However, Nintendo soon realized their mistake and added Pikachu as the yellow Pokemon in the starters. Not to mention, it came with a very poor encounter rate. In Red and Blue Pokemon, Pikachu could be found only in the Power Plat or the Viridian Forest. But it was kind of disappointing to find out that Pikachu was not a part of the starter Pokemon set. It was always a difficult decision to choose between these three. They are special because they have a unique role to play on your Pokemon journey. These three are the most iconic of all the available Pokemon starters. The first generation starter Pokemon include Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur. Every generation comes with a different set of starter Pokemon. There is a total of eight generations of Pokemon available.
