The Importance of Starters

     We all, at some points in our lives, gave away our starter Pokemon for the "better" ones. But starters are actually a very important part of the game. They are the ones who first brought us into the world of Pokemon. They were the ones to take the first step with us. No matter which type you chose, water, fire or grass, you chose that one. 

     My first Pokemon was Piplup. I started the game when I was 7 or 8, so the first game I ever came to play was Pearl. I never gave away my Piplup, because of the fact that you could always rely on him. No matter in what situation, Piplup would be the first to enter a battle, whether was it with other trainers or facing wild Pokemon. 

     Starter Pokemon always would have that special connection that only you and it would share. Sometimes, they can be more than just pixels on a gaming device. They can become your friend, and can help you through problems you would never face alone.
