Which starter has the greatest movepool?

Question

By "greatest movepool" I mean the ability to learn the most relative moves.

Answer 1

As of Gen VI, the starting Pokemon who learn the most moves are:

• Bulbasaur learns a total of 59 moves.
• Charmander learns a total of 61 moves.
• Squirtle learns a total of 59 moves.
• Chikorita learns a total of 53 moves.
• Cyndaquil has a total of 56 moves.
• Totodile has a total of 63 moves.
• Treeko has a total of 62 moves.
• Torchic has a total of 57 moves.
• Mudkip has a total of 56 moves.
• Turtwig learns a total of 56 moves.
• Chimchar learns a total of 62 moves.
• Piplup learns a total of 54 moves.
• Snivy learns a total of 56 moves.
• Tepig learns a total of 57 moves.
• Oshawott learns a total of 56 moves.
• Chespin learns a total of 67 moves.
• Fennekin learns a total of 51 moves.
• Froakie has a total of 57 moves.

First, I just want to make it clear I counted all these manually and that I might have a miscount somewhere. You can check, but you probably don't have time for that. They're pretty much all in the same general ballpark with Chespin leading all and Fennekin at the bottom. I counted by actual starting Pokemon, not their evolutions. Also, I didn't count repeats.

My favorite starter's got 62! Representing! So much street credibility!

Mine also has 62. Can you guess which?

Since nobody likes Chimchar (infernape is great though) I'm guessing Treecko! Which is my favorite too.

Its Chimchar because of Infernape.

Thanks! Because you counted this manually I have so much respect for you.
