Pokemon GO Starters
When you first start Pokemon GO, you’ll have to choose between Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur as your starting Pokemon, which any seasoned Pokemon fan will remember from the good ol’ days of Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue.
Pokemon GO – How To Get Pikachu As Starter
There’s a way to use these these three Pokemon to call Pikachu and choose him as a starter.
- Once you start the game, Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur will show up and surround you. Ignore them.
- Walk away from them (don’t catch them!), stop, and then wait for them to reappear at your location.
- Do this four or five times. On the fifth time, Pikachu should join them, and you should be able to select Pikachu as your starter Pokemon.
