I'd go with either Mudkip. Some of Treecko's stats are lower than Torchic and Mudkip's, which really cancels him out of my selection. Torchic also hase base stats lower than Mudkip, which also cancels him out, with me left with Mudkip.

Note: The base stats are from the natures that don't affect base stats

 I'll most probably pick Treecko. He was my bro back in the Sapphire days and it's going to be nice to get to go through those memories again with him.

 Plus his mega is either going to be super awesome or crap.

I still am planning on starting my first run through with Mudkip. It is the only Hoenn starter that I do not have. I know I can get one in HGSS but it takes forever to get it from Steven and THEN to transfer it twice. This way I can use it right away without a loooooooooooong wait!

Treecko for me. Mudkip doesn't really appeal to me, and Torchic's overrated these days.

Planning on getting Alpha Sapphire, and on there I'm gonna pick Mudkip. I haven't raised one for serious in a long time, plus I always pick the Water starter as it is, so... business as usual, I guess. =P

In the original i chose Torchic and lucked out and got a female so I was able to breed her.

But I chose Treecko because it's the only grass starter that isn't unattractive in it's final evolution.

Save for Meganium but I never took the Chikorita family seriously.

Torchic for 3 reasons:-

  • It's the one I started with in Sapphire and trained to level 100.
  • I don't currently own Blazikenite.
  • I will have easy access to the other 2 via Pokémon Bank. I could IV breed them in advance and transfer at level 1.

I've no real fancy for any starters these days so I'll probably ditch it when something sexier comes along. I really dislike Treecko so it'd be out of Mudkip and Torchic. I'd probs go for Torchic because there are so many more water types to choose from later on. Also, like everyone else, I had a Torchic in the original so... idk.

Starter I picked on RSE: Mudkip
Starter I will pick on ΩR/αS: Mudkip

Also, Mega Swampert looks not only cool, but the stats are great, well except that Swampert can easily be defeated by a Sceptile.

It's been a pretty tough choice. I'm buying both games, so for Omega I'll go with Torchic, since it's the starter I always chose for Ruby. As for Alpha, I've decided that I'll get myself Treecko, since I never ever go for the Grass types (I tried it with X, but Chesnaught's grass/fighting type disappointed).

I did the same with Delphox, design put me off completely. Though in that time I've had the chance to watch The Hobbit, so of course I regret my choice XD Goddammit GF

I'm going to choose Mudkip, as I have chosen Water-type starters ever since 1st Gen. That and all of my friends are going for Treecko, and I don't really want another Torchic.

Still going with Mudkip although I may start OR with Treeko. I have three or four Blaziken right now that another is just too much. Only one Blazikenite though so I might start OR with Torchic and then trade it to my Pokemon Y game as soon as I get the Mega Stone and simply erase and start a new game.
