They said we get to pick so it won't be like we get the one that's weak against our starter like with the Monkey's.
@ Xander Well as you've said many times Gf are breaking with tradition, this could just be another example of it.
Yes, but this is a minor thing that has been an end game achievement to completing a regional pokedex. If you get them early then they are saying there's no point to completing the pokedex. We also get to transfer at any time now thanks to the app so we'd be able to pull our Kanto Starters from Gen 5 games anyway.
I just do not see this being before the end game. Don't have to agree with me, but my track record right now is pretty high with guessing what's going on in X and Y. This doesn't give me any authority, but this is just how I feel about it and so far everything I've had a strong feeling about has been accurate.
I was the only one supporting GTS/Online Transfer Method which is exactly what we got. I'm going to gloat about it for once because that was a 1 in a million chance of getting right. Doesn't mean I'll be right about everything, but since my gut feelings have all been correct so far, I have to follow what's been right so far.
So, I feel that we won't get them at the beginning of the game. Simply because its how I feel. There's nothing official that states when we get them only how we get them and how we get them is pretty much the same as how we always got them in the older games. The regional Professor gives them to us "Later".
Well if you look at the professors bio on the official website
Professor Sycamore is the top Pokémon researcher in the Kalos region. He entrusts you and your friends with Pokémon and sends you out on your big adventure!
So from the language it seems like we get them at the beginning
Those Pokemon would be Froakie, Fennekin, and Chespin. How do you think Trevor would have gotten his hands on them? XD He got them from the professor with the Pokedexes to hand out to his friends and you the MC. That statement has been there since he was first revealed and its well known that the Professor supplies the region with its starters.
