Yes, we&#8217;re on the cusp of Gen VIII with the release of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/pokemon_sword_and_shield\"><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/strong><\/a> and very soon you&#8217;ll be able to choose between Grookey, Scorbunny and Sobble before embarking on a journey through the brand new Galar region. Spiffing!<\/p>\n<p>Your choice of starter Pok\u00e9mon has been a key ingredient in the games since the original <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gameboy\/pokemon_red_and_blue\"><strong>Pok\u00e9mon Red and Blue<\/strong><\/a>, and your selection can affect the first hours of the game quite significantly. The very act of choosing creates a bond and they&#8217;re the &#8216;mon you end up spending the most time with as they grow and (quite literally) evolve with you. It&#8217;s no wonder that starter Pok\u00e9mon (and their evolutions) are generally among the most popular Pocket Monsters in their respective games.<\/p>\n<p>But which are the best starter Pok\u00e9mon from the whole series to date? We&#8217;d like your help to sort the best starters from the total non-starters as we assemble, Avengers-style, the ultimate generational mix of Grass, Fire and Water.<\/p>\n<p>Today we&#8217;re kicking things off with the Fire-type starter Pok\u00e9mon, with Water and Grass to come soon. Below you&#8217;ll find the eight fiery beginner beasts from each generation &#8211; simply click your favourite and hit the &#8216;Vote&#8217; button to register your pick. Whether you choose based on nostalgia, appearance or their potential evolutions is entirely up to you, but think carefully &#8211; you only get one pick. Obviously, Scorbunny is at a disadvantage seeing as very few people in the world right now have had a chance to bond with him, but then again he has the benefit of being the new bunny on the block.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s take a look at who&#8217;s on the (fire)starting line. Light the fuse&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart! No, hang on, that&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OiYjTb3opAA\">Captain Planet<\/a>. Feel free to unleash the fire within and let us know below which of the starters above are old flames and which fizzled from the off like a cheap sparkler. Keep an eye out for the next starter soon&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re going to go out on a limb and guess that you&#8217;ve probably heard about the new Pok\u00e9mon game coming out very soon.
