Blastoise have a big fan-base, not as big as charizard's, but still a large one. So it won't be such a big problem to get squirtle. balbasaur on the other hand... Also now that you mention its ability to shoot six miles away, I hope that he will be able to hit the faraway pokemon in triple-battle, just for keep things logical |

Also, don't all Pulse moves (which are supposedly boosted by the new ability) Already hit non-adjacent pokemon in a triple battle? There'd be no point there... But if it allowed all moves, or at least a certain selection of moves to have increased range to that non-adjacent spot... (Moves like the majority of Water type moves. Water gun, bubble beam, etc. Not moves like surf, because those are area moves, and wouldn't be 'channeled' through a giant cannon) Also from what I saw in the animation is...why didn't they make the attacks come from the cannon? It would've been cool! Edit (Because I don't want to post a thousand times) @Below GASP!!!! Someone who actually wants bulbasaur?! IT'S AMAZING! Sorry, had to... |
It is so cool! I can have Fennekin AND a Bulbasaur! I am so excited! Game Freak is rocking it old school, total respect for that company.
ROCK ON GAME FREAK! \m/ |

Starting at 12:10 in that video, Junichi Masuda clearly says that we can choose either Chespin, Fennekin, or Froakie along with Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle to take on our journey. This makes it pretty obvious that we will get the Kanto starters early in the game. It sucks too, since Blastoise is my favorite Pokemon and want to take him on the journey with me... Although my original plan was to Choose Froakie and Skrelp on my team. Oh well, I guess I can box my Squirtle, along with my Torchic inside the PC and use them after I'm done with the game. |
I'm guessing we receive a gen 1 starter pokemon when we reach PAL park/safari zone thingy on X/Y. Which starts an egg?
|
regarding starters...
1. A. is it possible to trade with a friend the starters? B. to make more than on save and chose a different pokemon every time? 2. A. is it possible to get kent shiny starer? B. is it going to be the same way of getting the 6 gen starters... reset until you get one? |
With Kanto starters now being available for you to use, the choices has now become even more difficult me. I was originally going to use Fennekin, because I'm going to play as Serena, but now that Torchic and Charmander are here, it'll be frustrating for me to choose only one Fire type for my team, although Blaziken will still be stuck in stuck on ubers due to speed boost from its Mega Evolution, and I don't use ubers in my team. The solution would've been choosing Chespin instead, but it doesn't suit Serena, and I'll be losing my chance to use Gogoat.
|
I am going to choose Bulbasaur for my Kanto starter in the game. I would like to pick Fennekin as my Kalos starter, so I wanted to pick a Kanto starter of a different type although I love the Charmander line. I probably will not even end up using the Kanto starter though, I want to use all new Pokemon.

I'm also pretty sure the old "Save and Soft Reset" technique will still be available so we can try our luck at obtaining a shiny starter. This hasn't changed since Gen II. |
Currenly I'm mostly divided between Bulbasaur and Charmander...
|
I'm picking Squirtle!! :) So excited. Going to leave him as a Wartortle and can't wait to see it in 3D.

Now give me Mega Typhlosion! Ive always thought his design could have been much better like his previous two forms. There is hope yet! |
MegaCharizard keeping it's fire/flying typing might be a great move from Nintendo competitive-wise if the rumors of fire being resistant to fairy are true. This would give him a resistance to the probably going to be ou fairy pokemon and still have a large move pool for coverage. I'm guessing megastars will be blasted into overused.
|
You know, we all seem to kind of forgotten something.
We're getting a free torchic as well.... That changes things completely Chespin to cover grass, Squirtle to cover water, and the free Torchic to cover Fire.... That pretty much covers everything you need right there. |
I wasn't expecting this, and while it's a delightful surprise I can't say that I'm fully awed. We should receive the starters sometime during the game pre-pokemon league. I realllyyyy want to see the mega-evolutions of the Kalos starters though. If Froakie is water/fighting like I'm hoping then I bet its mega-evolution will be kick ass.
I will be going with Froakie & Bulbasaur unless Kalos has a great selection of grass types besides Chespin. |

I'm hoping the professor gives the pokémon out early in the game. Either way, I'm going with a bulbasaur. I usually love charmanders but I want fennekin so it would be pointless to add another fire type. I like squirtle as well but I rarely picked bulbasaur in the original games so I want a change. Plus I like how simple the mega evolution for venusaur is. It's not too bold so it looks like the same pokémon.

But yeah, I like how this idea was executed, I remember in HG/SS you could not only get a Johto starter at the start but also a Kanto and Hoenn starter after defeating Red. If you take one each out of the three trios you can potentially have Grass, Fire and Water covered all at once. But still, I'm hoping we get access to more other regions' starter Pokemon because given we've seen Mega Evolutions of Blaziken and the Kanto starters so far, I wouldn't be surprised if they had Mega Evolutions for all the starters. |
I'm sure I'll get Charmander when I can & as for the Kalos starter, I'll have to see their final evos before deciding.
Or if one of my cousin gets Charmander, I'll choose Bulbasaur... I do really like the looks of Mega Venusaur... (hopefully I'll be able to get both of their Mega Stones... if not, Charmander.) |
Quote:
I already decided on Chespin as my Kalos starter. It was between Squirtle and Charmander for Kanto, then I remembered the Torchic. I also like the cut of MegaBlastoise's jib. |
I may get all Charmander...if so that'll make for a Fire trinity of sorts...

anyway I already know what starters I am picking. Bulbasaur is one of my favorite gen 1 starters. And since vena's mega form has thick fat he will make an excellent tank. I am also picking fennekin(unless its fiire/fighting JK LOL) |
Definitely gonna have to go with Squirtle, S/He will be a great secondary to froakie...
But they all come after my Vanilluxe :3 |
Quote:
On topic: I'm not going to restrict myself to the types of the starters who which one I think "suits" better the player character...so it's an open field for me...that doesn't make it easy to choose though as I can't narrow it down...I love Bulbasaur and Squirtle...but that Droughtzard... |
Quote:
bringing the old team back together... |
All I know, is that I'll be getting Fennekin and Squirtle in my Y version, and the Chespin and Charmander in my X version.
|
I am so getting Chespin and Charmander.
|
Totally getting Squirtle. MBlastoise looks so cool.
Oh, and it covers who my surfing Pokemon will be haha. |
I won't be using my Kanto starter but chances are I'll be picking Bulbasaur because it's my favorite one. The reason why I'm not going to be using it is because for my first playthrough I want to use only Kalos Pokemon and if I used a Kanto starter it will ruin the point.
|
I'll probably go with charmander because it's my favorite. Although I'll be choosing fennekin too, so I have a problem there.
|
Me too Omicron, we'll end up with 3 fire starters but ..the heart wants what the heart wants.

I'll probably be picking Bulbasaur! I REALLY want that Venusaur, especially the Mega version. From what I've heard, it's even bulkier and stronger. I would of went with Charmander, but ...meh. i luve Bulbasaur, haha xD;;

Hah, with megacharizard in the way, talonflame wil say goodbye to my team. :( I can't have three fire types in one team, hahaha.
Seriously, all 3 mega kanto starters are beasts, they have some very sleek designs. |
Quote:
Not that I'm a pro or something like this, thats just how things seems to me |
I'll get Squritle, But im gonna choose froakie so I have a problem there I guess... or just get another copy and 3DS and trade the starters for the Kalos regions Zubat.
(By that I mean The pokemon thats everywhere, but nobody wants it) |

Going to pick Fennekin for Kalos starter and Bulbasaur as my Kanto. Initially I was going for the grass starter but I just can't seem to like Chespin. Something with it's design just turns me off it and Fennekin is so friggin' cute, I just hope it's evolution are cute too :]
Kalos will be the first region I don't pick a grass starter >.> At least good ol' Bulbasaur will be there as my grass starter. Now I'm just hoping I can find a way to smuggle my Chikorita, Treecko, Turtwig and Snivy egg from BW2 so I can stare at my beautiful grass types starters when they graceful move during battle. |
I'm glad that the old retro starters will be available in X/Y. I was really disappointed with the X/Y starter Pokemon at first and while I've grown to love Froakie, I still don't like the other two so I'm glad I'll have other options of which starters to choose. I'll prolly end up picking Charmander or Bulbasaur in X version and I'll get Froakie in Y.

This has put me in turmoil because while I'm so excited, I also don't know which I'll choose! I know I'm choosing Fennekin, but I just love Mega Charizard so much and I don't want to get the two of the same types if I'm going to utilize them in my party!
Ahhg! I guess if nothing else I'll choose Squirtle. |
At first I was thinking that I'll go for Squirtle as I'll have Chespin and (the event) Torchic in my team to make the typing trinity complete - however, I think having three starters on my team will discourage me to use new ones that I've never seen or had before... not to mention the unfair advantage that I think Starters bring. |
It depends on the general availability of the Pokemon with the typing that these starters in question have. For example if there is a dearth of Grass type Pokemon, I'd pick Bulbasaur.
