Starter Pokemon

## Starter Pokemon and Kinda Starter Pokemon

Every Region, **Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Unova, Sinnoh, and Kalos**, has a Professor that presents each new Trainer with a Pokemon to start their journey. All of the Starters are the three basic types, **Grass, Water, and Fire**, 2 Starters have dual-typings right off the bat, **Rowlet and Bulbasaur. Pikachu** is the only Starter that has a pre-evolution and to be an **Electric Type, Pikachu** doesn't like going into a Pokeball so it was also the first Pokemon to be presented out of its Pokeball. The **Alola Region** doesn't really have any Starters because it doesn't have a Professor to present new Trainers with new Pokemon, it has a Principal. **Rowlet, Popplio, and Litten** are not actually Starters of the **Alola Region,** in the games they are but in the series there are no Starters in ***Pokemon: Sun & Moon.***  **Ash** catches **Rowlet** first then later on he catches **Litten** and **Lana** catches **Popplio** so really there are no real Starters in **Alola.** The **Alola Region** has a ***Pokemon School*** instead of **Gyms**. It also has a Pokemon Professor (Teacher), **Professor Kukui**.
