Starter Pokémon

[Syutsu]

Is it just me, or does Chespin look like a re-textured Oshawott/Dewott?

[HeidiMoose]

I really love Chespin and Fennekin. Froakie is already starting to grow on me but it's my least favorite.

I think Chespin is going to be my first pick when the games come out.

[Latios Master]

My favorite starter is the Fire-type, Fennekin. I really like it's design, and I like foxes. It's like a mix of Vulpix and Zorua. It's the first time that the Fire starter is my favorite since Charmander in Gen 1. I think the Water-type frog is just ok looking, but I do like it. However, I don't like the Grass-type. I think it looks boring, and looks like a Pokémon that would be catchable early in the game, like Patrat, ect. Fennekin might be my favorite Fire-type starter of any generation.

[SoulSilver10112]

I actually like them all a lot, but I'm going to use Fennekin for my first walkthrough. On my other game, Froakie, who I think is quite adorable. I'll trade for a Chespin as well, just so I can have all three.

[Kyris]

I'm sure this has been said, but.
Fire/psychic, grass/fighting, water/dark. Who's with me? I mean, fennekin is almost guaranteed to be Fire/Psychic, and there's a LOT of people saying chespin will be grass/fighting. So, if we get a water/dark as well, they keep all their typed advances over each other in both main and secondary typing, it would also be pretty interesting to see a water/dark pokemon.

I'll wait to choose until I get to see their final evolutions.

Uhh... Sharpedo?

In all seriousness, knowing I'd be tempted by the fire starter, I do hope it won't evolve into a Fire/Fighting type yet again.

[Utzipher]

I'm still indifferent about which starter to choose - maybe Froakie or Fennekin. I'll wait to see Froakie's final evolution before I make a decision on who to choose. The water type is my preferred choice.

I love the designs of them, but they're really starting to resemble Neopets.

If Fennekin turns out to be a Fire/Psychic, I will love GameFreak forever

BTW I love how the little fire fox thing looks. Froakie is meh..only time where I don't really care for the water starter..and Chespin looks okay.

[Dr. Slavic]

I love Froakie, he looks like a little conductor or something with his wig and glasses and gloves.

I bet you more than anything that...

Chespin ends up being Grass/Ground

Fennekin ends up as Fire/Psychic (uses psychic attack in teaser?)

Froakie ends up as Water/Flying (because of the cloud-like features on the body; similar to Altaria)

Why Grass/Ground for Chespin? The trailer made it look like it was using Night Slash on the Golurk, making it seem as if its going to be a Grass/Dark type (Shiftry, anyone?). And yeah I can see it being Psychic in the trailer...it could be some other new move though, we never know. It's just Fire/Psychic seems a bit OP, so for starter Pokemon I doubt they'll do that.

If Froakie is a Water/Flying, I'll probably never choose it lol.

[latioslegends]

Got to say, this roster of starters appeals more than last generations; but that's just my opinion.

I would have to choose Fennekin. The design is awesome and it appears to have ended the fire/fighting trend for the last three generations.

[dd818]

if chesspin turns into a chess piece (unlikely cause of pawniard line) ill pick him but otherwise fennikin all the way!

I can see Chespin being Grass/Dark now that you have pointed that out.

I just really hope the final evolutions look as good as these pre-evolution forms.

[PlatinumDude]

In terms of design, Fennekin has the best one, with Chespin following close. I like Froakie simply because it's the Water starter.

[GolurkIsDaBomb]

I actually love them all. Chespin is adorable, even though it has a strange reptile tail, and fennekin looks like a smug little fire zorua. And Froakie, who I thought was really weird at first actually seems kind of awesome. It looks adorable imo!

[Yuoaman]

I'm starting to actually like Froakie after the initial shock wore off, jeez.

[Eeveon]

Fennekin. I need Fennekin in my life as soon as possible. I love it so much. ;w; I completely forgot about Vulpix, Ninetales, and Flareon being Fire-type foxes during my initial freak out but shhhh don't tell anyone. >__>

I really like Chespin too, and Froakie... Well, I don't like to hate any Pokémon because I think they're all cool and unique, and Froakie is pretty neat, but I don't necessarily care for it. ._____.

Sharpedo line, and crawdaunt are the only water/dark pokemon, while its not exactly the least common typing its not exactly common place either.

[Brendino]

I don't know, I'm not a big fan of Froakie, so that combined with the fact I've been using a lot of Water starters lately means I probably won't pick it. While I do like Fennekin, a Fire-type fox reminds me of Vulpix/Ninetales right away. So based on all that, I'll probably take Chespin as my starter (but their evolutions may change my mind).

[Mama-Mamo]

I'd like to see how they all evolve but I can live with these designs. (:

Like most everyone here, Fennekin is my favorite.

I'm curious to see if they become dual type when they evolve and what their stat spread will be.

[PekoponTAS]

Oh man, I actually really like all three of them. I honestly don't know which one I'd choose since I think they're all great. It's my favourite set of starters since Kanto and Johto. For me it's a tough choice between Froakie and Fennekin. Chespin is my least favourite, but I still like him a lot.

I'll have to wait and see what the evolved forms are like before deciding.

[Icebloom]

All the base designs are usually quite good, these being no exception, but I'm still a bit wary of what their final form will look like.

[Yuki's Sword]

...The fire and grass ones are so cute! Although they remind me of other Pokemon. I feel like Nintendo is running out of ideas.
