Primarily I chose Snivy at first, but when I saw Oshawott in the Anime, I instantly fell in love with it, and chose it instead of Snivy. I normally choose the grass-type starters, but Oshawott took the cake. Besides, Samurott is freaking amazing in battle!

I chose Oshawatt. I dislike all three the starters, though, and I usually cylce them out of my team quickly. Their designs just miss something for me.

Well, I'm still on my first playthrough of Pokemon White, I chose Oshawott. I also chose Tepig in a speedrun of B2 (I need to replay B2 because I missed out on the story). But all in all, I dislike all of them. White is the first game that I didn't really use the starter, I found some better alternatives because Oshawott just kept fainting :P. My team at the moment is Darmantian, Beartic, Zebstrika, Samurott, Boldore and Unfezant. Darmantian being my lead Pokemon.

Although, if I had to choose, I'd choose Tepig :P

I ended up choosing Tepig as it appealed to me more. It was also the first fire type that I had chosen out of all the gens, too. Emboar helped out so much through Black.

I always choose Tepig because i like it a load. It is cute and I like every single one of his evolutions. Easily the best starter that has been ever made.

I picked for my starter Pokemon Oshawott its really cute and I loved its final evolution as well. It looked to cool to me.

I would say Snivy, the design looks really simple but it's look great and plus, green is my favorite color. 8)

I choose Snivy as my starter because I liked his design the best in the beginning of my White game. When my Snivy grew to a big strong Serperior, only then did I realize the actual in-combat benefits as well. Grass types are very strong and shouldn't be overlooked as a powerful tool in a trainer's arsenal! :)

I love all the starters, so this is gonna be difficult!

Stat wise I'm not impressed with them, movepool wise Emboar stands out among the two.

But I'll go with Oshawott as it's Water-type, my favorite type.

An obvious question that's asked time and time again - which is your favourite Unova starter and which one do you start the games with most often?
go with Snivy or Oshawott

yeah I'd go with Oshawott

I always choose Tepig because i like it a load. It is cute and I like every single one of his evolutions. Easily the best starter that has been ever made.

When I first saw them I knew I was picking Snivy in Black, but wanted to try something different in White 2 so I went with Oshawott. I prefer Snivy's first and second evolutions but for final forms I prefer Samurott I think, so I think Oshawott in future would be the main one I'd pick :)
