→‎In the games: Sorry about that; didn't see that it was already on the page. The bloat here needs to go; I trimmed over-obvious and non-unique trivia as well the ones equating ColoXD with the main series, since their placement is being reconsidered.

* All starter Pokémon in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.
* All starter Pokémon in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and Shininess were determined, it was impossible to have a {{Shiny}} female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack {{IV}} a [[Shiny Pokémon]] could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.

* The Hoenn starter Pokémon all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. The Unova starter Pokémon all evolve for the first time at level 17, and then again at level 36. Other trios have differences among the three in either one or both evolutionary levels.
* The starter Pokémon from [[Generation I]] are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]. They appear in both [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto's]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto's]].
* The starter Pokémon from [[Generation I]] are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]].
* In the main series, when a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|ThunderShock}} instead of a Normal-type move.

* Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the player starts out with more than one starter Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled. Other games such as the {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} series and [[Pokédex 3D]] have the player start with multiple Pokémon, but these are not true starter Pokémon.
* All Grass-type starter Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. Starter Pokémon may have differing Hidden Abilities.
* In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|Black|White}}, all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.
* All of the Grass-type starter Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. The exceptions to this are the evolutions of the {{p|Eevee}} obtained in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
** However, through the {{pkmn|Dream World}}, it is possible to find starter Pokémon with other Abilities.
* In the [[National Pokédex]] and the regional Pokédexes, the Grass-type starter Pokémon comes numerically before the others. The Water-type ones always come last numerically.
* Neither of the main series starter Pokémon that are based on birds ({{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}}) are {{type|Flying}} nor are able to {{m|fly}}.
