Every trainer has to start somewhere. Each region of Pokemon (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova) offer new trainers a selection of three 'Starting Pokemon', to begin their quest with. These three Pokemon often have powerful evolutions, and are offered to you usually by the professor of the region. The choice of Starter Pokemon is always a choice between Grass, Fire and Water-type Pokemon (unless you are playing Pokemon Yellow).

In the games, you'll receive your Starter Pokemon at level 5. They'll have a damaging move, such as Scratch or Tackle, and a stat effecting move, such as Leer or Growl.
