What are you gonna do in X/Y that you have done in every Generation before and you consider it a tradition?
Are you going to add something new to these traditions?

My tradition is to always start with the Grass Starter each new Gen no matter what.Well i love Chespin so i am more than happy with the tradition.
I will as usuall do my ''5 level every city training''
Last i am gonna use a fairy type which is something new!Probably shushup

My tradition is probably gonna be to battle the first wild Pokémon I run across to gain experience. It isn't until after a while that I begin to run from wild Pokémon upon encounter.

I must win my first rival battle, if I lose then the whole 6th Gen. is ruined for me lol. I'll also have to catch every Pokémon that I can, mainly the new ones. I'll name my character 'Joshua', instead of the casual 'Josh.' I will also talk to ALL the people! Last but not least, I'll spare the Master Ball. As far as making new traditions, I don't have anything planned yet.

I'd choose the Water-type starter like usual (4th Gen was the only exception), I'll include a Grass and Fire-type to cover the lack of the other starters (otherwise if I go with Fire or Grass I again pick a substitute for the missing types) as well as a Flying-type to fly me around and then two wildcards. Might even try a Fairy-type on my team for once so I can get the hang of the new type.

I'll still name my character after my real name like usual.

Try and catch any new Pokemon I find, and trade for version exclusives if possible.

I only have a few things that I usually do on my first run-through of the Pokémon games. First and foremost, I never dump my starter on the first run. I feel like they're a big part of the game (for me at least) and I like to play through with one (Especially because Chespin is absolutely adorable). I tend to usually use of the starting birds as well (So Fletchling will probably make an appearance as well). Other than that I don't really have any big traditions!

I'm planning to break traditions and go balls-deep on this one. Trading all over with my friends, talking to NPCs, catching EVERYTHING, training harder (Jay's five-level concept sounds like a decent idea), and maybe actually using my starter this time around.

it is sort of a tradition to have 1 pokemon at least of every new type that comes out. BUT, my real tradition is that i have to win EVERY ****ING BATTLE with my rival otherwise the experience of beating the crap out of him with the type disadvantage is ruined for me

I always try to complete the pokedex after I beat the Elite Four. I am going to continue this tradition because filling the dex is my favorite thing to do. It is going to be harder than ever though with all the new pokemon @[email protected];

I always use a Bug-type for some reason, even though most of them aren't very good. I also always choose Chikorita when possible, but I don't really care for the grass-types of other generations. And I always use my starter. Your first pokemon in a new region is a magical creature. I never leave Chikorita, Squirtle, Torchic, Piplup, or Tepig at home.

Get the generic bird Pokémon and for this instance, it's Fletchling. Also, I'd get a team that is so completely wrong to use together. x3

My starter pokemon is always going to be one level higher than the rest and the other 5 pokemon should be at the same level. I also have an another tradition to never complete the Dex.

Usual traditions:
1 Catch every new Pokémon I encounter.
2 Talk to everyone.
3 Re-battle as many people as possible.
4 Have an HM slave & never let any of my pokes learn HMs besides Surf.
5 Complete the regional PokéDex.

Goals I hope to achieve this gen:
1 Use a Fairy type in my team.
2 Trade as much as possible to complete the National Dex.
3 Level up my pokes to be near lvl 100.

I'm gonna buy a crapload of Moomomilks(as soon as I am able) that usually last a few good hours into the game before they stop refilling health fully. Additionally, Soda Pop in the vending machine. Every time.
Love, you are simply the cat's meow...

Anonygoose, Fly is a good HM too.

I myself only have one tradition: never pick the grass-type starter in any region except Johto. I'd feel like I was cheating on Chikorita, my very first pokemon. Besides, except Chikorita, grass-types always seem to turn out the worst. Bulbasaur and Treecko go on major ice-cream binges before they evolve into Venusaur and Sceptile, Turtwig has some major swelling as it evolves, (seriously, go to a doctor. Nurse Joy is always open, Turtwig!) and Snivy loses its legs. It's called prosthetic legs, people. We've had them for some time now.

First Run/most used: Bulbasaur - Chikorita - Torchic - Infernape - Oshawott

Least/never used : Squirtle - Totodile - Mudkip - Piplup - Tepig

I just realized I really don't like water starters, except for Oshawott.

Usually I don't pick a type if I REALLY REALLY like a Pokemon of that type already. For instance, I love Snivy's line, but I already had Lilligant, Leavanny, and Maractus to choose from. (Unova had the best grass pokemon!) The same can be said with Charizard, all of my favorite fire types were in Kanto, Rapidash, Arcanine, and Vulpix, so I would rather pick a Venusaur, of which, I only sorta like Vileplume, but it isn't very green, which is sort of a must for a first run especially. So really, the evolution of the starters makes a difference, but it's the release of the other available pokemon that seals the deal. I can't say I go with any type out of tradition, rather I make the best team of grass, fire, and water that I find aesthetically pleasing.

This time through, I like all of the starters.
Though, Fennekin and Chespin are the ones that really excite me.
Froakie, I could see him totally getting a king frog evolution, with a white crown and bubble robe, which might make him a contender. Thus far, there have been no grass, fire, or water reveals that have caught my eye, maybe Litleo or Skelp when they evolve. So I will begin to implement my traditional plan of attack once I figure out more about the other pokemon in the region. Fingers crossed we get SOMETHING during Smash tonight.
