Starter Pokémon (also known as "Starters") are the Pokémon that you can start with. In the main series, the player often has the choice of 3 starter Pokémon, which usually are Grass-, Water-, and Fire-Types, forming what's known as the "Type Triangle" (Water beats Fire, Fire beats Grass, Grass beats Water). Each generation has 3 different starter Pokémon.(except for one, which has 5, since Pikachu and Eevee are added.
In UnovaRPG, the player chooses a starter Pokémon when he/she creates an account. The Pokémon starts at level 12, and can be found on maps (also at level 12).

Trivia / Fun Facts[]
- In the early versions of UnovaRPG (during the Pokémon Indigo era), possessing Shiny Starters was illegal and could get you banned.
- Before the starters-in-maps update, low-level or basic-stage starters were often traded for rare Pokémon such as Arceus, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza and sometimes Mothim. And it was considered a good deal.
- Bulbasaur is the only basic-stage starter to ever have a secondary type in the main series. However, this was useless in UnovaRPG, since secondary types were introduced in the game after a very long time. Before that, there were no secondary types.
- Swampert (Mudkip's Stage 2 evolution) is the starter Pokémon with the highest overall stats, with a base stat total of 535.
- Three of the six Fire-Type starters have a Fire-Fighting Type Stage 2 evolution. These Pokémon are Torchic, Chimchar and Tepig.
