      That would be way too easy tho. In a normal playthrough it's very unlikely that you even have 1000 Pokémon battles. So if aren't actually shiny-hunting for hours on end, the chances are pretty low that you actually encounter a shiny or, in this case, anything but a shiny.

    I usually pick the Fire starter, not because I hate the Grass or Water starters, but I just like the Fire starter better. My all time favorite starter is Infernape.
    I did, however, pick Chikorita in Soul Silver, Snivy in Black/White and Black/White 2 and Froakie in Y. I also plan on picking Sprigatito in Scarlet/Violet, so I do sometimes pick others. In fact, funny enough, Water is the starter I've picked the least. Which is ironic considering blue is my favorite color.

    Ooh, John, I had a suggestion for you!
    I love the concept of this video, but how to expand on it? Make it an extended, multivideo race! After beating a gym, you can save, so your reset point advances every time. First to beat Wallace (over the course of 8-10 videos, maybe!) is the true winner!

    Wow! I never expected to hear something that instantly reminds me of my childhood while attempting my first nuzlocke (bet I'll regret it cause I get very attached to all my pokemon). Anyway, back when Sliver and gold came out, I finally got into Pokemon and was given Sliver for my birthday. My two older brothers were already into pokemon and were each given gold. I was a possessive little brat and didn't want to share my starter, thus demanding rules to our pokemon picks! After a game of rock-paper-siccors the order was set. First, my brother picked the fire type. Second, my eldest brother picked water type. So I, yes me, was left with Grass! For the next few years whenever I started any pokemon game (along with my brothers) we'd stick to our types. This did stop after my big brothers stopping playing the games after X and Y. Still though, I see grass starters as "mine". They hold a very unique place in my heart: that selfish little girl in me giggles when I pick the grass starter of any generation.

    Pearl was my very first game, and Turtwig my very first starter. BW I picked Snivy. HeartGold was a Chikorita. And so on, so forth. Only game that I broke the pattern on was Emerald; I started with Torchic.

    Honestly, I used to always pick the fire type starter. It was back when my favorite Pokemon was Charizard, then Quilava, so I had a weird bias towards fire types. So I picked Torracat for my first playthrough of Pokemon Sun, then I continued until I decided to quit the weird bias. I'm relieved it wasn't present when I started Pokemon Black. Or even Ultra Moon! Now who I consider my main Pokemon, Declan the Decidueye, exists. And he's awesome.
