The Starters
Starters are the first Pokémon given to every trainer at the beginning of their adventure. The choice is almost always between a Grass, a Fire and a Water type: Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle in Kanto, up to Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup in Sinnoh.
Pikachu is the exception: it is the sole starter of Pokémon Yellow, as a nod to the animated series.
