin > Snivy > Grookey > Sprigatito > Chikorita
Fire : Cyndaquil > Torchic > Litten > Feucoco > Charmander > Chimchar > Tepig > Fennekin > Scorbunny
Water : Oshawott > Mudkip > Piplup > Totodile > Squirtle > Sobble > Froakie > Popplio > Quaxly

These are just my rankings :slight_smile:

The ending for previous poll was probably more exciting than whole 2025 Abu Dhabi GP.

I’m already happy Totodile made it this far, first starter back in the day after picking up Pokemon Crystal. :slight_smile:

one of the most intense polls till date in my posts. I don’t know whether in future we could get such competitive polls. This is what happens when all of them are S tiers and picking one is so difficult :slight_smile:

I actually thought Piplup would make it further than it did, but now I am glad everyone will recognize the true best water starter, Squirtle :wink:

Totodile, you must avenge Mudkip and kick Squirtle to the curb.
Do not let me down.

I voted for totodile to make squirtle my default winner but it shouldn’t be this way. The absolute injustice in yesterday’s poll will not be forgotten.

The two best card for each. Because Squirtle has the better one, i would have to go with him for best water starter, his design has been more conducive overall to great card artwork, although in game totodile was the superior starter and evoline.

I still can’t stomach that mudkip has been eliminated in the previous round, surely this must be a manipulation !

Squirtle was my first ever starter in Blue so I feel quite ashamed be to voting to eliminate it but Totodile is just on another level.

This made me realize how much I like stage 1 starter designs and it’s stage 3 starters that get progressively worse over the years. Like, I love quaxly’s design but despise Inteleon.
