    I chose Oshawott, because his final evolution does not look like crap. I find the starters underwhelming in their design.

  • I picked Oshawott but I was definitely going to consider Tepig too. I ike Oshawott's future eolutions but Tepig's evos I don't really like.

  • I chose Snivy. Because I thought Oshawott and Tepig (and their evolutions) looked too cute.. Thats cool also ! Don't say that it's a bad thing ! But i allways cary my starter with me. And then I prefer a tough looking Pokemon, like Snivy !

    Sorry if my English isn't great!

    I chose oshawott.

    I was originally going to get snivy, but I've always gotten grass starters since red version till now. I thought it was about time I changed it up and I really dislike tepig. So oshawott it is.

    and I named it OshyWoshy <3 that way it'll always be my baby starter even when it evolves into its bamf final evolution :)

  • [S-HIGHLIGHT]Unpopular Oshawott is now popular![/S-HIGHLIGHT] Who would have thought. I'll be choosing it for the third version, Ash's Oshawott made me like the Pokemon even more.

    LOL..yeah..I'm still picking Tepig, but the Pokemon anime made Ash's Wotter look disturbingly cute and BA at the same time. I think that gave it a major push for starting pick in the games; I'm still a bit surprised that Tepig is quite behind Wotter and Snivy. Also, Wotter's Woobie status was enhanced with this heartwarming picture on DeviantArt, so that improved its status as well, IMO.

    I picked....Mijumaru (I'm NOT calling it by that other name) and will name him Wotter as soon as I can :)

    Poor Pokabu never gets any love I guess.

    Agreed with the parts on Wotter and Tepig.

    and I named it OshyWoshy <3

    LOL...that's part of the reason I dislike the name Oshawott...a bit too cutesy/strange. >.<

    Tepig, but only because I already had the other two in the Japanese game I imported back in October. =P

    I named the Tepig, "Teh Pig" for the lulz...

    Tepig, because I took Snivy in my Japanese version, and I don't like Oshawott.

    I picked Snivy initially because when I saw it in the Japanese version, I loved it. But then when I got my English copy I got Oshawott for battling purposes.

    I picked Tepig, I've always liked fire starters. Hoping on trading with my friend to get a Snivy as well.

    In 3rd gen I chose the water type Mudkip, in 4th gen I chose the fire type Chimchar, so naturally I decided to choose the grass type Snivy for this generation. I've had my eye on it ever since the photos first appeared on Serebii.
