Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip?
 

Which one will you choose in the upcoming remakes? Why? Will you use its Mega evolution? Will you use any of the starters, or box it after you catch another Pokemon?

Started with treecko in the original Ruby, followed by mudkip in Emerald.

For nostalgia's sake (since this IS a Ruby/Sapphire remake) and I'm getting Omega Ruby first, it'll be treecko.

I will probably use its mega, but only when necessary. IMO, mega evolution makes the battle fairly easier.

I plan on starting with Treecko when I get Omega Ruby. It was my first ever starter in Ruby (my first ever GBA game) and is the only starter I ever legitimately raised to level 100 in my gen. III games, so it holds a lot of nostalgia for me. I definitely plan on using its Mega; Mega Sceptile looks pretty badass and is pretty much what I hoped for it to be. It's definitely gonna stay on my team. I wouldn't take it out for any other Pokemon--even others with Megas I want to use.

In Alpha Sapphire, I plan on starting with Mudkip. I really love its and Swampert's design & shiny color palette, and I love Swampert's typing and bulk. I also have some good memories of Swampert; the one I have in Emerald has done pretty well in battle, including ones with the Frontier Brains. Like with Treecko, I plan on keeping it in my party; however, I will not be Mega Evolving it. I'm not a huge fan of Mega Swampert's design, plus I've been wanting to use Mega Manectric in-game, which I decided I'd use before Sceptile's and Swampert's Megas were announced. Not gonna wait to use it in another playthrough or in the next game(s).

I plan on starting with Treeko. It has the better mega evolution, in my eyes, and is my favorite Grass starter. It has Lightningrod, and will be quite helpful, with the game, before the Elite 4.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire August 3rd, 2014 7:47 PM

I'm surprised we let the starter thread die...it usually doesn't die this early.

Anyways I am planning to get Treecko. I do have nostalgia with the other two too, so it's kind of difficult to pick.

FlamebirdXZ August 3rd, 2014 9:47 PM

Wasn't there a thread like this already? I'm picking both mudkip and treecko because I plan on getting both versions.

Hikamaru August 3rd, 2014 11:19 PM

Mudkip for me, given my tendency to choose the Water starter. And it ties into the fact I used it in the original Ruby/Sapphire, and its Mega looks pretty strong. Also, less weaknesses means it doesn't have to worry about as much as the other two starters.

MarinoKadame August 3rd, 2014 11:31 PM

It depend on how Pokebank will work and if we can get the other megastones from a shop like the Gen 1 megastones from the stone shop old man NPC.

I loved Blaziken to death but I used him so much in my old Gen 3 games and even in X. Plus we already know stuff about it's mega and stuff, so this time I'll go with Sceptile. I used to hate them for some reason but grass type pokemon are my favorite and Sceptile looks like a cool mother fu-

Abby August 4th, 2014 1:06 AM

Mudkip is my favorite starter ever, so...

Laylaw August 4th, 2014 1:56 AM

Treecko used to be my favorite back in the days. But Mudkip's Mega evolution is just a little too cool. So, I don't really know yet. But I would say it's a 50/50 chance of either.

PlatinumDude August 4th, 2014 3:25 AM

As homage to my original Sapphire and Emerald games, I'm going with Mudkip in Alpha Sapphire.

blue August 4th, 2014 3:36 AM

Really can't decide yet since I like to have type diversity and due to the fact that all three Hoenn starters are awesome. At first I was set for Treecko, but since seeing Mega Swampert I'm more lenient to choosing Mudkip now and also since I'm using Roserade which is a Grass type. Torchic was my first starter in sapphire too, so for originality purposes I might go with Torchic which is why I'm torn on this decision rn. ;;

Pendraflare August 4th, 2014 3:57 AM

I'll most likely take Mudkip. It does decently in the beginning of the game, and although it's not ideal for the Elite Four it is pretty bulky. And should I do a blind Nuzlocke like i've said i'm considering, it might work well for that reason. Don't think i'd go with Treecko if only because of Wattson and Flannery )x

But if I keep a file for a normal playthrough, I think i'll pick Treecko then.

Firox August 4th, 2014 4:32 AM

I'll be choosing Mudkip in most OR/AS games but likely I'll end up ditching the starter after a while - I'll try my best to keep the starter in the first run.

Iceshadow3317 August 4th, 2014 6:46 AM

When I first played ruby, I used mudkip. But think I am gonna go with Treecko this time.

Captain Gizmo August 4th, 2014 6:49 AM

Mudkip. 2nd pick would be Torchic, because tbh I never even used Blaziken's mega evolution yet, lol. Last pick for me would be Treecko because type wise, it's still the weakest Pokemon.

Ozymandias August 4th, 2014 7:12 AM

If not for the mega evolution I would pick Torchic, but since I already have used mega Blaziken I think it would be kinda boring. Plus Mega Swampert is extra swole

Kikaito plush August 4th, 2014 7:37 AM

treecko as I started Sapphire with an Treecko first time around.

Sceptile90 August 4th, 2014 1:31 PM

I'm picking Treecko because I already had a Shiny Torchic (With Speed Boost :D) and a Shiny Mudkip bred specifically for these games! Plus, Sceptile is my favourite Pokémon. (Charizard's a close second with Greninja taking the third place spot!)

Koiko August 4th, 2014 9:02 PM

Mudkips because...

Oblivion Wing August 4th, 2014 9:13 PM

Im picking treeko, but getting all of them. Also i heard you liked Mudkipz breh...

Glameows August 5th, 2014 3:29 AM

I'm choosing Torchic as I played Sapphire and Emerald with Torchic and is probably my favourite Hoenn starter. I used Charizard instead of Blaziken in X so it will be nice for me to see Mega Blaziken properly :) I'm going to be playing Alpha Sapphire first but if I play Omega Ruby, I might choose Treecko.

matwe August 5th, 2014 4:05 AM

Treecko all the ways.:)

Devastryk August 5th, 2014 4:16 AM
