Watch the video, then tell me which one you'll most likely pick.

Im going to follow my tradition of starting with a grass type and go with Chespin. But I also really want Fennekin too.

I'm getting Froakie for sure.
Ever since the 1st gen I've always picked the water starter ^^

I've always liked more the grass type, so Chespin would be my choice.

I hardly have any feelings for any of them... But I s'pose Froakie will have to do...

I want that Magikarp, but since we can't start with him, I'd take Fennekin. :p

I'd pick Fennekin or Chespin. I always hate the Water-type starter, except for Mudkip. But I also hate Swampert, so I never really choose him. I like the idea behind Fennekin (A Lynx), so I might choose her, but I may stick with my traditional grass-type starter.

I'm choosing Fennekin, all the way. His design is based off of a fennec fox, and having spent time around a fennec fox whilst volunteering at a local animal shelter has made me particularly fond of them :)

Fennekin! I always pick the grass starter but i cant resist the cute awesomeness that is Fennekin

The only reason I'm choosing Froakie as water types being chosen to me is a long standing tradition:

Red: Squirtle
Gold: Totodile
Emerald: Mudkip
Diamond: Piplup
Platinum: Piplup
SoulSilver: Totodile, Squirtle and Mudkip.
White: Oshawott
Black 2: Oshawott
White 2: ... Oshawott again maybe?
Y: Froakie

I like Fennekin the most, it's just tooooo cute!!! <3 (I know everyone's choosing him but hey I rarely choose fire starters and Fennekin just looks well done for a pokemon design)
I wish I can fast forward to October right now!! I'm very excited about this!!! :DDDDD

Fennekin for me most likely as i have almost always picked the fire starter apart from Tepig. I don't particularly like the other two. So unless we get info on the gyms before the games come out showing that a Fire starter would be a huge disadvantage Fennekin is my pick!!

With the Rock and Water gyms in Kanto I still used Charmander once or twice, I don't see that as a deal-breaker

I'm usually a water starter lover. Then again, Chimchar won me over in Platinum and this time I've fallen for the grass starter. *Raises poke ball*

Fennekin is the only decent looking one.

BUT WATCH IT EVOLVE INTO SOMETHING UGLY UGGHH /sobs

My personal preference at the moment is Froakie. I will have to wait and see the final evolutions though as I'll be spending more time with them in that form than any other.

Same... I like Fennekin but I have a bad feeling that it's final evolution will be butchered like Tepig was. I feel like I'll like Chespin's final evo better, being that I never like the four-legged starters' final evos.

Not reallty... Every region has a humanoid starter and when they're that small, designs are hard to vary

01-12-2013, 01:01 AM
Yeah I guess, but I still think that their types will be :
Fennekin- fire/psychic
Chespin- grass/flying
Froakie- water/ice

TerraForming
01-12-2013, 02:17 AM
I'd have to pick Chespin, but since the grass starters are always really weak, excluding Bulbusaur, which was the only first evolution of a starter to be a double type (Fun Fact) I might pick Fennekin, then again, I'm not choosing till their evolutions are shown. I'm definitely getting Y tho, Yveltal looks awesome, Xerneas is meh

TheManyFacesOfGlalie
01-12-2013, 02:23 AM
Yeah I guess, but I still think that their types will be :
Fennekin- fire/psychic
Chespin- grass/flying
Froakie- water/ice

That'd be interesting... But judging from appearance alone, I'd say Fennekin will remain Fire, Chespin will remain grass, and Froakie will become Water/Poison or Water/Ground (Like most frog Pokemon). The pre-release pics of Fennekin using extrasensory (I'm assuming that's what it is, being that it is a weak-looking attack and is used by a pure fire-type) don't mean it's a psychic type. Maybe dark, actually... huh. Anyways, Gorebyss learns Psychic by level-up so Fennekin may not be psychic.

Chespin is growing on me. I check Serebii everyday and look at the pics xD I will probably stick to my traditional grass-type choice then. It's usually the eyes of grass-types that make the design more appealling O.o

As long as the Fennekin doesnt turn into a fire/fighting type I think I would choose it. :P I have chosen a fire type with gen 1-4 but finally broke the mold with Oshawott in Gen 5. I think it would be interesting to see a fire/steel type combination. I cant think of a pokemon with that combination offhand. Maybe I'm missing something though haha.

Heatran? But thats the only one i can think of.
Another one would be cool, maybe a pokemon that came to life from the embers of a furnace but battle wise it would have a 4X weakness to ground. Thats pretty hard to combat with nearly every team having at least one pokemon with earthquake.

Im getting Chespin for sure. No matter what others say! Just look at it. Isn't it awesome? Im definitely choosing Chespin, I love it the same way you guys love Fennekin and/or Froakie... but meh, in the end its my choice :o

Yep... i knew i was missing one haha. Thats a good point about the weakness, although I feel like in previous generations they have been pretty good about introducing/fixing strategies.

And one more idea along that line haha... possibly if they made a quicker fire/steel type along with an interesting moveset via leveling up, breeding, or even chain-breeding it might have a little more success in battles.

True and in game that might be ok but for random matchup etc it would need to be able to hit hard and fast. And i guess you could get past the ground weakness with Magnet Rise or Air Balloon it could be pretty good with a huge no of resistances.

my average starter that I choose is a water type starter but in gen 3 and 4 my starter is grass and from the looks of it I will be going with a grass starter to even the score or for the first time ever for me i'll choose a fire starter and BTW a fire/steel type has three type weaknesses water, fighting and ground and since the most type weaknesses a pokemon has had is seven thats almost halve the max weakness a pokemon can have so a fire/steel pokemon aint that awesome
P.S. can you figure out which pokemon have seven weaknesses heres a clue ones a legendary

Those three weaknesses are offset by the large number of resistances provided by the steel type though. I think that was feazko's original point.

I feel like the poison type is severely misrepresented. not nearly enough use i feel like... if a starter would develop that type i hope it would be froakie... that seems plausible.

I always had been a water type user. But froakie looks lame, gotta go with chespin.

One of my speculations is that in the trailer Chespin uses a dark move, Fennekin uses a psychic move and Froakie uses a fighting move. So that means that Chespin could be Grass/Dark, Fennekin could be Fire/Psychic and Froakie could be Water/Fighting.
I mean if this is true then I will be happy. I'm getting both X and Y so I'll be getting Fennekin on X and Froakie on Y.
(I'm sorry Chespin :[)

EllaJaneBinks
02-03-2013, 01:37 AM
Fennekin is sweet :) Finally a starter that looks like Flareon (IMO) Hopefully this means it'll be super strong! Flareon was a big let down for me, it's highest stat is attack, but it hardly learns any physical moves! Pooey >.> Go Fennekin!

I really hope they evolve it those types it would be amazing and I have rethought who I might choose it seams everyone is going to get a fennekin so I will get Chespin and go on the GTS (or whatever they call it in this game) and get one from there I think smart :)

Thinking about it, it's better to take the least liked starter. In the end, you'll have a Pokemon that almost everyone else needs to finish their Pokedex XD

Don't forget if you get both X and Y you can transfer 2 of the starters to one game and play with all 3 so you my not have to chose.
