* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.

* Two of the three Johto fully evolved starter Pokémon, {{p|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Feraligatr}}, share the position of the fully evolved starter Pokémon to have the longest name. However, they tie with the not fully evolved starter Pokémon {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}. Also, two of the three Unova starter Pokémon, {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, share the position of the starter Pokémon or its evolutions with the shortest name.

* All of the known fire starters (from Generations I-VI) have been based on the different animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Charmander is based on the Dragon, Cyndaquil is based on the Rat, Torchic is based on the Rooster, Chimchar is based on the Monkey, Tepig is based on the Pig, and Fennekin is based on the Dog. This could suggest that future Generations will feature fire starters based on the remaining six animals of the Chinese Zodiac: the Ox, the Tiger, the Snake, the Horse, the Rabbit, and the Sheep. This pattern could also mean that there will be a total of 12 Generations of Pokémon before the end of the franchise.
