    I'll get all of them early on in the game via trading, but as for the ones that will be my "official" starters, I plan on using Oshawatt for my main game (whichever one that is) and Snivy for my other game. I've gone with the water starter on my main game in every generation, and I don't plan on breaking that tradition, plus, I just like the look of Oshawatt and its evolutions a lot. Snivy is my second-favorite starter (I really don't like the look of Tepig's final form), so that's who I'm going with for my second game.

    Interesting. Ever since Oshawott's final evolution was shown, Tepig's popularity has plummeted. xD I remember when people hated Oshawott 'cuz it was so "ugly". :P
    I know, tell me about it. I love Oshawott in the anime too. Now hopefully Ash actually evolves it. Judging from Oshawott's character in the anime I'm sure he will.

    Why doesnt anyone like Tepig? is it because its name sucks real bad? i've already played through all the starters. Osshawott's last ev is the best long run, but for battle's tepig's last evo IS A BEAST. SO TEPIG FTW
    Tepig just doesn't really appeal to me, but I'd definitely take Tepig over last gen chimchar.

  • Either Snivy or Oshawott, one of those two. Most likely Oshawott for Black and Snivy for White.

  • I'll be picking Oshawott; it's just really adorable!
    Also, I'm suprised that Oshawott has more votes that Tepig -I thought people loved the generic Fire-type stuff of being strong and stuff? :l

  • I suppose Oshawott, simply because his final form seems to look the coolest. Once the competitive play really kicks up I don't imagine any of them will be getting used.
