Poll: Pokemon 6th generation starters

[verdant monkai]

Victini [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Victini_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29] says hi.

Although I do like multi-typed starters. You know what would be real cool? A fire/water, water/grass, and grass/fire set of starters. Hell, Fire/water would be great for weather teams and a grass/fire mon could take advantage of Chlorophyll.

Tell him to go away he is frightening me.

Yeah I know he exists I have two, but I would like a normal pokemon with about 2 evolutions that is a fire/psy. Rather than a Rat/fairy/Mew-reboot, especially one which is a starter.

I share your desire for starters with mixed up types, although the likely hood of Nintendo actually doing it, is about as likely as them giving the game out for free. I think a batch of starters with highly offensive typing would be great.
Such as these un's
Fire/Electric
Water/Psychic
Grass/Ghost

Maybe not the grass one but I like the first two.

Hmm. Well I did start with Snivy last gen, so I'll probably pick either Fennekin or Froakie.

Thoughts?
I miss the Gen 1 and 3 pokemon
The new pokemon look pretty crummy in my opinion, they just seem... off.

What's wrong with Gen 2's Pokemon? Just curious.

Completely unrelated to the thread. Your avatar fills me with nostalgic bliss.

OP: I like the look of the starters but I like all the starters. It is all the rest of the regions pokemon that will make or break the game for me. As it stands I'll go either grass or fire. I like those 2.

I like how the firefox looks, it's cute, but I love water types and Froakie looks pretty good. The grass one looks like a different color Oshowatt.

Glad to hear that.

I recently got Kirby's Dream Collection and rediscovered my love for the little puffball.

Why all the hate on poor chespin! That guy is going to be my bro for my sixth Pokemon adventure.

 

[Fractral]

I may wait to see the base stats before I choose, but at the moment the only one who I don't think looks absolutely stupid is the fire starter, Fennekin. I think I must be getting old, as I've disliked most of the starters these past few generations. Gen 3 was the only generation where I liked all the starters, and I didn't like any of the Gen 5 starters at all. I could just about stand using Snivy.
I just hope they release some badass new pokemon so that I can make up for the cutesy starters in my party. Yveltal looks amazing though.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

Well the rumour is that Fennekin will end up being fire/psychic, Chespin will be Grass/Dark and Froakie will be Water/Fighting. I prefer Psychic pokemon (no particular reason, just find em cool) so I'll be going with Fennekin. Unless the final form reallylooks like butt.

 

[drzoidbergmd]

I always pick the fire starter out of tradition, mostly. The prospect of Fennekin eventually being fire/psychic excites me a great deal.

 

[Canadish]

It's gotta be Chespin. It took me a while to warm up to him, but I reckon he looks pretty good now. I just hope the later evolutions are good.

They're a better selection then the last bunch in any case. All of them are pretty cute.

 

[The White Hunter]

I like Fennekin the most, although I will most likely get them all at the start by trading with a few friends here!

I hope we get something other than a fire/fighting type, although it doesn't look like it's gonna be one.

I really hope we get some good type combinations out of it!

I can see grass/rock or grass/ground for Chesspin, which is the one I like most thus far. I need to see evos, stats, etc before I choose though. Aesthetically Snivy is best of gen 5, but it's movepool is piss poor.

 

[sextus the crazy]

(Seriously? Grass? Why not just Earth or plant? I mean,really.)

Plant makes sense, but earth type could theoretically encompass rock and ground types.

 

[SD-Fiend]

Froakie the Fogie frog. Especially if it evolves into a water fighting type would have a journey to the west theme with emboar and infernape.

 

[Judgment90]

I want to see all of their evolved forms first.

Especially since I am still skeptical about the fire starter.

But for the most part, I usually pick the one that looks the most useful.

Gen 1: I used Bulbasaur
Gen 2: I used Totodile
Gen 3: It was either Mudkip or Torchic
Gen 4: Went with Turtwig
Gen 5: Haven't played

Pretty much, once I see the fully evolved versions of all 3, I will know which one to pick.

 

[Innegativeion]

Fennikin looks the most appealing to me, and it'll be the first time my first pokemon playthrough took a fire starter since Generation 2 (FUCK YEAH! TYPHLOSION).

However, my decision will likely be greatly influenced by their fully evolved forms.

 

[Ashadowpie]

i dont even understand the States thing since im less then a casual pokemon gamer, i go for whats cute looking. that is all so i pic the fire fox thing. lets hope it doesnt go downhill like torchic's 3rd evo. the 2nd one was still cute, but wtf happened? it turned into a sharp looking kung fu turkey. not cool bro! not cool!

 

[Rickolas Walrus]

I think some people on here are thinking that Chespin will evolve into Grass/Dark, Fennekin Fire/Psychic, and Froakie into Water/Fighting. I've seen it other places too, so either the same person is on multiple sites or multiple people had the same idea. I think that could be kinda cool

 

[chadachada123]

I'll have to wait to see the evolutions, but right now, it's a close race between Chespin and Fennekin, with Chespin slightly winning. I just hope for some more unique typing, beyond fire/fighting.

This generation's starters are infinitely better than all of Gen V's. Snivy and Oshawott were piss-ugly, and Tepig was just...generic as hell. Froakie, while generic, at least has SOME character beyond "uh...it's kind of cute...I guess." The evolutions, I hope, will really start to shine. This is the first generation since, well, the second generation that I have actually liked every starter.
