Oh and you got a female starter? Lucky, I always love getting female starters since they're so uncommon haha~

In my first run, I picked Treecko since he's one cool little green dude.
In my nuzlocke run, I picked a Torchic based on the last digit of my Trainer ID, ended up naming him Duncan Keith.

I picked Treecko. It's the only grass starter I have ever picked.

Yeah, I didn't even expect for her to be a female. I was thinking of nicknames to give a Treecko, and they were all for males, but she kinda threw that out the window, haha!

Treeko. always loved the Grovyle and Sceptile

EternalSeekerX January 31st, 2016 4:01 PM

I guess I originally picked Torchic, but I usually just get all starts by the use of trading and/or other methods. I just perfer torchic since I love birds and its so damn cute!

Side note: If you have all three starters and have exp share on...the games to easy...

I chose Treecko because of type advantage.

I kinda question it considering it doesn't do well against most of the Gyms, and it's even worse in Omega Ruby due to Team Magma having Pokemon strong against it.

TheBaconToastie February 5th, 2016 12:52 PM

Treecko because I've always liked Sceptile and I think it's Mega Forme is the best designed.

But with ORAS you can either transfer or trade for what you need.

But everyone knows about the trading.

Choosing a starter with a type advantage against the first gym leader is usually pretty useful imo. After you're past the first gym, it doesn't matter so much any more because by that point you'll have more than just your starter to work with.

Technically it was torchic. But I got a cyndaquil early on wonder trade and he's been my most used and highest level pokemon. Blaziken isn't even in my team now at sootopolis

Reunilu February 8th, 2016 6:10 PM

Hmm, last I remember, it was Torchic? It's been a while since I touched my copy of Alpha Sapphire, but I don't ever remember raising a Treeko and I definitely remember raising a Mudkip only once, which was in my copy of X.

rabbit on the moon February 9th, 2016 4:05 PM

During my first run I chose Torchic because the first time I ever beat a Pokemon game was Ruby with my Blaziken. So it was for nostalgia purposes haha.

I'm currently doing my second play through of Omega Ruby, and I chose Mudkip this time. As a kid I was always torn between the two.

Maserati777 February 9th, 2016 4:38 PM

In OR I chose Mudkip because I used Treecko in Sapphire and I rarely pick water starters.

Kostas February 10th, 2016 4:54 AM

Treecko all the way!!
I got Alpha Saphire a few days ago and also I chose Treecko in Saphire and Emerald too so It's like a tradition.

SteveTheFish February 10th, 2016 10:24 AM

Mudkip! Water Pokemon have always been my favorite as far as starters go.

Dedenne1 February 10th, 2016 12:09 PM

i chose mudkip cause i felt like not using blaziken since we already had him in kalos so it was between him and treeko

I chose Torchic and I'm sorta regretting it but again if I picked Swampert I wouldn't be able to have my Sharpedo and Walrein.. Blaziken is good and all but I should of picked Treeko over Shiftry lol.

Brooksie February 29th, 2016 9:43 AM

I ended up picking Mudkip, mainly because I already had Blaziken in X from when the game was first released.

Gilles de Rais March 6th, 2016 5:45 AM

I've always been partial to Pokémon with a lot of offensive power, so I took Torchic. I like Mega Sceptile better than Mega Blaziken, though.

Chose torchick....still trying to beat the 1st gym leader.

Well, you can either evolve into Combusken or go catch a Shroomish.
