Even though I've already played through White with Oshawott, I'll still be picking him in my English version, just because I still favor him and his evolutions over the others, with Snivy in second place.

Probably Tepig and for these reasons.
1.I have a tradition of choosing the Fire Pokemon my first time through
2.Oshawott looks stupid(to me, no offence to people who like it)
3.I'd pick Snivy, but his evolutions turn me off.

Pretty easy choice for me, I'm picking Oshawott. The best of the three starters.

I like Serperior much more than I like Snivy, so I'll probably pick Snivy in the third version.

Tepig doesn't really interest me. (Blaziken forever!)

Oshawott. Its overall evolution design is my favorite of the three, and it was the only starter that struck me as OMG MUST HAVE.

I've planned to choose Oshawott for the longest while now and will probably get the other two starters from a trade for when I want to complete my PokéDex.

Either Oshawatt or Tepig; Oshawatt, cause well, he's pretty cool for a water type, and Tepig has its cool Nitro Charge! ...Then again, I also have a tradition of always picking the grass types at each pokemon run, so Snivy is also an option, but for the most part, Oshawatt or Tepig.

I like Tepig and Pignite's designs a lot, but I really don't like Emboar's design. I like Mijumaru, but if I were to pick it,
my choice would be based on Daikenki, whose design I adore. So for now, it's a toss-up, but I'll ultimately choose Tepig, come March, most likely.

Would it not make more sense to base your decision on the final form? It is the form you'll be seeing for the longest and what you'll be stuck with when all is said and done.

None of them are really appealing if you ask me, but I will probably choose Oshawott as I've always chosen the water starter, it would feel too weird not to choose it.

Tepig. I enjoy fire pokemon a lot. I often will try to get one on my team fairly quickly.

I think I'm going to choose Oshawatt becuase I really like the way Samurott looks. Also, with the exception of Diamond I've always chose the water-type starter anyways.
