Username(nickname):Daughter of Dawn. Call me Lily Oak or Just Lily Please and thank you.
Partner(choose a starter from the list):Well I should choose piplup because of my mother Dawn or Squirtle because of my Father Gary but I am Going to choose Fennekin.
Answer to current topic:I think that Gen VI is my favourite gen starters. Due to Fennekin being Fire/Psychic it is an unusual typing in the pokemon world. I hope one day they make a starter thats Fire/Grass but that would probably never happen. And I also like the gen II simple because that was the only time I got all three starters and leveled them up to a level 100.
Fennekin is an excellent choice of a partner! Are you excited to you him in X&Y? I know that he is really a fan favorite and for good reason. While personally I prefer Chespin, Fennekin is absolutely adorable and a really well designed Pokemon.

Partner (choose a starter from the list): Oshawott! You know me right eh?
Answer to current topic: My fave sets of starters is a tie between 4th, 5th and 6th Gen. I fell in love with all their designs and I think all their base forms are so cute, especially Oshawott from 5th Gen but I'm biased because he's my fave. 4th Gen's all gained dual-typing by their final stages meaning new moves they wouldn't have learned otherwise and 6th Gen's all look adorable and I'm hoping they get awesome evolution designs too.
I knew you would pick Oshawott as a partner! He really is an adorable Pokemon that I adore. I also agree with you that gen 4 is pretty cool for having all of the starters gain secondary typings upon their evolution. Since you are looking forward to seeing the 6th gen evolutions, what secondary types do you hope the 6th gen starters will obtain?

What is your favorite generation of starters and why?
Generation 1 has one of the best sets of starters. This is probably because they weren't held back by uncreativeness and any idea could be used. The whole reptile theme could be argued as uncreative but their designs are just overall the definition of badassery. They just seem to be better design-wise as I like them better than the later designs. I'm not saying the rest are bad though. The starters of Gen I had more spunk than the rest and I generally think they gave the others a run for their money. I also like Gen 4's although I think the second stage evolutions are absolutely horrible. No offence to any lovers of them but I'm just not overly impressed with them. Gen 3 and Gen 2 have fantastic starters, while Gen 5 is pretty cool. Even Pignite seemed like an okay Pokemon, at least in my opinion. The newest starters are some of my favourites so far, hence my partner being Chespin. That thing is incredibly adorable since I stopped liking Fennekin as much. (although its still amazing)
Overall though all of the generation of starters has ups and downs. No starters are what I'd consider absolutely perfect Pokemon but I love them nonetheless. They begin your Pokemon journey and without them, you could of never gotten anywhere. <3
I am so happy so see someone pick Chespin <3 He is my favorite of the new starters and will make a perfect partner for you!
I agree that gen 1 has some amazing starters as I have stated before. The designs were simplistic, yet wonderful. They will always be some of the most amazing Pokemon of all time.
