Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region but are the aforementioned in each region every bit the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle; Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile; and and so on.

In A Mudkip Mission, it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special, hole-and-corner convenance grounds run by a Pokémon Breeder for starter Pokémon. The Pokémon League sends these Breeders the Pokémon Eggs for them to hatch at the breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the immature Pokémon until they are prepare to be proper starter Pokémon for new Trainers. Every bit these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of convenance grounds (or even the cognition of their existence) is a hush-hush unknown to most in the Pokémon earth. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as Team Rocket) from poaching the young Pokémon.

However, non all starter Pokémon are raised at these special convenance grounds, with Professor Birch said to catch and raise his own starter Pokémon for Trainers.

Other rookie Trainers may receive their beginning Pokémon from a friend or relative instead. Others, on the other paw, may befriend a Pokémon in the wild. These mean that Trainers can, in fact, start with whatsoever Pokémon.
