Starter Pokémon

Starter Pokémon, or Starters are the Pokémon a trainer chooses at the beginning of their Pokémon Journey. In each generation of Pokémon games, a set of starter Pokémon are available for new trainers to choose from, usually in sets of three; the types that make up these sets are Fire, Grass, and Water. Pokémon Yellow is the sole exception to date, with Pikachu as the only starter.
