=====[[Pokémon GO]]=====

===Starting Pokémon===

* {{Gary}} started with a {{p|Squirtle}} whom he received from Professor Oak and who later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.

* [[James]] started with his pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]]; however, he left it at home when he ran away.

* [[Sakura]] started with an {{p|Eevee}} who later evolved into an {{TP|Sakura|Espeon}}.

* {{an|Casey}} started with a {{p|Chikorita}} whom she received from [[Professor Elm]] and who later evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.

* [[Zackie]] (''[[EP130|A Bout With Sprout]]'') started with a {{p|Bellsprout}} whom he accidentally caught in [[Violet City]] when trying to catch [[Ash's Pikachu]] whom he thought was a [[wild Pokémon]].

* [[Vincent]] started with a {{p|Chikorita}} whom he received from Professor Elm and who later evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.

* {{Jo|Harrison}} started with a {{p|Torchic}} whom he received from [[Professor Birch]] and who later evolved into a {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}.

* {{OBP|Stephanie|AG034}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') started with a {{p|Mudkip}} whom she received from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]].

** [[Stephanie's father]] started with a {{p|Treecko}} whom he received at the same time.

* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'') {{p|Caterpie}} was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".

* {{OBP|Gilbert|SS014}} (''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'') started with a {{p|Bulbasaur}} whom he received from Professor Oak.

* {{an|Iris}} started with a {{p|Drilbur}} whom she saved from falling off a cliff when she was a little girl, who later evolved into an {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}.

* {{an|Cilan}} started with a {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} whom he has had since childhood.

* [[Emmy]] started with her {{p|Druddigon}} whom she received from her father when she started her journey.

* [[Nanette]] started with a {{p|Tepig}} whom she received from Professor Juniper.

* {{an|Serena}} started with a {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} whom she received from [[Professor Sycamore]], which has since evolved into {{p|Braixen}}.

* {{an|Shauna}} started with a {{p|Bulbasaur}} whom she received from Professor Sycamore, which evolved into {{TP|Shauna|Ivysaur}}.

Several characters have also caught Pokémon in the {{pkmn2|wild}} that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.

* {{adv|Black}} started with a [[Brav|Rufflet]] that he captured with the help of a wild [[Musha|Munna]] he had befriended, and later acquired his "starter Pokémon", a [[Bo|Tepig]] from [[Professor Juniper]] which later evolved into an '''{{p|Emboar}}'''. Initially it was nicknamed "Tep", but the nickname was changed to "Nite" and eventually "Bo", making Black the only main character so far to change his Pokémon's nickname.

* {{adv|White}}'s "starter Pokémon" was a {{adv|Amanda|Servine}}, which later evolved into a '''{{p|Serperior}}'''. This Servine, which White nicknamed "Amanda", was with [[N]] until [[Gigi]], the {{p|Tepig}} that White employed, went to his side. It was later revealed that Amanda was a Snivy that was going to be given out to new Trainers by Professor Cedric Juniper, but was liberated by N.

* [[Whi-Two]]'s first known Pokémon is a {{p|Foongus}}.

* {{adv|X}}'s first known Pokémon is a [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kangaskhan]]. He later got a [[Marisso|Chespin]] as his "starter Pokémon" after he accepted it as a member of his team. It has since become a '''{{p|Chesnaught}}''' under his care.

===In the games===

* All starter Pokémon in the [[core series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.

* The starter Pokémon from [[Generation I]] are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]. They appear in [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto's]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto's]], and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos's]].

* In the core series, when a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] (either {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Scratch}} or {{m|Pound}}) and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|Thunder Shock}} instead of a Normal-type move. This pattern is broken in {{pkmn|X and Y}} when the starter at level 5 have both of these moves and one of their type.

* {{p|Charmander}} is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.

* {{p|Oshawott}} is the only Water-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Water 1}}.

** Both the primary and secondary types, however, fit a more generally defined triangle that only requires one type to be offensively and defensively advantaged against another. For example, just as Water has the offensive and defensive advantage against Fire, so does Dark against Psychic.

* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first. These starter Pokémon are both from two generations prior to their owner's introduction, and featured in the anime likely due to the same-generation [[remake]]s.

* In the Diamond and Pearl series, there have been two major appearances of each fully evolved starter introduced in [[Generation IV]]: Ash and Paul's Torterra, Ash and Flint's Infernape, and Barry and Kenny's Empoleon.
