-   -   6th Gen Treecko, Torchic, or Mudkip? (https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=333061)

Treecko was so bad in gen 3. I do believe single typing would be a better choice down the stretch in current gen.

EagleVision1999 August 17th, 2014 3:09 PM

Hmm...I generally like Torchic (and its evolutions) best, but I already kind of used it as a starter in Y, so probably Mudkip. Treecko really isn't great.

AANickFan September 3rd, 2014 10:31 AM

Why is Torchic so unpopular in this poll? Not that I like Torchic or anything, but still. I thought Mega Blaziken was the coolest thing to every1 in the Pokemon Community.

Mercurybro September 3rd, 2014 10:48 AM

I can't wait to literally Blaze my way through AS with Torchic. I haven't played x/y yet (but might play a potential sequel) and am looking forward to using mega's in game for the first time, especially for blaziken. I know I can use only blaziken to get through the entire game on sapphire, with a little help from kyogre in e4, and will probably do it this time around too.

Mr. X September 3rd, 2014 11:21 AM

Torchic is unpopular in this poll since a lot of people have used it in a starter for X/Y.

I'll be transfering over a Torchic and a Squirtle so I'll be picking Treeko.

curiousnathan September 5th, 2014 5:40 PM

I will probably choose Treecko as my starter, but then trade in a Torchic as well. I like Blaziken and Sceptile a lot so why not?

TRGrunt September 6th, 2014 6:02 AM

Torchic definitely, I love my fire starters!

MarinoKadame September 6th, 2014 6:27 AM

I wonder if I could transfert eggs via pokebank to ORAS, this way I could get a starter with good IV and ability that will be hatched in Hoenn instead of being from Kalos.

Naikado September 6th, 2014 8:00 AM

In Gen III as a kid, I'd usually choose Torchic and beat the game using only it. I'm choosing Mudkip this time, and spent months breeding a shiny to use. Giant pink beefcake. Yes.

I'm excited for whatever changes they might have made to the game- and it would cool if I'd be able to make a more varied team than usual.

Unless they update Pokebank I doubt it, we can't put eggs on it right now which is a pain... If they do update it I have a Buneary egg, which should have some decent egg moves, which I'd like to move over for Mega Lopunny...

I'll be using Mudkip in Omega Ruby, just like in my first time playing Ruby and then Treeko in Alpha Sapphire, which my brother used in Sapphire- unfortunately he doesn't play Pokemon anymore so I'm getting OR and AS. I might breed a Torchic just to get its line registered in my OR Pokedex.

I almost always pick Torchic when playing Hoenn because it is my favorite starter of all time! However since I have already used it's mega evolution I will be going with Mudkip. I am super excited about Mega Swampert and can't wait to use it!

4768fitz September 10th, 2014 2:41 PM

Treecko obviously. Because Grass/Dragon?! Just yes. Plus the first time I played the original I chose Mudkip.

Altairis September 10th, 2014 10:17 PM

I was planning on picking Treecko from the start because I did so in the original Sapphire and Sceptile is one of my favorites, but now that Mega Sceptile is Dragon/Grass I can't resist. <3 Next time I play through ORAS I'm going with Mudkip since I haven't chosen it before.

Well, it depends on what version you're getting. If you're getting Omega Ruby, I'd say Mudkip, because Mudkip's line will just blast through Team Magma, and Treecko's line would just blast through team Aqua on Alpha Sapphire. It also depends on your other team members, as if you are already planning on using a Grass type like Bellossom, then you don't really need another grass type that specializes in Special Attack. And of course, it doesn't make sense to have a Gyarados and Swampert on the same team, as they are both physical Water types. As for me, I'm picking Torchic, as I almost always pick the Fire starter in my first run through a game.

I was thinking of mudkip as I used to play it back in the old ruby I know I'm going to have salamance on my team its just the rest its hard to choose

Del September 23rd, 2014 7:12 AM

I want an electric type as Starter :/
well I choose Torchic not because of the type, but because of He looks cooler than the other craps

ThatChickWithNoLife September 23rd, 2014 8:20 PM

There's only one reason why I'm picking Treeko...

Mega... DRAGON... Type!!!!!

Pochama95 September 24th, 2014 10:27 AM

I want to choose Mudkip but Mega Swampert doesn't have any special qualities and I'm honestly playing this game for the stones so Mega Sceptile is more valuable. Treecko is my choice. Altaria and Lopunny ftw.

gnmmarechal September 24th, 2014 1:06 PM

Torchic <3

It was my starter on Gen3... So many memories... I'll have to find my Pokemon Ruby cartridge. My Pokemon Blue still works with my 5 badges and a level 51 Charizard :D

Dramon Knight September 24th, 2014 5:38 PM

Heh, going with Mudkip. Gotta be, it was always my favourite Hoenn starter. :D

HollyYoshi September 27th, 2014 1:39 PM

Treecko all the way. Not only is Sceptile one of my favorite Pokemon, but its Mega Form looks awesome.

PokeChris123 September 27th, 2014 1:47 PM

When I first got Pokemon Emerald (my first Gen 3 game) I chose Treecko. Ever since then, Treecko has been my favorite Gen 3 starter. I will most likely choose it when I get AS.

Nakasu September 27th, 2014 1:58 PM

I'd say Mudkip is the best choice. It becoming an unbeatable Ground/Water type. I believe that Mega Swampert is going to be a tank.

I'm skipping out on Treeko because it has too many weaknesses. It sometimes makes it up with speed. Sceptile's Mega evolution doesn't excite me with it being a Dragon/Grass Type. One Ice Beam and GG.

I'm skipping out on Torchic because of my painful memories in Ruby with Roxanne and Broly. Some would go with Torchic, with Blaziken's Mega Evolution being an Ubers Pokemon, but I don't see it as that strong. one Earthquake. BraveBird? GG

I see what you're saying, but I don't see why those weaknesses should deter you from using the other starters. You won't keep Blaziken in on something that knows EQ, especially since ingame the ones that use it are often Ground- or Rock-types, where Blaziken could just use its own Earthquake to take them out. Swampert has a 4x weakness to Grass, which isn't that uncommon of a type?
