    No matter how many times I restart Black, White, or Black 2, my starter Pokemon is always Oshawott. I like the base form of all three Unova starters, but Samurott is the final form I like the most and find the most useful.

  • i chose Snivy! but seriously, i chose it for no other reason than i have a kind of weird obsession with ALWAYS choosing the grass-type starter pokémon with EVERY generation,

    Red, Yellow, Leafgreen -bulbasaur
    Gold,Silver,Crystal - Chikorita
    Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald -Treecko
    Diamond, Platinum -turtwig
    Soulsilver- Chikorita
    White, Black 2 - Snivy
    Y - Chespin

    does anyone else do this? :)

  • For BW and BW2 I chose Snivy. I usually choose the fire type as a starter (like quite a few people), but I really didn't like the design of Emboar at the time. This was before I really cared about stats and moves though.

  • I'm a bit stat geeky when choosing starters, but I choose Oshawott for it's mixed ability and my fond of otters, too. By 2nd, Snivy. Last, Tepig. It's happening in both BW and B2W2.

  • I choose Oshawott in White and I loved it. Great moveset, and there's not too many good water Pokémon in Unova. When I got White 2 I decided I would switch it up and got Tepig, but I was very disappointed and ended up boxing it for most of the game.

  • I chose Snivy in both Black and Black 2; ever since I saw the new starters I knew that he was my favorite. And I think his evolutionary line is very cool. I like Tepig very well too, but I'm not a big fan of his evolutionary line.

  • I don't like the first evolution sprites for Snivy or Oshawott, so I chose Tepig in Pokemon Black. Not a big fan of Fire starters (twisted fire starters.. Yeaaaaah) turning into Fire-Fight(ers) (See what Game Freak did there?), but Emboar is a really strong slab of bacon when used correctly.

    For the used Black 2 I purchased, I restarted the game and chose Snivy. I reset until I got a Nature I thought would be good (Modest), but then it seems that Snivy+ all want to use physical attacks... FML. He still does alright for himself. Running - Leaf Tornado/Return/Bind/Leech Seed at the moment; holding Leftovers.

  • I chose Snivy in my first BW playthrough and Tepig in BW2. Oshawott's probably the best in-game, though (unfortunately, it is also the ugliest imo).

  • I chose Oshawat in Black and Tepig in White. But I picked Snivy when I replayed Pokemon Black Version!

    I picked Oshawott in Pokemon White. I picked Oshawott because Samurott has good base attack and special attack.

    When I first played White I choose Oshawott, and on Black I used Snivy. Then I restarted Black and used Tepig, and on White 2 I used Oshawott. I restarted Black again and chose Snivy, and I chose Oshawott on Black 2.

    Sooooo, a lot of Oshawott's. Haha. :D

    I'm normally the one who chooses Grass a lot, but for the first time, in Black, I chose the fire Pokemon Tepig. I'm not too sure why I chose it in the first place, something about it appealed to me. Roast pork perhaps? Now I'm spouting gibberish. XD
