What starter did you choose?
 
I loved the Unova starters, they all have good designs - but which one eventually became your partner?

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/8/88/Juniper_Snivy.png/250px-Juniper_Snivy.png
Snivy, the Grass-type snake Pokemon?
Snivy is very defensive based and has good Speed, but low offensive stats and HP.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/6/6f/Ash_Tepig.png/250px-Ash_Tepig.png
Tepig, the Fire-type pig Pokemon?
Tepig is more offensive based and has good HP, but slightly lower defensive stats and Speed.

http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/thumb/8/88/Ash_Oshawott.png/250px-Ash_Oshawott.png
Oshawott, the Water-type sea otter Pokemon?
Oshawott is the all-rounder of the group with very balanced stats although it leans towards more of an attacker than a defender.

Vote in the poll above!

In Black, I chose Oshawott as my starter cos I like him and I often choose Water Starters.

IN white i always choose Snivy, and in Black Oshawott

Cloche December 14th, 2011 7:50 PM

On my first play though. I chose Snivy. Then I erased everything and chose Oshawott... now I'm planning on going back and choosing Snivy agian. o.O
I am indecisive.

Blizz December 14th, 2011 9:00 PM

I chose Oshawott in White. Oshawott looked very cool Pokémon first time I saw it. And now I'm glad I made that decision, Samurott is strong and have good moves.

Ephemeral Euphoria December 14th, 2011 9:20 PM

I went with Tepig on White, felt like I needed the extra power Tepig and its evolutionary line had to help get through the majority of the game, thank god I was right on that one haha. By the 7th gym I was dropping my opponent's Pokes like flies with Emboar's Hammer Arms and Heat Crashes lol.

Also nicknamed my Tepig Hibuta too.

Overlord Drakow December 15th, 2011 1:31 AM

I opted for Snivy as he seems like an arrogant douchebag, kinda like me at times!

This is my post for the 15th December, Kaori.

I picked Oshawott as a starter because it is a water type and I seem to be drawn to Water type starters since Johto.


:t354:TG

Halcyon December 15th, 2011 4:56 AM

I chose Tepig since it's based on pigs and I love pigs. And it's cute too!

And it turns out that Emboar seems to be a nice Pokemon as well, based on its Pokedex entry in Black. So I'm quite happy with my choice. :)

Mentalii December 15th, 2011 5:02 AM

I chose Oshawott because I love water starters.
And to my mind, it was the cuter of them, I'm not really crazy about Tepig or Snivy design...

Kikaito plush December 15th, 2011 5:24 AM

I chose Tepig as my starter because I had never tried a fire starter before.

Hacker Bisharp December 15th, 2011 5:36 AM

I chose tepig because second my opinion is the best starter of Unova

chella182 December 15th, 2011 5:44 AM

Oshawott. I couldn't decide between Tepig (I usually always start with Fire) and Snivy (I think Snivy's design is the best out of the three), so I chose Oshawott just on a whim. Not regretting it at all, though. Especially with the lack of decent (imo) Water-type Pokémon in Unova.

HotaruSobotka December 15th, 2011 11:44 AM

Oshawott... but I refuse to evolve it.

Melinda December 15th, 2011 1:53 PM

When I first got the game I was deadset on Oshawott. My first playthrough was the only time I chose it though. Now when I restart a new game I usually choose Tepig.

PlatinumDude December 15th, 2011 3:14 PM

I chose Oshawott in Black and Tepig in White. Both of them aren't really that bad.

Killjoy December 15th, 2011 3:26 PM

The first time I played I chose Tipig, but I've used em all on different play throughs.

This is my least favorite line up of starters, but I dont hate em either

Ciax December 15th, 2011 3:35 PM

I chose Oshawot, because every single game I choose the water starters first. Because water was my favourite type when I was younger. Now the bugs have replaced water as top dog but as there is no bug starters I still always choose the water type.

miltankRancher December 15th, 2011 3:49 PM

I have already used Tepig and Oshawott. I tried picking Snivy up first, but the game got REAL hard ( I don't know why) somewhere in the early-game. Samurott is a beast.

EliteNeutrono37 December 15th, 2011 4:14 PM

I chose Snivy. He's now a level 100 Serperior. Nothing beats him. :rambo:

Nijiri December 15th, 2011 4:18 PM

I chose Oshawott in my Pokemon White game because when my brother, his friend, and I planned to get the game and choose different starters from each other, I accidentally snatched my brother's friend's choice. Now he had to get Snivy. Oops.

However, I've grown attached to Oshawott, not minding its stats at first. It made a really great comrade later in my playthrough. Although if I haven't leveled my Samurott up that much after reaching level 64 (I think), I do know who's going to be the proud mother of a family of nicely-trained little Oshawotts.

OpenDoorLeia December 15th, 2011 6:22 PM

I chose Tepig at first on my White cartridge, because fire types have usually been my thing. But recently I've taken a pretty strong liking to Oshawott for some reason. Maybe it's just how flipping adorable he is in the anime or something; I just love that ice cream beaver so much, guys. SO MUCH.

Emboar just seemed like such a BEAST, if you know what I mean. He just looks like he wants to destroy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. and man, BEARD OF FIRE?! You just can't get more BAMF than that.

I haven't used Snivy yet, but if a Pokemon Grey ever emerges then I'll definatley use it as my starter. And perhaps I'll use it on a Rom one of these days. Dunno, but I kind of like all of them, but Oshawott and Tepig are neck and neck.

echolocated December 15th, 2011 8:34 PM

You already know who I chose, Hikari :)
Tepig because it was based on a pig and it's cute!
(lol, I sound like Togepulls xD)

Plus, I had no idea what their evolutions were :P

kuzronk December 15th, 2011 9:45 PM

Oshawott in my copy Tepig/Snivy in my brothers R4
and i got tepig/snivy eggs from the internet and eloved them all

DualBlade December 15th, 2011 9:55 PM

I Really Like Tepig.Cause when it evolves into Emboar its Fighting/Fire Type.

But Eventually i used Oshawott.SO Ill just go with Oshawott.

Uecil December 16th, 2011 1:36 AM

I chose Oshawott because he looked cute and it's weird, but I also liked Water types. So, I couldn't resist picking it.
