I usually like to pick Torchic when I play through Hoenn, so that's what I went with for AS. For OR I picked Treecko so I could mix things up a bit.

Treeko, and I've been rather disappointed. I gotta stop getting my hopes up over Grass types.

Got a mudkip & cyndaquil in a wonder trade. Things have been going smooth just beat the electric gym leader. Thanks for the advice.

AS: Mudkip
OR: Torchic
Soon, I'll reset OR and get a treecko too, but those 2 are cutest!

I will always choose Torchic. I can't even imagine a play-through without him.

Jetfire March 9th, 2016 4:58 PM

Torchic was my go to in R/S/E and in ORAS. Fire has always been first choice and I couldn't have been happier with Torchic.

Blaziken was a badass back in the day and nowadays he's top notch.

Torchic. I think it has the best final evolution and it's preevolution is very catching to the eye.

Adore March 9th, 2016 10:51 PM

I chose Torchic strictly for sentimental reasons (it was my starter in the original Sapphire version). If I ever replay the games I'll definitely pick a different starter, though, just to try something different.

I picked Mudkip because the Mega looks so awesome and hilarious at the same time. I feel as if Torchic was the least picked starter in ORAS since the whole Mega Blaziken event occured in X/Y (nothing against Torchic fans)

Typically I tend to lean toward fire starters, but this time around for some unknown reason I went with Treecko. But oddly I'm satisfied with this choice.

lunathecat March 20th, 2016 2:17 PM

I picked Treecko, but I went back and got the others from friends and basically decided which one I liked best, which ended up staying Treecko. I flip flop with types though, sometimes I prefer water, grass, or fire. It doesn't really matter to me at the end of the day, so long as I enjoy the pokemon and they're good in battle. It's a combination effort for me.

DragonRageUk March 20th, 2016 2:53 PM

Mudkip as water is probably my second favourite type I normally go with water starters, when I started speed running omega ruby I was so happy that you speedrun half of it was mudkip :D

JohnnyGolduck March 20th, 2016 3:47 PM

I picked Mudkip every single time I ever played Ruby so for Alpha Saphire I figured I'd go with Torchic. I like Torchic and Combusken. Not sure on Blaiziken yet.

Mortar March 23rd, 2016 6:59 PM

I picked Mudkip for Omega Ruby. Way back in the day when I first got Pokémon Sapphire I picked Torchic, though.

jabber2033 March 24th, 2016 6:48 PM

I picked Torchic for Alpha Sapphire. For my Nuzlocke in OR though, I rolled a 6 so had to go with Mudkip.

The Noivern March 26th, 2016 11:39 PM

Originally I picked Treecko because I rarely use grass types and I wanted to try something new, and I'm happy with my choice, but I also wish I could've had Torchic as well since I've always wanted a Blaziken.

DiamondCreeper23 March 27th, 2016 9:26 PM

I just saw results... why is everyone hating torchic!?!?

LergiOfficial March 30th, 2016 5:08 PM

I had to choose Treecko, I've always been a sucker for the Grass starters.

It was mainly due to a Torchic event with the Blazikenite Mega Stone that was distributed when X/Y were first released, and many people used that Torchic in the game so when OR/AS came around, they wanted a change and that's why Treecko and Mudkip got chosen more because their Mega Evolutions were more "new".

OuterTsuchinoko March 31st, 2016 9:30 AM

I picked Torchic, always was my favorite of the Hoenn starters. On my Omega Ruby I picked Mudkip though. I really never liked Treecko, but I do like his evolutions.

Koraka April 2nd, 2016 2:02 PM

I'm actually surprised not a lot of people picked Torchic. MegaBlaze is pretty powerful later in the game and useful. I find fire type pokemon harder to come across

I think it's because you were given a hidden ability Torchic with Blazikenite attached in XY early on through a gift download so a lot of people already used it. =o I was actually torn between Treecko and Mudkip for a while, mega Swampert has grown on me a lot lately..

Outlander April 2nd, 2016 9:10 PM

Since I already have the event speed boost Torchic from my X version I chose Treecko this time around. I'm loving Mega Sceptile.

Toby_Ryuzaki April 6th, 2016 6:40 AM

I choose Treecko as my starter during Omega Ruby. In terms of design i prefer Blaziken much more between those 3 starters. I wonder if people voted out of their fav or over what they really choose in-game xD I wonder what other people voted as their fav style and design in the 3 starters.

BlackTalon April 6th, 2016 6:36 PM

Mudkip has always been my favorite so I picked Mudkip as my starter. I loved Mega Swampert too!
