iirc, grass-type will have a harder time this time due to the typing of the gym leaders this time. But Serperior is just too cool to pass up!

Sabrewulf238 February 6th, 2011 11:19 AM

Pretty easy choice for me, I'm picking Oshawott. The best of the three starters.

I like Serperior much more than I like Snivy, so I'll probably pick Snivy in the third version.

Tepig doesn't really interest me. (Blaziken forever!)

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE February 6th, 2011 11:51 AM

I would like to have a go with Snivy and Oshawott - Snivy because he's awesome and Oshawott purely because his final design is the shizz :cool:

Kamitsure-chan February 6th, 2011 11:55 AM

Oshawott. Its overall evolution design is my favorite of the three, and it was the only starter that struck me as OMG MUST HAVE.

Guy February 6th, 2011 12:05 PM

I've planned to choose Oshawott for the longest while now and will probably get the other two starters from a trade for when I want to complete my PokéDex.

Miss Doronjo February 6th, 2011 12:09 PM

Either Oshawatt or Tepig; Oshawatt, cause well, he's pretty cool for a water type, and Tepig has its cool Nitro Charge! ...Then again, I also have a tradition of always picking the grass types at each pokemon run, so Snivy is also an option, but for the most part, Oshawatt or Tepig.

I like Tepig and Pignite's designs a lot, but I really don't like Emboar's design. I like Mijumaru, but if I were to pick it,
my choice would be based on Daikenki, whose design I adore. So for now, it's a toss-up, but I'll ultimately choose Tepig, come March, most likely.

Would it not make more sense to base your decision on the final form? It is the form you'll be seeing for the longest and what you'll be stuck with when all is said and done.

I might get Tepig in a trade but I'm starting with Oshawott and I don't honestly care about Snivy

Velvex the Øverlørd February 6th, 2011 1:58 PM

None of them are really appealing if you ask me, but I will probably choose Oshawott as I've always chosen the water starter, it would feel too weird not to choose it.

Quilava's Master February 6th, 2011 3:07 PM

Snivy cause I love Serperior's design. Far outranks the others

princesskittenface February 6th, 2011 7:26 PM

i think im going to pick the weird shell otter because i like the overall look of it the best

DarkNecroWolf February 7th, 2011 12:54 PM

Amigawd SNIVY!!!!!!!! I love Snivy so muuchh!! The reason being I have 2 lizards, and Snivy reminds me of them :3

pokefan41 February 7th, 2011 1:04 PM

Tepig. I enjoy fire pokemon a lot. I often will try to get one on my team fairly quickly.

Unknown# February 7th, 2011 1:04 PM

I think I'm going to choose Oshawatt becuase I really like the way Samurott looks. Also, with the exception of Diamond I've always chose the water-type starter anyways.

SwagginSkitty February 7th, 2011 1:27 PM

When i nuzlocke this, it's going to be Snivy all the way. Those defences and spped are too much to give up. But in a regular playthrough, there's nothing better than Oshawott's final evo. I do feel bad for Tepig, no one loves it </3

marcc5m February 7th, 2011 1:32 PM

Oshawott, because it's my favourite of the starters, it's evolutions as well as itself have a really great design, and because I'm really not too fond of Tepig's evolutions (Snivy's are meh). Originally it was going to be Snivy who I picked...but Oshawott grew on me. So yeah, I'm picking Oshawott.

amberfunk February 7th, 2011 1:38 PM

I'm going to choose snivy because I love all of its evolution line designs especially its final stage. It's awesome.

This. Grass type pokemon are one of my three favorite types.

TehPsychicTypeMaster February 7th, 2011 1:51 PM

I'm choosing Snivy hands down, because the evolutionary line looks the best of all the others.

blue February 7th, 2011 4:29 PM

I'm going with Oshawott, because although Snivy has the best first evo IMO, and Tepig being my favourite, I used Tepig in Japanese White and Oshawott has th best final evo IMO so choosing Oshawott, and that leaves me to choose Snivy in the third game when it comes out!

Shining Raichu February 7th, 2011 6:09 PM

Tepig the first time around, because it's a tradition of mine to always pick the Fire starter first, ever since my baby Charmander back in 1998.

ManhattanTheStarr February 7th, 2011 6:15 PM

Tepig. Weird, it was Oshawott that was the least liked when B/W were first announced... (,,/,, you, Samurott). ANYWAYS, I'll be picking Tepig because it's adorable, and has an adorable evolution (excluding Emboar >.>). The Fire/Fighting repetition doesn't really matter to me anymore. Besides, Fighting is my favorite type anyways. :B

Rawrinism February 7th, 2011 7:19 PM

I might not use a starter. Mainly because there are too much pokemon I want on my team this gen... :(
It's hard to limit down to 6 for me... ;(
I'm prob gonna choose Snivy though...

CriticalFlygon February 7th, 2011 7:44 PM

I'm choosing snivy because I think it has the best first and final evolutions plus this will my first grass starter so it'll be a nice change of pace.
