Top Ten Cutest Starter Pokemon

The Top Ten
1 Mudkip Mudkip, known in Japan as Mizugorou, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Is someone lieing or messing with me saying mudkip is only 8th cutest. Cute is the best word to define it so much better than oshowatt. I mean oshowatt is nice but mudkip rekts him so hard. You could say the same about Chespin but fennikin is not cute. Chickorita maybe 10th. Piplup is cute maybe ties for 2nd. Bulbasaur is nice but not as good as Mudkip. I guess ciniquil is cool but still behind mudkip. I see why charmander is 9th but turtwig should be higher.

Cutest Pokemon ever, never mind the starters. Mudkip is the perfect Pokemon when it comes to cuteness. Cute look, cute mannerisms, cute voice, cute everything! Mudkip should be #1! He is the best. I LOVE Mudkip so much!

First starter. Just look at it, the face, the legs, it's just so cute. Then, level it up to LV.36 and BAM! It turns into a mighty Swampert. Not the best and not as popular as Blaziken, but it's a pretty good partner to have if I say so myself.

2 Oshawott Oshawott, known in Japan as Mijumaru, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Oshawott's truly the cutest starter Pokemon I have ever seen. He has a cute little scallop on his tummy that he will grab and wave around, he is the perfect shape, the perfect shade of blue, and just all around adorable. (I may just be biased because he was my first starter Pokemon ever... Just maybe.) But he is totally the cutest!

Oshawott truly deserves number one :). If you have every played pokepark 2: wonders beyond, that game should prove all it needs for Oshawott to be number one. In the game he was brave, smart, and he always stood up for Sivy, Tepig, and Pikachu. In white and black he always stood in my party ready to kick some serious butt.

Oshwott is a strong but cute pokemon!
It would fit well as #1 because this pokemon is just perfect in battle and
is adorable! Although Samurott may be a tad ugly The evolution of oshawott is epic!

P.S. Sans would love Oshawott in every way ( Especilly the blue! )

3 Cyndaquil Cyndaquil, known in Japan as Hinoarashi, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

When I hear cyndaquil voice I'm like Ah so cute. I like everything about cyndaquil but what I like the most is that it shoots fire from its back and when it's using fire blast. I thought cyndaquil would be number one and I was right.

A little and fluffy Pokemon with adorable eyes, that evolves into a cute little thing called Quilava, and then in a strong Volcano Pokemon ready to explode! So it's cute, but it can also become strong.

It's so good! (20x more times) Cyndaquil is so adorable! I mean, just look at him! If that fuzzy blue and yellow stuff was fur, wouldn't you want him to sleep in your bed with you every night?!

4 Piplup Piplup, known in Japan as Pochama, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Honestly, this might be for sentimental reasons, but Piplup was both creative (there had been no penguin Pokemon prior) and adorable, growing into a powerhouse that has only become stronger with the addition of fairy and it's weakness to steel (still iffy on that fact, correct me if needed).

Piplup is my favorite Pokemon because Love penguins and piplup the penguin Pokemon. All a got to say is that piplup is the most adorable, cutest, small beak, cute king, and little red Pokemon hood starter Pokemon ever.

This Adorable Pokemon has to be the cutest starter Pokemon ever! It is so cute and it is friendly and funny in the anime, this Pokemon has to be the number one starter Pokemon ever!

5 Chikorita Chikorita, known in Japan as Chicorita, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Chikorita is WAY too cute! The adorable leaf, adorable eyes, adorable tail...adorable...EVERYTHING! Chikorita is not only my favorite starter, but it's also my favorite Pokemon- -out of all to date! But why are female Chikorita so rare? It feels like male Chikorita are rarer! Same with Pokemon like Fennekin, Snivy, Sylveon, and more! But still- -Chikorita is the CUTEST!

Isn't Chikorita cute? With the cute eyes, it's green skin that is the color of spring leaves, and it's very big and cute leaf on its head! It should be #1! And Bayleef is so cute too! Bayleef in the anime has a crush on ash which makes it even more cute. And Meganium has those cute flower on its neck which I think represents beauty and grace

I really like Chikorita. I played Generation 2 first than the other Generations because of CHIKORITA. And Chikorita evolves like a Dinosaur. Chikorita is my first Starter Pokemon. Because t so so much adorable

6 Fennekin Fennekin, known in Japan as Fokko, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Fennekin was my first ever (non-physical/card) Pokemon. I have a doll version of them and it is very cute. I was like ten so I chose Fennekin based on looks but Delphox was the strongest member of my team. Even my Blastoise (which ended up being my first ever level 100) wasn't as strong as my Firie (couldn't spell and wasn't creative) when I defeated the Elite Four and the Champion. It only took forever because I avoided trainers & battles but they would've only been even stronger. Sadly, my game randomly reset so I don't have Firie anymore but I named my physical PokeDoll after them. :-D

Why is this Pokemon not the first? He or she is so cute I would easily pick it. It is a fire type so it is strong. It would maybe lose to a water type, but that is only if you can NOT fight well. It also evolves into strong Delfox. The next evolution of this Pokemon is cute

Just look at Fennekin it's so unbelievably adorable who ever thinks otherwise is evil. Just imagine holding that cutie in your arms the thought of it is just to cute I could die.

7 Popplio Popplio, known in Japan as Ashimari, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Why only #20!? Think back to when you first choose your starter in sun/moon. When you select which one you want to pick, both Rowlet and Litten have the exact same expression when you choose them. But popplio looks up at you with these big, adorable eyes and floppy ears and smiles at you when they are chosen, unlike Rowlet/Litten!

Popplio I'm not crazy about and I've already deicied to choose rowlet but I don't think poplio deserves all the hate it gets.

Popplio is the cutest of all starters! I don't understand why all the hate.

8 Bulbasaur Bulbasaur, known in Japan as Fushigidane, is the first Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Bulbasaur pokedex entry number 1. This little guy has captured the hearts of many trainers (including me) the adorable little bulb and those cute eyes easily the cutest from my opinion. And besides everyone says venusaur is ugly, however it's not it is a beautiful grass type Pokemon.

People hate 90s Pokemon now because of the so called Genwunner. Love retro Pokemon, it was popular in the 90s, now its just either video game geeks, it came back with Pokemon Go and some live action movie.

I think Bulbasaur is adorable. It's just so sad, give Bulbasaur some love nobody cares. He's also the best choice in Pokemon red and blue, gym wise. He's awesome live with it.

9 Torchic Torchic, known in Japan as Achamo, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Treecko is overrated Mudkip is an annoying cliché meme sometimes I feel Torchic is the most underrated of the 3 because everybody loves Sceptile and people praise Swapert for having a super high base stat total, but Blaziken is the best one! Even though Fire is weak against Rock I beat Roxanne super easily with only my Torchic/Combusken!

He's so cute and I want to hug him! I love it when he does his ember attacks. I don't know why you would bother checking which is cutest!

Chickens for life! As the best animal ever, Torchic is a great representation of chickens! WHO'S WITH ME?

10 Rowlet Rowlet, known in Japan as Mokuroh, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

He's SOOO cute! I love how he's round, it just adds to the cuteness overload! WAY cuter than Cyndaquil because he's so CUTE! Ever since Gen 6, Cyndaquil has been the most ridiculous looking starter. (The fire on his back has been removed)

Best Alolan starter. Rowlet is so cute, Dartrix is my favourite middle evo and Robinroot my favourite final evo. Popplio has a nice evolution too but Litten's final is awful. I'm picking ROWLET! If I could pick 2 starters I would also pick POPPLIO.

Rowlet is possibly the cutest possible starter, period. Not only does it dress fashionably, but it has the cutest and fluffiest aspects.

The Contenders
11 Squirtle Squirtle, known as Zenigame in Japan, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. It was originally conceived by Game Freak's character development team and finalized by Chaniah Pantry. It is a squirrel-turtle hybrid. It is a starter Pokémon and evolves into Wartortle which evolves into Blastoise.

Squirtle is the cutest Pokemon ever? Isn't he in the top 10 instead of the top 12?

May's Squirtle is so adorable. It's like a shimmering pearl in the sea.

I love squirtle. I want it to be 1st place. If you do so, then please vote squirtle. Thanks

12 Turtwig Turtwig, known in Japan as Naetle, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Please guys, show some love for Turtwig! This underrated little guy is hardly ever seen on TheTopTens. However, I think it's adorable! A great Turtle/Tortoise cutie to follow up Squirtle! Plus, Torterra's Grass/Ground typing is great!

Turtwig is pretty awesome! I picked him for my starter during my diamond play through. He never disappointed me. Well, until I got to the ice gym (I should've looked at a type chart before I tried this gym)... But besides that, he dominated.

Turtwig deserves at least the 5 or 3 spot. Because he may not be the number 1 but he can always do better. I picked him for my starter and he never seized to amaze me.

13 Charmander Charmander, known as Hitokage in Japan, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise introduced in the games Pokemon Red and Blue. Available in Pokemon Red, Green, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen, this Pokémon is a fire type starter Pokémon. It evolves into Charmeleon at level 16, which evolves into Charizard at level 36.

Seriously? Charmander is the best and the the cutest of everything don't mess with the charmander

One my favourite starters. Charizard is really cool but overrated.

First charmander is cutest starter. Second pickup is not as cute as turtwig and chimchar

14 Chespin Chespin, known in Japan as Harimaron, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Chespin is so cute. I all ways saw charmander as ugly. I also think chespins evo looks cooler. Ugly overrated piece of junk that was to charizard by the way. And Yes I just called charizard ugly so what are you gonna do.

Doesn't see this in the top 5
Instantly disappointed.

I actually think Oshawott is the cutest, but why is this only number 12?

This Pokemon is so cute with its red nose and three triangles and I always like triangles and it jacket and its face.

15 Eevee Eevee, known in Japan as Eievui, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise first introduced in the games Pokemon Red and Blue. Considered as the evolution Pokemon, it has the most evolutions out of all Pokemon species. Eevee can evolve to Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon depending on the method used. It serves as the mascot in the... read more

Eevee is technically a starter Pokemon in Pokemon : Gale of Darkness. I say technically because it's like Pikachu, you don't have the choice to pick a starter. The only thing that makes it different from Pikachu is that you can evolve the Eevee to any eeveelution in the gen 3 days.

Eevee isn't a starter for the same reasons Pikachu isn't. (1. Eevee can be found in the wild) (2. Eevee is not a water, fire, or grass type Pokemon) There are many other reasons too

This isn't a starter but in one game cube game, either Gale of Darkness or Colloseum you get an eevee as a starter and in the other one you get an umbreon and an espeon.

16 Snivy Snivy, known in Japan as Tsutarja, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

An adorable STARTER. At first it's kinda weak but just get it high level, and it is OP. It's also pretty cute. If you don't let it evolve (well I don't play often so I don't know how to do that) but servine doesn't have as powerful moves.

She looks like a mean pokemon but she is still cute. I don't know why she is called a grass snake.

Snivy is just simply the cutest, it's big eyes and tiny arms make it seem so adorable!

17 Tepig Tepig, known in Japan as Pokabu, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Not only is he ugly, but he's also extremely useless! It is a worthless and crappy Pokemon that shouldn't exist.

Tepig is the best starter in my opinion. I've got him in a game and now he's Emboar. Plus, he's a cutie!

Sense Tepig is so awesome he can defeat a opponent with his awesome flamethrower!

18 Litten Litten, known in Japan as Nyabby, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

No other cat looked appealing to me before but when I saw Litten I thought it was adorable plus Fire type starters are my favorite!

I love cats, I love fire types... Litten is the very reason that S and M were the best games when it comes to starters.

Litten is such a cute little kitty! Just hope it isn't going to stand up on two legs.

19 Pikachu Pikachu (Japanese: ピカチュウ) are a species of Pokémon, fictional creatures that appear in an assortment of video games, animated television shows and movies, trading card games, and comic books licensed by The Pokémon Company, a Japanese corporation. A mascot of the Pokemon franchise, it's considered to be the most iconic character of all Pokemon species, as well as a major character in Japanese... read more

For those who are about to vote just to say "He's not a starter Pokemon", he is. Remember, Ash got him as a starter Pokemon when the others were taken. So in a way, Pikachu IS a starter Pokemon.

Maybe Pikachu is not a starter pokemon but it must be one of starters.He is so cute,beautiful (male and female) and the most is unique.Pikachu is really loyal to Ash they will be together no matter what forever.I really like when Pikachu cares about Ash when their are hugging or at the movies like Pokemon the First Movie,Pokemon Lucario and the Mystery of Mew and Pokemon Diancie and the coocon of Destruction.Every starter pokemon must be loyal to it's trainer,care about his/her trainer and the most they both have to love each other like Ash and Pikachu.

Pikachu is the cutest of all. He is loyal to his trainers he should be on 1. Others are not cute as pikachu. He is my favourite Pokemon ever.

20 Totodile Totodile, known in Japan as Waninoko, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Totodile is so cute! And whoever keeps putting non-starter Pokemon on here stop! How is Mario ahead of Squirtle and teipig! They are the real starters! And Rayquaza? HE is A LEGENDARY. I can understand Picachu and Eevee because they were starters in the anime and Pokemon yellow but seriously? You are ruining the whole point of this list!

How can you even compete with Totodile! He's the best, his little face is the cutest ever, but still looks tough. He's the best, his design is flawless and his eyes can melt anyone's heart!

Just... Look at him/her! How cute Totodiles is! Who would not hug a Totodile? Or even... Cuddle with it! Totodile is cute, ardorable, and strong. Nobody can hate this crocodilian! (Unless it's your opinion).

21 Chimchar Chimchar, known in Japan as Hikozaru, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Cute strong and its final evolution definitely gets the job done. What else could you ask for in a starter.

In my game Chimchar took down everyone and it is cute so I think it should be in the top 5.

Chimchar should be in the top 10, I mean look at him.. I would cuddle him all day if I could.

22 Froakie Froakie, known in Japan as Keromatsu, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

Froakie is the cutest starter! He should be way higher on this list. Just look at those big eyes and cute fluffy frubbles.

This is my pokemon. I chose it in X and Super Mystery Dungeon.

Chose Froakie because I love frogs. Greninja is my favourite Kalos starter.

23 Treecko Treecko, known in Japan as Kimori, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise.

I agree with the guy that says its shiny is the best. Treecko's shiny colors are so awesome!

Treecko is so cute and is the only starter that doesn't have the awkward mid-evolution stage. 10/10 the best

Treeko should be up there hogging that #1 spot! Especially with that shiny version and its red tail that compliments and stands out againsed his/her blue body. its just a shiny under-rated pimp. he can climb walls and just imagine a shiny one holding a shiny honedge wearing a helmet, riding a shiny bubasaur. that would mutilate a stupid oshawott!

24 Scorbunny

Scorbunny is pretty cute!

25 Pichu Pichu is an Electric type Baby Pokémon introduced in Gen. 2. It evolves into Pikachu. It is in the in undiscovered egg group, since it's a baby Pokémon. It is No. 172 in the Pokedex. It can be called a joke character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, because of its awful stats and weak moves. After its comeback in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is considered one of the best characters in the game.

Adorable should be #1 on the top ten cutest pokemon list but doesn't belong on this list
