Pokemon - Do you ever abandon your starter?

[Cherri]

Generally I always keep my starter with me. And I always name them. The only times I can remember not keeping my starter with me was Totodile and Mudkip. I wasn't fond of the evolutions and got different water types. In X/Y I have my Greninja and Blastoise. My team is water/dark heavy and it doesn't matter.

Never! I just can't, I'd hurt it's nonexistent feelings. We were together from the start!

I DO YES. In Gen V I abandoned my fire pig and in Gen IV my turtle. (Though I think Turtwig is the cutest of the Gen IV starters) But after Gen 2 I haven't been a big fan of the starters. For Gen 1 I have a hard time choosing a favorite (Charmander, usually) and for Gen 2 always Totodile (Croconaw~♥).

Here's hoping that in the next generation I find some of the starters I am in love with haha

If it's charizard - it stays. Thinking of the all games i played (started with yellow, or was it red), I think i never ever abandoned my starter, it is the one that started with me and I kept it till my last dying breath XD

I don't usually, but there were a lot of grass pokemon in B/W that I like so I don't use my Serperior as much as I would have liked to ( plus his nature/IV were sort of bad for a serperior and I affectionate-mock nickname him Failperior in my head lol Q_Q;; ). I still love him though and I did kind of use him all the way till the end, switching between him and other grass Pokemon.
