Vote for your favourite starter Pokémon!

[JohtoTimes]

Hello Poliwager community!

@Slix recommended that I share this poll here on the forum. Hopefully you'll check it out!

This poll is to discover the most loved starter Pokémon (also known as First Partner Pokémon) from the mainline Pokémon games! Please give each Pokémon a rating between 1 (dislike) and 5 (loved).

Please be aware, you may only submit your votes once, and you cannot change your votes after you have submitted your choice. Also, to ensure that votes are counted as fairly as possible, you must have a Google account in order to vote in our poll.

This poll will run from November 22nd, 2024 at 18:00 UTC until December 31st, 2024 at 18:00 UTC. The winner will be announced via the Johto Times newsletter, and our social media pages, on January 9th, 2025! I will also try to share the results in this thread when its over. Thank you!

Slix and I had a grand old time while I filled this out. Thanks!
Fake starters and cats are a no-go for me.

I'm surprised Chimchar is so low. It was hugely popular during the inital release of Gen 4.
