A female Tepig. Evolve it once, then keep it that way. Breed fom there.

Will trade for the other two options.

The Fire-Fighting dual typing seems great from what I can tell by my browsing since Japanese release. Having yet to buy/play, seems simple enough to make up for any short comings of Pignite by using zebra/deer/geo2'd.

Without hesitation, I'll pick Snivy, because he's smarter and more beautiful than the two others. That's what I think. xD
And all his evolutions are pretty cool.
Also, it will change for me, I rarely took grass type starter.

Porygon Z February 11th, 2011 5:16 AM

I'm getting only one game for now, and I'll get Tepig.

Vindra February 11th, 2011 11:38 AM

I'll choose Snivy, without a doubt. He looks so cool and smug, and his final evolution is beautiful and elegant. I am a sucker for grass Pokemon.

Rai February 11th, 2011 12:14 PM

My favorite is Snivy, but I am going to pick Oshawott because I REALLY want to have Deerling/Sawsbuck on my team.

Palamon February 11th, 2011 12:16 PM

Oshawott in White. Snivy in black.
But mostly Oshawott because I love Dewott so much!

PiPVoda February 19th, 2011 1:30 PM

Water lover, so Oshawott! ;) I'm surprised it's the second most popular. I remember before we found out about their evos and all Oshawott was the least popular (judging by polls). Now it has 33 votes only behind Snivy (which is my second favorite)!

ArcanineLink February 19th, 2011 5:46 PM

I am going to choose Oshawott. The last evolution Samurott looks awesome!. I think Tepigs last evolution looks ridiculous but thats just my opinion. Also the Fire/Fighting type combo i have never liked and im suprised that this combo has came into this game for a starter as it has been in the previous 2 gens. Maybe something like Fire/Dark would have been more interesting?. Anyways Snivy looks cool and he would be my second choice but Oshawott is my first choice :)

Thomas February 19th, 2011 5:49 PM

For some strange reason, I am ALWAYS drawn to the Water starter. I always like them the best. Wartortle is still one of my favorite Pokemon to date, and so is Totodile. :)

Pkmn Trainer Touko February 19th, 2011 5:53 PM

I might use all three starters; or Pokabu since I haven't done a playthrough with it yet, or Tsutarja since it's my favourite of the three.

Spikey-Eared Pichu February 19th, 2011 5:56 PM

Snivy <3

How could you not choose him?

Water lovers unite! :laugh:
Though I need to go look up Oshawott's moves and compare its stats. Something I still haven't done. Regardless it's my number one pick by far.

Because I want Oshawott. I just noticed its name is so cute.

Hawkfire-the-cat February 19th, 2011 6:19 PM

Suprisingly, I like ALL of the starters and their final forms, but I prefer Snivy. I'm not going to use it on my good copy of the game though, because its base stats are really poor. Soo....

White-Oshawott
Black-Tepig
Rom-Snivy (already done)

skyluigi2 February 20th, 2011 9:08 AM

It's close between Tepig and Oshawott, with Oshawott winning. Mostly because I already have a fire type planned for my team, and I hate to double up types.

Zeph. February 20th, 2011 1:48 PM

It's got to be Tepig :D

I mean, it's evolved form looks like it could be a Beast Ganon xD

Changing my mind and answer. I've decided I'll be choosing Oshawott/Mijumaru instead.

PiPVoda February 20th, 2011 5:03 PM

Oshawott, victory again! It's becoming more popular day by day, well at least to me.

Chadlington February 21st, 2011 8:14 AM

Im going with Snivy, But I plan to try and have an all dark team. Hopefully I can teach it some dark type moves!! It will be sick as!

Sully February 21st, 2011 10:15 AM

I'm feeling Oshawatt. I might try one of the others, but right now I'm going with him (:


.Wolfie-kun. February 21st, 2011 12:25 PM

Won't ultimately decide till the day I get it, but I'm highly considering Snivy as he reminds me of Treecko, which was my second favourite Hoenn starter.

The fire type starter this time round has really let me down, Charmander, Cyndaquil and Torchic all had awesome looking evolution lines, Chimchar was tolerable to say the least. But this time, I think I'll just collect this one via trade when I'm collecting all 3.

Perriechu February 21st, 2011 12:43 PM

C-C-C-Combo breaker

I've changed my mind yet again... u_u

I love all 3 starters and had a hard time deciding :c but Tepig is going to be the one for me <3 Look at the little piggeh D;

비스트 February 21st, 2011 4:09 PM

Oshawott because I've always chosen water types for the starters because
they're a bit difficult to catch

amd February 21st, 2011 4:20 PM

I chose the grass type on my brief Japanese playthrough, probably going to choose the fire pig this time. :P

Blaziken15 February 21st, 2011 4:21 PM

I will pick Snivy for Black and Oshawott for White. I lost intrest in the fire types in Gen IV and V because they are both Fire/Fighting and I feel they are just copying Blaziken. And copying Blaziken is not cool in my book.

VarimathraS February 21st, 2011 4:46 PM

I will choose Oshawott, cuz he's 3rd evoulution is epic.
