It may surprise you to learn that in the Pokémon anime, Ash Ketchum had to battle Misty to keep Totodile.
While Ash, Misty, and Brock traveled to many regions, including the Indigo Islands and the Orange Archipelago, they first encountered the three new starter Pokémon in Johto.
Now it’s your turn to choose your starter in the Johto region.
Chikorita
Chikorita is the first grass starter in Johto and is known as the “little flowering plant” Pokémon.
Its leafy head can create vines and leaves, release healing scents, and monitor the temperature and humidity of its surroundings.
Chikorita was one of the first Pokémon caught by Ash and became very attached to him, refusing to battle Pikachu.
Cyndaquill
Cyndaquill is the first fire starter in Johto and is classified as a “fire-mouse” Pokémon.
When defending itself, flames erupt from its back, and it can also use smoke to conceal itself.
Ash’s Cyndaquill was initially lazy and weak, but after evolving into Quilava, it became more serious and focused.
Totodile
Totodile is the first water starter in Johto and is known as the “big-jaw” Pokémon.
It has sharp teeth and can even bite with icy force, yet it is also playful and known for nipping its trainers in excitement.
Ash’s Totodile was the last of the starters to join his team and became quite popular, even causing Ash to battle Misty for the right to keep it.
After battles, Totodile was known for its victory dances, often breaking out into jigs and spins.
