Topic: Which Starter will you pick?

[SaRo|Rapidash]

Whether because it was your first or you've never played as one of them before, which starter are you most likely to choose (assuming it's still Hoenn starters)?

I think I'm going with Torchic in my Omega Ruby (my first starter ever and my first game) & Treecko in Alpha Sapphire (because I never use Treecko and it's statistically the best in RSE as I worked out with the strategy guide when I was 7 xD)

Treecko. I don't really like any of the Gen 3 starters but Treecko is just cute and I might not even evolve the little thing aww

[Awkward Squirtle]

I'll go Treecko too I think, and keep it as a grovyle, cos that thing just looks unbelievably cool.

[JSM]

I'll be using Treecko, it'll be the first starter I'm using in gen VI =)

[Shaymin]

i know i'm gonna have treeko and my bro will go for mudkip - we can easily get torchic off of xy as it is anyhoo

[Sebastian Moran]

hburr durr my first thought on reading this topic was "oh have the new starters been released?" before remembering what games they were.

but uhhh yes i expect i'll go for treecko because i am boring and always go for the grass types.
that and for nostalgia.
i'm a sucker for nostalgia.

wonder if there'll be some other starter available as well, like there was in XY and the gen I ones? though probably not given the lack of mega evolutions, assuming that was the whole reason for putting them in XY. though technically there could be more, idk how that would pan out with connecting to XY if they're not in the game data (excepting lati@s of course...).
 
wait i got sidetracked. treecko i say, my answer is treecko.

OH GEE DECISIONS, DECISIONS.

Also, you all suck :<

(Also Dick, add a poll please, I'm curious)

Going to pick Torchic as it's my favourite of the starters, and who I used when I played Ruby.

[kindtocrows]

Probably either Torchic or Treeco, depending on what my friends pick. Torchic because it's awesome, and Treeco because of the PMD: Explorers games.

Maybe I should go with Mudkip for nostalgia, since it was my first gen 3 starter...? Nah, I never really played through with a different starter, so I'll go with something different.

The grass starter looks like it might end up being a dragon/grass type, which is cool. So probably that. The chicken is clearly going to be fire/flying and ain't nobody got time for that. At least it isn't fire/fighting again I guess.

I am going to start with Mudkip in Alpha Sapphire. I already have about three Blaziken and two Torchic, one which has Speed Boost. So I won't need a Torchic. Treeko I can get from a Sceptile I got from SS. Hopefully Pokemon Bank and Transporter gets upgrades so we can use transferred Pokemon!

Added it now - I meant to add one before school but kinda forgot but I wanted to post the first topic in the board because gen III xD (The other one was moved I don't count it =P)

....and you're obviously choosing Chimchar.

[Turner]

Hmmmm well on Sapphire I picked Treecko but I kept it as a Grovyle, might do the same but it depends greatly on whether or not I actually use the starter.

[Delicious_Scout]

Ah, the 3rd gen starters. When they were released, all of them proved thay they could be solid staples in-game, and so they are in 3rd gen competitive.

For me, I would like to say I could easily pick one, but I only know something for sure; Torchic is discarded. I already have a Speed Boost one (going well, ShinyBlazi ;3) and, honestly, I prefer having a Pokémon I do not usually use. Treecko is excellent, but needs HP (Ground, Ice or Fire) to shine, and Swampert does not get Avalanche as a level-up move (yet). Moreover, I can not RNG Abuse for them, so this discourages me from chosing Treecko as the only one answer. Although Swampert is my favoruite Water Starter, I did choose it in Sapphire.

The election is hard.

[Clairefable]

Gonna have to go with Torchic since he was my bro in my first Ruby playthrough many many moons ago...
