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.) |

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 |
