piplup and barry always sticks out in my mind as canon but I'm convinced the mach 10 moron would choose the mach 10 moron chimp over the slow turtle or penguin
Dawn and Piplup are iconic together. Chimchar is the only one that fits Barry's personality. Lucas gets Turtwig by process of elimination, but I think they go together well enough.
I personally choose turtwig but C feels most canon to me, infernape is just such a protagonist mon and empoleon just feels right with barry, that said there's good arguments for any of them
Red uses a Bulbasaur in LGPE, Generations and the manga.
Blue uses Charmander in LGPE and the manga.
Blue uses Bulbasaur in Evolutions.
Green uses Squirtle in LGPE, manga, and Evolutions.
Generations takes place in two different Gen 1 timelines - one where Red picks Bulbasaur.
(Episode 1), and the one where he picks Charmander (Episode 3).
Kris chooses Totodile in the anime and Masters EX.
Brendan chooses Mudkip in the anime and manga.
May chooses Mudkip in Masters EX.
Lucas chooses Chimchar in Evolutions.
Dawn chooses Turtwig in Masters EX.
Barry chooses Piplup in the anime and Masters EX.
Hilbert chooses Tepig in the manga.
Hilda uses Tepig in Masters EX and temporarily in the manga. She uses Snivy in the manga.
Bianca uses Oshawott in the manga.
B. The only reason Barry gets paired with empoleon is because Ash cucked him out of chimchar in the anime. Infernape was made for his personality. Dawn and Piplup are iconic. Lucas and turtwig just feel right with each other
Obviously the dp / bdsp opening >Lucas - Turtwig >Dawn - Chimchar >Barry - Piplup
Ok but seriously the anime/manga totally fits the characters the best since Lucas is slow (slow game haha), Barry is fast and Piplup/ Impoleon just seems perfect for Dawn with contests and just the general color scheme
B, as in the manga and the anime (the MC gets Turtwig, the rival gets Chimchar and the female companion gets Piplup)
Barry only gets Piplup in the anime because we need an Empoleon user and Dawn's doesn't evolve
none of these
dawn piplup, lucas chimchar, barry turtwig
i like lucas and barry having starters that balance out their mellowness and hyperactivity respectively, makes for a better character arc, needing to learn from the other's main trait in order to work better with their pokemon because they got them in a rush from the professor's bag
and dawn is the protag
B

Dawn has all three. The boys cry about it.
Piplup and Dawn are the iconic duo, plus I picked Turtwig, so the middle one.
Dawn and Piplup are iconic together. Chimchar is the only one that fits Barry's personality. Lucas gets Turtwig by process of elimination, but I think they go together well enough.
Chimchar was tailor made for Barry's character.
>Chimchar was tailor made for Barry's character.
He seems to get paired with Piplup more often than not, though.
There is no canon starter. You morons don’t know what canon means.
>Dawn and Barry both had Piplup in the anime just for Ash to have the other two.
Privileged to be the main character.
It makes the most sense for Dawn to Piplup and Barry to have Chimchar
I play as the girl so in my mind Dawn gets Turtwig and Lucas gets Piplup
B
A Piplup for each one.
I personally choose turtwig but C feels most canon to me, infernape is just such a protagonist mon and empoleon just feels right with barry, that said there's good arguments for any of them
none of these because i played as dawn and chose chimchar
So A then?
lucas is the protag in all the scenarios in the OP because barry has the starter with the type advantage against him
B barry and infernape always seemed right
A friendly reminder that it's

B or C
B, definitely. Chimchar's the only one that suits Barry and Piplup works best for Dawn.
A is the most aesthetically pleasing, b is canon
C, the fire starter us always the canon choice
B, as in the manga and the anime (the MC gets Turtwig, the rival gets Chimchar and the female companion gets Piplup)
Barry only gets Piplup in the anime because we need an Empoleon user and Dawn's doesn't evolve
B of course
2nd one
infernape fits berry so much better then empoleon
yet my game is the 1st one since i chose piplup as lucas
none of these
dawn piplup, lucas chimchar, barry turtwig
i like lucas and barry having starters that balance out their mellowness and hyperactivity respectively, makes for a better character arc, needing to learn from the other's main trait in order to work better with their pokemon because they got them in a rush from the professor's bag
and dawn is the protag
