    • I will probably choose Treecko as my starter, but then trade in a Torchic as well. I like Blaziken and Sceptile a lot so why not?

    I wonder if I could transfert eggs via pokebank to ORAS, this way I could get a starter with good IV and ability that will be hatched in Hoenn instead of being from Kalos.

    • In Gen III as a kid, I'd usually choose Torchic and beat the game using only it. I'm choosing Mudkip this time, and spent months breeding a shiny to use. Giant pink beefcake. Yes.

    I'm excited for whatever changes they might have made to the game- and it would cool if I'd be able to make a more varied team than usual.

    Unless they update Pokebank I doubt it, we can't put eggs on it right now which is a pain... If they do update it I have a Buneary egg, which should have some decent egg moves, which I'd like to move over for Mega Lopunny...

    I'll be using Mudkip in Omega Ruby, just like in my first time playing Ruby and then Treeko in Alpha Sapphire, which my brother used in Sapphire- unfortunately he doesn't play Pokemon anymore so I'm getting OR and AS. I might breed a Torchic just to get its line registered in my OR Pokedex.

    I almost always pick Torchic when playing Hoenn because it is my favorite starter of all time! However since I have already used it's mega evolution I will be going with Mudkip. I am super excited about Mega Swampert and can't wait to use it!

    • Treecko obviously. Because Grass/Dragon?! Just yes. Plus the first time I played the original I chose Mudkip.

    • I was planning on picking Treecko from the start because I did so in the original Sapphire and Sceptile is one of my favorites, but now that Mega Sceptile is Dragon/Grass I can't resist. <3 Next time I play through ORAS I'm going with Mudkip since I haven't chosen it before.

    Well, it depends on what version you're getting. If you're getting Omega Ruby, I'd say Mudkip, because Mudkip's line will just blast through Team Magma, and Treecko's line would just blast through team Aqua on Alpha Sapphire. It also depends on your other team members, as if you are already planning on using a Grass type like Bellossom, then you don't really need another grass type that specializes in Special Attack. And of course, it doesn't make sense to have a Gyarados and Swampert on the same team, as they are both physical Water types. As for me, I'm picking Torchic, as I almost always pick the Fire starter in my first run through a game.

    • I want to choose Mudkip but Mega Swampert doesn't have any special qualities and I'm honestly playing this game for the stones so Mega Sceptile is more valuable. Treecko is my choice. Altaria and Lopunny ftw.

    • Torchic <3

    It was my starter on Gen3... So many memories... I'll have to find my Pokemon Ruby cartridge. My Pokemon Blue still works with my 5 badges and a level 51 Charizard :D

    I'd say Mudkip is the best choice. It becoming an unbeatable Ground/Water type. I believe that Mega Swampert is going to be a tank.

    I'm skipping out on Treeko because it has too many weaknesses. It sometimes makes it up with speed. Sceptile's Mega evolution doesn't excite me with it being a Dragon/Grass Type. One Ice Beam and GG.

    I'm skipping out on Torchic because of my painful memories in Ruby with Roxanne and Broly. Some would go with Torchic, with Blaziken's Mega Evolution being an Ubers Pokemon, but I don't see it as that strong. one Earthquake. BraveBird? GG

    I see what you're saying, but I don't see why those weaknesses should deter you from using the other starters. You won't keep Blaziken in on something that knows EQ, especially since ingame the ones that use it are often Ground- or Rock-types, where Blaziken could just use its own Earthquake to take them out. Swampert has a 4x weakness to Grass, which isn't that uncommon of a type?
