6th Gen Starter Pokémon

I definitely feel like these are my favorite trio of starters since the Hoenn starters, and they've always been my favourites..

If it weren't for Froakier it'll be the same for me...Fennekin is my favorite fire starter since Torchic, and Chespin is equal to Treeko, and Snivy...actually I like all the grass staters...

Grass has always been one of the best starters, and I already know I wanna choose Chespin. I just wonder what the gym order will be....
Grass usually works as the 'easiest' choice, as it tends to be able to take down most early gyms (Traditional since gen I)
I like fennekin, but I don't think I like it as much as cyndaquil....
and Froakie...doesn't seem like a good water choice, not my favorite by far.

Fennekins design is just, brilliant! There really isn't enough fox Pokemon, but this one is a charm!

Chespin is cute and jolly, just looking at it makes me smile! It is so lovable and... well, one of the best Grass type Pokemon I've seen! (Bayleef and Virizion take the biscuit!)

Froakie, uh... hmm, weird, freaky. I just can't... appreciate it's design. Its like they got effortless at the end, but maybe its second evolution will be a success?

But in the end, Fennekin is just the best!

In terms of type combinations for the starters here's what I'm hoping for: Fennekin - Fire/Psychic, Chespin - Grass/Dark, Froakie - Water/Ice. I'm not sure what the rumors are since I've tried my best to avoid checking for spoiler reasons but I'd be happy with those.

Poor Froakie doesn't get much love, personally I like him the most out of all the new starters. I kinda understand what features of its design might be unappealing and make him less "cute", its yellow eyes and white hands for example. Even so I think that most of Froakie appeal is suppose to come from his personality, like we saw in the anime he seems to fight in this cliche serious ninja style which is suppose to contrast with the fact that he's a tiny frog.

About the rumor around fenekin type, I think it can be psychic/fire or Fairy/fire.

After read the fennec symbolism which speaking about kindness emotion etc.. we can see a link with pokemon like flabébé/gardevoir etc..

I kinda don't want Froakie to become Water/Flying, since I want to use Talonflame in my team. I want it to become Water/Fighting. Water/Ice would be okay, since that would allow me to put Pangoro in my team.

I'm going to pick Chespin! (: I normally don't pick the grass type, but he's just too cute~

Chespin looks cool, he seems like that quirky little derp that wants to be your friend.

So I guess I am going with Chespin.

froakie is just so cool also

Even though there's a Torchic event once the games are out, I'm still sticking with Fennekin through and through.

I just pray it's Fire/Psychic. Or Fire/Fairy either combination is cool with me.

Favouring Fennekin to the extreme in the hope that'll evolve into a White Spirit Fox as a Psychic/Ghost-type. But that hope will probably slap me in the face.

Definitely Froakie. I'm hoping he evolves into Water/Fighting. Chespin is okay, too.

Well I do admit that's an interesting typing, but Fennekin's line will mostly be part-Fire since each starter retains their Grass, Fire or Water type throughout its evolution line, but some evolutions can give the starter a second type. The fact Fennekin has been confirmed to learn both Psychic and Psybeam has certainly made me know it will probably become part-Psychic when it evolves.

The fire/psychic typing will make Fennekin a beast. It also has my favorite design of the three. Chespin is okay as well, however Froakie is pretty awful. Mudkip was the last decent looking water starter, in my opinion that is.

Ghost/Psychic or Fire/Psychic doesn't really matter to me. As long it's going in one of these two type's direction. If it's going to be a Pure Fire-type or Fire/Normal that'll dissapoint me, then it will be no different than Ninetails.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but it looks to me like the third line on Fennekin's forehead is a closed third eye, further enforcing the fire/psychic typing. Froakie does look like he'll be water/fighting because of the ninja throwing bubbles, so will that leave Chespin as a grass/dark?
If this is the case, then each starter will have a typing advantage and disadvantage against the other two.

I'd rather have its evolutions be pure Fire than Fire/Fighting.

As of now right, I like Froakie the most because he is a Frog and a Water type.
