Johto Starters and Evolutions: The Totodile Line

By: Jo

It’s small, blue, and has a rather big mouth. Totodile, the Big Jaw Pokemon, is the Johto region’s water-type starter. Totodile are known to be playful and silly, and always find the time to laugh at themselves as well as others. They enjoy biting on things and sometimes even end up biting their trainers too.

According to its pokedex entries, Totodile enjoy chomping down on anything that seems to move. At times, that includes its trainer. Though because of its well-developed jaws, it has to be careful because even a nip to them can end up causing a serious injury. Though it is small, it is considered ‘rough and tough’ which may be a reference to its skin. Totodile is the tallest and heaviest of all water-type starters. Along with Turtwig, Totodile evolves at the highest level a starter Pokemon can evolve at. Totodile is the only Pokemon able to learn Dragon Claw through breeding, though can’t learn it through TM (that was reversed in Generation V). Totodile is based off from a baby crocodile. Its name is most-likely a combination of the words ‘tot’ and ‘crocodile’.

My Favorite Starter Pokemon

By Anonymous

With the release of generation 5 I have one very important question for you, “which Pokemon starter is your favorite?’ While you ask yourself that question please allow me to give my input on which starters I think are the best ever. Just because I say starters Doesn’t mean their all in one generation. I mean a favorite grass starter, fire starter, and a water starter.

My favorite fire starter definitely has to be the new one, Tepig. Why you may ask? Well for one I think this starter is extremely unique. I mean look at it! It’s an awesome fire piggy. Not to mention its evolutions make me squeal every time I see it. If you still need other reasons here are more to think about. For one, Tepig gets a great evolutionary move set down the line if you train it properly. Not to mention the addition of and additional type which is Fight. Tepig can learn about all of the powerful fire moves and gets a special move for triple battles. So not only is this Pokemon extremely cute, It is well rounded, a great first pick for an adventure, and gains a sub type that makes up for its weaknesses.
