    I've traditionally been a fire starter fan, since they were often both fast and hard-hitting compared to the other starters, which made breezing through trainer battles all the less stressful, and they could often continue to pull their weight later in the game, either because their fire-type moves were effective against rarer types like steel and ice, or because they had some viable secondary types like fighting or psychic type. That, and I could often find some viable water and grass type Pokémon in the early game, such as Gyarados for Pokémon Red/Blue.

    I once tried to use bulbasaur because everybody says is the best starter. worst choice ever, bulbasaur is weak/resisted against almost everything in the early game, every bug catcher, lass or whatever are full of pidgeys, bug-poison, plant-poison, poison-flying or psichic pokemon. in top of that rocket grunts alway have zubats, drowsies, grimers or koffings. first offesive stab attack bulbasaur is vine whip which only has 10 PP so every 2 or 3 battles bulbasaur has to relay again on tackle, and if yo try to make a balanced team poison typing of bulbasaur always mess up that balance. having adventage on the first two gyms does not make up for all the cons of bubasaur

    Fire tends to be great for a starter too because Water and Grass types tend to be more readily available early. It usually takes 2-3 badges before you can catch any Fire types, much less a useful one

    While it’s true that fire is rarer, the main issue with Fire in Gen 1 is that you really don’t benefit much from the Fire type at all. Teams usually have to have a flying type anyway (for Fly), which are really common, and Flying covers bug and grass types already. Ice types in this game are almost all water types, so Fire doesn’t help against them, and Steel didn’t exist then. The type unfortunately got obsoleted almost instantly in Gen 1.

    I think you underestimated Rowlet utility. You have to remember that untill he evolves in Decidueye he is also a Flying type and even after keeps the Flying coverage. So going he is neutral in the first trial, strong against the first Kahuna, then strong against Water, weak against Fire, strong against Grass with Flying moves, strong against Olivia, resist the eletric one, strong against Ghost with his stab (also weak but still), weak against Nanu and resisted by Dragon, although he can use the Flying coverage against Kommo-o(and also neutral against Fairy if you play USUM, the Ghost type meaning he doesn't have to much problems agIainst Ribombee ) and then strong against Hapi. Incineroar meanwhile has no advantages in the Mele Mele trials, is weak against the Water trial that is the earliest of the Akala trials, neautral against the Fire one, strong against the Grass one, weak against Olivia, mostly neutral against the Electric one although i will admit is strong against both of the totems, strong against Ghost, neutral against Nanu, resisted by dragon, weak against fairy and Hapi. I can still see you giving the edge to Popplio since being strong against all the Kahunas is a big deal, although i will still argue Rowlet being better in the early game due to him getting stab from the Flying coverage while Popplio doesn't with the Fairy coverage untill he evolve, and being strong against two of the Akala trials while Popplio is only strong against one. Popplio is slightly better against the Normal trial but only if you face Raticate so half of the games. However i strongly diasagree with Rowlet being the worst as you implied, i think is at the very least the second best.

    While I do agreee that Rowlet is a bit underrated in Gen 7, its still the worse starter. Some of the advantages it has are iffy like the water one. In the ultra games, the totem pokemon has aurora beam which basically destroys any grass type. And while evolving into ghost can be helpful. It usually isnt too useful. Especially since ghosts types just arent great in Alola since so many important ( and non inportant ) trainer's have dark type moves ( seriously try playing Gen 7 with only ghost types and you will realize how many pokemon have dark coverage ). Overall while i will say that all three alolan starters are decent. Incineroar just has a more consistent typing ( and plus fire types are a bit scarce in alola ) and Primarina basically decimates the game.

It doesn't help that the animal group she was in didn't allow her to learn the elemental punches from golden rod, then her not having poison as a secondary meant you couldn't even free farm team rocket without care.

    iirc, the gen 1 starters were essentially pseudo-difficulty settings. Charizard had a harder beginning, but got higher stats and could evade the extremely prevalent ground type. Blastoise could crush the first gym, and didn't suck against the second. Venusaur gets to just steamroll, but they're weak to psychic and flying, meaning they're screwed when up against Blue at the end (Blue has 3 counters to Venusaur, and only 1 counter to Charizard/Blastoise) Ultimately, the best option is still Bulbasaur. Since water types are just so common (you even have Mt.Moon Magikarp immediately after Brock) Blastoise is kind of pointless. Charizard is especially worthless since its endgame "finally he's good" is offset by Moltres existing.

    Meanwhile, the best starter for a Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl playthrough is still Chimchar. The best starter for a Legends: Arceus playthrough is Oshawott because it's strong against early-game Noble Pokémon and frequent Rock type Pokémon, and gets better as time goes on. It has good attack and high special attack, which is good for its water moves. Hisuian Samurott, its fine form, is a Dark/Water type that is going to be useful across the board.

    For the Galar starters, I actually think that either Grookey is the best pick. It hangs on against the first two gyms while your team is still in development, and Corvisquire, a Pokemon that almost everyone uses, is enough to solo the grass gym by itself. Also, Marnie’s Morpeko which you have to battle before the fire gym takes quite some preparation to defeat, since you have little to no super effective coverage on it, so your starter (most likely your strongest Pokémon at that time) would be your best option, and Thwakey resists electric. As for the fire gym, you can catch a wild Drednaw in the mine after the water gym which crushes the fire gym. It’s already evolved, so you can use it temporarily for the gym and then box it without having to raise a Chewtle if you don’t plan on using it. Then from that point on, you’ll have a way stronger team and more options for team members.

    Watching this years later, but I think Grookey is the best Gen 8 starter because it is good for the reasons you mentioned, but also forces your final rival to take the fire-type option giving his final team 2 fire types meaning that battle is a lot easier when you get there.

    It's worth noting that Fire type starters are also preferred because it's usually difficult to get more fire types, especially on early routes. It's often trivial to get alternate Water or Grass pokemon if you didn't pick them: they also have a lot of overlap against ground & rock cave pokemon so you can often use either equally. Fire types are also super effective against early bugs (where grass are weak against early bugs & flying).

    Minor correction: In the first two games of Generation 1, you cannot catch a Mankey before you fight Brock. he earliest you can find a Mankey in Red (where he's a version exclusive) is Route 5, south of Cerulean City, and an NPC won't let you go past Pewter until you have beaten Brock. In Yellow, Mankey can be found on Route 22 just west of Viridian City, but only in that game and likely because the developers knew you would need SOMETHING that was relatively powerful against Rock-types.

    I'd rather just talk about which Kalos starter to pick only. Because quite a few players would just not use a Kanto starter in their team. But I would still say that Fennekin alone is the best choice since it's good against Viola (her Vivion, not Surskit), Korrina (if you can get Delphox beforehand), Ramos and Wulfric. And then it's strong against Wikstrom of the Elite Four.

    A big balancing issue, is that fire types are rare compared to grass and water. And there are as good water types. And grass strengths are covered by electric, fighting and again water. And you can find good electric and fighting types easily. They should add more stronger fire types earlier in the game to balance thus out.
