Anyone else like Fennekin?
 
So I was playing a demo of Pokémon X and Y today and it told me to choose my starter Pokémon, either Chespin or Froakie or Fennekin and I went with Fennekin because my specialty has always been the fire type. And I just like the way fennekin looks.

Some equations to consider:

Fennekin = Cute
Delphox = Boss

Need I say more?

ViperSpeeds June 3rd, 2014 3:19 PM

Greninja is the coolest looking one.

Firox June 3rd, 2014 4:25 PM

I just love Fennekin and it's evolutions too, it's also my 2nd favorite starter of all starter Pokemon (Oshy being 1st) - really love all the cute animations Fennekin does in Amie.

I loved Fennekin, I found it to be super adorable (who couldn't love a little fire fox?).

However, it's evolutions disappointed me which is what kept me from choosing it during my second playthrough. I much preferred Greninja in looks and ability overall.

I see what you did there. Whether done intentionally or not. Frankly, I use Firefox, so a fire fox makes sense.

Fennekin's line is my second fave of the Kalos starters, behind Froakie's line. I love the whole mage/wizard theme with Fennekin's line, in fact I really enjoyed using Delphox in-game given its typing is pretty good on the offensive end.

Fennekin is my second favorite Kalos pokemon after Pumpkinboo because it's evo broke the fire/fighting that gen 3-5 had.

Hehe, it was... sorta intentional? I didn't do it on purpose, but I noticed before I posted and didn't change anything.

I use Firefox too most of the time. :P

I picked Fennekin because it was fire as well, and like you my speciality is fire.

I also enjoyed the direction they took with it, since I'd never really used a Fire/Psychic type before, so it was interesting. However, for much of the Post Game I've gone old-school and really only use Gen III and I starters (what I originally played).

Tyheamma June 6th, 2014 5:43 AM

I love Fennekin because it's so adorable. :) Its evolutions however... not a big fan. Especially Braixen, what's with storing a stick in its tail? And those ears... wow. I really wish it had evolved to stay on four legs and be more foxy.

But then again, I don't like any of the starters evolutions. :/

Juxapose June 6th, 2014 8:17 AM

I really love Fennekin, but other people who battle me tend to have a hard time with Delphox.

Dr. Silver June 6th, 2014 8:46 AM

#TeamChesnaught.

Out of the three, Chesnaught is the one that I love both the most and the least. In terms of design, Chesnaught is just the bulky grass type I've always wanted. In actual gameplay, it falls so far behind Delphox and Greninja that it's really sad to see.

Hiatus June 6th, 2014 3:24 PM

Fennekin's awesome; I love it. <3 Wound up choosing Chespin during my first play-through, but this one second time around. Though, I kind of wish Delphox's offensive stats were a little more high, as well as its Speed; that way, it would've been much easier to utilize. I'm personally not such a huge fan of Froakie, mostly due to its design (looks sorta dull to me), but do like Greninja!

Angello June 7th, 2014 11:02 AM

Fennekin is really cute, I like it; and Delphox looks fantastic... But I prefer Froakie and, of course, Greninja.

But, yeah, I like Fennekin a lot.

Sheep June 7th, 2014 11:03 AM

Fennekin is too cute! I'm slowly getting used to Delphox too. Chespin will always be my baby though.. as long as he stays unevolved, haha. </3 I'll never really like Quilladin or Chesnaught as much as I've tried to.

In my next X/Y playthrough I'll be going with Fennekin.

Majestic Electric June 7th, 2014 5:25 PM

While I feel Froakie has the better evolutions, Fennekin is easily my favorite of the three Kalos starters. It's become one of my absolute favorites, too. It's cute, strong in-game, and its evolutions are pretty cool. It's definitely a solid starter. ^^

Starry Windy June 15th, 2014 4:36 AM

Fennekin is one cute starter, and it is my favorite Kalos starter too. And I like Delphox, its final evo as well, because it is a wizard (pun intended), and it's powerful as well.

Pepperton June 15th, 2014 10:27 AM

The first day I saw the Kalos trio of starters, I decided I would pick Fennekin. Its design jumped out at me as the cutest of the three, and speculation was already flying around about it getting a Psychic dual-type, which of course would be rad. Later on, before the middle and final stage evolutions were revealed, I switched to Chespin, but once Greninja was released, I went full circle and picked Froakie for my first Y run. In my current save file, I chose Fennekin, and its been really great n__n; They're adorable!

Zapdos86 June 15th, 2014 10:47 AM

There are only two reasons I don't like Fennekin, and that's because of its design. The second and third evolution of Fennekin look like a female Pokemon in a dress really. And I sometimes like it when my Pokemon look tough, and a male Fennekin looking like a female Pokemon in a dress isn't so pleasant.

bewbs June 16th, 2014 4:18 AM

I like Fennekin. I have two plushies of him and getting a fennekin bag soon. Though I'm okay with the fennekin line. My favourite fully evolved Kalos starter is Greninja becaause of his hidden ability makes him very flexible as a team player.

MementoMori June 18th, 2014 3:03 PM

Not a huge fan of it. I've actually never been a great fan of fire starters. The water ones were always my favorite (not including Gen III).

Deja Vu June 19th, 2014 9:32 AM

I EV trained a Fennikin for Sp. Atk and I wasn't disappointed. However, I started with a Froakie because I pick the water type in my first playthrough of every generation. This came back to bite me though, because when you are prompted to choose a Kanto starter, I didn't want to water stack my team with a Blastoise and, since Charizard is for cliche juveniles, I chose to go with Venusaur. Either I'm not using it right, or Venusaur doesn't pull its own weight. Fennikin, on the other hand, kicks ass in the Battle Mansion and other chain battling situations.

Don't be hating on Mudkip.

I actually love Mudkip. But Treecko was my favorite Gen III starter.

Silhouette June 20th, 2014 2:26 PM

While I wasn't necessarily crazy about this generation's final evolutions of the starters, I did enjoy the choice of starters. Myself, I chose Fennekin. But I made sure it was female because I felt that its design leaned more toward that gender (like Chikorita and its evos).
