I never used Victini so the fact that there will be a Fire/Psychic is still very exciting however, I think I'm going to be a Chespin fan.

i hope fenniken doesn't turn out to be fire/psychic, but if it does, it won't be that big of a deal. it's a generally unused typing, with only two(?) pokemon before it having that combination... and both of those being pokemon i haven't had a chance to use.
if it has a nice move pool i might be more interested in it, but usually fire starters have pretty much the same moves. maybe the psychic will give it a little bit of offset at later levels? usually all fire starters end up learning a couple fire type moves and a ton of fighting ones. it might be a breath of fresh air.
i have some high hopes for it, but if it turns out to be a letdown, i've always got froakie.
i feel like whatever happens, froakie's gonna be sweet. so sweet.

if i could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass me by?

fennekin for sure but froakie isn't bad

never liked rodents, srry chespin. but maybe its evolutions will be more appealing to me

i just have an issue since i'm going to pick fennekin, but i'm (very obviously) a cat fanatic so i want to have litleo on my team too

guess i'll just get X and Y both lololol
you're never gonna love me, so what's the use

Quick word on why Fennekin would be fire/psychic in particular - It's a fox. In Japanese folklore, foxes are known for being very mystical and having ghostly psychic powers... Plus you'll note in the animations that it seems to learn some psychic type attacks. Though I guess there's the question of if it would be part Fairy type or something.

I am warming up to Froakie. I love frogs. And that's my favourite starter.

I honestly dont know who's my favourite. On one hand, Fennekin is a fox and foxes are awesome. But theres that small chance that Gamefreak is going to screw him up and making him fire/fighting. Chepsin looks derpy but I can imagine him evolving into a giant badass hedgehog thing with spikes. And Froakie, I know a lot of people seem to like Fennekin, so I might want to pick Froakie to counter all the Fennekin fans. In the end, I'll probably roll a die and go with it.

To be honest, what with the fan uproar, there is NO WAY Fennekin will evolve to be fire/fighting. If anything, it wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo purposefully threw in that punch as a trololol to laugh at the internet panic before revealing 'No srsly guys we're done with fire/fighting' XD

i hope i don't offend the person above me seeing as how they probably are fond of emboar but....

i just find tepig's whole evolutionary line, their typing, stats, and movepool completely lackluster. i didn't actually care for any of the unova starters too much actually. i just really want three good solid starters for gen 6 with interesting and new designs/features/typings/something ):

so yeah, fire/psychic fennekin would be cool. to me anyhow

just my opinion

I think these starters look promising. Since Hoenn I really haven't liked any of the starters, I would ditch them at my first chance.

I like Fennekin, of course. I just REALLY hope they don't mess him up with his evolutions...the evolutions are usually what I feel lets me down. But really. A fire fox?...I'm sure I'll still like it. I hope.

I really like Chespin too, although I'm not as keen on his weird hat thing. But at first I wasn't sure whether I liked him or Fennekin more, if anything I leaned towards Chespin. I think it will be the evolutions that sway my decision. I don't usually ever pick the grass starter, so it would be interesting.
Conscience is just another word for cowardice.
