You need to catch every pokemon in Hoenn and then go see Professor Birch and he will let you have either totodile, chikorita, or cyndiquill.
To get a Totodile in FireRed you must trade it over from Emerald version. To get the Totodile in Emerald you must first complete the Hoenn PokeDex and you will be given a choice of three Pokemon: Totodile, Cindiquil and Chikorita.
no totodile is not obtainable is firered, but it is on emerald
i met one (wild) wen walking pass 103 but didnt have a poke ball with me...
Complete the national pokedex (catch 200 pokemon) you can also get Cyndiaquil or Chikorita but you can only choose one :(
In Emerald you can't get Totodile, Chickorita and Cyndaquil, you can only get them in Gold and Silver. In Emerald you get Torchick, Mudkip and Treecko.
trade
cindaquil must be migrated from emerald version... in emerald, once you catch all the pokemon, the professor offers you one of three pokemon... you may pick from the johto starters (cindaquil, chikorita, and totodile)
the only way to get cyndequil is to catch ALL 200 hoen Pokemon and get a call from the professor and he will give either a totodile, chikerita or a cyndiquil (1 only)
You Can Get Totodile By Trading It From Pokemon Emerald Or Pokemon HeartGold Or Pokemon SoulSilver.
You can't catch Totodile at all... You'd have to get it as your starter Pokémon in Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver and trade it.
In emerald, it can be gotten by completing the national pokedex, Birch gives you a choice between cyndaquil, chikorita, or totodile. Or you can get it in Pokemon XD, after beating Mt. Battle, there is still the same choice of either cyndaquil, chikorita, or totodile.
you cant unless you migrate of emerald once you've finished the dex and prof birch gives you a choice of chickorita, cyndaquil or totodile
