In Black and White, we were given the chance to choose either Tepig, Snivy, or Oshawott as our starters--which did you select? In Black, I chose Tepig; for some reason, I always have the tendency to go with the fire-type when picking starter. Not sure why, though. xD" In my second run, I went with Snivy. In Pokémon White, I selected Oshawott.

In my playthrough of Black, I obviously chose Oshawott because well I am not "that Oshawott girl" for nothing you know. Plus, he's the easiest of the bunch to use in my opinion and not the only one with the wonky stats.

My first playthrough I chose Oshawott. Admittedly just so I could get Pansear and then box the lil' otter for the rest of the game. >>"

But after that, I always just went with Tepid. I love the lil' guy so much. and his evo line is so epic. <3
It's a little funny to me because normally I rather really dislike fire-type, but Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar I really enjoy. .u.

I choose Snivy a lot of times, sometimes I go with oshawott

I wasn't careful of my options as Snivy and it's evolution got much trouble to counter, Tepig soon after Piginte and emboar will be lotsa hell towards it. Oshawott just clear the cleaning with Ice Beam or Aerial Ace XD or even mega horn

In my first run of Pokemon White in 2011, I picked Snivy because I loved its design, and I didn't like the Tepig and Oshawott lines back then. By the time Black 2 and White 2 came out, I had warmed up to the Oshawott line, but I still went with Snivy because there were better Water types available, like Azumarill, Starmie, and Lapras. That, and I still like the designs of the Snivy line more. I don't mind using the Oshawott line in ROM hacks, though.

I picked Snivy in my first Black and my first White playthroughs. Also, I picked Snivy for my Black 2 playthrough... You might say that I'ma fan of the Snivy line...

I have used the other two in other playthroughs of the game, but I just like Serperior a lot.

I first went for oshawott because I felt bad that no one liked his line haha, and I thought he seemed pretty cool. On my next playthrough I went for snivy and then on my third I went for tepig. Oshawott was good for my first choice though, although late game he ended up being a little weak. :< But that was okay because he had a rockin' mustache :D

At fist when i played White, chose Snivy. Then, doing a Nuzlocke, chose Tepig. Then, did another challenge,picked Oshawott. If you ask me it's a matter of feel. If i play and i feel like picking Tepig imma pick Tepig.

My first was snivy because of my affinity to train grass types aside from dragon types.

I picked Tepig, because I see Oshawott as hideous, and I'm indifferent to Snivy. But something strange with me is that two of each type of starter are my favourites! Squirtle and Totodile, Chimchar and Tepig, and Treecko and Snivy. Also Tepig himself just looks awesome and you can name it SmokyBacon

Wasn't really too fond of any of the 5th gen starters but I'd usually go with Oshawott because it fits my offensive minded play style. I know Tepig has good offense too but it's too slow for me.

In both Black & White I went with Oshawott. I bought B2W2 twice before buying the originals, so I had tried every starter by then.

Out of the 3, I loved Oshawott the most, and it evolves to even better looking Dewott (many times I choose not to evolve it). I also choose mainly Oshawott's line since I love otters.

Chose Oshawott in White and then i picked Tepig in Pokemon White 2. I just like the overall design of Oshawott over Tepig and Snivy. Snivy is my least favorite design wise.

I've actually tried them all and I think I'll go for Snivy, I'm particularly fond of its design and evolution, and while I enjoy Ohshawott , Samurott just seems a bit meh, but that's just my opinion. ;)
