I will start with Snivy my first time on one of the two games.
It's what I picked my first time playing B/W, so it seems fit to use on my first run for B2/W2.

Sheep April 15th, 2012 5:15 PM

I'm probably going to choose Snivy this time around. It's always been one of my favorite starters but I never did choose it when I played through White, so this'll be a good time. :3 Though I'm also considering Tepig; its final form grew on me after a while and I've yet to try it out.

Oryx April 15th, 2012 5:21 PM

Will probably pick Snivy so I can pick up an Azurill in Route 1, and because I did Tepig last time. :3

Volcarona April 15th, 2012 6:13 PM

I started with Oshawott and Tepig last time. It's Snivy's time to shine.

MaddogSix April 15th, 2012 6:41 PM

SNIVY IS AWESOME, don't like it's evolved forms too much though

SnowpointQuincy April 15th, 2012 6:44 PM

There are so many good pokemon, I will not use my starter. I will choose Snivy so that my rival is stuck with Tepig. Tepig looks really cool. I'll enjoy blowing it away on the rival team.

Livewire_ April 15th, 2012 8:27 PM

I started B&W with Snivy, so I'll probably start BW2 with Snivy. :3

TheFuturePokemon April 15th, 2012 8:38 PM

Oshawott all the way. Picked him in white and now gonna pick him in either black 2/white 2. GOO Oshawott!

Asuf April 15th, 2012 8:42 PM

I'm picking Oshawott, just like Black version, I dislike the other two though, I've used Snivy once though but I find the Oshawott line really effective in game.

Boarbeque April 15th, 2012 9:06 PM

Why is my favorite starter the least favorite? This is possibly the only time where the Fire starter is the least picked.

gunnerpow7 April 15th, 2012 10:47 PM

Oshawott all the way! I totally love its design! =3

Well it was the least popular in B/W. :x But at least on the plus side I'll be picking it in every playthrough? :3

Oryx April 15th, 2012 11:58 PM

Will anyone be ignoring the starters and getting a Pokemon from an early route or trading one in from B/W? Even though I'm picking Snivy probably I'm still considering getting a Larvesta from White and transferring it over to raise as my starter instead.

RikuCrafter April 16th, 2012 2:09 AM

SNIVY ALL THE FREAKING WAY!!!!!

[anti-caps] Snivy is my favourite, so it'll be a repeat of White - Japanese with Tepig, then English twice, both times with Snivy.

Superjub April 16th, 2012 2:12 AM

I'm probably going to go with Oshawott this time around. :) I chose Tepig on Pokemon Black and, while he was pretty good, Emboar is pretty bleh. Tepig's amazing though. Conversely, Oshawott is okay but not too great, but I really like Samurott. It's probably my favourite out of the final evolutions of the Unova starters. :D Snivy is just there- I don't really care for it or any of it's evolutions tbh. :x

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ April 16th, 2012 3:04 AM

It's gonna be Oshawott like in White. I never have been a fan of starting with a Grass-type and I'm not looking forward to another Fighting-Fire hybrid starter, so that pretty much limits my options to Oshawott.

Darkrylles April 16th, 2012 3:10 AM

Oshawott. I liked Snivy so much, but I prefered Oshwott's stats.

Mew~ April 16th, 2012 4:03 AM

Eh, since I'm hoping to get both - I'll most likely get a choice from two. I'm kind of disappointed with the starters to be honest, although yes - they make sense, it's just it would have been nicer to have a different choice. It's not like it'll ruin my experience of the games anyway - so I'm just nitpicking. ._.'

I'll probably pick Snivy in White 2, considering I didn't pick it in any of my playthroughs of B/W, and I'll probably make a decision on the starter for Black 2 on the spot. xD;

I MIGHT do this one I see what Pokemon they're putting in the games. I did that for the first time I ever played my White version and it was awesome. Actually, I may pick Oshawott just so I can replace it with an Azurill.

Legendary Silke April 16th, 2012 4:31 AM

I think I'm going to go with Snivy this time around, too :) I guess he's a bit too smug, eh? Besides, being with what I like is the thing that I like the most about reusing starter choices. Unless I can't pick it for some reason

I'm on the fence of actually doing this, since I'll be Nuzlocking my first playthrough, so I really want a chance to get an Azurill, rather than not being able to actually train it because I have an Oshawott.

If I do so, Bulbasaur will definately be my starter of choice.

Hikamaru April 16th, 2012 4:41 AM

I will be choosing Oshawott cos it's my fave of the three.

Everyone knows that "I liek Oshawottz" and have this cute Oshawott mascot. I like the other two but Oshawott turned out the best for me plus he's cute.

kingofbluesteel April 16th, 2012 6:08 AM

ill probably go for snivy or tepig. it would be really cool if they get updated moves

DavidBarnes April 16th, 2012 6:16 AM

I don't care who or what is going on in the new games.

This guy has had my back from the beginning of this new generation. And it's gonna stay that way.

piku April 16th, 2012 8:55 AM

Oshawott for me. For some reason, I always felt as though the developers were sort of nudging the player to choose the water starter. Heck even the anime has Ash getting an Oshawott.
