    • I'll be honest, I'm not crazy about the starters.

    I don't like that the grass starter (Chespin) is primarily brown rather than green (I know there's no "rule", just a personal preference). And I thought the water one (Froakie) just looked plain silly at first. I think the fire one (Fennekin) looks all right, actually, but I went with Tepig in Gen 5 and like to start with a different type each gen. In general I just think they look a taaaaaaad stilly- I'm sure I'll feel differently once I see their final evos though :)

    Also I'd like to say I think their names are atrocious.

    • Haha guys. What if Froakie's last evolution is 100x times cutter or better than himself? Anyways: I like them all! Chespin looks already excited to start an adventure, Froakie looks like he has a great speed stat and Fennekin is adorable! I'm going with Fennekin right now. Fennekin looks like a male version of Vulpix.

    Agreed. I can't wait to see how they're going to have it evolve into a Fire/Fighting type.

    The water frog doesn't seem as bad to me now as when I first saw it. Have I really gotten used to it that quickly? It took like a year with Oshawott.

    The starters do look a bit silly but i'm going going with tradition and picking the fire-type.

    • Well we already have a fire fox.. and that's vulpix.. but ninetales is based on a legend. Fennikin is based on a Fennick (sp?) Fox .. basically a fox with large ears.

    I do like it's torpedo-like nose. Maybe they'll do something with that.

    • Why does nobody like Froakie, he's quirky and adorable looking AND HAS FINGERS!
    Seriously how many times has a start pokemon had legitimate fingers and not just stubs that have lines or claws drawn onto them.
    Fennekin is cool and all, but I prefer Vulpix as a firefox.

    GUYS LOOK AT THE GRASS STARTER'S FEET AHHHH. What Pokémon family do they remind you of? None other than Sandslash! This has now convinced me to use Chepsin. :D I'm just really hoping the final evolutions are interesting or these starters will be a huge let-down. Every time I look at them I'm starting to love them more and more, even Froakie(!), but I just can't imagine a third evolution for either Fenniken or Froakie looking too good. Only time will tell though c:

    • Actually Fennekin is just Vulpix, the grandeur is gone. Ninetales should have been Fire/Psychic anyway if that's what this ends up being. It's still cool though!

    What are you talking about? Fennekin is definitely a fire type Zorua :P

    I'll definitely be picking Fennekin as my starter.




    Is it just me or does Chespin look like a few pokemon merged together?

    I really love all the starters it's a hard decision for me u_u;;

    But so far I'm definitely leaning on Fennekin!! It's so cute and I've always wanted a Fire-type like that cx Chespin is my second option so far cause I'm not too crazy about the frog... but I want to see their final evos and stats before I decide.    ​

    • I think Chespin looks like Oshawott. But Fennekin is one cute fox. And Froakie is the first frog starter! So I picked them all!

    • Poor Froakie, such an ugly little Pokemon. And Fennekin's evolved form better not end up being a Ninetales rip-off.

    Chespin gets my vote. Looks like I'll be going with the Grass-type starter for the first time since forever.

    • At least it seems as the trend of Fire/Fighting combo for the starters is finally over... But who knows what they'll do. I did not think it of Tepig either but then I (we?) got disappointed :D

    I just keep my fingers crossed for a pure Fire-Type Evolution this time...
    Other than that: I also like Chespin but the frog looks just way too creepy^^
