The tradition of me ditching my starter right after I caught another Pokemon I liked began with Hoenn. Because I didn't like any Hoenn starters.
With ORAS I chose Mudkip because I think the Treeko line suits my rival, Brendan (that's what he gets if I choose Mudkip)

I like Sceptile's mega evolution alright, but other than it, I am equally not fond of the Hoenn starters.

I picked up torchic because I just love fire type starters for some reason.
I've pretty much chosen fire starters in every pokemon game xD

Firox November 11th, 2015 8:36 AM

In all my Hoenn games (I have 5 copies - 3 of AS and 2 of OR) all times I picked Mudkip. Only on my first run did I keep it in my team. The other 4 times I already had my team planned out.

As for the other 2? - Treecko I plan on using someday in a Grass-type team, I hope I enjoy it - and the other worst looking, nope, won't give it a chance, still don't like it's design, it prevents me from giving it the chance, taking it down so many times in Doubles, just makes me annoy seeing it.

Design, I like Mudkip and it's evolutions a bit more. After using it in a team, and an awesome looking Mega. It's my choice.

I picked Mudkip in both AS and OR. I don't know what I'll do if I start another playthrough at some point, but I really like water starters, and I like Mudkip. I've also always been a big fan of the water/ground typing, despite the grass weakness (probably because my Quagsire in Gold fared well against the member of my friend's team that destroyed the rest of my unbalanced party), so although I like some of the other gens' starters better, I do like choosing Mudkip while in Hoenn.

I've never cared much for Torchic, though I've used it on teams as a secondary member before. Blaziken is notable for being my first EV trained Pokemon ever (in Sapphire). I'd like to try Treecko, maybe, but I still can't get around the fact that I really like water starters.

Wicked3DS November 15th, 2015 9:25 AM

I wasn't going to pick Torchic because I had used the event Blaziken in X, so I wanted one of the other two. I picked Treecko because I liked Mega Sceptile slightly better than Swampert (Dragon-types ftw).

SamuraiPizzaCat November 15th, 2015 9:42 AM

I surprised myself and choose Treecko as my starter in AS. Mainly because I was bored of Torchic from having it in Pokemon X & I choose Mudkip back in Emerald :3 Plus out of all 3 of the mega evolutions I strangley liked Mega Sceptile's pose xD What probably helped make my decision was that I had decided to give myself a Charmander via Pokebank when I started ^_^

Rourke November 16th, 2015 4:25 AM

I usually go for the fire starter, but decided to go for the Mudkip instead this time.

Emboar November 16th, 2015 4:29 AM

I chose Torchic on my first playthrough because I generally prefer Fire type starters over the other two types, and I chose Mudkip on my second playthrough because I wanted to try using Mega Swampert.

The White Joker November 17th, 2015 12:08 AM

I never play OR/AS but i will choose Torchic because it is the starter I choose when I am playing Ruby and Sapphire for the first time

Kitrigar November 21st, 2015 7:05 PM

I chose Treeko for my AS save file and Mudkip for my OR file.
I mostly chose these two because in RSE, I only ever used Torchic so I wanted to change it up a little.
I really like Sceptile's Mega Evo for some reason! Not too big on the others tho :o

Ammako November 22nd, 2015 7:45 AM

Also how is Torchic the least popular! Nuuuuuuuuu!!

The Evil Mewtwo December 5th, 2015 1:11 PM

I picked Treecko but the Brave nature is pretty useless.

Dunsparce December 5th, 2015 1:30 PM

I picked Mudkip in Omega Ruby and Treeko in Alpha Sapphire. I didn't pick Torchic, my usualy default chose in Hoenn games, because I wanted to try out the two new Mega Evolutions, I played with Mega Blaziken quite a bit in X and Y.

KorpiklaaniVodka December 6th, 2015 11:54 AM

I don't play OR/AS, but if I did, I would have picked Treecko in this case, since I like Sceptile more than Swampert and Blaziken. Mega Sceptile's Grass/Dragon typing is very unique and has a badass design plus access to STAB Leaf Storm and Dragon Pulse. I never liked Blaziken that much tbh due to its lame concept and being overpowered in standard play (plus it feels pretty bad in Ubers anyway). Swampert's cool, but I can't stand Mudkip memes.

kawaiimix December 6th, 2015 3:56 PM

I chose Treecko, he just seemed really cool and I always have loved my grass-types. And I really like the draining attacks that Treecko is able to pick up as it levels up. Plus, mega Sceptile is goals, to be honest.

SuperMegaSceptile December 7th, 2015 1:49 PM

Sceptile is, hands down, the best grass type starter.

LadyVenus December 7th, 2015 5:25 PM

Mudkip. I have always gone with Mudkip since gen. III. I didn't think I would like Mega Swampert at first, but I ended up loving my Mega Swampert. <3

shadowmoon522 December 8th, 2015 9:48 PM

i went with(and am currently still using) a treecko thats now a sceptile.
i already had a shiny squirtle & a shiny absol that i bread in X in preparation for the day i'd get AS ready, i started off with them as my main team adding cosplay pika once i could & a zigzagoon for HM slave.
so i got 3 pokemon that i used as starters and 3 that actually are starters.

Kaiyu December 9th, 2015 9:40 PM

I chose Mudkip because it's one of my favorite Pokémon and I like water types.

FioriKikuchi December 10th, 2015 11:22 AM

I was going to choose Torchic but changed my mind and chose Mudkip instead.

Sukyandaru December 12th, 2015 9:37 AM

I went with Treecko since I've rarely used it before, and a Dragon type mega evolution was too good to pass up x:. Grovyle's about lv30 now in AS, so going to get a Sceptile soon~!
My favourite out of the starters and their evolved forms is still Mudkip, though I find its mega evo a bit underwhelming (really good in the rain though!). So if I end up getting OR and playing through that, I think I'll go with Mudkip because Surf <3.

acatfrommars January 3rd, 2016 12:25 AM

I picked mudkip because I wanted to see that final mega evolution roid Swampert. That thing was a beast in game, by the end I had trained that thing so much that I was able to sweep entire teams with Hydro Pump. Torchic is my favorite of the gen. 3 starters, but Mega Swampert is my favorite mega evolutions of the 3.

SparkLord January 29th, 2016 1:07 PM

Go Treeko! I named it Tree.

ChillyHaunter January 30th, 2016 1:02 PM

In my Alpha Sapphire game, I chose Treecko. I figured that Torchic and Mudkip would be a lot more common, and decided to go with the one that I thought was chosen the least. My Treecko, now a Sceptile, has definitely proven herself as a strong and valuable member of my team, and that Mega Evo never hurts either!

Yatoumori January 30th, 2016 5:55 PM

I started off with Treecko - primarily because it's my personal favorite of the gen 3 starters, and the one I started out with myself when I played Sapphire as a kid.
