Pokemon-go – Does it really matter which starter you pick

pokemon-go

Your starter pokemon become useless immediately when you level up and catch stronger pokemon. Does picking a starter pokemon give you some kind of bonus at some things? Or is it just an irrelevant tutorial thing?

It doesn't really matter which starter you pick, as you can catch all of the starters in the wild, or hatch them from eggs. It is just an ode to how all Pokémon games start, and part of the very brief tutorial thing. You can also just walk away from the 3 starters and get a Pikachu as a starter instead if you wish.
