Well, someone was going to do it... =P
I have to say, I don't DISLIKE any of them. The grass one is my least favourite though. I do really like the design of Froakie and I reckon he'll be the favourite overall - but for me, the rabid fox fan? Yeah, Fennekin is one of the most exciting things about the new games for me. Eeeeeeeeeeee <3<3<3<3<3
-
Yesss you read my mind, I was going to start a topic like this.
General consensus seems to be Froakie and Fennekin as favorites with no love for the grass type. Froakie wins out for me, if it's going to be water/fighting type as speculated then that'll be awesome. I can't wait to see their evos.
-
Cheswin the Chespin is going to be my starter. =333
-
Froakie is a realG
-
Chespin is adorable <3 As someone who usually ditches their starter I actually like all 3 this time :3
-
I like all the starters, but Froakie has to be my favourite, as I love frogs and it's really adorable <3
-
At the moment its fennekin, but the evos may change that. After all, snivy was my favourite Unova starter until samurrot was announced.
-
They all look awesome, but a frog with a beard? Can't be beaten. Saying that though, I thought all 3 of the last gen looked great and promising, then one turned out to be a fat fighting pig with a not-so-good beard and a ...thing...with a shell on its head.
-
Good point... I mean, I love Zorua, but Zoruak? Not as much, even if it is still pretty cool. And rarely do I ever prefer the starter evolutions to the Base stages. Hfffffff. Still, considering how meh the last gen's were, I'm pretty excited for how these ones will look. And given it's a fox, I'm heavily biased to be sticking with Fennekin all the way <3
-
Well, the good news is that it definitely doesn't look like we're getting another fire/fighting type.
-
I tend to gravitate more towards fire types out of the three, and Fennekin was no exception xD <3
Have to say though, all three starters look great!
-
They all look kinda meh this generation but I'm leaning towards Froakie right now, let's hope his evolution doesn't have creepy Mr Mime hands!
-
Fennekin looks beautiful to me :') Obviously I don't just base my choices on appearances but I'm not feeling the other two so much.
Chespin just looks strange as far as I'm concerned :o
-
Chespin. It's the grass-type lookalike of Dewott.
-
Leaning towards Fennekin, although Chespin is adorable <3
-
Fennekin.
If Fennekin ends up being the worst out of the three (Like how Snivy was in BW2, or... er, I dunno... Charmander at beginning ingame, or any fire starter up to gen 4 not including Cyndaquil) I will be so mad.
Although I do wonder what they'll look at at last evolution - surely the grass type will lose those ripoff qualities as it evolves... or something.
-
Froakie, hands down. Water/Fighting would be cool, but I'm not sure if that's the direction they'll take it. Is just me, or does it look like it's going to evolve into some sort of orchestrator frog? (Actually, maybe something based off The Frog Prince? ) And is that white fluff supposed to be clouds or froth?
Whatever, it looks like it has glasses and it's cute and I look forward to raising it.
-
Not sure, to be honest. They all look okay, but none of them really jump out at me like previous gen starters did. I'm waiting for final evos to decide for these, I guess.
-
I'll have to see their evolutions, I like Fennekin and Froakie, I was never a big fan of Oshawott and considering Chespin reminds me of Oshawott I'm not too keen on it. But who knows, it's evolution may make me love it (:
-
Fennekin or Froakie. I can't pick at the moment, so I'll have to see their evolutions first.
-

Those white circles on his face/nose are gonna grow into a moustache.
We're gonna have a french moustache frog.
Best Pokémon ever.
-
I wonder how they'll turn Fennekin into a fire/fighting. Tepig started four-legged and decided to stand up. Torchic didn't even have upper limbs.
-
Fennekin looks like it's going to have a total badass of a final evo, so that.
-
the froggy! it's really cute. Actually gonna be a first time I use a water starter first since RuSa. (RUBY SAPPHIRE REMAKE?!??111???111???TWO) even if Blaziken did end up my final favorite of the starters.
I hope it has fabulous evos.
The other's are okay.
-
I like them all (yes even Chespin) but Froakie wins. And for some reason I can't stop thinking that it's final evo is going to like Frogfucious from Super Mario RPG. It won't.
-
Froakie 4 life. I'm glad we get to choose a French delicacy as our starter in a France-ish region
-
At present, Fennekin, paws down. I hope it becomes more lupine when it evolves, but due to it's likely Fire/Psychic typing I doubt it.
As for the others... A chipmunk and another frog? Oh well. Perhaps they'll evolve into a buck- toothed dinosaur and a Poseidon amphibian.
-
i think too much people use choose fire typeswhat i think is
Fire type used : 60%
Grass type used : 10%
Water type used : 30
-
i am going chespin
i can imagine it having a funky evolution
-
I'm a constant Water-tytpe lover, so I would say Froakie. Cute little frog.
-
I want to train a Chespin. It has been a while since a grass type caught my attention.
-
I definitely think it's too early to decide a favorite starter when I haven't even played the game.
-
I'm just gonna leave this here..

(yeah it's fake but I hope you enjoyed your split-second heart attack ^_^)
Anyway yeah Chespin is my favourite atm but I'm not overly taken with any of them - but then, I never really am with the basics. I'm looking forward to the final stages!
-
I just hope fennekin doesn't turn out to be a fire/fighting type in his final evolution.
-
Fennekin is the only one that doesn't look horrible.
-
Horrible? I don't think so. I mean I don't like Froakie a whole lot, but that's just cause frogs aren't usually my thing. I might wait awhile after the games are released to sneak a peak at their final evolutions. Course I think I might start with Chespin.
-
Froakie looks like an exaggerated anime frog, I dont like it too much. I do like Fennekin and Chespin though.
-
The more I see Chespin the more I like it, though Froakie still grabs my attention more. Tbh Fennekin is just too much like a ~kawaii fox pokemon~ to be interesting.
-
Fennekin: Not bad. It looks all right. I would name it Heineken if I wanted one. So nice how Fennekin sounds like Heineken.
Froakie: Ugly! This thing is disgusting! I can not love this thing as much as the people who think it's a "French delicacy" or those who say "Froakie <3!" It's impossible for me to love it.
Chespin: I'll take it. Fennekin's too popular to make a good trade. I'm fine with Chespin.
-
When I get Ÿ I will have a fenniken named feline
-
My favourite is Fennekin. I got no special love for any type as such, but I still like Fennekin.
Somehow, I have a feeling Froakie is gonna surprise me. I don't like the idea of another frog-based Pokémon, but I think it's gonna have some badass final evo.
And Chespin? Meh. Mix and match of previous Pokémon. One thing new about Chespin is the fact that it's the only mammalian Grass type starter.
-
^ Hey, that reminded me of something. All Fire type starters are based of the Chinese Zodiac, All water type starters are based of of animals that live in the water and on land, and the grass type starters are all based off of dinosuar-like things. So chespin may turn out to be someting completly and totally unexpected!
-
Chespin is a mammal. Dinosaurs are reptiles. Not much of a connection.
And the Chinese Zodiac had porcupines? I never knew.
-
Cyndaquil is based of a rat...
-
I'm pretty sure Cyndaquil isn't a rat. It's more like a shrew/echidna/porcupine kind of thing. :S
Although I do see where you're coming from!
-
I'm gonna have to say Froakie, for two reasons:
A) It's a frog, my second-favourite animal after dolphins (boo for no dolphin pokémon)
B) It's a water-type, my friends call me Misty for a reason.
-
Mudkip! ..Oh, wait..
Eh, Fennkin for now, but I'm also not overly fond of any of them at the moment.
-
Atm, i'm swinging towards Fennekin, but I'll need to see final evos and movesets. Because I loved EQing the monkey in diamond with torterra, and Ice Beaming Serperior with Samurott in B/B2
-
after seeing the final evos:
Fennekin is the only decent one, but its a fox like every other pokemon ever.
Chespin's final evo looked like its been... up to something illegal
Froakie's is just fugly and derp and I have no other words.
for those of you who dont have your handy dandy pictures of X Y mon everywhere:

-
I REALLY hope this is fake. These are pure ugly. PURE ugly.
-
Me too, because you'd imagine there'd be more buzz about it. They just unfortunately look like if they are fakes, they're VERY well done.
-

I'm not sure how they end up doing the screenshots (are people really that dedicated that they'll fake 3D models now? ) but in my humble opinion, the "official" art looks WAYYY too amateur for anyone to seriously think this is anything but fake. Look how wonky Froakie's second stage is, and how unimaginative they are as a whole (but Chespin's line in particular) Though I do actually kinda like Froakie's last form, haha.
Keep in mind there are a lot of fake evos like this floathing around, whether it's just fan what-ifs or blatant attempts at faking things. Has CoroCoro ever revealed all the starter stages at once? I thought that's what the anime and movies were for.
-
How could anyone POSSIBLY think these are real? I could only barely believe Chespin's evos. That's it. Look how much Fenneken & Froakie change at their second fake "evolution". I would take a Fire-Fighting Fenneken over these complete bullcrap "evolutions".
-
I think all of them are unoriginal except Chespin.
A fire...fox...

Fire Foxes: vulpix,nintailes, maybe growlithe and arcanine
Water frogs: crogunk, toxicroak, palpitoad, seismitoad, and that one from gen 2, forgot it's name
Grass chipmunks: none! True!
-
I'd just like to point out that neither Croagunk nor Toxicroak are part water, and Growlithe/Arcanine are based on dogs.
-

I was thinking this.
"Water frog" is kind of a redundancy too considering frogs pretty much live in/around water.
-
Weirdly, Fennekin looks more like it should evolve into Ninetales than Vulpix does. Seeing the two of them next to each other is interesting, actually, it makes it clear to me that I prefer Vulpix to Fennekin in every way imaginable. Fennekin is all weird and pointy.
And until there are more fire foxes than electric rodents, they're still relatively original! =P
-
I'm choosing Chespin, I really liked it and fell in love with it.
Never understood people's love for fox pokemon and I think frogs have been done before... If I wanted a frog I'd go to Poliwag.
-
Hey lugia95,who knows?tepig didnt look like a fire/fighting until pignite was announced.but if they do,im gonna bomb game freak with a freakin AC-130.
-
I've decided that Froakie will be my starter but I also like Fennekin's design.
-

I'm surprised by that. I really like Chespin. Would be cool if he evolved into a grass fighting or maybe grass dark.

Guys guys guys
Confirmation Fennekin learns Psychic
Psychic/Fire looking more and more likely homg my two favourite types and a fox pokemon please please please
I AM EXCITED

I would hope it would be like the sinnoh trio where the water starter can still be used against the grass starter, and the grass starter can still be used against the fire starter, etc. Maybe a fire/psychic like you said, and then a water/fighting, and a grass/dark. By the way, are you a xXslyfoxhoundXx fan( judging by your name)?
-
As it stands, my favourite new starter is Chespin because teeth.

If you don't think Froakie is cute you are wrong.
-
Fennekin because it's a fiery fox but completely different from Vulpix in several ways. Plusle and Minun (as much as I like them) were basically a thinner Pikachu with Plus and Minus shaped tails and different colored ears.

Froakie is excellent. Hopefully they don't butcher the 3rd stage. Froakie is definitely my favorite by far but I think Fennekin has a greater potential to turn out decent in it's final stage of evolution. The problem with bipedal starters is that they rarely look good when fully evolved. Grovyle looked great but Sceptile looked too slow and bulky. I thought Serperior was good for this reason.
Also, speaking of Serperior...has anyone seen this screenshot? I'm sure I don't remember seeing this anywhere before..

Chespin's design is too familiar. There's nothing quite interesting about it.
Froakie is just ugly.
Fennekin is cute. It reminds me of beer.
-

It looks like dewott, but grass type

It looks like dewott, but grass type
It kinda looks like Dewott with Oshawott's face, The generic pikachu/emolga/pachirisu eyes, Piplup/oshawott's arms (and to some degree feet) and breloom's hat, but in the style of a hood or something instead :/
By far my least favorite evolution of all generations. Gen 5 ties for second least favorite starters... the rest? not so bad.
Chikorita's my favorite for nostalgia, and I nearly always pick it. I like running through the game as all johto starters tbh though. Fennekin is becoming a fast favorite - I hope it has good stats and is fire/psychic.
-
It looks like dewott, but grass type
Yep, just what I've been saying several pages ago.
Why should Fennekin be Fire/Psychic? To set up a piece of a second type-triangle? I don't see why it can't evolve into something unique like Fire/Poison. If Froakie turned out to be Water/Fighting, Poison would seal off Fighting attacks one way. A second type-triangle going in reverse seems fine, but I've heard Fire/Psychic is on everyone's hopes for Fennekin. Why is that typing so popular?
Water/Ice
Grass/Rock
Fire/Ground
This might not be a bad one, right? :tongue2:
-
It's a popular typing because Fire and Psychic individually are two of the most popular typings in Pokemon among fans and the typing hasn't been done yet (Zen Darmanitan just doesn't... doesn't count. What a horrible gimmick). Plus it just looks fitting, I think. *shrug*
-
Eh.. I'm kinda hoping for pure fire type. I don't really like fennekin or fire types all that much to begin with and I probably would like it even less if it became Fire/Psychic. Although I guess it's a decent typing, as proven by Victini, which I actually like as a Fire/Psychic type.

Completely forgot about Victini, to be entirely honest. Whoops. That actually makes me a little less excited about it possibly being Fire/Psychic. :<
-
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.
-
honestly, I still like fenniken
-
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.
-
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
-
froakie for sure because i'm tired of fire foxes and i dislike rodents.
-
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
-
Fennekin is my choice here.
SERIOUSLY, NO MORE FIRE/FIGHTING THOUGH.
Edit made by f3raligatr - No swearing kthx
-
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.
